Mayor Chris Avellone

Chris Avellone is the mayor of the town of Springfield around 2195.

Background
Avellone reached the mayor's seat after the previous mayor disappeared under suspicious circumstances. However, Avellone took to his new power and started causing trouble. This lead to a developing assassination plot that was only averted due to the protection of a squad from the Brotherhood of Steel. He was made to sign a "Bill of Monster's Rights"; this political stance angered some of Springfield's far-right, as well as human activists who refused to acknowledge the "sub-humans" as near equals.

Mission
In 2197, the Brotherhood of Steel sent a squad to Springfield to protect Avellone from a plot to assassinate him. After the BOS squad rescued the mayor, he became quite the puppet official and the extra resources helped fuel the Brotherhood machine. He signed the "Bill of Monster's Rights", which gave some limited rights to ghouls (such as ghouls being entitled to a payment equal to, or greater than, half that of a purebred human).

Appearances
Chris Avellone appears only in Fallout Tactics.

Behind the scenes
This character was based on Interplay (now Obsidian) game designer Chris Avellone, both in name and appearance. Chris did not voice the character however, and has said had he realized he was there he likely would have asked the developer to take him out as he is against "breaking the fourth wall".
