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.

Bayman is obviously trying to play the "badass card" in DOA, and even though he doesn't say much, his fighting style mostly does his talking for him. His personality is still a bit "two-dimensional" (especially for being in a "3D" game), and his default outfit is on the generic side (and doesn't match), but at least he has some semi-cool alternate costumes. In a game filled with mostly busty females, Bayman appears to be one of the cooler designs of the DOA series. He has some pretty solid grappling moves, but he's still missing "something" as a fighting game character. Some of his mannerisms and win poses are sickeningly plain and/or silly-looking... especially the one where he does that cute little spin and then chops the air (was that animation originally meant to be for a female? lol.). And lastly, his facial rendering is embarrassingly generic... even in DOA4. How can you be a badass when you don't even have the slightest blemish on your face? lol.
