== Relationships==
===Family===
Lang Buddha
Lang Buddha is Yeager's father. The two have an overly tumultuous relationship with many ups and downs. Lang seems to have a soft spot for his son and wants to be a good father but doesn't quite know how to, as he explained to Donnie. Earlier in their relationship, Lang showers Yeager with expensive presents, always gives in to his demands for more money, and has gone after multiple individuals in retaliation for any harm dealt to Yeager and The Guild. 
He is very possessive towards Yeager and lashes out with extreme jealousy when another parental figure enters Yeager's life, such as Denzel. Lang doesn't want Yeager to be adopted by anyone else and has threatened Fiona for so much as jokingly suggesting that she could become Yeager's mom. 
Before Yeager's induction into Talon, Buddha showed anger over Denzel bringing Yeager along to kidnap and murder an individual, making it seem like he was trying to protect Yeager from being influenced by Denzel. However, Lang is also responsible for slowly turning his son into a Talon member, which requires Yeager to commit crimes just as bad, if not worse. Lang has shown no signs of regret or concern about this, indicating that perhaps it was never about Yeager being corrupted and just about Denzel taking on a role Lang sought to fill. This became more and more apparent when Lang and Denzel had a falling-out due to Denzel falling in love with Andi and warming up to the idea of the nerds being his new family. 
When Yeager and the other Guild members stopped working at Rooster's Rest to pursue other goals, Lang became upset again. He has been continuously trying to guilt-trip Yeager and uses it against him in arguments, accusing him of abandoning the Rooster even when Yeager offers to help in other ways, such as going to war against its competitors. They grew apart sometime after this.
Yeager has unintentionally vented about his abandonment issues to his fellow Guildmates several times throughout the years, but around April 2022, the sentiment concluded in a query for Denzel to adopt him and Bjorn, as both their fathers are too busy with heists and races to ever talk with them anymore.
Their relationship hit an all-time low after Yeager returned from his Cayo Perico's vampiric escapade. [--]
As it was revealed in August 2023, Lang has always been Yeager's biological father. He time-traveled to the year 2137 in another universe and bedded an alien woman of Talorian race. Because of Edwin's death, Yeager's timeline collapsed, and Lang brought his son to his own universe to save him. Yeager has not explicitly recognize this, however.
Violet
Violet is Yeager's mother. She works as a stripper and used to be employed at the Vanilla Unicorn which embarrasses Yeager greatly. He has implied that he can't be Yeager, his D&D character, around her at home because she wouldn't approve of it. Ever since Lang Buddha expressed to The Guild that he wishes for them to stay in character at all times, Yeager stopped mentioning his home life with his mother.
Gerard Hawthorne
Dewey is Yeager's adoptive younger brother, they go way back since the early Rooster's Rest and The Crypts days. The most apparent way he did in fact look out for his brother was that Yeager refused to give Dewey coke because of his bad history with it. As Lang and his oldest son's relationship started to sour worse than ever, Dewey has been one of the main victims of their argument. Yeager for the first time texted his father threatening to kill Dewey so that he's going to be all he has left, although Dewey is unaware of this affair. Yeager also stated time and time again that he wanted to hurt Dewey (via Petunia Brookshire for instance) because he's the most suitable model of what a perfect son should be.
Recently, caused by Harry Brown, Lang Buddha, and Denzel Williams' ill-intentioned habit to call Yeager "Kayn", he retaliated by calling Dewey "Abel." 
Yeager also encouraged Dewey to quit being a "memento mori", telling him he could do so much more than his job, and that if Dewey ever changed his mind--he knows where to find him. Despite everything, it seemed that Dewey realized he has done nothing wrong all while holding no grudge against Yeager, even feeling bad for him.
Ai Musori
Egg is the only, now former, Burger Shot employee Yeager doesn't hold a grudge against. While still working at Burger Shot, she often gave him free pies. Yeager was in favor of her joining the Rooster's Rest, and Ai ultimately did after she quit Burger Shot. After joining the Guid, she was adopted by Lang Buddha and became Yeager's adoptive younger sister.
