__TOC__
==Description==
Lang Buddha is a founding member of the Leanbois, Cleanbois, Talon, and superior of the Guild, who adheres to him as the Stormlord. He was the 7th Mayor of Los Santos. Lang is a violent criminal with terrorist tendencies by night and a successful business mogul and community leader by day, being the owner of Nest Holdings, the parent company of Rooster's Rest, and a founding, key member of Cerberus. 
Due to being one of the richest and most well-connected men in Los Santos, and privately a violent criminal and one of the kingpins of the criminal world, Lang has a big target on his back. The extent of his power can be seen everywhere, as he helped get Denzel Williams elected as mayor, and later became mayor himself, positioning himself as a political leader. He has previously established alliances and working relationships with the Vagos, Chang Gang, Gulag Gang, The Mandem, and various influential individuals in the city at varying extents. This has led to the Unified Police Department, District Attorney, and Department of Justice to always keep an eye on Lang and the moves he makes. He has made enemies with officers/aquientences such as Sam Baas, Jack Ripley, Kyle Pred and Randy Wrangler. 
Overall, his business acumen and connections in the criminal underworld has transformed Lang from a hotheaded Southside gangster in his younger years to a refined business man who is willing to give opportunities to his friends and random people alike. He created a business conglomerate known as Cerberus alongside Dean Watson and Leslie Lingberg, which eventually came to own half of the city's businesses, such as the National Paintball Association, Rooster's Rest, Premium Deluxe Motorsport, and Burger Shot. Unlike rich men in the real world, Lang and the rest of Cerberus like to help out the little guys around them.
===Personality & Appearance===
Lang is a severe-looking Chinese man with a short temper. He is quick-witted and often uses humor to disarm his interlocutors. He exhibits narcissistic behavior and demands respect from nearly everyone he interacts with.
He maintains a complex social graph that includes highly illegal criminal organizations as well as high profile business circles. This makes Buddha secretive and paranoid in nature, and as a result, he is a skilled liar and storyteller. Lang is also known for his improvisation skills, always keeping his enemies on their toes when it comes to anything and everything. He is also known for his ability to gaslight, and his relentless intentions to stir up drama for the fun of it.

==Events==
Early Life & Los Santos
February 2021 - Early Life & Los Santos
Lang Buddha was born in China. His grandfather was the head of a Chinese Triad who died after becoming sick. Buddha was intended to take over as the leader, but the Triad didn't consider him ready. His grandmother attempted to take his place instead, but the Triad felt that she would become too powerful and also did not want a woman as their leader.
After being excommunicated, Buddha and his grandmother moved to Grove Street in Los Santos.
Buddha became a taxi driver and met Avon Barksdale, which led to him becoming a founding member of the Leanbois.
Rooster's Rest
March 2021 - Rooster's Rest
Buddha opened a restaurant, Rooster's Rest, to sell tea and ramen and to host social events at the establishment. He initially hired Petunia Brookshire as CEO who was then replaced with Penelope Farthing who is the current CEO of the business. He would remain the owner and brought in Humberto Antonio Donato Pecorino to be the co-owner. 
Rooster's Ranch & Reef
The Rooster's Reef is a legal Marijuana dispensary owned by Lang Buddha. They currently operate out of booths from Deans World and the Andi Jones Farmers Market selling custom Marijuana products. The business has two grow locations one of which is located inside the Nudist Colony which is now named - Rooster's Ranch and a second location on a plot of farmland just off Senora Freeway opposite Grapeseed. 
Lang Buddha has since handed full control of the business over to Eve Summers due to Lang not wanting to jeopardise the business if he was caught running Marijuana illegally. Lang frequently let's people know Eve is one of his best CEOs due to never having to micro manage her, hear about any drama or give him headaches.
Talon
March 2021 - Talon
Talon is a terrorist organization handed down from generation to generation through Buddha's lineage. The current incarnation of Talon is headquartered in the underground area hidden behind a false wall built into the basement of Rooster's Rest. The founding members are Lang Buddha, Ellie Dono, and Denzel Williams, who were join shortly after by Jacob Harth.
