Mayfield

Mayfield was the police chief of Morgantown.

Background
Police chief Mayfield helped lead Morgantown prior to and after the Great War. After students began looting the city, he opened fire on them and declared a mandatory curfew. Though he enjoyed support from much of the local law enforcement, he was opposed by other Responders like Melody Larkin who viewed his actions as heavy-handed. Complaints against Mayfield were raised with acting governor Abigale Poole and the Charleston Emergency Government, but it is unclear whether they took any action against him.

Within a year of the War the police lost control of Morgantown, with former students of Vault-Tec University and Morgantown High School divided between Roof House and Street House battling each other for supplies and dominance in the ruined city.

Due to his order of martial law being unused in the game, it is unclear whether full martial law was in effect in Morgantown, or just a mandatory curfew.

Appearances
Mayfield is mentioned only in Fallout 76.
