Background

Bauer is a maintenance worker at the Boston Cryonics Lab. He had a wife and three daughters, which he abandoned before the war. Bauer likes watching recorded baseball games.


During the events of Air (2015) played by Norman Reedus

Buaer along with Cartwright are woken up to do routine maintenance on the facility for two hours. While they are finishing their work, an electrical fire caused by structural damage from an earthquake leads to Cartwright's cryonic sleep chamber to catch fire. After finding replacement parts in a sealed off area, they install them in Cartwright's sleep chamber. Cartwright is hesitant to test the sleep chamber and so Bauer offers to get inside while Cartwright does a diagnostic test. The sleep chamber fails and Bauer starts to choke from the plastic hood collapsing on his face. He calls out to Cartwright and after he passes out, he is freed by Cartwright. Bauer wants to pull out a sleeper so Cartwright can use it, but after Cartwright refuses, Cartwright decides he is going to try to find a part in another facility that is supposedly nearby. While Cartwright is at the other facility, Bauer watches a video recording that shows Cartwright watched for some time as Bauer was choking in the sleep chamber before freeing him. When Cartwright returns, Bauer threatens him with a gun he pulled off of the corpse of a dead soldier. Bauer hunts Cartwright down and shoots him in the shoulder when Cartwright sneaks back into their facility. Cartwright begs Bauer to listen to him and pulls out a photo before running away again. Bauer grabs the photo and after figuring out Cartwright is married to one of the sleepers, he goes into the sleeping chamber and threatens to shoot Cartwright's wife, Abby. Cartwright attacks Bauer and injects him with a fatal dose of morphine and Bauer lays down and dies.