The main goal of Talon is to "give power back to the people" and reveal the corruption of the government of Los Santos.
Methamphetamine Production
June 2021 - Methamphetamine Production
Buddha and the Cleanbois and members of The Guild were some of the first people to produce meth. Their first successful batch of meth cured to 82%. Guild Member Gloryon was able to optimize the meth to 100%. After a partnership with the Ballas, Buddha switched to working with his best friend Speedy and the Vagos, a close ally of Lang's since his days in the Southside. Buddha has also started to distribute himself alongside the help of CB, as large exports have become available in the city. Buddha has since sold his key to Speedy and the Vagos, and they have taken over.
Cocaine Distribution
August 2021 - Cocaine Distribuion
Thanks to his old friend, Otto Delmar, Buddha and the Cleanbois were able to gain codes to give them access to cocaine in the city. Their coke team is known as the Clean Cartel. They have a legal front known as the Stratum Knights Investments, and disguise their coke sales as cryptocurrency. Buddha serves as the man in the background, allowing Mickey S to shine through as the head of the company. Mickey, Buddha and company have not ran into much trouble with the company as of yet, but Buddha and Mickey purposely are not covering their tracks super well, and believe that the company will crash and burn in the near future.
Burger Shot Murder
September 2021 - Burger Shot Murder
Lang Buddha, Tony Corleone, Mickey S & Raymond Romanov made their way to Burger Shot to pick up food. Lang Buddha entered Burger Shot soon followed by Raymond Romanov and then Tony Corleone while Mickey S had stayed outside. Inside were two Correctional Officers waiting in line for their food, working behind the counter for Burger Shot was Hubcap Jones, Shelly Smith, Naomi Kent and other employees. As usual when placing an order at Burger Shot, Lang Buddha stresses that they don't double charge him as he hates having to pay twice on something that should just be counted as one order. An individual wearing a paper bag over his head who was serving Lang Buddha at the time tried to double charge him but Lang was having none of it exclaiming that "You will regret this" over and over to the employee. Moments later Lang Buddha pulls out his Diamondback Pistol and tells everyone working to put their hands up and not move. Lang then demands the employee wearing the paper bag go bring him free food else he'll blast Shelly in front of him. 
As Lang is about to leave two female employees speak up and one of them calls Lang a "Karen", Tony Corleone let's Lang know what was said and this results in Lang demanding to know who said it. Naomi Kent speaks up and tells Lang "do you need money, are you okay?" at that point Lang shoots Naomi twice in the head and proceeds to quickly leave Burger Shot. 
Naomi Kent was pronounced dead sometime later after the shooting. Lang Buddha finds out after Tony Corleone had received a phone call from Mel Rickenbacker telling him that Naomi had passed away. 
Nearly three weeks after the murder, Lang Buddha was apprehended and sentenced to the 9s for the murder after a failing to rob the Pacific Standard Bank. All properties owned by Lang were raided in an attempt to find the murder weapon, the Police Department found nothing of value but an expired practice laptop.
Metamorphine
November 2021 - Metamorphine
On November 13th, Lang was given a new strain of drug by Kitty Dream. After taking these drugs, he found himself in a bad trip; his decisions became irrational and his behaviour shifted drastically. 
Lang began to constantly check behind him, paranoia seeping into his veins. While in this state, he gave $3,500,000 to an employee at Rooster's rest.
Mayor of Los Santos
January 2023 - 7th Mayor of Los Santos
On January 18, 2023, Chief Judge Alan Crane announced that Lang won the election for Mayor of Los Santos. Inside of Dennis LaBarre City Hall, Mickey S and Judge Crane completed the peaceful transfer of power to Lang. Mickey gave Mayor Lang a "digital key to the city", and congratulated him. Lang's new Vice Mayor Emma Gaine trained him inside of the Mayor's Office. Afterward, Lang inherited ownership of every single business that Dean Watson owned after he got deported for failing to renew his visa, including the Diamond Casino and Resort, Cerberus Industries, Cerberus Industries Armory, Diamond Hand Credit, and P1. Lang also now co-owned Diamond Sports Book with Ramee El-Rahman.
