Obadiah Blackhall

 is one of the inhabitants of Point Lookout. Living in the estate of his family, Blackhall Manor, he despises the other inhabitants of Point Lookout to varying degrees, either because he considers them uncivilized or simply dumb.

When the Obadiah first meets the player, he is polite, and asks the player to sit down and chat. Obadiah sits in a wheel chair, next to a pair of gas canisters, and crutches, signaling that he is disabled. However, once the player completes the Dark Heart of Blackhall quest, it is shown he is fully capable of walking.

Obadiah can be seen praying infront of a dead Swampfolk, after completing the Dark Heart of Blackhall, and when the player states he hides bodies in rivers, he responds by saying he and the player are more different than they can comprehend. If the player asks Obadiah " I thought this occult nonsense was below you" Obadiah will proceed to call you a Troglodyte. How he knows what one is unknown. it is possible we had been to the Pitt before, or Swampfolk are a sort of Troglodyte.

Obadiah wants you to retrieve The Krivbeknih from some Swampfolk who stole it believing it has magical properties.

Appearances
appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.

Bugs
Obadiah will not show up on your compass as friendly or hostile. This can be quite disconcerting due to the fact that he engages you in conversation, especially since you are under the assumption that his home is merely abandoned. (even with a 10 in perception) This might have also been planned by the developers to freak the player out.

Trivia

Blackhall and the mission related to him is a nod to the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