===The Guild===
The Guild
Lars Haverford
Bjorn and Yeager have become good friends over the course of their time in Los Santos. When Bjorn went through his emo phase after a miscommunication with his then-love interest Riley, Yeager showed his softer, caring side. He offered advice and tried his best to cheer Bjorn up. After Yeager's motorcycle parts deteriorated, Bjorn would also try to cheer him up by giving him a taser that he had obtained from trading one his Rob toys to Tony Andrews. Bjorn knew that the taser would mean a lot to Yeager because Yeager had already been trying desperately to obtain a taser for several months, to no avail. 
Bjorn and Yeager's favorite activities as a duo include loitering at the police station and begging for ride-a-longs, hiding in the parking lot at the police station to steal equipment out of unlocked cars, and volunteering as EMS together.
Stanly Lessfield
Before Rooster's Inn opened, every room at Rooster's Rest used to belong to one of the nerds. This was with the exception of Yeager and Gea Stagdancer who were roommates and lived in a room together. Stag liked to annoy Yeager by hanging up pictures of Yeager's mom in their room. Allegedly, he jerked off to them in front of Yeager. Despite this outwardly crude behavior, it became clear upon Yeager's prolonged disappearance that Stag values their friendship and is really attached to Yeager. His grief caused him to develop a bad drinking habit and eventually triggered the appearance of his happy-go-lucky alter, Casey, whenever Yeager's name was mentioned. 
After learning that marriage may enable tax benefits, Gea and Yeager became engaged. There have not been any wedding plans, however.
Clyde Eastside
Meowfurryon was not only Yeager's friend but, when in cat form, also his cat. This originally started when Yeager had to pose as Meowfurryon's owner due to pet leash laws in certain places. Yeager continued to refer to himself as Meowfurryon's owner afterwards. He would sometimes brag about the accomplishments of his cat, especially in regards to gambling. 
After Meowfurryon was tortured by Sam Baas, Yeager showed his protectiveness over him. During the trial, he punched Dante Wolf after him and Baas put on rat masks to intimidate Meowfurryon. He was charged with contempt and received a 100 month sentence with a $5000 fine. 
When the conflict between Meowfurryon, Lang and Denzel escalated, Meowfurryon asked Baas for help instead of turning to The Guild. Yeager felt betrayed and confused by this. He couldn't understand why Meowfurryon would trust the man who had tortured him over his friends from The Guild. Soon, it dawned on him that they would have to kill Meowfurryon to protect Talon. Even though he felt betrayed, Yeager hated this idea. Until the very end, he begged Meowfurryon to explain in an attempt to find a way out. After killing Meowfurryon, Yeager was deeply distraught, stating that there was nothing Talon could ever require him to do that would be as bad as this. In order to avoid facing unassuming friends and customers who might ask about Meowfurryon, he fled to World of Warcraft for a few days.
Eve Summers
Yeager has known Eve for a long time. Yeager got close to her while working at Roosters Rest together. After learning about her potential in managing the Emperor's business and the trust from The Guild Yeager offered her the position of CEHOE of Guild Hall. Since Eve spent a lot of time with the guild as an prospect, she was invited as a full member of The Guild. Over time, Eve was accepted to the position of CEHOE of Demon Den.
Finguild Dan
Yeager met Finguild on the forums a long time ago, yet Finguild only recently came into the city to meet his other guild members. It can be assumed during their time on the forums they grew close, as when they met up Yeager was very pleased to see Finguild and later on would say he is one of the most important people to him. Their first real fight would occur on 10/23/22, where Finguild would mess up time after time again, Yeager would then call Finguild after being released to tell him how he fucked up, and to tell him how important Finguild is to him, making a point out of saying he would kill Finguild's friends and family to make him see how badly he messed up. Yeager even went as far to mention Meowfurryon and how he did stupid things, Finguild would then say that Meow didn't need to die. Finguild would then check himself into Parsons at the end of the night to get himself help for Yeager.
===Other Friends===
[Other Friends
Olivia Copper
Yeager first met Copper after his car had been attacked by a high-level wizard, making it fly uncontrollably and crash. Copper was sent to investigate the issue. She introduced herself as a demonologist after realizing that Yeager was part of the LARPers, which impressed Yeager. 
