Abraham Washington

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

Background
Abraham Washington was born in 2232. He collects U.S. relics from the D.C. area, as well as famous U.S. documents. He inherited the museum from his parents who where just as passionate about preserving their heritage as he is.

Abraham Washington does not have any known family still alive.

He is a social outcast, who rarely moves outside of the museum and often talk to himself. He has better bonding with the objects in his preservation society than with any person.

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. Due to his involvement with early US history, his name is likely an amalgam of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Looting from his rooms will yield nothing of major value.
