B.B. Hensley is an old friend of Max in the DEA, and became somewhat of a mentor after Max's family is killed. At first he is a friend of Max, but turns out to have secretly ordered the deaths of Max's entire family and partner Alex Balder, and is also in league with Nicole Horne.
Background
Beau Bridges playing B.B. Hensley
B.B. Hensley is a member of the DEA who is supposedly helping Max on the investigation for the murders of his family, but actually is allied with Nicole Horne with the production of an illegal drug called Valkyr. While Horne let Valkyr junkies loose in the house of Max's family, B.B. shot Alex Blader in Roscoe Street Station and framed Max for his death.
Involvement in Max Payne
In Max Payne, B.B. is featured as a minor villain and boss. He is first heard in Part I, Act 1: Roscoe Train Station, telling Max via phone to meet with Alex in the train station. In Act II, he shoots Alex while Max is talking with him, but out of Max's view. At this point in the game it is not immediately clear to the player that the shooter is B.B. since he had not been visually introduced yet. In Part III, B.B. contacts Max in an attempt to lure him in a trap and kill him; Max, however, knows that B.B. is a traitor and venomously nicknames him "Backstabbing Bastard" before killing B.B. and his henchmen in a protracted shootout in a car park. Most believe that Nicole Horne hired B.B. to kill Alex and frame Max because he was getting close to solving the Valkyr Case. See Backstabbing Bastard for more details.
