==Background Information==
Yogi Swole is 31 and British. He escaped his past and England with it, finding himself in a strange new place, after slipping into a container bound for Los Santos. Despite his age he comes across incredibly naïve and has an almost childlike innocence. To understand the way he is, one would need to know his life so far... 
Yogi grew up beaten, neglected, and abused by an ashamed Mother in a middle-class family in central England. Initially his mother just controlled every aspect of his life from how he dressed to what he did each hour of the day without any value to any fun aspect of his life. She believed that games or most forms of fun were a detriment to future success. Despite hours of private tuition on top of grammar school education Yogi struggled with many basics and continued to score well below average in IQ tests. 
As he continued to disappointment, things got steadily worse, and he became ridiculed and badly abused by his bitter Mother. What started off as simple beatings grew into deprivation, starvation and even some forms of torture. The more it happened the more his mother derived enjoyment from the harsh way she treated him. Yogi was held under freezing water until the bubbles stopped appearing at the surface, tied down for hours in darkness, strangled until he passed out, and more. Most days he spent terrified, hungry, and eating only the scraps left from his Parents meals. The most he ever got was left over chicken nuggets from a takeaway which he had to pluck out the bin. 
He would take any opportunity to shuffle away to his room with a single bed, a desk, and a wardrobe accounting for all his personal possessions. The only light in his life would be when he sat in his window and watched his father pull onto the drive in beautiful sports cars. His Father changed cars often, so he saw a vast line up of vehicles turn up for him to admire. Cars fascinated him and he would daydream constantly about escaping and hitting the open road.  
Freedom was something he sorely lacked during his upbringing but that all changed one night. At this point, now well into typical adulthood age, he hated the people who were supposed to have cared for him. He had bided his time and scouted out the car keys that would spell his freedom. The last they heard of him was the exhaust of his father's latest impulse purchase. This was the night when Timothy Solace became Yogi Swole, after changing his name to avoid pursuit.  
Yogi did not go far; with no possessions part from a small plushie dog he named Malakai he abandoned the car, now deprived of fuel, in a patch of scrub land in Birmingham. He was now alone, with no place to stay and not a penny to his name, without any qualifications or a reputable background, it was impossible to find employment and so he begged and scraped by daily for survival. His Mother never tried to find him and so he spent years like this, but he was far happier free on the streets than in his family home abused and scared day by day. Still, it was lonely and most people who were also down on their luck on the streets were thieves, crackheads, criminals, and various other kinds of degenerate.  
Yogi was truly alone, that was until he met Dante. Dante was living on the streets and had been for some time before Yogi, as such Yogi was taken under his wing and was truly shown how the streets worked. The following years were some of the best to date, with less struggle and more enjoyment than ever before as they both looked out for one another. Most of all Dante introduced Yogi to Bob & Rob who owned a canal barge. Whenever they came by, they’d let the street duo crash on the boat, clean up, eat and spend days watching all the TV and Movies they wanted to. It was always sad to see the boat chug away out of town as Yogi and Dante were thrust back out into the cold.  
As time went by Yogi saw Dante change, he saw a deep sadness in his friend that burrowed deeper and deeper and no matter what he did, Dante grew quiet and more and more distant. Days went by where Yogi could not find Dante in any of the usual spots. The last that he saw of his friend was his face just before the zip of the body bag closed and his body was wheeled off of train tracks.  
A broken Yogi drifted through life, no longer making friends but plenty of enemies. A homeless guy with a lockup full of possessions was found face down after overdosing the same night Yogi stole from a dealer. Little did he know the dealer was part of the underground, and now fearing for his life he made for the nearest port and slipped into a container bound for LS.  
Yogi remains as naive as ever, as such, it does not take much to egg on or push Yogi into mischief or wrongdoing. As a result, he can often be found in dire circumstances or the wrong side of the law. None of it really matters, he does not want for much having never owned anything of value. Daily life had become a roller coaster, and he was not about to get off.
