== History ==
=== Beginnings in Los Santos ===
Karpal moved to Los Santos Aug 2018 and made his entrance fairly innocently. He rides around on his bike and performs tricks to various people while looking for work. He manages to make enemies of a gang by the name of "The Strokers", running a vehicle repair shop that he regularly passes by. Whenever he crosses them he makes an effort to hurl insults at them every chance he can get. Being their enemy he finds an ally in a nearby biker gang who runs a rival biker shop. There after making a bad first impression he eventually befriends a biker named Rudi Rinsen.Archived VOD Aug 11th 2018
=== Job searching and stand-up comedy ===

The Towers run a truck towing business and consists of "pappy" Fuzzy (portrayed by valco) and his son Rusty (portrayed by JorRilla). He tries his luck in the towing business but eventually gives up.Archived VOD Aug 15th 2018
By random chance event he meets a local comedian Angie Essketit (portrayed by Jayce) who finds him funny and offers him a job as a stand-up comedian after attending a talent show.

Aside from Angie he also meets Judd Lincoln.
=== Death of The Tower family and fall to crime ===
Some time later in an unfortunate car accident every member of the Tower family dies. Karpal is thrown out of the wreck before the resulting impact and vehicle fire escapes with his life intact suffering only from burns. He wakes up after a coma in the hospital stricken with guilt. This time the audience meets much more somber Karpal, not really prone to make jokes any longer. Attempting to do stand-up again fails and he embarks on a very different path, doing burglaries around the city of Los Santos. He is nearly caught by cops but manages to evade them multiple times by hiding in the bushes.Archived VOD Aug 27th 2018
In some strange way he seems to somehow manage to befriend a member of the Blaine County Sheriff's Office namely Travis Tribble, possibly by snitching on other criminals to him.
=== Meeting P.I. Jackie Levi ===
Between doing robberies he is caught up by a private investigator, a detective named Jackie Levi looking for the missing Tower Family. Thinking that the detective is looking to arrest him he pulls a gun on him, holding it towards his head with him kneeling before him at gunpoint. As he is about to shoot he is convinced to put down his weapon as Jackie explained that the accident wasn't his fault. The detective chooses to look the other way and instead offers Karpal to tag along on his job in exchange for minimal pay.
Things do not go as planned as The P.I. gets captured by the biker gang led by Rudi Rinsen - who ironically is Karpal's friend - and after some turmoil blame Jackie and execute him. Karpal spends time looking for Jackie after his disappearance but eventually gives up.
The story of Karpal comes to a seeming abrupt end when he is attacked by a gang wielding machetes. He runs from them to his hotel room, grabs his gun and proceeds to fire at them.
