GENERAL/STORY:
A former Russian commando who joins the DOA1 tournament to assassinate Fame Douglas, and later joins the DOA3 tournament to retaliate against Donovan for the attempt on his life by a sniper.

Bayman was born and raised in Russia. He aspired to join the military, and became one of Russia's highly-trained commandos. But before he saw any action, the Soviet Union collapsed. Realizing the new regime would have no use for him, Bayman slipped through the cracks of the reformation. He took up the life of a mercenary, putting his skills to good use in all manner of lethal assignments. He found particular pleasure in assassinations, especially challenging or high-profile assignments.

His dream assignment came to him. Bayman entered into the first "Dead or Alive World Tournament" with the objective of assassinating its organizer, the renowned Fame Douglas, chairman of DOATEC. His task completed, Bayman fled, now branded an outlaw.

When the next tournament was announced, Bayman caught word of one of the entrants; an Italian mercenary named Leon. Bayman risked capture to enter the tournament again, hoping to find and challenge his old acquaintance.

ORIGIN:
Dead or Alive

OTHER APPEARANCES:
DOA2: Hardcore, Dead or Alive 3, Dead or Alive 4

REVIEW:
His brutal fighting style along with his calm/cool presence makes for a  pretty badass dude... But he's lacking a certain "charisma" that many other fighting game characters have. His personality is still a bit 2-dimensional for being in a 3D game, and his outfit is on the plain side.
