See all that filth down in the lower houses? I wouldn't keep my worst Brahmin in one. Only good for lesser men who have no value.

Clarence Codman is a businessman living in the upper stands of Diamond City in 2287, descended from the oldest family in the settlement. He and his wife own Diamond City's orchards, as well as the Codman family farms which supply meat to Choice Chops.[1][Non-game 1]

Background[]

Clarence can often be found outside in front of the Colonial Taphouse, and occasionally inside the Taphouse itself. He will talk about the poorer residents of Diamond City in a degrading manner and refer to them as the "filth down in the lower houses."[2] He can, however, appreciate confident and unapologetic attitudes as they remind him of how his family earned their fortune.[3]

Notes[]

  • Polly at Choice Chops mentions that the source of her brahmin meat is the "Codman family farms," which suggests that brahmin ranching may be the source of the Codmans' wealth and social status in the upper stands.[1]
  • When spoken to in the Colonial Taphouse, one of his dialogues includes "I wouldn't keep my worst Brahmin in one" when referring to the lower houses, showing his contempt for those of a lower social status.[2]
