Samuel (Wastelanders)

Samuel is a member of the settlers residing in Foundation.

Background
Samuel arrived at Foundation some time in 2103. Elsie Taylor notes he is one of the settlement's newer citizens. He shares that he is from a Vault similar to that of the Vault 76 dwellers, noting its location is far away and well hidden, insisting that those inquiring would not have heard of it, and that he doesn't even know how to get back to. Samuel mentions that he misses living there, but is likewise glad to be free of tests subjected upon him. However, the apparel that he wears is from Vault-Tec University.

Samuel is light hearted, and enjoys playing Nuka Tapper, although expresses his frustration at losing his saved games. He is also an avid lyricist, though some residents try to avoid being an audience to it. Samuel attempts to use regional words such as "yinz," "hoagies" and "jawn," though he expresses confusion with the terms and says he cannot keep up, referring to the different dialects that are found in Foundation's diverse populace. He is also good friends with Jen, whom he states that she has a style that he can respect.

At Foundation, Samuel mostly works on whatever is needed, and that Ward is still trying to figure out what he's bast at, though at the moment the young man is fairly occupied with repairs. After the Vault 79 heist, he becomes Foundation's gold bullion trader.

Other interactions
After the events of Secrets Revealed, the last quest in the Wastelanders main questline, Samuel will become available as a merchant, as Ward assigns the gold bullion exchange to him.

Effects of player's actions
Despite not participating in the Wastelanders questline, Samuel has different outcomes involving Jen.
 * If Mochou was spared in Invisible Ties, during All That Glitters Jen will mention she's going to help her mother settle in Foundation, and that she plans of finding a doctor that can change Mochou's face thanks to a tip from Samuel.
 * If the player character chooses to kill Mochou, Jen will continue to work with Foundation until All That Glitters, in which she will mention she's going to bury her mother beside her father to the north in the Capital Wasteland, and that Samuel will accompany her.

Merchandise
Samuel sells rare plans. The availability of merchandise depends on one's reputation with the settlers. He only trades in gold bullion.
