Father Clifford

Father Clifford is the reverend of the Saint Monica's Church in Rivet City in the year 2277.

Background
Born in 2217, Father Clifford is the head of Saint Monica's Church in Rivet City. His acolyte is Diego. He is the spiritual guide for the inhabitants of Rivet City. As such, he used to counsel Mister Lopez, trying to get him to stop attempting to end his life, but it seems that he had little success other than decreasing the amount of time Mister Lopez spends on the flight deck.

Relationships
Father Clifford has an acolyte, Diego, who he has taken care of since Diego was abandoned by his father. The bond they have is like father and son.

Daily schedule
Father Clifford is normally seen in and around Saint Monica's Church but is known to roam around the inside of Rivet City talking to other residents. On occasion Father Clifford can be found in the Muddy Rudder lecturing anyone present on the dangers of sin in the bar.

Every Sunday Father Clifford holds a mass, for which most of Rivet City's named non-player characters show up.

Quests

 * Church Donations: If the player wants to gain karma, the player can talk to Father Clifford and make a donation to the church.
 * A Nice Day for a Right Wedding: The player can tell Father Clifford about Angela and Diego.

Other interactions

 * If the player talks to Father Clifford he gives the player a brief history of his church and role.

Appearances
Father Clifford only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * The Sunday sermon is often glitched: either Father Clifford is not present at all, but non-player characters shush each other because he is speaking, or he will be present, but not speaking. It is advisable to go to church before starting A Nice Day For a Wedding, as the Sunday sermon seems to get stuck because of a bug in that quest.
 * He has also been noticed speaking his sermon in the upper deck hallways on days other than Sunday.
