Migs Mayfeld

**Migs Mayfeld**, known as **Inmate 34667** while incarcerated, was a human male mercenary who was a former sharpshooter in the Imperial Army. During the time of the New Republic, Mayfeld was recruited by the criminal Ranzar Malk to lead a team to rescue the prisoner Qin from *Bothan-Five*, a New Republic Correctional Transport. Malk, Mayfeld, and the team intended to betray the Mandalorian Din Djarin, who had also been hired for use of his ship, the *Razor Crest*.

During the mission, Mayfeld led the team aboard the prison ship and entered the control room, encountering a New Republic soldier named Lant Davan at the controls. After Davan was killed, the team reached Qin's cell, before they betrayed Djarin by trapping him in the cell. However, Mayfeld and his allies were defeated by Djarin after he escaped the cell, proceeding to deliver Qin to Malk alone. Mayfeld was later sentenced to 50 years of service at the Karthon Chop Fields for his involvement in the mission. Djarin later sought him out for assistance in tracking down Moff Gideon's ship, a mission which took them to an Imperial remnant refinery on Morak. While there, Mayfeld killed his former superior Valin Hess and caused heavy damage to a substantial section of the refinery. He was subsequently set free by New Republic Marshal Carasynthia Dune.

## History

### Recruitment

Following his apprehension for freeing Qin and playing a role in the death of Lant Davan, Mayfeld's profile was added to a New Republic prison registry, and he was sentenced to 50 years of service at the Karthon Chop Fields for his involvement in freeing Qin and murdering Davan. There, he was designated "Inmate 34667" and was made to help scrap old Imperial technology. Djarin later inquired about Mayfeld's whereabouts through the New Republic marshal Cara Dune. After briefly going through Mayfeld's arrest details on the registry, Dune asked the reason for his interest, to which Djarin revealed his intent to spring Mayfeld from prison in the hopes of tracking down Moff Gideon's light cruiser.

Djarin, Dune, and their allies traveled to the Karthon Chop Fields to retrieve Mayfeld. Dune had a security droid approach the mercenary, disturbing the him from his work on a TIE fighter wreckage and ordering him to descend and receive new instructions. The droid then ordered him to salute to Dune as she arrived to take the mercenary away, Mayfeld's ankle security brace deactivating simultaneously.

Confused as to where he was being taken, Mayfeld was made to follow the marshal to the *Firespray*-31-class patrol and attack craft *Slave I* while questioned what was happening. The Mandalorian Boba Fett and assassin Fennec Shand exited *Slave I*, and mercenary briefly thought that Fett had been Djarin. Djarin himself then came out of the attack craft, and the mercenary nervously greeted him. Dune revealed that they needed him as he had been affiliated with the Empire, Djarin specifying that Mayfeld's experience with Imperial clearances and protocols were of use to the group.

### Mission to Morak

Mayfeld was brought onboard *Slave I* to help Dune, along with Djarin, Boba Fett, and Fennec Shand, locate Moff Gideon's cruiser. Needing an internal Imperial terminal to access its coordinates, he revealed that there was a terminal in a secret Imperial mining hub on the planet Morak, where a group of Imperial remnants operated. There, Mayfeld and Djarin commandeered a HCVw A9.2 juggernaut transport designated Juggernaut Five that was carrying rhydonium and disguised themselves as Juggernaut Pilots. When the other juggernauts were destroyed by pirates, Djarin fended them off while Mayfeld was driving.

Upon arriving at the refinery, they were hailed as heroes, being the only transport to successfully deliver the rhydonium. Mayfeld went to the officers mess hall to access the terminal and promptly exited, telling Djarin he cannot complete the mission, as his former commanding officer Valin Hess was inside. After Djarin went to the terminal in his place and was questioned by Hess, Mayfeld stepped in to cover for him, at the risk of Hess recognizing him.

Hess invited them both for a drink to congratulate their success on the transport delivery. While talking, Mayfeld became increasingly agitated with how willing Hess was to throw away lives, referencing Operation: Cinder and the atrocities committed on Burnin Konn. When Hess made a toast to the Empire. Mayfeld shot him, against Djarin's judgement. Djarin and Mayfeld escaped to the roof, where Fett picked them up in *Slave I*. As they flew away, Mayfeld asked Djarin to hand him a cycler rifle. Mayfeld then used it to ignite the rhydonium on the juggernaut they had commandeered earlier, destroying the juggernaught and causing significant damage to the refinery, telling Djarin that it would help him sleep at night. Once they were in the clear, they rendezvoused with Dune and Shand. Mayfeld prepared to be taken back to the shipyards as a prisoner, but Dune commented on the unfortunate "death" of Mayfeld in the refinery explosion, telling him that he could walk free on Morak.

## Personality and traits

A human male, Migs Mayfeld was bald and had a red hair beard, light skin, and blue eyes. As the smart-mouthed leader of Malk's crew, he was serious about his work but was also prone to being condescending towards Din Djarin and joking around him, at one point suggesting that Djarin was a Gungan after the Mandalorian did not remove his helmet. Mayfeld also admitted that he did not have the temperament or patience to take care of pets when observing the infant aboard the *Razor Crest*. After witnessing Operation Cinder, Mayfeld became cynical of any form of galactic leadership, specifically the New Republic, feeling that no matter who was in charge, no politician ever cared for the poor and the disenfranchised. Mayfeld saw the plight of the people of Morak as an example of people being abandoned by the new "benevolent" government.
