Grahm is a friendly super mutant merchant and chef living in Appalachia with his pack brahmin companion, Chally the moo-moo.
Background[]
Little is known of Grahm's history prior to 2102, other than what minute information he offers in his dialogue. He mentions someone he refers to as "Smarty," whose advice guided Grahm into becoming a merchant.[1][2]
By 2102, Grahm would be one of, if not the only, remaining live humanoids that was both sapient and friendly towards humans in Appalachia. As Dwellers of Vault 76 re-entered the world and swept into Appalachia, Grahm found much enjoyment in trading with them.
Grahm travels with 'Chally the moo-moo' (rhymes with "alley") and considers trading to be a game with the brahmin.[3] He puts a great deal of personal responsibility into the overall wellbeing of Chally and will frequently engage in one-sided conversation with her on their travels.
A long time ago during a warm day, Grahm used to spend time with his friends and cook meat. Since then, he has felt alone, remembering the old days. Due to that, Grahm decided to cook meat again for his new friends he had made across Appalachia.[4] According to Grahm, the first Meat Week was on a sunny day that made the super mutant want to spend time outside and cook. Grahm began to have more and more of these "meat days" and wanted to come up with a name for them. Eventually, after tossing out "Meat Many Days," he decided on "Meat Week."[5]
Sometime after Reclamation Day, Grahm and Chally hosted their "Meat Week" event close to Vault 76, with an express invitation toward the Vault Dwellers. Here, Grahm would prepare a grand cookout, with Dwellers assisting him in his grilling, in exchange for various prizes he'd collected through trading in the past year.
As of 2103, Grahm has become acquainted with many of the newly-arrived people in Appalachia, such as Ayla and Sofia Daguerre.[6] He is fond of stopping by the new farms and settlements that have sprung up, likely due to the new business opportunities they bring.[7] His business is well-known around Appalachia, mostly for the novelty of a super mutant who sells goods, with even the scavengers of Emmett Mountain disposal site having heard of tales of the friendly super mutant trader.[8] Maul, another super mutant, also knows Grahm.[9]

Location[]
- Chance to spawn at travel-type encounters throughout Appalachia.
- While Meat Week is active, he can be found at the unmarked cookout spot southwest of Vault 76 for the full duration of the event.
- On a freshly created private adventure server, Grahm will spawn near the Monongah Power Plant fast-travel location. He will then either head down the road to the southeast, or up the road towards Monongah. You can tell if a server is freshly created by either looking at the time in the Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI's Data tab, with it being close to 11:00 A.M. on a new server; or, while loading into a server, the message "Building World" will appear for a fresh server.
Notes[]
- Grahm takes damage from enemies, and can be downed, but he will never die and quickly recovers from an attack. Grahm will not respond to attacks from player characters, but, he will fight enemies that are present along his route, which can be used to the player character's benefit by leading enemies toward Grahm.
- At night, Grahm will eventually stop moving.
- When Grahm is near Hillfolk Hotdogs, he can say that this place is familiar, the meat he smells is familiar, and meat is where the home is.
- Julie of Appalachia Radio has been in contact with Grahm, who has repeatedly asked for songs about meat, with "Butcher Pete" being the closest one she can find.[10]
- Torr Buckner in Fallout 2 also referred to brahmin as "moo-moos."
Appearances[]
Grahm appears only in Fallout 76.
Behind the scenes[]
- Three different voice actors have had the role of Grahm attributed to them, including Ray Chase, Chip Joslin and Dave Fennoy (all of whom also voice generic super mutants). Chase has promoted the role of Grahm on social media,[Non-game 1] as has Joslin.[Non-game 2] Joslin was described as an "alternate" voice for Grahm in a Twinfinite article,[Non-game 3] though the exact distinction of who voiced which lines between Chase and Joslin is unclear. Fennoy only voiced Grahm as part of dialogue from the Wastelanders update, including lines such as his conversation with Sofia Daguerre.
- Quest designer Carl McKevitt contributed to the writing of Grahm's Meat Week dialogue, though he did not create the character.[Non-game 4]

Grahm: "What do Space people eat? You eat meat? Space meat?! MOON MEAT?"
Sofia Daguerre: "Moon... meat? No. I eat grains, plants, mushrooms... I don't eat meat. Wait... do you think the moon is made of meat?"
Grahm: "Oh! Greenies. Like Chally. SEE? Chally is ready for SPACE! Chally is going to the MOON!"
Sofia Daguerre: "Er... well. I doubt that we could find a helmet ---"
Grahm: "Chally isn't Moo-Moo for long! Soon Chally is MOON-MOON!"
Sofia Daguerre: "Why not? Dream big or don't dream at all... um. I gotta get back to... literally anything else now."
