INFORMATION
Max Payne 1 (voiced by James McCaffrey) is a fugitive DEA
agent and former NYPD detective whose wife Michelle and newborn daughter were
killed in connection with the Valkyr drug case. Max then goes undercover in the
mob, and eventually becomes a one-man-army vigilante waging a personal war on
crime (and in particular, those criminals responsible for his family’s death).
Max ends up killing hundreds of gangsters and conspiracy enforcers while on the
run from the police determined on stopping his vendetta against all those
responsible for his family’s death. He uses metaphors and wordplay to describe
the world around him within his inner monologues, which often contradict his external
responses to characters he speaks with. The first game presents the story as
retold by Max from his point of view.
Characters
Mona Sax (voiced by Julia Murney): The twin sister of Lisa
Punchinello and a contract killer, Mona is the femme fatale of the game. She
has a grudge against her sister Lisa’s abusive husband, Mafia boss Angelo
Punchinello, whom she desires to kill. After Puchinello is killed, she sides
with Nicole Horne who hires her to kill Max. Finding herself unable to do so,
she is shot in the head by Horne’s henchmen and collapses into an elevator. She
reappears in the sequel as a playable character.
Nicole Horne (voiced by Jane Gennaro): The game’s main
antagonist who led a secret military program code-named Valhalla. She had
Michelle Payne killed after she viewed a document that shows that Horne is
still producing the Valkyr drug despite the fact that the project was
suspended. Horne commands a well-armed private army of hitmen and mercenaries.
She is killed by Max at the end of the game.
Alfred Woden (voiced by John Randolph Jones): For most of
the game he remains a mysterious unseen character, only interacting with Max
through phone calls where he either warns him of a coming threat or provides
information. Towards the end of the game he meets Max face-to-face and
introduces him to an Illuminati-like society known as the Inner Circle. Woden
tells Payne that Horne is his real enemy and expresses his wishes for Payne to
get rid of her. He is seemingly gunned down by Horne’s men while in a meeting
with Max, but is later seen on a security terminal getting up off the ground
and leaving his dead comrades. He reappears in the sequel as a U.S. senator.
Don Angelo Punchinello (voiced by Joe Ragno): An Italian mob
boss who distributes Valkyr and become involved in a gang war against the
Russians. He remains the main villain throughout most of the game until it was
discovered that he was being controlled by Horne. He is later killed by her
before he can give Max too much information.
Vinnie Gognitti (voiced by Joe Dallo): A high-strung mobster
working for Lupino who is terrified that his boss will kill him due to Lupino’s
Valkyr-induced psychosis. Max confronts him to discover where he can find
Lupino, but this encounter results in Payne shooting Gognitti in the gut and
then pursuing him through the city’s buildings and rooftops. When Max catches
up with him he forces the information out of Gognitti and leaves him bleeding
in an alley (in the 1998 trailer Vinnie was shown being summarily executed by Payne
in a cut scene, but this was changed later along with an other tweaks to the
story). He reappears in the sequel as a Mafia underboss.
Vladimir Lem (voiced by Dominic Hawksley): A Russian mob
boss and prominent gunrunner currently in a war against Angelo Punchinello. He
teams up with Max providing him with weapons in one part of the game and
occasionally chauffering him around to key locations. He reappears in the
sequel as a charismatic restauranteer who maintains his shady connections in
organized crime. He is portrayed by Marko Saaresto of Poets of the Fall (a
friend of the game’s writer Sam Lake). The band also wrote the main theme,
“Late Goodbye”, for Max Payne 2.
Jack Lupino (voiced by Jeff Gurner): A Mafia underboss and
an occultist, who oversees Valkyr distribution for the Punchinello crime
syndicate. He has been driven crazy by his Valkyr addiction and has become a
Satanist, obsessed with making a Faustian pact with the Devil (he also owns
Necronomicon, a fictional book from the Cthulhu Mythos and Cthulhu is one of
the deities he worships). When Max confronts him he is the middle of a Satanic
prayer; a gun fight ensues and Lupino is killed by Payne.
B.B. Hensley (voiced by Adam Grupper): A corrupt DEA agent
and a supposed friend of Max. Receiving pay outs from Horne, he radios Max
telling him to meet agent Alex Balder at the train station and then shoots
Balder dead, framing Max for his murder. Towards the end of the game he meets
Max and is revealed as a traitor working for Horne. Payne kills him in a gun
fight.
Deputy Chief Jim Bravura (voiced by Peter Appel): A
high-ranking NYPD officer who is pursuing Max for most of the game and is not
deterred in arresting him, even though the TV commentators don’t see the
violence as a bad thing because mobsters are the only victims. At the end he
finally arrests Max, but in the game’s sequel he becomes Max’s boss.
Michelle Payne (voiced by Haviland Morris): Working for the
district attorney’s office, Michelle came across a file that incriminated
Horne, which later led to her murder and the killing of her child by Valkyr
junkies sent to her home. She repeatedly appears through the game in flashback
and nightmare sequences.
