Murphy Braun

Murphy Braun is a character role-played by voiceID.
==Description==
Murphy Braun is a lawyer within the Department of Justice and current Head of the BAR Association for the City Council. He was formerly a judge. He is also a chain-holding member of Chang Gang, and is their favored legal representation during court cases and interrogations.
=== Appearance ===
Murphy has dark brown hair, usually cut in a "JFK" style. He has many tattoos on his body, notably two on his neck. He prefers to wear suits often, and when he isn't, he is usually wearing a leather jacket or a "band t-shirt fit". He always wears sunglasses, even indoors and at night.
===Personality===
Murphy generally has a short-temper with everyone. The only recent exceptions has been with April, her sister January, and some of their friends.
According to Murphy, there are only two things that motivate him: love and revenge.
== Backstory ==
Murphy has been a lawyer for many years, with some breaks; there was a moment in time when he resorted to a dependency on alcohol and was known as the "town's drunk" due to the pressure that being a lawyer gave him.
As a judge, Murphy had to wrestle with both a messy divorce from his ex-wife, Siobhan Fitzpatrick, as well as legal issues after Jean Paul planted a police-issued gun on him. Additionally, Murphy started dating April Fooze, a relationship that has been largely healthy but has created entirely new types of problems for him to deal with.
Murphy ran for City Council as Head of the BAR Association. After tying for the most votes with Serge Cross, a runoff election was held, in which Murphy won 14-9. Assuming the new role required leaving his judicial seat, and he has returned to working as a criminal defense attorney.
Besides his DOJ work, Murphy has been investing both funds and time in events for the city, such as concerts and filming reality TV shows. He also periodically does Gruppe 6 work with people like his friend Link Winters.
==Relationships==
=== Family ===
Ceara (Daughter)
Murphy's five-year-old daughter with his ex-wife Siobhan. She currently lives and goes to school in Ireland.
=== Partners ===
April Fooze (Girlfriend)
Murphy first met April while they were both chain-holders of Chang Gang, when April paid him for a retainer as lawyer during her legal troubles in the Joe Goldberg arc. Murphy later became interested in her, but after she left the city for an indefinite break, he ended up dating and marrying Siobhan Fitzpatrick instead. After her return to the city following the economic collapse, and his divorce, the pair reconnected and eventually started dating.
Even though both Murphy and April can be considered toxic most of the time, they haven't had any serious conflicts between each other outside of occasional petty jealousies. However, as their relationship has become more public, it has been subject to increasing interference from others, especially in regards to the $140,000 car that Murphy bought for April.
Siobhan Fitzpatrick (Ex-wife)
After April left Los Santos, Murphy began dating and then married Siobhan. They eventually had a child, Ceara.
Eventually after returning to the city, Murphy and Siobhan went through a messy, heated divorce. They remained on bad terms, made worse by Siobhan eventually marrying the new mayor, Maximilian Thoroughbred, and then becoming Chief of Staff, giving her considerable power over Murphy at City Hall.
By the time of campaigning for the next City Council elections, tensions cooled between the two as Murphy, Siobhan, and Max formed an alliance to lobby for votes for Max's mayoral re-election and Murphy's campaign for head of the BAR Association.