They met again when Copper and her partner Domenic Toretti were called to the Rooster's Rest to investigate Bernice Caldershot. Yeager was selected by his party to speak on their behalf as a witness. Before allowing him to enter the police car, the police searched him and found illegal oxycodone. Yeager was arrested and taken to an abandoned, fly-infested house in the desert to be interrogated. He didn't have any information on Bernice's whereabouts so Copper and Toretti ended up taking him back to the Rooster's Rest without a charge. To scare Yeager and his party into cooperating with them in the future, they remained silent on the entire way back, causing Yeager to freak out. Yeager was angry about the incident for several days. 
Their relationship later turned more amicable when The Guild met up with Copper and Lenny Hawk after picking up binoculars at the police department. Yeager offered to DM a D&D session with Copper as the Terminator and Lenny Hawk as Steven Seagal. The D&D session was interrupted as both Copper and Hawk were still on duty but continued several days later over the phone and at the Rooster's Rest. 
Some reservations still remain, however. Yeager frequently refers to her as the devil, even to her face. Copper has him saved as "DipshitPurpleFaceIdiot" in her phone and complains about him to other people. At one point, Yeager allegedly sent her a dick pic which may or may not have been ASCII art. When they meet in person, they usually argue, though Yeager's friends speculate that this is just Yeager's way of showing affection. 
Most recently, there has been tension between the two due to Copper investigating Meowfurryon's disappearance and interrogating members of The Guild.
Four Tee
Yeager was the first and for a long time only member of The Guild to befriend Four Tee. He calls her by the nickname Gremlin. She often used to visit him at the Rooster's Rest and leave notes in his room there. Yeager helps her out financially and gives her free churros at the restaurant. During Yeager's prolonged disappearance, Four Tee went on a hunger strike. 
Yeager was initially #18 on her List of Friends, until he got promoted to #3 after giving her advice about Mel Rickenbacker and Mike Block, who are #2 and #1 respectively. 
As a token of their friendship and to demonstrate his trust in Four Tee, Yeager eventually gave her the voodoo doll a witch had made of him. Up to this point, he had kept it hidden inside his apartment out of fear that someone would use it against him.
Carmella Corset
A close friend of Yeager. Yeager worked with Carmella at the Rooster's Rest. He used to refer to Carmella as a "stripper" due to the promiscuous clothes she would wear. Yeager developed a respect and soft spot for Carmella despite showing a scary demeanor towards everyone else in the city. Yeager often helps Carmella whenever she needs money or is in need. 
Later on, Yeager and Carmella became neighbors after he bought the Playboy Mansion from Mr. K next to Carmella's Vinewood mansion.
Michael Simone
A close friend of Yeager. Yeager and Michael have close business ties, both being suppliers of artillery. Yaeger can often be seen taking orders on behalf of Michael. Yeager is his protégé, and he is trained in the manufacture of explosives. According to Michael, after his arrest, Yeager will personally make bombs of various types. 
After participating in Michael's rescue from prison, Yeager came under police investigation. Detectives have established their close relationship and access to explosives.
===Enemies & Former Enemies===
Enemies & Former Enemies
Melbert Rickenbacker
During the feud between Burger Shot and Rooster's Rest, Kevin Whipaloo hired Mel to abduct and shoot Yeager. Because Mel was masked, Yeager didn't know who his kidnappers were until much later. When he learned that it was Mel that had shot him, Mel apologized and explained that it had been strictly business.
Chris Porter
Chris Porter has attacked the Rooster's Rest countless times and shot members of The Guild. At one point, the situation became so tense that the Rooster stayed in a constant state of vigilance for several days. Yeager feels that the police didn't handle the situation well and didn't do enough to help. These robberies combined with his then recent kidnapping experiences led to Yeager developing the need to be constantly armed and ready to defend himself and the Rooster.
Tay Taay
Tay Taay has attacked and harassed members of the Guild multiple times, stolen their vehicles and attempted to kidnap Bjorn.
