TK's Bodyguard

TK's Associate is a man working alongside TK during his attempted heist of the Casino vaults in Fortune City. He only appears in cutscenes and can be faintly seen during the fight with TK's Helicopter.

Dead Rising 2
Feeling that he deserved a little more money, TK staged a massive operation using the Mercenaries employed by Phenotrans to help him drill into the vaults for the Americana, Slot Ranch, Yucatan, and Atlantica Casinos. The equipment for this operation is moved via the Underground Tunnels by train and each operation is performed at the same time.

After Chuck Greene learns of the heist, he destroys each drill while eliminating the occupying mercenaries along the way. After taking out the drills at Americana, Slot Ranch and Yucatan, he discovers from a message that a large armored van is breaking its way into a wall beside the Atlantica casino for one last attempt at money. Chuck arrives and kills each Mercenary, prompting TK to appear on the roof to check on the progress. TK's Associate stands beside him, looking on as he becomes infuriated with the mess that's falling before him...yet he decides to continue on despite this setback, smacking his associate over the head as he walks walks off.

Later when Chuck learns of an attempted escape via helicopter at the Fortune City Hotel rooftop, TK's Associate is seen once again loading what's left of the money into the helicopter...dropping a case while working on it. TK turns around to scold him, calling him a fool while warning him to be careful with what's left of their money. It's then that his associate spots Chuck and points him out. TK notices Chuck, suddenly becoming worried about his plans and orders for them to take off...with TK sitting in the passenger seat while his associate sits in the back, next to a mounted minigun. Chuck runs quickly towards the chopper with a hook attached to a crane and lands it on the landing bars of the chopper, forcing it to stay on the rooftop tangled by the hook.

TK's fury makes him decide to kill Chuck, by having his associate fire the minigun at him. Chuck dodges the fire, which is fired in about 10 to 20 shots a burst (though accurate enough to prevent most dodging, unless done by a roll or leap). Eventually Chuck manages to destroy the helicopters blades, which causes it to spin out of control...first throwing TK from the chopper (and forcing him to land on his back, injuring himself)...then the chopper itself crashes on the helipad. The impact instantly kills the associate as well as the pilot, while throwing TK himself off to the side from the explosion (leaving him alive but unconsious).

Trivia

 * While having a similar appearance to one set of Mercenaries seen in the Fortune City Hotel lobby, there are some distinctive differences in his facial structure as well as his overall suit to set him apart from them.
