Biography

Paxton Rodriguez comes across the American Client after escaping from the German Surgeon. The American Client doesn't realize that Paxton is actually an escaped victim, and goes on a rant about how he tortures people as a substitute for sex because sex lost all meaning to him. He asks Paxton what methods he should use; though Paxton urges him to make the death quick, in an effort to spare the victims suffering, the client disregards this advice, deciding to "go old school" and kill his victim slowly. He then shows Paxton his Elite Hunting tattoo and demands he show him his, almost blowing Paxton's cover, but the client is called away by a guard who tells him that his session is ready. Paxton then tries to escape the facility, but is distracted when he hears someone screaming.

Paxton follows the screams and comes across the American Client torturing his friend Kana with a blowtorch. The American Client tells Paxton to get out, and Paxton shoots him dead using the German Surgeon's gun. He and Kana then escape the factory.