Marlo Stanfield
Marlo Stanfield works at the Diamond Casino and Resort with Yeager. While at work, Marlo allowed Yeager a free spin on the wheel of fortune. The wheel landed on $1,000. Usually, a spin costs $1,000 so instead of taking the money, Yeager used it on another spin. This time, he won $10,000. Marlo refused to give Yeager the full amount and argued that employees actually only get to keep half of the prize. Yeager was enraged and rejected the $5,000 since in his eyes, he was being scammed and deserved the full $10,000.
Rudi Rinsen
While gambling at the casino, Rudi was offended by Yeager running around inside the building and confronted him. Yeager, who was helping a costumer at the time, felt slighted and gave a snark response. At the time, he didn't know that Rudi was president of Lost MC, meaning he had possibly just turned an entire gang against him. After he realized the gravity of the situation, the two made up and Yeager even invited Rudi to the bike races that Stagdancer and him were organizing.
The Blocks
The Block family, and by extension Alta Street Ruff Rydaz, have frequently gotten into conflict with Yeager and the Rooster's Rest. The Blocks have shot and pocket wiped Yeager multiple times due to him refusing to pay their "hood tax". Yeager faces the strange dilemma of having to go against his friend, Four Tee, due to Mike Block's position as Four Tee's number 1 friend and her involvement in Alta Street Ruff Rydaz. In recent times, Yeager and The Guild have decided to concede in paying the "hood tax", and developed a neutral relationship with the Block's after realizing that the Block's "have nothing to lose".
Tulip Peach
Yeager first encountered Tulip by chance one day when he overheard her speaking to some friends at Burger Shot. He seemed to have a very visceral reaction to her presence in the city. Upon seeing her, he walked straight up to her and "meowed" in her face. He then proceeded to walk away and creepily watch her from a distance. Tulip eventually convinced one of her friends, Chad Brad, to try and bribe Yeager to stop watching her by giving him her collectible Burger Shot toy. Yeager refused the bribe and instead asked Chad to give Tulip a message: "The citizens of Rust Vegas never forget. Meow." Since this incident he has continued to watch Tulip from a distance, even taking notes of her conversations.
Paul Leesemann
Yeager met Paul Leesemann when Paul was on a ride-along with the police. Yeager and Bjorn unknowingly entered an active crime scene near the casino and police shot them down by mistake. The two were arrested, left at the entrance of the casino, and the police operation continued. At this point, Yeager was unconscious and bleeding out. No medical professionals were called despite Bjorn's best efforts. Eventually, police asked Paul Leesemann to treat Yeager and Bjorn despite having no medical qualifications apart from Boy Scouts training as a child. Due to this, Yeager suffered from sepsis. 
In the following days, Yeager started harassing, gaslighting, and regularly attacking Paul Leeseman with a hatchet to the point that the mere sight of Yeager or his bike would cause Paul to panic. This went unnoticed for several weeks. No one seemed to believe Paul that it was Yeager who was harassing him. Yeager even arranged multiple paid witnesses to win a defamation lawsuit against Paul Leesemann that followed one of these hatchet attacks. 
Beyond that, Yeager and Bjorn pursued a different lawsuit for the way the incident at the casino was handled, though Paul Leesemann tragically passed away before the court date.
Timothy "Picky" Machi
Picky is a racer that hurt Yeager in a hit-and-run accident. After the incident, Yeager was only able to remember the appearance of the car that had hit him. With the help of Mayumi, Fiona, and other connections in the racing scene, Yeager identified the culprit as Picky, a Fedora-wearing racer with a well-hidden identity. To get revenge, Yeager and Barry ambushed Picky at the meet-up spot for a race, kidnapped him and took him to the mines. Picky explained his behavior by stating that Yeager had been in his way during a race. Picky was shot and left in the mines where police later found him. 
After two days, Yeager was arrested for an unrelated incident and police discovered that the casings they had found in the mines belonged to the gun Yeager was currently carrying. Yeager was interrogated but police ultimately decided not to charge him for the attempted murder in the mines. Picky's description of his kidnapper as a mostly silent assassin did not seem to match Yeager's loud and aggressive personality. Additionally, Brian Knight advised that connecting a two-day-old crime to the person carrying the weapon that was used would not hold up in court.
