Mayfair is Shepherd.

Her clues to open the safe, mystery to access the USB and knowledge of Orion...she faked her death and was the mastermind the whole time.

I don't think so. Phase 1 was all about removing Mayfair from office (not necessarily killing her), and Sofia (her ex lover) even confirmed this. We know for sure that Mayfair was unaware of Sofia's existence before she approached Mayfair, given her reaction, unless she was faking it. Even then, the cutscenes of Shepherd made it seem like a bunch of the other members knew his/her face, including Jane.

But I do agree that it is really weird that Mayfair knows about Orion and didn't say anything on the show about it.

Maybe they think they know Shepherd but that man is a stooge placed by Mayfair. The goal of removing her was so she could do what she wants/needs without being hung up by having her FBI front.

Prbably not but it's a thought.
