Elliott Maxwell

Captain Elliot Maxwell was the commanding officer of the U.S. Army's 121st Infantry Platoon, deployed to protect Monongah Power Plant after the Great War.

Background
Elliot Maxwell lead a platoon of soldiers to protect the Monongah Power Plant from threats and secure it as a strategic location. However, he considered the posting boring and pointless due to initial inaction and the devastation of the surrounding area. On December 22, 2077, Elliot lost half of his platoon after they were ordered away by army command, and he attempted to counter his soldiers' boredom by establishing patrols.

Following the winter of 2077, the newly-formed raiders began attacking Monongah Power Plant the next year in both ambushes and full-on assaults, gradually killing off his remaining men. Despite this, Maxwell was dedicated to defending the plant, which led to his death on May 25, 2078 due to refusing to issue a retreat even with only nine soldiers left.

Appearances
Elliott Maxwell is mentioned only in Fallout 76.
