Brief Character History
John McBain arrived in Llanview in October 2003. An FBI agent, posing as a billiard scout for crime lord Flynn Laurence, McBain used Natalie Buchanan and her fiance Cristian Vega to get the goods on the crime lord. The way to do that was use Natalie's new found skills as a billards champion. Unfortunately, Natalie defied John's orders to throw the game for Flynn and as a result she was kidnapped by Flynn. Although Cris and John were able to rescue Natalie, Cris lost his life in the attempt. At first angry at John's indirect role in Cris's death, Natalie soon developed a friendship with him.
Very soon after, John decided to leave to FBI and began working for the Llanview PD, investigating a serial killer. What made John the perfect man to investigate this case was the fact that he was very familiar with this killer, dubbed The music Box Killer, having investigated him years earlier. Although John had not been able to catch the killer then, he taunted him so sufficiently that the murderer targeted John's lover, Caitlin Fitzgerald. This time, however, John was able to make Dr. Stephen Haver pay the piper for his crimes.
After bringing down Haver, John got closer to Natalie, whom he soon realized he had feelings for. But soon his time was taken up with the arrival of Caitlin's sister Kathryn, who had also been an FBI agent. She confessed to John that she had always cared for him, but John didn't feel the same way, so the feelings went nowhere. After tying Paul Cramer to the Santi family crime family, Kathryn was soon out of the picture when she was found murdered in Evangeline Williamson's office. After another of Evangeline's clients was found murdered, she and John began working on the mystery together, which soon brought them closer together.
As Evangeline and John grew closer, the reappearance of Cristian Vega only served to remind John that he still cared about Natalie. Convinced that Cristian was an imposter, he investigated him thoroughly, and it wasn't long before he was able to arrest Cristian for Tico Santi's murder. John received a shock when DNA tests came in proving that the man was no imposter and was in fact the real Cristian Vega, but Cristian begged John to keep it secret, not wanting Natalie and his family to realize what he had become. He kept the secret and continued his relationship with Evangeline, but his feelings toward Natalie remained strong.
