Pickman is a serial killer and artist found in the Pickman Gallery in Fallout 4.
Background
Pickman lives and works in his art gallery, which displays pieces of art created with blood. He targets raiders and leaves his calling card on their corpses. When asked, he mentions a "small disagreement" he had with them, in that they "objected to [his] hobby of collecting their heads."[1]
The Sole Survivor meets Pickman within the tunnels of the gallery as Slab, a raider who seeks revenge for these deaths, prepares to attack.[2] If the player assists Pickman in killing the raiders, he expresses his thanks, stating that he is in their debt, and to "look deep within my painting Picnic for Stanley and you will find my gratitude."[3]
Pickman will also give the Sole Survivor a key that opens a safe on the ground floor of the gallery, containing Pickman's Blade and thank you note.

Notes
- It is possible to first learn of Pickman by looting a murdered raider previously killed near Pickman Gallery, as well as a random encounter of bodies placed elsewhere in the Commonwealth. His calling card is in the form of a note and left in the raider's inventory. Reading it shows him taunting other raiders and attempting to make them come to Pickman Gallery and depicts an image of a heart drawn in blood. If the player character hasn't discovered Pickman Gallery yet, opening the note will mark its location on the map and give them a misc objective to investigate the location.
- Most companions except for Cait, Piper and Strong dislike accepting Pickman's Gift.
- Alongside killing him to get the key, the Sole Survivor will not receive the thank you note if they have not spoken to Pickman before looting the safe.
- If the Sole Survivor opts to kill him or let the raiders kill him, his corpse can still be looted, but the note will not be in the safe.
- No matter what the Sole Survivor says to Pickman after saving his life, he will still hand over the key and begin Pickman's Gift.
- After being saved from the raiders, Pickman will nickname the Sole Survivor "Killer."
- Pickman's Blade can be picked by looting the safe behind the painting he directs the player character to. If they grab the knife and go back, the thank you letter still appears.
