Booker DeWitt

"Well... Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

- Booker DeWitt

Booker DeWitt is the protagonist of BioShock Infinite, whom the player controls throughout the game. He is an ex-Pinkerton agent who was disgraced for his use of extreme methods on the job. DeWitt is tasked with the job of finding Elizabeth and liberating her from the floating city of Columbia. Like in BioShock and BioShock 2, Booker will have extraordinary abilities at his disposal. Unlike the BioShock series' previous protagonist characters, he has his own identity. He interacts with the world in action, able to be heard vocally above the grunts and screams of previous protagonists of the series.

Booker is not one to care legal or not. Through his vocalization, the player understands his experience and ability to decide for himself over some character on the radio. As well as a Pinkerton agent, he was also a "strikebreaker." He is informed of Columbia's location by the same man who inquires him to retrieve Elizabeth. He hears explosions and gunfire in the distance upon arrival in the lost city.
