Tyler Rake

Tyler Rake is the protagonist in the movies Extraction and Extraction 2. He is portrayed by Chris Hemsworth.

Biography
Tyler Rake is from Australia. He is a former Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) operator turned mercenary who often specialized in extraction operations and assassinations.

He was married and had a child. 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.

After his son's death and his divorce with his wife, Rake left the military and became a freelance mercenary and contract killer. At some point, he came across Nik Khan, who offered him a place on her team, and the two would often work together on missions and grew close. Along the way, he also met Gaspar, and the two became good friends, with Rake saving Gaspar's life at one point.

Receiving a job
After returning from a camping trip with Rata and Koen in the Kimberly, Rake was greeted by Nik Khan at his shed, where she informed him that they "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 that she'd meet him 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.

Rescuing his target
"Listen, you boys seem like real busy professionals, so let's say we cut this sh*t and we get down to business, yeah?"

- Tyler Rake to Kalam

Nik Khan and her team contacted Kalam, a member of Amir Asif's criminal organization, in order to pay the ransom. In order to find Mahajan, Rake went to meet them under the guise that he was going to pau the ransom. Before he could react, a van pulled up behind him and he was forced into it and blindfolded. Rake was taken to the building where they held Mahajan captive, and he asked for proof that Mahajan is alive. While being escorted out of the building, Gaetan sniped a mercenary in the head, and Rake used the distraction to overpower and choke the other mercenary to death. Rake returned with an AK-47 and killed everyone using a combination of his marksmanship and skill in close-quarters combat, and managed to successfully rescue Mahajan.

Failed extraction
After Rake successfully rescued Mahajan, they headed towards the extraction point where Thiago was waiting with a boat. However, Saju Rav snuck onto the boat and killed everyone one board, and later flanked Gaetan and killed him too. Nik Khan realized that her team members had been killed, and quickly warned Rake that he wasn't alone, and that they had been set up. Then the corrupt Bangladeshi police officers, indirectly working for Amir Asif under the Colonel, pursued Rake and Mahajan. Rake fled with Mahajan and fought off several corrupt officers, as well as Rav himself. However, all the fighting and combat left Rake exhausted and injured, so Rake and Mahajan intentionally crashed a truck they were driving in order to try and fool their pursuers into believing they were dead, although this didn't fool Asif.
