M7-62, also known as Mayor McDonough is the mayor of Diamond City in 2287.
Background
McDonough is a middle aged man dressed in a brown suit and hat with a flower in his lapel. He impersonates the brother of John McDonough, his human counterpart that grew up in Diamond City and had always had his eyes set on the office of the mayor--for any number of possible reasons. McDonough was controversially elected to the position by fear-mongering 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 his election, McDonough has been a popular mayor among 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.[2] Specifically, Piper has published an article (truthfully) accusing McDonough of being a synth.
It is unknown when the real McDonough was replaced by M7-62.

Notes
- If Piper is brought into his office, he will shout at her to get out.
- One can learn that he is a Synth upon reaching level 30 (after the completion of the main quest on side of anyone but The Institute) and traveling to Diamond City, starting the quest In Sheep's Clothing, by being given the radiant quest Political Leanings from Justin Ayo, or by reading a SRB terminal within the Institute.
- Before the quest In Sheep's Clothing (or indefinitely if you side with The Institute) McDonough is one of the few Invincible NPCs of the game.
- Piper's interactions with Mayor McDonough seem to be inspired by Bob Woodward's and Carl Bernstein's reporting of the Watergate scandal which eventually led to the resignation of President Nixon. This is further lampshaded by Mayor McDonough's "I Am Not a Synth" speech.
- McDonough has shown a desire to join the SRB of the Institute as a Courser; however, terminals show that McDonough's synth body would be incompatible with the lifestyle of a Courser, and implies he will be disposed of when he outlives his usefulness.
- If the player character enters his room they can see two mannequins in a corner, one is dressed in a sweater vest and one is dressed in a red coat. This is possibly a reference to him and John Hancock.
Appearances
Mayor McDonough appears only in Fallout 4.
