Michael Angelo

 is the artistic name of Sheldon Weintraub, the neurotic, agoraphobic billboard artist originally from Vault 21. Michael/Sheldon is the brother of Sarah Weintraub, the proprietress of Vault 21. He originates the quest Classic Inspiration.

Background
Together with his sister, Sarah Weintraub, Michael grew up in Vault 21. After Mr. House opened the vault, brought its inhabitants to the surface, and filled its lower part with concrete, Michael started to work as a designer of neon signs for The Strip's many establishments, often taking "special orders" from Mr. House himself. Like his sister, living inside a vault all his life has made Michael an agoraphobic, which means that he is afraid of wide, open spaces. Compared to his sister, Michael has the more severe form of agoraphobia, as he even has problems working on the main production floor of his workshop because of its size. Thus, he can usually be found in the workhop's back room, while his assistants, including Kate, work in the main hall. When first encountered by the player, Michael is lacking inspiration. Talking to the player, with years of costly therapy being out of the question, he realizes that he might regain his inspiration by studying sights he hasn't seen so far. With his agoraphobia making excursions into the Wasteland too strenuous, he sends the player on the quest Classic Inspiration to photograph certain landmarks for him.
