Beverly Brekker

Beverly Brekker is a character role-played by Dimoak.
== Background ==
Beverly Brekker was adopted at a young age after his parents left him. Bev thinks his parents moved to Los Santos right after he was born, gave birth to Wylan Whitman a year later, and then passed away. Wylan was killed by Kiki Pendragon in self-defense on May 16, 2023. Bev was once married to lesbian Darcy Lane for one day in an agreement to rebel against his parents. He maintained a lifelong friendship with her following their amicable divorce.
== Personality ==
Perhaps the first thing people notice about Beverly is his anxious demeanor and wavering voice. He is a bit of a people-pleaser, often going out of his comfort zone to appease others or garner approval. However, he is also extremely smart and hard working. He is quite resourceful and when he sets his mind to something he typically will stop at nothing to achieve it - even if he is uncomfortable in the process. 
== Notable Events ==
Intern for The Company
Bev became a personal intern trainee for Mickey Sinclaire after calling his number from the Yellow Pages, and made a good first impression after saving Mickey's bike from getting stolen.
The Company Man
Despite Bev's friendship with his ex-wife Lane's 1% motorcycle club the Raiders MC, he lamented how distrustful they were--particularly after the club denied making him an "Old Lady" despite Lane vouching for him. Lane, convinced that she was too emotionally unavailable to love anyone romantically enough to be an Old Lady, felt like Bev would be the closest she'd ever get. However, the only holdout vote blocking him from becoming an Old Lady was Raiders MC Enforcer Rue Day, who didn't know him very well, didn't trust very easily, and was fully aware that Lane was not in love with him.
On February 4, 2024 at Chumash Pier, Rue conversed with Bev so that she could make an informed decision about whether to change her nay vote to a yea vote. But Bev felt like he was being interviewed, and eventually went off about the unwillingness to trust him--including an uninformed opinion that Alice "Allie" Omen never would have left the Raiders MC had they really been a family. He stormed off before Rue could respond. After concussing her head trying to catch back up to him, she declined his subsequent effort to make up. Afterward, Rue upset Lane with a comment about now feeling justified for the nay vote against Bev. Rue explained to Lane that she genuinely wanted to meet Bev to give him a yea vote, but lost respect for him for poking her fresh wound about her friend Allie and storming out. Lane advised Rue not to count Bev out over one bad conversation, but declined the option Rue floated to override her nay vote. When Rue remarked that she was glad she went with her gut, Lane responded that it hurt to hear how vindicated she felt going against Lane's trust of Bev.
The next day in a private Chumash Pier conversation with Lane, Bev admitted to assuming that Rue was trying to trap him--an assumption based upon his belief that the Raiders MC judged each other for their worst moments, as well as his hurt that they hadn't trusted him as a leap of faith. Fixating upon Bev's statement that The Company had never once judged him for repeatedly failing, Lane voiced her conclusion that they'll always be friends but that he was looking for The Company--not the Raiders MC. Bev winced at that. Lane elaborated that if he was looking for blind faith and trust, then he belonged in a business or a friend group rather than a 1% motorcycle club where members were held accountable for mistakes that could mean life or death. Also given that the MC members had to put their lives on the line for each other every single day, she found it completely fair for someone to want 100% certainty before bringing an outsider in. Finally, Lane explained that Bev had gone into the conversation with Rue in bad faith by assuming she distrusted him based upon his own prejudgments, when really Rue just wanted to get to know him. Bev walked away dejected.
