Kent Connolly

Kent Connolly is a ghoul manning the Silver Shroud Radio Station, out of the Memory Den in Goodneighbor, in the year 2287.

Background
Kent Connolly is a ghoul who was born sometime before 2077. He is obsessed with the Silver Shroud radio drama and television series. He owns and operates the Silver Shroud radio station dedicated to airing the reruns of the fabled series to pass on his passion and with hopes that the Silver Shroud would return to dispense justice on ne'er-do-wells within Goodneighbor.

The Sole Survivor can meet Kent after tuning into his radio station. They will both reminisce about watching new episodes and eventually Kent explains his plan to attempt to bring the Shroud into reality. He has caught wind that the Silver Shroud costume is located in a nearby comic book store and tasks the Sole Survivor with retrieving it. After the Survivor has retrieved the costume and optionally the replica Silver Machinegun, Kent pleads for the survivor to take up the mantle of the Shroud and unleash justice on multiple evildoers within Goodneighbor.

After the selected murder of a few key personnel, Kent gets kidnapped by Sinjin, the leader of a dangerous raider militia. Kent is immediately in over his head, dragged to a distant abandoned hospital and held hostage to draw out the Survivor portraying the Shroud. The message of his kidnapping repeated infinitely, them shooting Kent in the knee after he opted to sacrifice himself for the safety of the Shroud, which the idea of was quickly thrown away after the fact.

Should Kent survive the hostage situation, he returns to Goodneighbor. Shaken by his experience and the real-world consequences of his actions, he considers putting both the radio station, and the joint operation of vigilante justice to rest. The Survivor can either convince him to continue on with the project, or allow him to give it up. If convinced to carry on, he will offer upgrades to the Silver Shroud costume.

Appearances
Kent Connolly appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs
Sometimes Kent gets stuck in the Milton General hospital after finishing the quest The Silver Shroud. If one has cleared out the robots earlier in the hospital, they may respawn back and trigger the Raiders causing Sinjin to shoot Kent immediately.
