History:
(NYX: No Way Home#1)
- Working for an unidentified power
player, the "Tattoo Man" filmed footage of Kiden Nixon as she worked at
the
Corner Cafe.
(NYX:
No Way Home#2) - As Kiden
argued with Bobby Soul about their survival, the "Tattoo Man" phoned his
boss to
tell him his job was done. His boss informed him that he was not yet
finished
and the "Tattoo Man" reminded his boss that he was only asking for
trouble.
Despite this, his boss told him to continue watching Kiden Nixon and
her
friends.
(NYX:
No Way Home#3 (fb) - BTS) -
As part of his boss' plan to test Kiden Nixon, the "Tattoo Man" helped
point the
blame of Cameron Palmer's kidnapping on Kiden, Bobby and Tatiana.
(NYX:
No Way Home#3) - After Kiden
and Bobby left a gunshot-wounded Tatiana Caban at a hospital, the "Tattoo Man"
watched them discuss what the next step in rescuing the kidnapped
Cameron
Palmer was. When Bobby phoned the number found by Tatiana in Cameron's
apartment, the "Tattoo Man" answered the phone and said "boo." He then
confronted
Bobby, Kiden and Lil' Bro at Empire State University, where he revealed
that he
had helped pin Cameron's kidnapped on Kiden, Bobby and Tatiana. He then
revealed that it was his job to push and groom people for their own
survival.
Briefly distracted by Lil' Bro's mental projection of a dragon and a
robot, he knocked out Kiden with his knife, prompting Bobby Soul to
taken
possession of the "Tattoo Man" and force him to kill himself with his own
knife.
(NYX:
No Way Home#4) – Kiden Nixon
used her powers to search the "Tattoo Man"'s body for clues to Cameron Palmer's location, finding
a card left
on his body by the "Sniper Chick."
