Kane and Lynch - Introduction
All the information that follows was taken from the game’s booklet.

Name: Adam Marcus a.k.a Kane
Brief history: Kane’s son died at the age of two in an accident when he got hold of Kane’s police service gun. Kane’s wife blamed him for the death of their son and left him. He has not seen his daughter since she was five years old.
Years later Kane became a member of The7, the most powerful clan of Mercenaries in the world. A mission that went badly wrong led to the death of 25 Venezuelan citizens. Kane was the only survivor from the mercenary group and it is rumoured that he escaped with a vast amount of loot. Kane was arrested soon after his return to the USA. He was found guilty, sentenced to death and awaits transportation to death row.

Name: James Seth Lynch
Brief history: James Seth Lynch was found guilty of the murder of his wife and sentenced to death.
He was interviewed after he received the death sentence. Lynch remained calm throughout the interview, pointing out that he had only admitted his crimes in court on the advice of a lawyer and added that he was innocent. He presented himself as a perfect husband but when it was pointed out that this did not actually coincide with the crimes which he admitted having committed, he responded excitedly and forcefully that he had given everything to his wife “including the occasional beating”.
Lynch displays all of the common characteristics of schizophrenia.
