The Scribe

The Scribe is a randomly encountered character in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
The Scribe is a former member of the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel, now wandering the Commonwealth repairing and selling armor. If the Sole Survivor asks what his story is, he says he was a Brotherhood of Steel scribe back in the Capital Wasteland under Elder Lyons.

He claims to have left the Brotherhood when Elder Maxson took over that chapter of the Brotherhood, because under Maxson the Brotherhood stopped using its resources to help the people and also mentions knowing Maxson back when he was still "Squire Maxson", who was a little boy that could be encountered at the Citadel in Fallout 3.

Encounter locations
(Work in progress)
 * On a road east of Dark Hollow Pond (Same road as the one in front of General Atomics Galleria)
 * East of Cambridge Police Station
 * On the road near a train bridge east of Boston Police rationing site
 * On a small square between Greenetech Genetics and Cambridge crater
 * On the street right outside of Med-Tek Research
 * Near Revere Satellite Array
 * Near the front of Hesters Consumer Robotics
 * Behind the Cambridge Polymer Labs building. To trigger random encounter, fast travel to the location and go south, then turn west and go down the road along the river until  you reach the broken Red Rocket billboard. Then turn around  and go back. Alternatively, travel to Cambridge Police Station and go down the same road to Cambridge Polymer Labs.
 * South of Concord, near where Trashcan Carla is first encountered.

Appearances
The Scribe appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs
Patch 1.4 partly fixes the Scribe, he shows up in the settlement and does not disappear anymore. But even if assigned to level 3 armor store, he still says that his selection is "limited right now", while it`s not limited and you can buy legendary pieces from him.
