“Fontaine didn't bring me down here for my skills as a stevedore… he needed guys who could keep their mouth shut.”

― Louie McGraff

Louie McGraff (often referred to as the Jailbird) is a playable character in BioShock 2 Multiplayer, available to those who have purchased the Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack downloadable content along with Oscar Calraca. Louie was the tenth and final character to be revealed in the Cult of Rapture's Faces of Rapture's Civil War.

"Louie McGraff likes to hurt people. And he's good at it. He's been doing it for as long as he can remember. But causing physical pain isn't the only criminal activity he excels at. Among other things, he's also a highly competent bamboozler and smuggler, which is how he got himself into Rapture. Before being apprehended and incarcerated in a temporary brig, Louie "worked" the fisheries as a stevedore -- a job that provided many opportunities to exercise his natural talents."

Story

Before Splicing.

A former smuggler working for Frank Fontaine, Louie was arrested and sentenced to Persephone for his crimes, where he stayed for at least six months. During one night, another convict, and potentially friend, named Knuckles disappears from his cell. Later on, Louie witnesses several scientists carrying a Big Daddy suit. Then, he hears screaming the likes of which he could not comprehend, which he determines was from Knuckles. Louie eventually strikes a deal with Augustus Sinclair, who promises to let Louie out if he participates in the Sinclair Solutions field trial. After being freed, Louie encounters a Big Daddy whom he believes is Knuckles, recognizing him by his gimpy walk.

Appearance

Before Splicing

Although Louie claims to have been freed by Sinclair, his attire suggests otherwise. Though he's up and out of his cell in Persephone, he still wears a black and white striped prison jumpsuit, brown boots, and two cuffs around his ankles, the chain between them broken. His black hair is combed neatly to the side and he has a bit of stubble growing on his hardened face. He sports tattoos on both his forearms and a scar on his chest and left cheek. He's crafted a shank which can be used as his personal melee weapon.

After Splicing

Being a product tester in the Home Consumer Rewards Program has proven to be just as detrimental to Louie as being a Persephone jailbird. His jumpsuit, once clean and pristine, is now dingy, discolored, and torn around the left side of his waist, his right sleeve, and left leg. Inexplicably, the black stripes on his jumpsuit have turned blue. Multiple facial surgeries and skin grafts have left him horribly scarred all over his body. His face is contorted, sagging, and ghoulish, while a large scar on his chest has been stapled shut. His hair is greasy and unkempt, with the sides now turning grey.

Behind the Scenes

Louie's model in the games intro, with some minor deformities.

• The two male splicers who attacked Subject Delta on New Year's Eve use the same character model as Louie's un-spliced model. Some details have been altered, such as the outfit's color, so that it gives the appearance of two normal men rather than that of a convict. The Splicers seen in BioShock 2's intro also show some side effects of ADAM usage.
• Louie's quote "Dead Tin Walkin'" seems to be a reference to the phrase "Dead Man Walking" which was once traditional in American prisons, prior to the 1960s, to designate a man condemned to death. Prison wardens escorting a prisoner around the jail would call out "Dead Man Walking, Here."
• A girl named Shirley is mentioned in one of Louie's quotes ("Alright Shirley, come 'ere!") when he picks up a Little Sister. Which is a reference to the 1930-60's child star: Shirley Temple.
