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).

Notable quotes

 * "We shouldn't hate the ghouls for being what they are. They can't help it if they were mutated into hideous looking monsters. Remember, that inside that monster, under the rotting flesh, the flaking skin, and the misshapen features is a second-class citizen."
 * "I know you may not want to pat a ghoul on the back and that's OK. Just don't burn its house down.."

Appearances
Chris Avellone appears only in Fallout Tactics.
