History of John McBain:
John McBain arrived in Llanview in 2003 as part of an undercover sting operation to arrest Flynn Laurence. While infiltrating in Flynn's criminal organization, John was ordered to go to Llanview and recruit Natalie Vega for a pool tournament. After Natalie refused to throw the game, Flynn kidnapped her, which forced John to reveal his true identity as an FBI agent. During this ordeal, Natalie's husband Cristian was caught up in the rescue and was presumed to have died.

Soon afterwards, John became involved in the Music Box killer investigation. Although initially Natalie resented John for indirectly causing the death of her husband, their friendship soon grew. John solved the case and arrested Dr. Stephen Haver as the killer, but was poisoned by Haver after he switched his prescription pills. During his recovery, Natalie, remained at his bedside and they soon began a new chapter in their relationship.

During his next investigation of the Santi crime family, John began working closely with Kathryn Fitzgerald, his deceased fiancé’s sister. Natalie misinterpreted their friendship, and she became involved with Paul Cramer. In the meantime, during a murder investigation, John and Evangeline Williamson ended up trapped in a wine cellar together. After drinking several bottles of wine, John slept with Evangeline. Afterwards, John and Evangeline tried to brush it off as a one night stand, but they soon realized it was much more.

John and Evangeline's relationship ended after she soon realized he was not able to commit to her in the way she desired. After Natalie and Evangeline were both kidnapped by The Killing Club killer, John went on a frantic search to find them. After finding them in great danger, John was forced to save Natalie first, which affirmed to Evangeline that his heart was not with her, but with Natalie.

John and Natalie's relationship further developed during his next investigation to track down his father's murderer. John eventually solved the case and arrested Spencer Truman. After finally finding peace, John decided it was time to make a deeper commitment to Natalie and propose to her. Unfortunately on the way to meet Natalie, John was involved in a car accident and presumed dead. Later, Vincent Jones figured out that there had been a mix up and John was still alive. Although John reunited with Natalie, her interference in his recovery and Spencer Truman's murder investigation ended their relationship. Currently, John is single again.
