Tyler Rake

Tyler Rake is a former SASR solider turned mercenary who often specialized in extraction operations and assassinations.

Background
Tyler Rake was born and raised in Australia. At some point during his life, he joined the SASR before marrying and having a child.

Losing his son
While he was away on one of his tours in the military, Rake lost his son to lymphoma. The loss caused a schism between him and his wife, which eventually led to their divorce.

Life as a mercenary
After his son's death and his divorce with his wife, Rake left the military and became a freelance mercenary. At some point, he came across Nik Khan, who offered him a place on her team, and the two often would work together on missions and grew close.

Receiving a job
After returning from a camping trip, Rake was greeted by Nik Khan at his shed, where she informed him that they had "landed the whale." When Rake inquired, Khan explained that she had a high-risk, high-reward extraction job for him involving a drug lord's son in Dhaka. Rake expressed interest, initially believing he could work with his fellow mercenary Gaspar during the job, but Khan quickly noted that Gaspar was "out of the game." Rake accepted the job, but Khan warned him further that Amir Asif's influence within Dhaka would make the job "complicated," to which Rake said that it was always complicated. Realizing that Rake was suicidal and that he wanted to take the job hoping he would die during it, Khan claimed that going to him was "a mistake," and went to leave. Before she could leave however, Rake asked her why she was there, believing that she only asked him about the job because she knew no one else would accept it. Khan asked what his motives for taking the job were, to which Rake responded that he needed the money, and jokingly stated that chickens weren't cheap. Khan saw through Rake's attempt to mask his pain with humor, and revealed she knew he was suicidal and was only taking the job because he had nothing to lose. She told him to meet her in Fitzroy Crossing the next morning, and told him not to show up if he wasn't going to arrive sober. As Khan left, Rake inquired about his target's name, and she then informed him that his target's name was Ovi Mahajan, and told him to keep his "head on straight" before finally departing. Rake then walked to his door, where he sat in the door frame and watched as Khan's helicopter took off.
