Governor Evans

Governor Evans was the governor of the Appalachian Territories before the Great War.

Background
Evans' support for the armed forces through technological advancement led to him receiving a letter of thanks from the Office of the President.

Evans also enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with Hornwright Industrial; the company supported him with monetary and political backing, and in exchange, he protected the company from any harm and supported their automation agenda through Ballot Measure 6 and ensuring access to key contracts. However, he failed to keep his promise in the wake of the automation riots, causing Penelope Hornwright to threaten reallocating their funds, in turn leading to Evans mobilizing the National Guard.

He went missing after the Great War, neglecting or unable to turn over Executive Authority, which left the Appalachian governance unorganized. The original Responders were hesitant to follow orders and the Provisional Council had no confirmed leadership, contributing to the panic. He is also mentioned by the Warden of Eastern Regional Penitentiary, fearing he may slash the prison budget.

Appearances
Evans is mentioned only in Fallout 76.
