Biography
Frank Fontaine
Fontaine arrived in Rapture sometime in 1948 where he soon expanded his income by creating a smuggling ring to bring high demand, contraband items into Rapture.
Andrew Ryan at first observed Fontaine's rise to power as proof of the opportunity for determined men to better themselves, exactly the purpose for which Rapture was built. Even when Fontaine's empire began to compete with his own, he merely admonished Fontaine's detractors, who complained of ADAM's side effects, to "offer a better product". When Ryan discovered the criminal arm of Fontaine's enterprises, he saw Fontaine's smuggling operations as a serious threat to Rapture, as such activity might reveal the city's location to surface dwellers. Ryan instructed Security Chief Sullivan to put an end to the smuggling ring, employing increasingly severe measures to prove the connection to Fontaine.
After Ryan nationalized Fontaine Futuristics, Atlas was among those that protested against him in front of citizens.
Atlas came to act as a guide and ally to Jack in the unknown and alien city of Rapture. He explained to Jack the fallen utopia, ADAM, and the events that occurred after the 1958 New Year's Eve Riots. He would ask Jack to help him reach his family in a submarine hidden in the Smuggler's Hideout, a secret cave used by the smugglers before the Civil War and located below the foundation of Fontaine Fisheries in Neptune's Bounty. Atlas' plan was to escape the city once he was reunited with his family at the submarine.
After his death, several of his audio recordings came to be encountered by people. In one recording, Fontaine mused about Sofia Lamb's status in Rapture and her falling out with Andrew Ryan. In another recording, he reflected on his decision to adopt the guise of Atlas.
