Frank Mathers[1][note 1] is another leader of the Hamlin Battalion. An antagonist in Time Crisis 4, he appears in Chapter 7 of the "Full Mission" and is exclusively encountered by Captain William Rush on its console port.

Appearance[]

Frank has buzz cut blonde hair and green eyes. He is the younger brother of Jack Mathers and looks similar to him, being very muscular and having brutish pig-like features along with pointed ears.

Frank wears a green polo shirt with the logo of the Hamlin Battalion on the back, half-pants of regular Hamlin Battalion soldiers design with a black utility belt around his waist. Said utility belt is attached to his upper body by suspenders. He also wears a eye patch on his left eye, a green lieutenant hat and green gloves. As for equipment, there are numerous case boxes on his utility belt and there is a case box on his left thigh. There is a power pack attached to his right thigh which provides power to his railgun. He wears high tech acceleration device boots which allows him to move at several times his normal speed and increases his jump height but at the expense of consuming large amounts of energy (making it unsuitable for practical use by the military), limiting their usage to short periods of time and requiring to charge them once depleted, leaving Frank vulnerable while doing so. He has a device which prevents the Terror Bites from attacking him on his neck. As for weapons, he is armed with a railgun which is much more powerful than a standard firearm; and uses mosquito Terror Bites.

Overview[]

Frank led a group of soldiers occupying Dam #18 in California, United States, as part as a decoy operation to conceal the primary mission, which involved stealing the Terror Bites from the Biological Weapon Research Facility in Wyoming. Rush eventually ran into Frank in the power facility of the dam, where Frank told him of the Hamlin Battalion's reasons for betraying the United States (which included an apparent lack of appreciation and recognition for their dangerous work). When Rush said that the Hamlin Battalion is stealing Terror Bites for the purpose of making money, Frank counters by telling him that he is not comparable to the backstabbing traitor (Marcus Black). Soon after, Frank engages Rush in battle. Despite Frank's effective usage of his acceleration device, his railgun, infantry soldiers, and Terror Bites, he was gunned down, prompting him to trigger an explosion to destroy the dam and dies during the destruction.
