Codsworth

Codsworth is a Mister Handy character and a companion in Fallout 4.

Background
Codsworth is a Mister Handy that was the Sole Survivor's robotic butler before the Great War. He was not granted entry to Vault 111, as claimed by the Vault-tec representative, and was left behind when the war was announced on television. Codsworth is reunited with the Survivor after 210 years of roaming around Sanctuary Hills, still loyal to his master.

At first, Codsworth seems cheerful and oblivious to what has happened. However, talking to him reveals that he is actually very depressed about the state of the world, and was deeply affected by his two century isolation. To cope, he pretends that nothing happened. At some point after the bombs fell, Codsworth visited the town of Concord - mentioning that the locals shot at him a few times.

Codsworth is known to say the player character's chosen name if it is an option, although it may be shortened, extended or have a word omitted. A list of spoken names can be found here.

Quests
Sanctuary: The Sole Survivor has to team up with Codsworth and scout the area of what once was Sanctuary Hills.
