Story

Billy Ray was once a farmer growing and selling corn with Annie, his wife. One day, they were two weeks from harvest, and Billy Ray was at the fields checking on the crop, until suddenly, he heard a strange noise up in the air. There was no dusting schedule that afternoon. When he looked up, he saw a plane zooming over the crop with strange smoke pouring out of it. He yelled for the plane pilot to stop, but he just kept coming. Billy Ray gets caught in the smoke, which suffocated him and rendered him unconscious for hours. When Billy Ray finally woke up, he finds his entire corn field dead and his face horribly disfigured. His first thought was to get back home to Annie, whom he figured would know what to do since she was very smart. But, when he returned to his house, he finds her kissing another man, who was the pilot of the plane that had earlier poisoned Billy Ray. He overheard Annie and the pilot laughing and talking about killing Billy Ray and collecting the life insurance. Enraged and heartbroken, Billy Ray grabbed for the closest thing he could find; a garden hoe. The pilot escaped, but Annie was brutally murdered. Billy Ray kept kept thrashing at her corpse for over an hour until she was unrecognizable. Sometime later, Billy was sent to Blackfield Asylum where every single day, he is haunted by the pilot. But one day, everything changed; he had a visitor who called himself Calypso. He said that he ran a contest and is looking for people like Billy Ray to be a part of it. If Billy Ray would win the contest, he could get the one thing his heart desired; revenge against the pilot who ruined his life. Billy Ray eagerly accepted.

Dialogue

"If I win this game, I get my revenge. Heck, maybe I'll even get lucky and get my old face back too..." "Maybe this is where that pilot lives. Way I see it, when I win, there ain't no place he can hide." "What is it about killing people? Each time I do it, it gets easier. And each time I do it, I like it more & more." "So, this guy won the contest last year? Don't matter none to me-Billy Ray ain't scared'a nothing." "My poor, sweet Annie! I don't blame her no more. It was that damn pilot done steered her wrong!" "This area's tight as death-but I'll get thru it gotta bring flyboy back down t'Earth." "Jeezus! So many rooftops to fall off! With my truck, I can probably push half these cars to their deaths." "I respect the law. But I can't let the cops get in the way of me gettin' my revenge!"

Ending

At the end of Twisted Metal: Black, Billy Ray embarked on his life's ambition: to outdo Sweet Tooth as Midtown's most notorious serial killer. It's been 10 years since that vow, and he has yet to kill another soul. Until tonight...



Trivia

Billy Ray's appearances in the vehicle selection screen and his cutscenes look drastically different due to all of the pictures in the vehicle selection screen being taken in the beta version of TM:B. This is also the case for Agent Stone and Bloody Mary.

This is also the case for Agent Stone and Bloody Mary. In Preacher's middle and ending cutscenes, Billy Ray (Prior to his deformation) and Annie are seen standing next to Preacher as he holds their baby, who was brought to the church exorcised/baptised. Billy Ray is later shown to be impaled by the Preacher.

In his ending, Billy Ray states that killing the pilot was the second time he had ever killed someone. This would be untrue as he would have to kill all of the Twisted Metal contestants in order to win the contest. It's possible that because it was a contest and all the drivers willingly participated on their own terms, Billy did not see them as being "true" victims of his. Therefore, he did not count them among his murders.

The song that plays during the flashback scene and the ending where Billy gets his revenge on the pilot is called "Going Under" by Darrell Wayne “Wayne” Perry. This song was also used in other games, such as Fallout New Vegas. In the Deleted Scenes, the song that originally played was one called "Your Cheating Heart" Which was probably changed to be less on the nose, considering the subject matter.

Billy Ray, Dollface, Sweet Tooth, Mr Grimm, NoFace, and Bloody Mary were the only characters from the game to receive a webshort animation during the game's release, made by AnimationS4.
