Banks wants out of his life-long contract to his vengeful supervisor(Agent K) and must convince Carl Jones (a poker king) to use his skills to help him get out. Banks regrets having followed Agent K's orders to create a tracker(which was later surgically implanted in Carl's chest). On the surface Banks comes off as cool, calm and collected but a goofy flare. But he has his quirks: He hates the sight of blood, but enjoys creating weapons. Putting them together is purely therapeutic for him. His technique is to create weapons that don't kill but rather focuses on creating weapons that temporarily disable subjects. He really has a talent for designing "bankable" gadgets the CIA can use for various hard to pull off tasks. Hence why he is called Banks, because he creates weapons, software and gadgets that become hot commodities that secret government officials would love to purchase. Banks' true desire is to spend the rest of his life living off the grid in a cabin by the sea with the woman of his dreams, where he can grow his own produce and live happily ever after.
