Abraham Washington

Abraham Washington is the 45-year old owner and curator of the Capitol Preservation Society in Rivet City in 2277.

Background
Washington, 45, continues the work started by his parents, who were just as passionate about preserving their heritage as residents of the nation's capital. He's a virtual shut-in at his Capitol Preservation Society. Abraham is one of those classic social outcasts who talks to himself all the time. He has almost no social skills and has a deeper emotional connection to his historical objects than he does to any human being.

Daily schedule
As curator, he is normally seen walking around Capitol Preservation Society rooms and sometimes around other parts nearby.

Interactions with the player character
Talking to Abraham Washington for the first time you will learn about his Capitol Preservation Society and some basic information about American history.

After a short dialogue he will ask you to retrieve the Declaration of Independence from the National Archives. Most of the artifacts he has on display were also pillaged from the National Archives. Looting from his rooms will yield nothing of major value.
