Biography[]

Frank Masters was born in Boston, Massachusetts on 8 August 1972, and he became an officer with the Boston Police Department. Originally a law-abiding policeman, he eventually agreed to become a paid enforcer for the Pushkin crime family of the Russian Mafia, working with its enforcer Nicolai Itchenko. In 2014, Itchenko had Masters and his colleagues Stephen Remar and Chris Pedersen help him with investigating the murders of Slavi Kosma and his four associates, and he had Masters accompany him as he killed the Irish Mob boss John Looney, causing Masters to protest that Itchenko was creating too mouch trouble in his neighborhood. Masters later helped Itchenko search the apartment of the vigilante Robert McCall, who killed Slavi and his associates.

With the help of his DIA colleague Susan Plummer, McCall discovered Masters' identity and tracked him down to his apartment, where he trapped him in his car in his garage and threatened to flood the car with carbon monoxide unless Masters helped him. Masters reluctantly aided him in shutting down Andri Yefremov's drug trafficking operation before complaining that McCall had ruined his life, as he did not expect to last a week now that he had turned on the Russians. He also protested that he had been a good cop. McCall told Masters to do the right thing now that he expected to die soon, and told him to do it for the good cops. He then had Masters give him access to a safe deposit box where he found Masters' passport and a memory stick with information about Pushkin's illegal activities, which he emailed to the FBI. Meanwhile, he left Masters handcuffed to the warehouse, and the police found loads of illicit cash in his trunk and arrested Masters for his corruption.
