Several of these can be seen throughout the Workshop (the setting in the game). Ink Bendy first appeared in the first chapter as the main antagonist, although also as a cardboard cutout. History Bendy and the Ink Machine Chapter 1: Moving Pictures

Bendy also tries to kill Buddy as Boris in Boris and the Dark Survival however, in chapter 3 of Bendy and the Ink Machine Bendy never attempts to kill Buddy as Boris (Buddy is the Boris with Henry in chapter 2 and 3 and who is turned into "Brute Boris" by Alice in chapter 4). Bendy kills Buddy after Buddy tries to drown him in ink.

Bendy is shown to toy with them as he squeezes Dot, "Not hard enough to kill her but hard enough to hurt her.". Later Bendy faces off against Buddy and his friend Dot. When Buddy releases Bendy, Bendy pushes Buddy but doesn't kill him and quickly escapes. In the Dreams Come to Life novel Bendy was shown to be sad about being locked in the infirmary. Bendy is also implied to be unaware of what he is doing due to the fact he is soulless.Ĭhapter 5 also shows the one thing that can wipe that grin off of his face is discovering that his show has ended, meaning that he is not supposed to exist anymore which causes him to breakdown, as he disintegrates as a result of this. In Chapter 5, an audio log from Joey Drew showed that Ink Bendy used to be harmless and merely wander around the studio, not harming anyone but was locked up by Joey, due to concerns that he would scare people and was implied to have been driven insane as a result.

Ink Bendy also appears to be slightly narcissistic, as he reacts poorly to having his cardboard cutouts destroyed and violently hunts down the perpetrator until they're dead. While they traded blows, Ink Bendy overpowers Norman and strangles and decapitates him, and afterwards looks into the Miracle Station and sees Henry, only to drag The Projectionist's corpse into the darkness with him and spare Henry's life.

Later in the same chapter Bendy appears to save Henry from The Projectionist when he corners Henry in a Little Miracle Station. One example is in Chapter 4, when Henry is climbing through the vents and Bendy jumps up and garbs the vent but makes no attempt to harm Henry. However, Ink Bendy has spared Henry multiple times. Unlike his cartoon counterpart who is a friendly, harmless, kind and heroic cartoon character, Ink Bendy is deranged, hostile, dangerous, destructive and homicidal, as he first attacked and tried to kill Sammy Lawrence (but didn't due to Sammy escaping or Bendy sparing him) and then tried to kill Henry next.
