Virginia Brotherhood of Steel

The Virginia Brotherhood of Steel is a chapter of the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel located in the Virginia Wasteland, lead by Elder Morris.

Background
Following the events of Adams Airforce Base, the Brotherhood knew of the Enclave's retreat, yet it stayed to focus on the Capital Wasteland. When Elder Lyons died however, followed quickly by his daughter Sarah Lyons, the new Elder, Lewis Hays, began a campaign to finally eliminate the East Coast Enclave once and for all by chasing them into the Virginia Wasteland.

Elder Hays' mission was initially successful, with Recon Squad Minerva capturing Fort A.P. Hill with ease and the creation of Fort Dominion in the Richmond Metro. He declared the beginning of the 2nd Brotherhood-Enclave War once he gained intel of the Enclave's presence in Langley Airforce Base. In 2279, Elder Hays ordered the Virginia Brotherhood of Steel to aid the Newport Raiders in pushing the Navals out of Yorktown, with the hope of securing an alliance to use against the Enclave. When the Brotherhood-Naval War ended however, the Newport Raiders quickly surrounded the Brotherhood forces in Yorktown, betraying and slaughtering them. With this humiliating defeat, Lewis Hays stepped down as Elder.

Anna Everett took Lewis Hays' position as Elder. She campaigned for the continuation of the mission to eliminate the Enclave, yet she took a more aggressive stance. The Brotherhood began to hire mercenaries to aid them in the 2nd Brotherhood-Enclave War, including several bounty hunters. Wilbert Morris, a good friend of Elder Everett's, was appointed regional Elder of the new Virginia chapter.
