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. With at least as much patience as he has initially, he will give better items when becoming a Salvatores' Made Man.

Appearances
Mason appears only in Fallout 2.
