==Background==
Samuel arrived at Foundation some time in 2103. Elsie Taylor notes he is one of the settlement's newer citizens.A Vault Dweller: "A Can you tell me about the others?"Elsie Taylor: "Best way to get to know someone is either to fight them or share a meal. I recommend sharing a meal. Samuel is one of our newer citizens. Maybe you can be his friend. He's from a Vault, like you."(Elsie Taylor's dialogue) He claims that he is from a Vault similar to that of the Vault 76 dwellers, noting its location is far away and well hidden, insisting that those inquiring would not have heard of it, and that he does not even know how to get back to it.A Vault Dweller: "How did you end up here?" Samuel: "I came from a Vault, just like you. "(Samuel's dialogue) Samuel mentions that he misses living there, but is likewise glad to be free of tests subjected upon him.Samuel: "The only time I miss being inside the Vault is when the weather's bad ... or if there's a nuke."(Samuel's dialogue)Settler: "Hey, how's it going Samuel?"Samuel: "You know me, I'm just happy we found this place. Sick of not having a roof over my head."Settler: "You miss that vault living, dweller?"Samuel: "Nope, no more tests for me. Just give me chill tunes and a cold Nuka-Cherry, thank you."(Samuel's dialogue) However, the apparel that he wears is from Vault-Tec University.
Samuel is light hearted, and enjoys playing Nuka Tapper, although expresses his frustration at losing his saved games.Samuel: "Can't believe I lost my Nuka Tapper saves, ugh."(Samuel's dialogue) He is also an avid lyricist, though some residents try to avoid being an audience to it.Settler: "Hey Samuel."Samuel: ""Settler: ""Samuel: ""(Settler and Samuel's dialogue)Settler: "What you been up to, Samuel?"Samuel: "I got a lot of things in motion right now, you know how it is. Some construction, some scavenging, and got my songwriting of course... How about you?"Settler: "Oh uh, well I'm supposed to take all of these chems from Doc Aubrie or my gums will start ah... bleeding again. You know."Samuel: "Oh uh... yikes, man. You do that."(Settler and Samuel's dialogue) Samuel attempts to use regional words such as "yinz," "hoagies" and "jawn," though he expresses confusion with the terms and says he cannot keep up, referring to the different dialects that are found in Foundation's diverse populace.Samuel: "Is it yinz... or youse... or y'all? I can't keep up."(Samuel's dialogue)Samuel: "What the heck is a jawn anyway? I just don't get it."(Samuel's dialogue)Samuel: "I could really go for a hoagie ... er, sandwich."(Samuel's dialogue)
At Foundation, while Ward is still trying to figure out what he's best at, Samuel mostly works on whatever is needed.A Vault Dweller: "What's your job here?" Samuel: "Little bit of this and a little bit of that. Whatever needs doing. Ward says he's still trying to figure out what I'm best at."(Samuel's dialogue) At the moment, though, he is fairly occupied with repairsA Vault Dweller: "See you later." Samuel: "Let me know if you see any repairs I should add to my list. The evergrowing, unending list...."(Samuel's dialogue) and scavenging. After the Vault 79 heist, Ward assigns him as Foundation's gold bullion trader.A Vault Dweller: "What's your job here?"Samuel: "For a while I was just kicking around doing odd jobs. But Ward gave me an important job. I'm in charge of the gold bullion exchange."(Samuel's dialogue)
He is also good friends with Jen, whom occasionally joins in scavenging hunts.Settler: "Hiya Davie, how're you today?"Davie Taylor: "Ah, I'm okay. A little bored, though."Settler: "Did you hear that Jen and Samuel found a bunch of comics on the last scavenger run?"Davie Taylor: "Wow, really? I gotta ask Dad if we can trade for some. Thanks!"(Settler and Davie Taylor's dialogue) He also states that she has a style he can respect.Samuel: "Jen's got style that I can respect. You know what I mean?"(Samuel's dialogue) It is implied that Samuel has a romantic interest in her,Settler: "Hey Samuel."Samuel: "Hey. I'm writing some lyrics for a song, listen to this... She's long, she's tall. She's got ways, she's got means. Oh oh oh, she's a queen. Oh oh-"Settler: "Oh uh, I don't actually have the time to uh, stop and really listen right now. Besides, you should ask Jen or something."Samuel: "Oh hey, yeah man. That makes sense. Take it easy!"(Settler and Samuel's dialogue) though it is never shown whether or not she shares this interest.
