Ed Farrugia
When Travis was approximately ten years old, Ed Farrugia was the mayor of his town. As mayor, Ed took cost-cutting backroom deals to line his pockets. He failed to replace aging lead pipes, which poisoned the town's water supply for years, and caused the deaths of three people, including Travis's brother. His brother's death destroyed his family and for years, Travis dreamed about how he would make Ed pay.

Years later, Travis has become now-Senator Farrugia's aide, building a professional relationship and one where Ed trusts him to handle his affairs. As you discover while Ed is taking phone calls in the team's office, Ed is not all he appears to be. Travis explains that while Ed's voting record is progressive, it only appears that way because he waits until the last second before voting on a bill that looks like it will pass. That way his success rate is high and he looks like the hero who pushed it over the line. If you call Ed a typical "politician", Travis says that while there are some politicians trying to do real good and make real change, Ed is not one of them. Travis tells you that he doesn't have to respect him to be a good assistant, and that working for him is a "means to an end" for him.

Your Character
You first meet Travis at Mass Kenmore when you go to try to "steal" one of their patients and convince Senator Farrugia to switch to Edenbrook Hospital instead. If you are honest and tell the senator that you're not a doctor at Mass Kenmore, Travis wants to alert security but the senator stops him.

In Chapter 10, you discover that he has been slowly poisoning the Senator as revenge for his brother's death. When confronted, Travis openly confesses to the attempted murder but before Bobby can subdue him, Travis whips out a black canister. He knows he will go to jail if he leaves, so he tells you that he would rather die and take Ed with him.

If you try to reason with him and talk him down, Travis still remains angry and in pain, wanting revenge against Ed. When Bobby reaches for him, Travis sprays Bobby with a blast from the canister. Instinctively, Danny tries to help Bobby but when you take a step to help Bobby as well, Travis raises the canister. Rafael tackles Travis and tries to grab the canister but Travis deploys the canister on both of them. They receive the brunt of it, but droplets land on Danny and you as well.

Ethan Ramsey
In Chapter 11, he is taken into FBI custody. In a premium scene, Sienna believes Ed can help Ethan locate him and interrogate him about the contents of the canister. If Sienna chooses to make a deal with Ed, Ethan goes to question Travis. Travis tells Ethan that he does not know what was in the canister; he knows it is a biological weapon and all he had was an account number from the supplier. He is still angry and blames you for not allowing Ed to die of lead poisoning. Ethan can reason with him that even if Ed is a monster, Ed got away and it is you as well as other innocent people who are now victims of his attack. For a brief moment, Travis appears remorseful about what he did to you and the others, but he still wishes he was taking Ed with him. He dies shortly afterwards.