In Lang's first mayoral term, he pushed the following priorities:
*Continuation of the state business grants program.
*The A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Act: Successfully passed legislation on March 1, 2023 to revoke state-funding for loans, mandating that loan companies such as Fast Loans and Diamond Hand Credit can only fund loans with their own private capital.
*Successfully updated the Storefront Regulations & Guidelines legislation on March 1, 2023 to create a task force to enforce strikes and penalties on storefronts violating the regulations, headed by a UPD High Command member appointed by the Mayor of Los Santos.
*The Bane Act legislation to allow Lifers to apply for parole and get released from jail.
*Sanctions on the Vinewood Police Department for issuing over 75 weed dispensary customer warrants.
*Enforcement of the anti-face mask laws.
*Passed the Aegis Authorization Act legislation to create a "public benefit corporation" for the government-related enforcement of civilian laws.
*Passed the Astronaut Certifications legislation on April 6, 2023 to authorize judges to grant a $50,000 astronaut license for individuals who completed the training program offered by Project Sinatra (Cerberus' space program).
Mayor Lang's crusade against Nicholas Simone and Simone Memorial Hospital sparked a civil war that forced the city (including Lang's own Vice-Presidents Eve Summers and Nancy Drew and son Yeager Demonblood) to choose between Lang vs. the Simones. The Chang Gang umbrella's hunt for Michael Simone led to all-out war between them and the gangs of the leaders they interrogated and tried to ocean dump, including Seaside, the HOA, and the Lost MC. During the heated campaign for a second mayoral term, Lang began trailing opposing candidate Osvaldo Pingafria in votes--but his campaign team and allies all rallied behind him in the final days of the election. On April 7, 2023, Chief Judge Alan Crane announced that Lang had won re-election against Osvaldo by only 79 votes. The next day, The Guild swore revenge on Nick for a drone airstrike of Icecrown Citadel. Lang denied his adopted son Yeager Demonblood's demand that Cerberus VP Nancy Drew turn over Nick's friend Bunny to The Guild. When Yeager shot Cerberus executive Lexi Law in front of Lang because she heard him mention Yeager's bench, Lang disowned Yeager and started referring to him by his government name "Kayn". Yeager left The Guild and turned Cayo Perico into its own Sovereign State named Sanguine Isle.
In Lang's second mayoral term, he pushed the following priorities:
*Convinced the Senate to increase the work receipts to $400 and to increase EMS and doctor pay.
*Transported Los Santos' first prototype space shuttle to the Project Sinatra launch site in Sandy Shores.
*Passed the Customs & Border Protection Act legislation to allow AEGIS to enforce import and export laws, as well as granting visas to outside citizens in order to be able to come to San Andreas.
*Passed legislation for AEGIS to grant exit visas for Sanguine Isle.
*Got the Astronaut Certification legislation updated to give Project Sinatra control over the astronaut certification rather than through judges. Legislation to outlaw trespassing at the launch site as terrorism.
*A "Medical Reform Act" for AEGIS to oversee the Los Santos Medical Group and a second medical group.
*Passed the San Andreas Gaming Control Act legislation which regulates lotteries and other games of chance in a "San Andreas Gaming Commission" created under AEGIS.
*Helped legislate the Restricting Undesireable Serial Targetings Act for harsher punishments against criminals who commit targeted violence against civilians and commercial entities.
