Sparky Kane/3.0

Sparky Kane is a character role-played by Louuis
==Background Information==
=== Music: Wuchang -> MDM Records ===
Sparky came to the city looking to showcase his unique Grime and UK style of music. He decided to audition at Wu Chang Records in front of Valentine Dalla. After being signed to Wu Chang, he spoke with Dwayne Flores of MDM Records to potentially switch labels, which Dwayne asked to see more from Sparky. He performed everyday at WuChella, where Tommy Tate was in the crowd, not being happy after discovering that they let him go.
Tommy later pursued his interest in Sparky and with the help of Dwayne Flores they attempted to poach him from Wuchang. He eventually switched labels from Wu-Chang to MDM Records where he signed and released tracks such as Rivalry, Demon Time, and Medusa. Sparky Kane was a fairly controversial artist and released disstracks directed towards criminal groups such as Seaside and musical groups like the Bimbos. SK also played a major role in the deterioration of relationships between Mandem and Chang Gang, as a line in one of his songs was directed at Wuchang's failure to pay him. This lyric was then overheard at the Vanilla Unicorn by members of Chang Gang during a Big Toe concert. In the subsequent afterparty at the Mandem Block, members of Chang Gang pulled up with the purpose of blowing up the festivities. In the confusion, Sparky fired the first few shots in what would prove to be one of the most notorious conflicts Los Santos had ever seen.
=== Crime: Roadman -> Mandem ===
Outside of music and after spending a few months conducting small-scale drug dealing and petty crime, Sparky Kane would become one of the key members in the Mandem's short-lived street team called the Roadmen. Alongside Jay Martin, Sparky Kane was one of the leading figures of the group that consisted of six other members, including Matthew Antov. The Roadmen and Sparky operated out of Blue Cage and were known to help MDM with their weed and meth activities, as well take part in lots of high-speed car boosting. The Roadmen regularly clashed with other groups such as the Aztecas, and also Hydra after the latter sought to claim Blue Cage as part of their turf. Following the Roadmen's active involvement in the Mandem and Seaside conflict, the group was officially disbanded when Dean Quincy convinced Tommy Tate to incorporate all the Roadmen members into the Mandem, as Mandem Associates (MDMA).
Of all the Roadmen to be made MDMA, Sparky Kane was the first that was officially made a member of Mandem and this was largely as a result of his close ties with then Mandem leader, Tommy Tate. Tommy always viewed Sparky Kane as his prodigy and they were even roommates for a short period of time. Sparky Kane quickly rose to become one of the more influential members of the gang, often leading complex drug operations involving the sale of Cocaine, Pills, and Lean. Sparky himself is a fairly street-smart individual but his impulsive tendencies lead him to occasionally make mistakes resulting in him being stung by the LSPD a number of times for the sale of narcotics and drug trafficking. One of Sparky's more impulsive moments was the faking of his own death at his 'retirement' show, in order to escape one of his romantic interests, and fiancée, Elena Vega.
Even before being made a member of hierarchy, Sparky Kane played an important role in the Mandem as he was known to be one of the only gang members that was able to get through to some of the more troublesome members of Mandem, such as Dean Quincy and Matthew Antov. It was his charisma and respect from other gang members that eventually resulted in him being officially brought in by Patar as a member of the Mandem's High Command structure.
=== The Downfall of the Mandem and Leadership ===
The long absence of Tommy Tate and Patar's chaotic leadership in his place is what would eventually spell the end of the Mandem in Los Santos and lead Sparky Kane down a very dark path. Following an extensive court case back in England, Tommy Tate returned to Los Santos with a desire to step away from leadership of the Mandem, particularly once he heard that many of the assets and relationships that he had worked hard to achieve were in wreck and ruin. In an emotionally charged meeting at Tommy's mansion in Tongva Hills, Sparky Kane was elected the new leader of the Mandem. Unfortunately for Sparky, during this meeting, him and other members of the Mandem had refused to let Tommy step away from the gang completely and he had instead made it clear that Tommy would not be allowed to leave peacefully.
After only a few days of leadership, Tommy arranged a meeting between himself, Patar and Sparky in a metro station. In this meeting Sparky and Tommy butted heads over the new direction of the gang, with Sparky keen to give all Mandem members a fresh start under his leadership and Tommy urging him to be more ruthless. As the meeting was drawing to a close, Tommy Tate threw his Mandem chain on the floor and walked away. True to his word at Tommy's mansion, Sparky Kane pulled out a revolver and shot Tommy in the back as he walked away. Before getting in a car with Patar, Sparky stood over the bleeding body of his former mentor and said: 'You taught me to be a man of my word T, I loved you'.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Patar Bellosh feeling upset at some of things Tommy had said in the subway drained many of the business accounts and assets that he had helped run for Tommy. Sparky was not asked before Patar did this, but as the new leader he stood by Patar's action. After experiencing the betrayal of his former prodigy and learning about Patar's actions, Tommy used his personal resources and connections that he built through his time in the city to start a mission to seek revenge on Sparky, Patar and the rest of the Mandem. The conflict that erupted ended with Patar losing his left arm and Tommy T blowing up the Mandem Block in front of Sparky and the rest of Mandem.
After the block explosion, Sparky and the Mandem all went their separate ways. For most of the 5 years, Sparky stayed away from Los Santos as he was in hiding and retired from the criminal life. Rumour has it, that the reason Sparky went underground and stopped his life of crime is because he murdered an infamous gang leader back in London.
