Mason (Fallout 2)

Mason is Louis Salvatore's right hand man in 2241.

Background
Standing outside of his employer's room, Mason carefully guards it and prevents anyone from entering, unless requested by Louis. He is a powerfully built middle-aged man with a receding hairline, who loves Mr. Salvatore and would miss him terribly should the old man kick the bucket.

Quests

 * Track down Pretty Boy Lloyd, recover the stolen money, and make an… example of him: Mason briefs you on the details, a practice unique to the Salvatores.
 * Go visit Renesco the Rocketman and collect Mr. Salvatore's tribute of $1000
 * Help guard a secret transaction taking place in the desert: When going to oversee the desert transaction, Mason can give the Chosen One some energy weapons training, if Louis Salvatore agreed to give them a laser pistol.

Effects of player's actions
Mason has a "patience counter" that is drained by the Chosen One insulting him. If it ever runs out, he will attack, as will all the Salvatores present in the building. A few lines replenish the patience, such as a humorous side-note in Lloyd-related dialogue. A high enough leftover patience is scripted to grant better items when becoming a Salvatores' Made Man but it's likely unachievable.

Appearances
Mason appears only in Fallout 2.