Mayor Lang's second term erupted into violence when he feuded with Cleanboi Raymond Romanov and his R.U.S.T gang over breaking Lang's golden rule of keeping gang activity off of Rooster's Rest property. Although Lang had forgiven R.U.S.T member G Baby for parking a 9's van at Rooster's Rest that got raided by Randy Wrangler (due to Lang needing R.U.S.T's support in his re-election campaign), he wanted to punish Ray's adopted son Maxine Celsius for helping Kate Myles and R.U.S.T kidnap a Rooster's Rest customer who had bad-mouthed their gang. After banning R.U.S.T from Rooster's Rest, Lang, Harry Brown, and Speedy tranquilized Ray and Maxine at a Clean Manor meeting--but got gunned down in their secret tower area when R.U.S.T breached. Harry's son Zaceed Skengerton joined the gunfight, and fled with their illegal items to protect Lang's mayorship. The police ended up detcording the secret Clean Manor door to retrieve Lang, Harry, and Speedy. When R.U.S.T gave out free food in front of Rooster's Rest to undermine their business, Harry, Lang, and Denzel Williams rained helicopters onto one of the events. R.U.S.T captured them and Speedy, and Ray stole Speedy's bait key. Then when R.U.S.T tried to blow up Cerberus' parked cars at the CBC garage, Zaceed and Nancy Drew went down shooting at them with Lang. Lang used the mini-guns on his armored Deity car to shoot up Connell MacGregor, blowing up both him and his car. After Lang confirmed to Ray that he was dead to his family, Ray and R.U.S.T kidnapped both Deputy Mayors Nancy Drew and Eve Summers--but in the ensuing police chase, their car ran out of gas on the freeway. At least 20 people went down in the massive shootout that followed, including R.U.S.T, Air-1, Lang, Harry, Nancy, Eve, and several PD officers. Police Commissioner Sam Baas held R.U.S.T on an investigative hold and authorized Class-2 SCARs to raid them. The Unified Police Department/3.0 held R.U.S.T until trial and charged them with Coop's Law--seeking a 5 million dollar fine from Ray and 1 to 2.5 million dollars each for the rest of R.U.S.T. Before their bail hearing, Tony Corleone planted a spy camera in Bolingbroke Penitentiary visitation where Ray and Achez "Ace" Perez were talking with their two lawyers (Grace Daniels and Maya Mahmoud), Cassie Miller, and Nana. An unmasked Harry impulsively walked in and gunned all four visitors down with an AK. After R.U.S.T got bail, they got into another gunfight with Lang, Harry, Denzel, Speedy, and Zaceed at UwU Café, which almost cost Lang his mayorship and resulted in Zaceed being the only one getting a 24-hour hold (for using a hot gun with two murders on it). In the final days of his mayorship, Lang made sure to push for more punitive legislation to deter repeated targeted attacks on civilians and their businesses (which ultimately resulted in the "Restricting Undesireable Serial Targetings Act" being entered into legislation). Ex-police lieutenant Sexton "Hardcastle" Cohen succeeded Lang as the Mayor of Los Santos on June 10, 2023.
Cerberus Retirement
21st September 2023 - Lang Announces His Retirement From Cerberus
On the 21st September 2023, Lang Buddha and Leslie Lingberg were in attendance at the Cerberus Arena where a formal party to celebrate the promotions of Nancy Drew and Eve Summers to full co-owners of Cerberus. The following announcement by Lang came as a shock as he announced he was retiring from Cerberus effective immediately once he had received his exit package. Lang exit package consisted of originally $150,000,000 and a handful of companies aswell as other demands such as the removal of any and all Cerberus branding from the city. The following weeks, Lang grew impatient as he still hadn't received his retirement package and started to make threats towards members of the company via proxy through Eve Summers, Eve having been the only high up in the company around at the time had to endure Lang's anger and aggressiveness. It only got worse when Lang emptied the entirety of the Cerberus bank accounts, this happened not only once but twice. The second time he took the money and spread it inside Clean Manor is where he then burnt $40,000,000, it was only afterwards Lang finally received his exit package which amounted to $50,000,000 and three companies, Roosters Rest, Cerberus Industries and Cerberus Industries Armoury. However in spectactular Lang fashion he was swindled out of the $50,000,000 as Tim Collins wrote into the contract that he had already received it, meaning the $40,000,000 he burnt and the remaing $10,000,000 he aso partially burnt and buried was infact his money.
