History WMG / PAYDAY2

That explains the endless waves of cops, and how none of the crew ever die. They're already dead. They died a long time ago, and they are now living in Valhalla, where they will fight until the end of the world.

!!The game takes place in Valhalla!!

** Confirmed. She's an acquaintance of Hoxton's.

* The Elephant has Election Day, Vlad has the Xmas Heist, and Bain has countless solo missions in terms of contracts released after the game was released. Now it'll be Hector's turn.

* I could believe it. Let's see...Chains met up with John Wick before, Dallas worked with the Dentist to bring back Hoxton, Hoxton was Clover's mentor...everyone in the original gang except Wolf has introduced someone to the crew. Maybe he's next up on the list after all! Or he hasn't introduced anybody because he's a [[IncrediblyLamePun lone Wolf...]]get it? Either way, if Wolf does introduce somebody, who could it be?

* At the very end, after Clover narrates the diamond's history, we see Dallas reflected in a glass case reaching for the diamond itself. We suddenly hear a single silenced gunshot and a bit of blood splatters on the display case. As none of the guards use silenced weapons, it had to be one of the other heisters, and none of them have any reason to attack Dallas so far (except Hoxton, but he would've done it already). Clover likely thought to pull a stunt like she did with Hoxton originally, shooting Dallas and making off with the diamond herself. Given [[MadeOfIron who]] [[TheDeterminator Dallas]] [[TheHero is]] this probably won't end well for her... [[ArtifactOfAttraction which fits with]] [[ArtifactOfDeath the Diamond's]] tale perfectly.

Clover's a nice lead in to introducing The Butcher.

* ''Bain'', for the same possible reasons as Dallas. Bain knows literally everything about the Payday crew, sets up their jobs, and most importantly, ''always has a backup plan''. The idea that he would put the crew into a situation where they would ultimately be forced to leave one of their own behind because there was no backup plan makes it seem likely that Bain planned it that way, for some unknown reason. He sounds pretty enthusiastic about breaking Hoxton out, but maybe that's only because he knows that Hoxton will never trace it back to him.

** Seems unlikely, given Old!Hoxton says that [[spoiler: the FBI has data on all the heisters]] and the Dentist actually approached Dallas with the idea of breaking Old!Hoxton out. Also, Dallas can still put up with Wolf.

!!The person who betrayed Old Hoxton [[spoiler: and the rest of the crew]] is...

** While there have been times Bain has struggled to come up with a backup plan, it's also possible this is part of a long-term scheme of his and [[spoiler: the informant's DNA is fake]]. Also notable is the fact that while he freaks out about going loud on Firestarter Day 2, he doesn't on Breakout Day 2 despite the MUCH higher profile of what the Crew is doing, as if that's what he expected them to do.

* Alex, the pilot from ''PaydayTheHeist.'' Easily the most abused person in the game for his repeated mission-complicating bungling [[ObfuscatingStupidity (Or is it...)]] his reputation for screwing up is so big Bane still refers to it in Payday 2. He also never directly participates in heists, usually just showing up to move things around, but has enough contact with the crew to know who they are, or at least a lot of DNA evidence in his helicopter. He's close enough to the crew to know them, he's trusted enough to not be immediately suspicious, he hasn't committed enough crimes to be facing a massive sentence, and with the arrival of the much-more-reliable Bile as helicopter pilot he's probably feeling threatened as well. He has all the motivation to sell out Hoxton in exchange for his own safety [[spoiler: and turn informant on the rest of the crew while still 'working' for them]]. Also telling is how [[spoiler: in the only two missions where he shows up in Payday 2, Big Oil Day 2 and Rats Day 3, suspicious things occur, such as the usually-failed ammunition drops and the cops' unusually rapid response time to an isolated area in Big Oil Day 2 and the armed gangsters with a bus full of explosives on Rats Day 3. Both seem like ambushes.]]

* It will be Ilija the sniper. He has gotten more friendlier with each heist to be release, and he may be asking for his own mask, which could make him effectively one with the crew, and thus, a playable character.

* The Elephant is rather ruthless when it comes to eliminating the competition against his political goals, and he appears to be above cutting loose ends himself to ensure no possible issues will come that could threaten his reputation. Not to mention, Bain constantly fears that this will happen to them.
