Mayor McDonough

Mayor McDonough is the mayor of Diamond City in 2287.

Background
McDonough is an elderly man, dressed in a brown suit and hat with a flower in his lapel. Brother to John McDonough, he grew up in Diamond City and has always had his eyes set on the office of mayor--for any number of possible reasons. McDonough was controversially elected to the position by fearmongering against the city's ghoul population, and promising to expel them from the city--a promise he kept upon election, alienating him from his brother.

Since then McDonough has been a popular major among the merchants due to his emphasis on keeping Diamond City prosperous and safe, but something of a conflicted figure among the Lower Field population due to the circumstances of his election and his refusal to investigate the recent spate of kidnappings. He has a particular vendetta with Piper Wright, due to the nature of her newspaper, Publick Occurrences, and temporarily bans her from entering the city. Specifically, Piper has published an article accusing McDonough of being a synth.

Appearances
Mayor McDonough appears only in Fallout 4.
