Biography[]
Background[]
Bain's life is apparently an mystery, except that he's a former cop. Bain is usually set up at some sort of headquarters away from the heist, though close enough that he can monitor it, proven during Panic Room after the explosion when he states "that blew the dust off the shelves even where I'm sitting!". In Diamond Heist and No Mercy, he states that he must circle around a bit before he can pick up the crew, which implies he is in the evacuation helicopter. Bain will also monitor the status of crew members and law enforcement personnel; while the exact method he uses is unknown, dialogue proves Bain listens to police dispatches. Also, Bain tends to call the gang "clowns".
The Diamond Heist[]
During the Diamond Heist, Bain personally assists the team by interrogating jewelry merchant Mr. Garnet, and later disposes him if he fails to cooperate by dropping him through the roof of the atrium; he then negotiates with Mr. Garnet for his son Ralph's life in exchange for unlocking the vault.
According to the dialog in Counterfeit and some assault-end quotes, Bain used to be a robber in combat just like the crew.
Missing[]
In update #168, Bain was captured by Kataru agents. As revealed in the Reservoir Dogs Heist during the Day 1 successful mission end dialogue, his safehouse is attacked, and the enemies breach the room Bain is in. His last words mention to trust Vernon Locke despite his alleged betrayal in Alaskan Deal. With his absence, Locke has replaced Bain's role as seen on Day 2 of Reservoir Dogs, Brooklyn Bank, and the later heists.
In Henry's Rock, a live-feed video can be seen near the escape point, displaying The Dentist standing near a restrained man whose face is covered by a bloodied bag. The person in question is most likely Bain given the circumstances.
The crew finally manages to track down Bain's location, Hell's Island, after several months which is revealed to be a disused World War II prison that has been taken over by Murkywater. Upon arrival they find themselves ambushed by the mercenaries who are also being led by the Dentist. They manage to free Bain from his cell and meet up with him but he passes out from his wounds that he obtained from prolonged torture. As the crew and Locke manage to get him to safety they discover that there is a manufactured virus inside of him, and he has a limited time left before it claims his life. This virus is discovered to be the same one the original PAYDAY gang had stole from years ago back in No Mercy.
Living on borrowed time, Bain instructs the crew to break into The White House under the guise of Murkywater mercenaries and steal the Presidential Pardons from the secret vault under the East Wing. Despite their success, Bain presumably succumbs to the virus as he seemingly dies in the middle of the post-mission debriefing, but not before expressing relief at the crew finally being safe and how proud he is of them. A funeral for Bain is held privately somewhere in Mexico, where the gang members pay tribute to him by leaving their masks in his grave, with the possible exception of Dallas.
If the secret is solved in The White House heist, Locke escorts Bain in a wheelchair to the underground vault to reunite with the crew one last time. However, The Dentist is also present and holds them at gunpoint, demanding the PAYDAY gang to be let in. Upon doing so, The Dentist is killed by the crew, saving their lives. Bain is then brought to the chamber where the gang initiates a ritual. As the light overpowers the area, he thanks the crew for all of their efforts before the heist ends.
In the Offshore Payday ending, it is strongly implied that Bain reincarnated into the 46th US President. President is heard giving a speech as the crew watches and ends it with Bain's familiar line "Let's Do This".
