Mechanist (Fallout 4)

The Mechanist, actually Mayor Murphy in disguise, was a fictional villain in the Silver Shroud radio series, serving as an antagonist to the Silver Shroud.

Background
In the Silver Shroud radio series, the mayor of Boston believed that humanity was weak and should be replaced by his own robot army, subsequently stylizing himself as the Mechanist. Included in this army were the mobster Fat Fahy and a group of mob-bots. Wishing to take down the crimefighter Silver Shroud, Mayor Murphy created a robot version of himself and set the robot to meet with Fat Fahy and die, in order to lure in Silver Shroud and the Mistress of Mystery. When the two investigated the mayor's death, they discovered that he and his accomplices were robots serving the Mechanist.

When they arrived at the Mechanist's lair within a warehouse, he successfully captured them both with plans to kill the heroes. However, the two crimefighters were freed by one of the Mechanist's own creations, a mob-bot that had gained sentience and with it, hatred for his creator. The group fought and destroyed the Mechanist's robot army.

In a last ditch effort, the Mechanist attempted to kill the Silver Shroud with the Shroud's own submachine gun. However, the Silver Shroud's apparel deflected the bullets, resulting in the bullets bouncing off of him and hitting the Mechanist, fatally wounding him. As he died, the Silver Shroud unmasked him, revealing his true identity as Mayor Murphy.