Since then Lang is still aggressive towards the company, he spies on every meeting via cameras or sending in Harry Brown to report back what was said.

==Relationships==
Leanbois
*Al Saab
:Buddha & Saab are both OG members of the Leanbois, they have a long history and they are like brothers.Buddha's relationship with Saab is pretty complicated at times due to the fact that they get into so many fights from time to time. There were also a few times when Buddha made fun of Saab because of his past murders and Saab didn't take it as a joke (Saab is pretty sensitive). Buddha likes to poke fun at Saab by accusing him of Jackie Hyde's murder despite him being the one to actually do the deed. When Saab was set up by Otto and wrongly accused and sent to prison, Buddha did everything he could to get Saab released. Despite their arguments, they both still have each others back at the end of the day.
:Saab had been missing for a majority of the city post economic reset, and though Buddha has made plenty of new friends, he still missed Saab a lot. However the circumstances behind Saab's return and his potential involvement with the "Dark Timelord" had made Lang wary of his long-lost brother. After waterboarding him in an attempt to make Saab reveal his true identity, Lang gave him a quest to "prove" he was indeed Al Saab and had him kidnap and kill a woman at the old light-house, in reference to Jackie Hyde's murder.
*Tony Corleone
:Tony is an OG member of the Leanbois. Lang and Tony have an brotherly relationship, and always have each other's back. Tony is Lang's most trusted confidant with everything, except money. Lang and Tony share all secrets and will go down for anything for each other.
*Ellie Dono
:From taxi crackhead to terrorist, Ellie has been at Lang’s side, as he acts almost like her older brother. She tends to follow him to the end of the world, whether right or wrong. Ellie is a member of the Leanbois and Talon, currently employed for the Rooster’s Rest.
*Denzel Williams
:After Denzel became a member of the Leanbois, he and Lang became extremely close. Their loyalty to each other would grow so much that Denzel became a founding member of Talon with Lang and Ellie. Even now, Denzel would burn the world down for Lang no matter what.
Cleanbois
*Donnie
:Though it seems like a love-hate relationship filled with bickering, Don and Lang have quickly built a strong relationship, co-owning the Rooster’s Rest together. They may mock each other and claim to bang the other’s mother, but they have a trusted relationship as Don knows about the hidden basement of the Rooster’s Rest, Talon’s headquarters. They often flirt with each other and try to make each other jealous by taking other people on dates. Lang confessed his love for Don on March 29, after Annie May was taken from the hospital.
*Nino Chavez
:A long time ago, Lang saw Nino as a mentor who taught him everything he knew as a criminal. After closing Sahara International, Nino is attempting to make a new empire, establishing Pegasus Concierge and becoming the CFO for the Rooster’s Rest. Lang has also shown Nino the hidden basement of the Rooster's Rest.
*Clayvon
:Clayvon came to town after Avon was admitted to a psychiatric facility knowing only three names: Tony Corleone, Lang Buddha, and Al Saab. Avon told Clayvon if he needed anything, his boys would be there to help. Since meeting Lang, Tony, and Saab, Clayvon quickly became a part of the family.
*Sven Snusberg
:Sven came to Los Santos years ago but disappeared without a trace. After Sven’s return to the city, Lang recognized a long-lost friend. Now, they’ve returned to their usual shenanigans to try and make some money.
*Yuno Sykk
:When Yuno came to city and was interviewed by Lando and given a janitor job at Roosters. He would never show up for it and was on Lang's bad side because of it. However, that all changed after he was brought to a bank job as a backup hacker and after Lang and Ray both failed the hack, Yuno did the hack without any prior experience. After Donnie left town, and Nino started to lay low, Yuno was brought along to become a mainstay in Lang's inner circle. Lang and company started to bring Yuno to every job, where he would successfully hit everything from laptops to thermite. Lang enjoys having him around, as Yuno is ready to get into stupid situations and is a positive force to have around.
