The reaver is still keeping half a brain in working condition. Curie III sees him as an example of what an ideal apostle should be,[1] even if they have not been chosen by Atom like her own son.[2]

Notes
Atom's Champion is one of two non-hostile feral ghouls in the monastery, the other being Sun of Atom.
Despite being a reaver, he lacks the green "flame" effect that other reavers have.
Attempting to engage him in dialog will result in him doing actions instead of speaking. He eventually may also "have a fit", where he waves his hands around in the air.
↑Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.97: "Son of Atom When a human transcends mortality and straddles the ether, they can be seen to be both living in the "real" and "spiritual" realm. Mother Curie III firmly believes her own son to have taken the final steps on this journey. In fact, much of her son's higher functions have disappeared, and only instinct is preventing this confused Glowing One from attacking."
