In 1994, Frank Brennan worked for Bert Myers. It was Brennan's job to pay $3 million to a Russian general for a nuclear warhead that would otherwise have landed on the black market. But Brennan wanted the money for himself, and tried to steal it. Myers refused to go along with him, and shot at him. At the last moment, Nick Wolfe appeared, and in their struggle, Brennan was shot and died his First Death.