*Raymond Romanov
:Ray was originally brought to Nino by Donnie to be part of Pegasus before it went defunct after Miles's murder conviction. Ray would slowly gain the respect of both the people in and out of the group and make his name in the city as a newbie criminal. Unlike the rest of his group, Ray is a giant perfectionist, and it annoys Lang sometimes. Ray can also come across as cocky, acting like he knows more about the city than Lang and Tony. However, he is still extremely valued for his ability to deliver in a pinch. He risks everything to save Lang and company, and he will shoot if he has to save his friends. He has become a mainstay in the Cleanbois line-up alongside Yuno. He used to have the ability to stay on task for an extremely long time, unlike the rest of the group, but since boosting became a thing, his ACDC has grow wildly and he has started interrupting conversations constantly to announce what boost contract he has just gotten.
*Mickey S
:Lang's early interactions with Mickey in Los Santos where as the newcomer had joined the infamous Chang Gang. Their interactions were mostly cordial doing spare jobs here and there, and Lang has mentioned he met Mickey long ago during his time in the Rust Belt. Reminiscing about the "good old times" they decided to bring back the members of their rag-tag group together for a "Team Rocket" heist that evolved into the legendary "Rainbow Road Heist". Upon Mickey leaving Chang Gang he was easily welcomed into the Clean Manor and often joined the crew for impromptu heists and getaways, ultimately establishing himself as the crew's getaway planner. His time with Lang has sparkled Mickey's interest in business becoming the figurehead of their Coke Operation under Lang's mentorship.
*Jean Paul
:Also known as X, has been one of Buddha's trustworthy brothers since the Rust Island Era and was his right-hand man at Team Rocket. Lang shows much respect towards Jean-Paul for how fantastic a criminal mastermind and pioneer he is. They both have a deep hatred for the cops. They have tagged along on many Bank Heists, such as achieving the Rainbow Road, and participated in massive shootouts against the cops. Although being a smart-minded person, he always goes along with X's plans even if they sound "Batshit Crazy." Lang loves him because X is one of the few people to draw out his crazy side, which he doesn't tap into it as much as before. Lang is X's closest friend in the Cleanbois and maybe the entire city, which is a big deal as respect from X is hard to gain.
Cerberus
*Harry Brown
:Harry Brown and Lang had known each other for a very long time, but their relationship in 3.0 began when Harry had become apart of Pegasus Concierge under Nino Chavez. He began working security for The Rooster's Rest and assisting in the overlook for Lang's meth op, establishing a level of trust between the two as well as a business relationship. Once the weed game sprung up, Lang decided to create a team of people to make money under the Rooster name, one of which was Brown. He provided much needed security to the ranch, and after some time, Lang decided to trust Harry with basically running the business. He did this very well, creating a very impressive team of employees for the ranch and having it run smoothly. The two started to hang out more often because of their shared business and Lang got to know Harry on a more personal level. He became witness to how down bad he always is (earning him the name "down bad Larry"), and his addiction to collectable toys, which lead them to do "toy heists" together. Lang now considers Harry not only his right-hand man, but also his best friend. They now spend tons of time together, whether it be illegal weed runs, listening to the "Sheldon Song" when they're down bad, or just chilling. Harry has also been shown the basement of Rooster's Rest, a true testament of Lang's trust in Harry.
*Dean Watson
:Lang originally knew Dean as the owner of the Burgershot, briefly interacting with him during the Roosters altercations with the food joint. Dean and Lang grew closer over time after the discovery of abandoned meth labs in the city and the Casino Shootout incident, bonding over their desire to bring changes to the way the city is run. This eventually led to Lang joining Cerberus, which helped built Lang's relationship with Leslie Lingberg. As Dean started showing interest in indulging in more and more criminal activities, Lang has often made it his priority to keep the millionaire out of the law's hands. During Dean's month long warrant and his vendetta against Lt. Alex Casterman Lang and company would often risk everything to make sure Dean would be able to escape the police while at the same time attempt to get their hands on Casterman so Dean could enact his revenge.
