Max Payne

Max Payne ( AKA Max, Max Jobber, Max Paynis, Payne in the Butt and Mr Rhetorical Question) is the main character from the eponymous franchise and a prominent wrestler in TFR.

A Bit Closer to Heaven
Max Payne, once an high ranking cop, transferred after having his family brutally murdered by junkies.

Season 1
Now, Payne has been sent on an undercover mission to TFR to find out who has really killed his family. As such, he's an independent wrestler that sides with neither Team NWF and Team FMS. He has grown a reputation of enduring long battles and losing near the end of it, something that has taken a toll on his sanity.

Episode 1
Was assaulted by Agent 47.

Episode 2
Attacked again by 47 and clinging to dear life.

Episode 3
Brutally attacked by 47 in the middle of his entrance with a sledge hammer and considered dead.

After being assaulted by AK47 at the start of a match, Payne suffered grave damage and was considered dead. He would reappear later as a last confrontation with 47, but some say he was already dead, a hollow husk seeking vengeance. He finally met his end in season 2 after 47 assassinated him in the ring during a last man standing match.

Episode 7
It turns out, Payne wasn't really killed by 47, but was merely pretending to fill out the contract and was having a vacation in brazil. In reality, they are good friends, and their real objective is Battler Ushiromiya.

Episode 8.5
In some alleyway, a battered Man and an Assassin lay down, defeated once again. They failed another contract to defeat their target. How could we fail? We are the best Assassin and Vigilante, forming a Tag Team group. That should cover all of each other's weaknesses. It's all the fault of that bloody haired Japanese man, we should have been able to kill him and fulfill our contract. Weren't we good enough? We always terminated our targets up until this point. Maybe this isn't our thing anymore. But what do we do then? Nowhere to go... I... don't know. Another contract, if we can pull another job we should be back in the game, and we won't fail next time. Yeah...

Episode 7
In reality, 47 merely pretended to murder him to fulfill that contract, Payne merely took a few weeks of vacations to Brazil and redid his looks, and now he's back to beat Battler along with 47.

The cause of this is that he once cornered 47 during a police investigation, and he offered Payne a chance to meet the murderers of his family and enact revenge. Ever since they have been friends, and when his contract told him to kill his best friend, he simply couldn't do it.

Season 3
During the Time Merge, Payne recovered his hair.

Episode 7
Max decided to enter "Battler's" room to teach him a lesson to about beating his friend 47, but it seems it was actually a trap for him set by "Battler" and now he's missing.

Episode 10
In reality, it was all part of 47's plan, so he could attack the wrestlers backstage while pretending to be dead and claim it was Black Battler.
