Dallas

Nathan Steele, better known as Dallas, is a 54-year-old chain-smoking American Mastermind. He wears a mask with the American flag during heists

Dallas appears to also have an official occupation while not being a criminal, where he uses the name "Nathan Steele". In PAYDAY: The Web Series, he was the bank manager of the First World Bank, which allowed the crew to rob with his inside help. In the PAYDAY 2: The Dentist Trailer, he claims to be in "financial transfers". Whether or not this is a euphemism for his career as a bank robber or he is a real, professional financial consultant remains to be seen. Since he managed to attain the position of manager in a major bank, which would require him to know a lot about financing, Dallas may be a legitimate consultant.

By the time of PAYDAY 2, Dallas was revealed to have a younger brother, who briefly took up the mantle of Hoxton when Hoxton was arrested by the police.

Dallas is the most iconic character in the whole PAYDAY series, appearing as the main character in almost every media. He is described officially as "the face that everyone fears", referencing his position as the Mastermind/leader of the Payday Gang. He is most often considered to be the leader, or head, of the crew in promotional media as well as his personal Crew Chief Perk Deck, despite not making any tangible impact on gameplay with his presence/absence. Hector also notes that Dallas is the leader of the Payday Gang in one of the voice tapes in the Hoxton Revenge heist. In Slaughterhouse of PAYDAY: The Heist, Bain gave Dallas the honor to signal the ambush on the Murkywater convoy. However, this is not seen again in the remake, surely because of the increased number of heisters in the second game.

Dallas carries a Bernetti 9, a Crosskill and an Uzi
