Irving Bailiff is the senior-most Macrodata Refiner at Lumon Industries.
He has a no-nonsense demeanor and takes the Kier philosophy very seriously. Irving is known to abide by Lumon rules strictly and often cautions his colleagues when they are in violation of them. He comes from a very regimented background.
At work he has a reputation for falling asleep at his desk. He has terrifying dreams about his cubicle being overtaken by thick black goo.
Irving develops strong romantic feelings towards Burt, the head of Optics and Design. They begin to have intense but somewhat innocent meetings in various parts of the SVR’D Floor.
Irving's father was in the U.S. Navy. Irving has some of his medals displayed in his home. Irving himself also appears to have been in a branch of the military.
Irving's innie believes that he has worked for Lumon for 9 years and been severed for 3; he is the longest-tenured employee in Macrodata Refinement. There are theories that he has actually worked for Lumon for much longer, but his memory has been reset in some way on the Testing Floor.
According to the facts about his outie shared in his wellness session (in episode 2), Irving likes the sound of radar. He is fond of movies and has a machine that can play them. He is also fond of records. Irving paints the same image of the long dark hallway leading to the Testing Floor over and over again. He is a powerful swimmer and popular dancer, and is skilled at kissing and lovemaking.
Let's burn this place to the ground.
You smug motherfucker!
Hey, Mark. I just printed out the passage of the handbook on changing out group photos. Just might be good to peruse when you're between things.
