Khai Minh Dao was born in Orange Country, [[Wikipedia:California|California]] in the 20th Century. Khai is also an first-generation Vietnamese-American who often in her youth rebelled against others, and intentionally disliked the west coast. In the years to follow, Khai became a cop, rising to Vice Squad with Captain [[Julian Dawes|Dawes]] and [[Carl Stoddard|Stoddard]]. Captain Dawes would often ride on her about her short temper that would unleash during investigations.

As she became a cop, at an unknown time, she was romantically-involved with criminal [[Tyson Latchford]] until she revealed her profession <ref> [[Gator Bait]] </ref>.

+
{{Quote|Why didn't you just take the damn money?|Khai after her betrayal.}}
+
Afterward, Nick is convince that it was just a test (of seeing was he trustworthy of stealing the money), but know's that Stoddard is dirty. Khai and Nick are sent back to Neltz's hideout where Nick finds an recording of the deal. Khai leads on an investigation of an truck as Nick finds and arrests Stoddard.

Khai reveals that she is corrupted by pointing her pistol to Nick, asking him why didn't he take the money. The trio put the blame of Neltz's missing money on Nick, who is sent to prison.
+
+
===Defeating Preffered Outcomes===
+
Three years later, Khai has left Vice and Preferred Outcomes due to her personal vendetta against Stoddard. Needing help to end Dawes, she gets Tyson and Tap (who is in prison) to break out Nick. While she calls her old friend, [[Marcus Boone|Boomer]] to get information from Dawes' associate [[Henry Kang]].
+
+
After breaking him out, she sends Tyson and Nick to get Boomer from Kang. The trio kill Kang, ending his association with Dawes, but return back covered in cocaine (due to Tyson trying to run away with it).
