PersonalityShank takes both her job and her tricked-out car very seriously (the one thing she cannot tolerate, is losing). Grizzled and experienced, Shank gives off a 'bad-girl' vibe. Underneath the surface, however, she is fun, warm and wise. She values her crew greatly and sees them as family.

Without hesitation, Shank orders Pyro to burn them alive. With the players defeated, Shank's crew, now free to be casual, inquire why they have to deal with players so harshly.