*Leslie Lingberg
:The owner of PDM and one of Lang's' best friends. The two used to hate each other but their relationship grew as they became business partners, and then best friends who look out for each other. The two own half of the city's businesses, and are always looking to give purpose to people who are otherwise lost in the city. Both Leslie and Lang have used their money to benefit others through Cerberus and their various businesses.
*Eve Summers
:Eve's been a long time business associate of Lang's, from her humble beginning at the Ranch to working at Roosters Rest to eventually joining Cerberus to assist in renting out office space at the Cerberus Business Center. Eve has since worked her way up the corporate ladder to obtain the position of VP Of Operations granting her a seat at the table alongside the three heads of Cerberus. As of more recently she alongisde Nancy Drew were made official shareholders/part-owners of Cerberus, Eve currently owns Lang's 33% stake in Cerberus making her one of if not the most powerful woman in the city. Their relationship has had it's fair share of rocky moments but has also had a lot of positive one's the highlight being Langs first term as Mayor of Los Santos. Lang and Eve would spend almost every day together just brainstorming about business, the city and what they could achieve during the Mayor term. Eve was also one of the first people Lang reached out to to asist with helping produce and manufacture Heroin, something she still does to this day alongside Alexandra Yang, Johnny Sinatra and Lang's son Dewey. While Lang will never admit it, he has a caring love for Eve that resembles a parental figure and wishes nothing but the best for her in life. Eve also consider Lang a father figure.
Others
*Speedy
:Years ago, Lang and Speedy were in rival gangs, doing drive-bys over weed seeds, but after saving his life from the cops, Speedy and Lang became best friends. To this day, Speedy and Lang maintain their love for each other.
*Jacob Harth
:Jacob and Lang have worked together on several underground operations, specifically the Dark Web and drugs. When Lang was establishing Talon, Jacob became involved with the organization to utilize his technical skills and creeper abilities. As brothers in Talon, Jacob and Lang have extreme trust in one another.
*Mr. K
:Both leaders of the biggest criminal syndicates in Los Santos, Lang and K have a lot of mutual respect for each other. Tensions have run high between the two, as wars have been fought between Lang and K before the economic collapse. However, the two gangs have also worked very well together. Cleanbois and Chang Gang have fought off African warlords together, and have done many jobs with each other. Lang and K always say good words about each other and how they and their gangs operate even though CB and CG operate very differently
*Ramee El-Rahman
:A member of Chang Gang, Ramee and Buddha have always gotten along very well due to having similar personalities. Both are huge basketball fans and constantly banter about how the Celtics and Raptors suck because of rivalries. Ramee and Buddha are also both known for being a little dumb, horrible drivers, and doing the craziest things out of nowhere. When Lang and Ramee group up, something crazy always goes down.
*Sam Baas
:Before the economic collapse, Baas was a prime target of Talon. Talon had tortured Baas in the underground bunker located in Grapeseed. After the rise of the new city, Buddha and Baas had mutual respect for each other, Buddha saw Baas as someone who was good at his job and actually wanted to protect the city. That changed after Baas had tortured Meowfurrion. Meowfurrion was never the same after that day and was ready to snitch out the Rooster empire, eventually leading to Buddha and the Guild murdering him. Baas and Buddha have always been adversaries after that day, and Buddha always messes with Baas as he can never catch Buddha. However, deep down, there is mutual respect between the two of them. After all the corrupt deeds Baas has done, Buddha still respected the fact that Baas was made Chief of the LSPD.
*Kyle Pred
:Unlike Baas, Lang holds no respect for Pred, calling him a "soyboy man child" on various occassions. Confrontations between the two usually end up in a screaming match as Pred usually yells when he has no comeback. Lang is deemed one of Pred's main targets, as he has used various means of trying to take down Lang and his empire. These investigations usually have gone nowhere, and Lang has stayed on top, while Pred tries to find another opportunity to take down Lang. Terrorism has been launched against Lang, and Pred has sat there and done nothing about it.
