Justin Ayo

Justin Ayo (username Ayo.J) is the acting director of the Synth Retention Bureau in Fallout 4.

Background
Head of the Synth Retention Bureau, Justin Ayo is in charge of the Institute's security, including its surface operations. Coordinating Coursers and regular synth infantry units, it is Ayo's responsibility to project power and hit the enemies of the Institute. However, his attitudes towards other departments have caused the apparent neglect of his division, suffering from the lack of respect of other departments, particularly Robotics, delaying requested upgrade packages. His incessant bickering and demands cause much controversy within the Institute, situations that his second-in-command, Alana Secord, has to rectify "half the time."

It does not help that whenever an upgrade is delayed or rescheduled, Ayo becomes infuriated and accuses other departments of purposefully spiting him. Alana has to work overtime in these situations, to prevent him from walking into said departments with a host of Coursers in tow.

Technically, he is merely filling the position of Director in the absence of Dr. Zimmer, an absence which has continued for over a decade.

Quests

 * Mankind - Redefined: Ayo is vocally against Father's announcement to appoint the Sole Survivor as his successor, but Father's words remain final.
 * Plugging a Leak: Ayo is trying to find out how synths keep managing to escape despite his efforts to prevent it. This quest is only available if the Sole Survivor has not completed Tradecraft for the Railroad. Otherwise, Ayo is too suspicious of their Railroad ties to bring it up.
 * Political Leanings: Ayo wants the Sole Survivor to go and collect a report from a certain synth agent in a high profile position.

Appearances
Justin Ayo appears only in Fallout 4.
