John Tull

John Tull, a character in the Most Wanted series, is the main antagonist of Book 1. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
John Tull has short black hair that has receded to a widow's peak, a black full beard, and blue eyes. He wears a sleeveless brown flannel shirt and sports on his upper left arm a tattoo of a skull with flames coming out of its eye sockets.

Personality
Tull was psychotic, vicious, and ruthless; he was a notorious hitman whose M.O. was a point blank shotgun blast to the gut. His only soft spot was for his daughter, Hayley, of whom he was overprotective as suggested by the shrine he constructed of her in his trailer. It consisted of photos encased in a giant heart painted with what was presumed to be blood. There was no limit to what Tull would do to protect his daughter; he went to prison for her after he was caught disposing of her boyfriend after she stabbed him to death with a broken bottle, and mercilessly hunted down anyone who threatened her reputation or career.

Additionally, he was perverted, evident by the sexual implications towards Samantha and lack of hesitation in handling Cassandra.

It can be inferred that Tull was methodical. He planned ahead his murderous excursion in L.A. by asking to be paid in bullets, guns, and explosives for one of the jobs he carried out for the Centurian Biker Gang, which he had all intentions of using before his death. He was messy, seen by looking at his trailer, and careless since he made no effort to conceal his identity during any of his crimes, instead being ostentatious.

Hayley Rose
Hayley is Tull's daughter. He'd do anything for her, including killing anyone who threatened her reputation or career. As a desperate and last attempt he tried to kill himself and Hayley in the plane.

Samantha Massey
Upon meeting Sam, Tull took an immediate liking to her as a result of her physique. Afterwards, upon each encounter he did not hesitate to make sexual implications towards her. This paired with the fact that he killed her mentor, Bill Holton, spurred a deep hatred in Sam for Tull and an unshakeable resolve to bring him to justice, something Tull was unphased by.

Fate
John Tull is killed during the final battle on Hayley's private jet. Tull activates a grenade and attempts to kill Sam and Dave, as well as himself and Hayley, as a last resort. Samantha however shoots the airplane door and Tull is sucked out by the pressure. He is blown apart in midair as the grenade in his hand detonates before it is thrown.
