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==
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 jailhouse tattoos on both his forearms and a scar on his chest and left cheek. He's crafted a shank that 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. In an attempt to become less recognizable to the authorities, he had multiple failed facial surgeriesDeco Devolution: The Art of BioShock 2, Citizen of Rapture section, pg 42: "Spliced - In an attempt to make himself less recognizable he has had multiple facial surgeries that have gone wrong leaving him disfigured and grotesque. In addition, to aid in his pugilist antics and any further need to escape from incarceration he has larger hands and forearms than usual, though it is hard to tell as they are covered in jailhouse tattoos." and skin grafts, leaving 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. To further aid in his criminal antics and avoiding further imprisonment, Louie spliced his hands and forearms slightly larger.
===New Year's Eve Models===
Two of the Splicers who attack Subject Delta in BioShock 2's intro use two variations of Louie McGraff's unspliced model. Both models are missing the chains around his ankles and the prison jumpsuit has now been changed to resemble the clothing of an average lower-class Rapture citizen. Both models have many needle marks on their arms and dark circles under their eyes to show signs of splicing. It is unclear if either of these models are meant to actually be Louie.
Model 1: The first model who is impaled on Subject Delta's drill wears brown trousers and a pale brown and orange checkered shirt. His trousers appear to be bloody and ripped on his right knee and left thigh, and there is a large blood smear down the right of his shirt. He also has several scratch marks on his face.
Model 2: The second model who fires electricity at Delta also wears brown pants but with a navy shirt. His clothing is noticeably cleaner than the other models. This model also has a clean cut on his chest, with no blood.

==Behind the Scenes==
*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".Dead Man Walking on Wikimedia
*Concept art for Louie reveals that he was originally going to be much older in-game, wearing a black and white striped shirt and pants with suspenders, and spiked black hair.Deco Devolution: The Art of BioShock 2, Weapons section, pg 139.
*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.
