Biography[]
Dr. May Updale was a psychologist that, along with Chief of Staff, Arlo Sabian, conducted a social experiment on Staten Island where for a 12-hour period, all crime is legal, for residents to release their inhibitions. All participants in the experiment would receive $5,000. Unbeknownst to her, Arlo was actually ordered by the NFFA to conduct a test run on The Purge, which the NFFA were planning on using for population control.
When Arlo noticed that there was not as much chaos as he had originally been expecting, Dr. Updale told him that science was unpredictable. Arlo then secretly called in mercenaries to kill participants of The Purge.
After noticing the steep increase in gun violence and murder, Dr. Updale searched for the source of all the troopers after realising that they were not actually participants of The Purge. When she realised that the troopers were actually from the government, Arlo reveals to her about the truth of the NFFA.
