== Background ==

== Return to Los Santos ==
After the Federal Investigation Bureau came to the Billabong and handed over RICO paperwork to the club, Ed works alongside Barry and TJ to try to save the club. He starts moving money and assets around, trying to save as much as possible. Warehouses get cleared out, storage lockers get bought, graves are dug across Los Santos to bury their fortune. Six months after the RICO gets issued, a joint task force makes a final push for BBMC. Everything they had built up, and hidden was found and destroyed.
The majority of the club ends up in cuffs and locked away, whilst others manage to slip away before they can be caught. Edbert was not so lucky, and ends up in Bolingbroke Penitentiary. However, his stint in prison was shortlived. Roughly ome month after being incarcerated, a group of prisoners begin rioting over poor conditions and lack of food and medicine. During this confusion, Edbert manages to sneak out, after knocking out a guard and taking their weapon and uniform.
On the outside, Ed contacts members from the club with no response. Everything he knew, everything he helped built, is seemingly lost. He visits Reini's grave one final time, and finds his club member Stevie waiting for him. She knew if he was alive and free, he would eventually return here. The two decide to search for clues to Ed's past in Tokyo, Japan. They buy fake IDs, plane tickets and before nightfall that same day, they're halfway across the world.
Edbert and Stevie's time in Japan is not easy. They don't speak the local language, they have no funds and no friends. They resort to their old ways, and begin petty theft to support themselves. This soon evolves into stealing cars, and scrapping them for parts to sell off and they begin a successful, but highly illegal chop shop to fund their lifestyles. At times they are apart, spreading themselves across districts and towns, hoping to find anything that might lead them to who the mysterious 'Kate' person is who knows about Ed's past. Ed, growing increasingly frustrated and depressed at the lack of results, turns to the one thing he knows that takes his mind off of things: Racing.
He begins street racing in a stolen Previon, and starts rising through ranks. Initially he takes on small drag races, but as his skills grow, so does his passion. He begins testing himself more and more, and eventually finds his way into the secretive underground world of Togue Racing. Edbert enters a tournament, and comes second, securing more than $100,000 for Stevie and him. He returns home to give her the good news, but finds her missing, along with some of her things. Distraught, he drives the streets of Tokyo, and calls every number he has for weeks, to see if anyone knows where she might be. He unfortunately finds nothing.
Three years later, Edbert receives an international call from Los Santos, and although the phone is full of static, and the connection is shit, he hears a familiar voice on the other end. He thinks it's Stevie. She only says one word: "Help." Edbert knows he has to go back. 
Ed returns to Los Santos in search of Stevie, and a new meaning to his life. He's a husk, a broken man, and he hopes his return to familiar ground, and a chance at a new start. Thanks to the brand new government and the abolishment of the RICO that ruined everything, he hopes this will give him a chance to find his purpose and reason again.
