Evan Bauer is a former soldier, who served in Afghanistan, and an accomplice of Radford Hayes along with Jack Cochran. Bauer and Cochran were recruited by Radford Hayes in order to make a dirty bomb and plant it in a U.S city, which would stimulate a terrorist attack and stir up the anti terrorist sentiment again. The 3 of them were able to successfully make this bomb, but were found out by a former Syrian nuclear physicist-turned-Immigrant American cabbie Amir Alhabi, doing some surveillance, which forced Hayes to have Amir killed and all the evidence of what they were up to destroyed.
