History[]

Rust has been on the side of OVERKILL MC for a very long time; he is as ruthless and deadly as the bikers are told. He does what needs to be done, no problem. He's a badass who will do any job if he gets paid.

After the dissolution of the PAYDAY gang, Rust collected his bike from scratch, taking parts from motorcycle engines of members of the former group. After Rust packed a leather bag full of cash since his membership in the PAYDAY gang, he went into the desert looking for adventure, nothing more is known about him (secret, good ending).

In FBI Files[]

Tom Bishop, more commonly known as “Rust”, is a seasoned biker affiliated with the OVERKILL MC, who recently seems to have joined forces with the Clowns. Rust has a long history of violence and he’s notoriously known to be a ruthless bastard. We are currently investigating what made Rust suddenly shoot up a bar and kill his biker buddies. Scott Sagano is an OVERKILL biker whom we managed to arrest during the attack on the OVERKILL clubhouse, where many of the bikers were killed by Rust and the PAYDAY gang. Sagano has willingly offered to work with law enforcement in exchange for entry into a witness protection program. According to Sagano, the OVERKILL MC recently got their hands on some type of advanced weaponry that they are planning to transport on a freight train. If that somehow ties into Bain’s sudden interest in the bikers, then we can’t miss this opportunity to make our move. If they are really bold enough to rob a moving train, I’ll be damned if we don’t make them regret it.

Trivia[]

• Rust's overall design was inspired by many well-known biker-themed pop cultural figures and media.
• His biker design along with his choice of actor, Ron Perlman, is a possible reference to the American crime drama series Sons of Anarchy in which Perlman played Clay Morrow, a member of the main cast for the first five seasons and a recurring role in the sixth.
  • Also, during his teaser the bartender, John, was played by Andrew McPhee, who also appeared in Sons of Anarchy as Keith McGee, one of the original members of the Sons Of Anarchy MC. His character was killed by Perlman's in the third season for betraying the club.
    • His mask is referene to Hellboy.
    • Additionally, his clothing and choice of weapons also resembles a composite of Marvel comics characters Johnny Blaze and Daniel Ketch, better known as the second and third Ghost Riders, respectively, with the main draws being the former's original, non-spiked road leather outfit and the chain whip of the latter.
    • The handling of his signature Breaker 12G shotgun also took several cues from the titular character of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This is even lampshaded by Almir Listo himself in Rust's character spotlight video.
