==Physical Description==
Paco is a fairly average looking chicano with what he as always classified as "Beedy eyes" that makes him to feel insecure and forces him to wear some form of glasses at all times. He is a bit on the shorter side and was born with small hands which he describes as "Stubby fingers." This often causes him to lose in gun fights and fail hacks. 
Paco fashion sense is stuck in the 90's so you will see him color banging, or wearing baggy clothes. Since he has joined WTF he has been wearing suits. 
==Background Information==
=== Early Age ===
Paco Vega was born outside of Mexico City. In a small town that has long been forgotten about violence. His parents were addicts, and it was a miracle he survived infancy. He was often left to cry in his crib for hours due to lack of feedings. Paco was able to attend public schools until he was around 10 years old. During this time, his brother Chino was born. This was probably the most stable time in Paco's life. 
Around 10 years old, Paco and Chinos parents addiction fell to its lowest point. This is when they started living out of hotels. Food was scarce, and Paco could not stand watching his little brother starve. He noticed some teenagers in one of the apartment blocks shooting dice and asked them what they were doing. They had seen Paco and knew this was their chance, so they gave him $20 pesos and taught him how to play. Paco ended up winning $500 from that game and bought fast food for his brother and himself. It was one of the best meals they ever had.
=== Teen Age ===
Paco starts affiliating himself with these people, and it starts small. Gambling, drinking, and hanging out. They help make sure Paco has some money to get by, and all seems well. This income allows Chico to stay in school and continue his education. Things for Paco slowly start to turn more sinister...
Soon they will have Paco running drugs. He would sit at a location all day, waiting for his pager to ring to let him know to move everything to a second location for a drop. That ended up going so smoothly that they switched him from doing that with drugs to guns.
Paco now finds himself perpetuating an extremely violent war between his grupito and a huge gang known as the Vagos. This is not something Paco wanted to do, and he is now nervous his brother Chino may get caught up in all of this. Looking for an escape, Paco ended up feeling used and fearing for Chino; he did the only thing he could justify. He betrayed his Grupido to the Vagos. He ended up trading the rest of his Grupidos weapons for promises to leave Chino alone. Vagos were honorable, as they had been wanting to control the drug trade in this town and even connected Paco with one of their members who was working at the docks in a city named Los Santos. The catch was that he had to help Vagos once he got to LS. He agreed. 
==== 20 Years Old to Now ====
Paco dedicated his blood, sweat, and tears to the Vagos in LS with the hope that his efforts would always protect his brother. One day he is surprised when he sees Chinco in LS. Chino told him that Paco was the only person who ever cared about him, and he was not going to let him go down this path alone. This is where things get complicated.
Leadership noticed how Paco was "getting soft" with his brother around and was given a task to head to El Salvador to help some Vagos who had been out of contact for a while. Upon arrival, Paco found that the Vagos had become a shell of what they once were and that all the members had lost their roots. Trying to offer help, he was exiled, as they did not even believe he was actually a vago. Paco spent some time around the country looking for ways to make money to try to prove to this Vagos chapter that he meant business. He found himself working in a mine with very unsafe conditions as it paid for what he needed. While working at this mine, he met some other like-minded individuals who invited him to come hang out after work. Paco ended up becoming very close with Guillermo "Clee" Torres. 
We now know these like-minded individuals were part of an organized gang known as the Marabunta Grande. In a strange fate of events, maybe it was all the soot covering his face from the furnace, but Marabunta thought he was one of their lost members, and Paco rolled with it. He put his blood, sweat, and tears into MG, rising through the ranks. After obtaining his higher status, Paco finally told them his secret, and they still accepted him. Eventually, Chino escaped LS and was able to join MG with Paco. They had many adventures until one day Chino just disappeared. This disapproval made Paco distraught and he went back to the only place he thought Chino would be, and that was Mexico.
Its been 10 years, and Paco was unable to find him. He heard that LS had been closed for a while but recently opened their borders. He's making one last attempt to find his brother.
