Alexi Mayhew

Basic info

Alexi was born in Potterstead to Paulina and Gideon Mayhew,[2] and had moved to Dunwall by 1841. Growing up, she was a close personal friend of Emily Kaldwin, even being allowed to take carriage rides with the young Empress. On one such journey, a group of Regenters ambushed the carriage at a time when Corvo was too far away to render aid. Alexi helped Emily hold off the Regenters, even throwing a lit grenade back at them, until the City Watch arrived and arrested the attackers. When she turned 18, she was immediately appointed to the Watch.[3] By 1850, she was a lieutenant[4], and by 1852, Emily had personally promoted her to captain.[3]

The Wyrnwood Deceit

Issue 1 Alexi is stationed at Dunwall Tower where she has elite members of the Watch train, some against the Royal Protector himself. She is quite impressed with the young Watch Officer Cottings and remarks upon her skills. Issue 2 Alexi crosses paths with Cottings on her way to an incident at a known Roaring Boys den in the Distillery District. Issue 3 Alexi has a squad of guards investigate an apartment, following Cottings's lead on the contraband operation. When the lead turns out to be an incendiary trap, she ceases the investigation, judging it too dangerous without Corvo's assistance.
