**Absalom** is a hostile wastelander wandering the Commonwealth and even as far as the Island, in 2287.

## Background

Absalom is a crazed wastelander who is immediately hostile, heavily armed and extremely dangerous. This roving sniper is not to be underestimated and is a serious threat to travelers in the Commonwealth.

## Encounter locations

He can be encountered at these locations:

* In a ruined house next to the ruined diner between Hangman's Alley and Vault 81.
* Dartmouth Professional Building.
* The church in Hyde Park.
* Near Skylanes Flight 1981.
* In the abandoned house with the "bar & restaurant" sign, near the Nahant Chapel.
* In an abandoned pharmacy due west of Mass Gravel & Sand right before the raised interstate.
* A roof near Monsignor Plaza.
* Near Fort Hagen.
* In an unmarked shack south of the Electrical Hobbyist's Club.
* In the bus and apartment wreckage (a yellow house between Andrew station and Hester's Consumer Robotics).
* Near Chestnut Hillock Reservoir.
* Near the Shamrock Taphouse.
* Near or inside Fallon's department store.
* A roof south of Custom House Tower and north of Shamrock Taphouse.
* In a warehouse between Quincy ruins and Atom Cats garage (closer to Quincy ruins).
* In the chapel at Hyde Park.
* Outside of Diamond City.
* In a Chryslus car center between Shaw High School and Gunners plaza.
* Upstairs in an unmarked house south of Croup Manor
* Template:Icon A shack near Eagle's Cove Tannery.
* Template:Icon A ruined house near the northern tip of the small island with Rayburn Point on it.

## Notes

* He is always hostile to the player character regardless of any external factors or Charisma based perks such as Intimidation.
	+ He will occasionally be non-hostile to Minutemen but this never includes the Sole Survivor; he is otherwise hostile to all factions and creatures.
* Absalom will say "Well that's never happened before" as he is dying, even if his head has been destroyed.
* Absalom's level scales up to the player character's which is relatively rare in *Fallout 4*. He has the same Hit Points and level scaling as most of the game's human companions, with a minimum level of 25 and a maximum level of 50. Thus, up until level 25 he will be tougher than a human companion, and after level 25 he will have exactly the same amount of health as they do up to level 50. This, combined with his full set of combat armor, makes him an especially tough opponent, particularly if he is encountered by the player character at a low level.
* If he is injured and not killed, he will remain at the same HP the next time he is encountered (but does not respawn).
* He will not reward the player character any XP upon death.
