## Biography

Isaiah Chambers was born April 20th, 1940 in King County, Washington. His parents were two South African Immigrants from the Kingdom of Lesotho (formerly known as Basutoland), who illegally fled to America not long after the start of World War II, fearing that their then-colonized nation would be caught in the crossfire of what was becoming a global crisis. His parents arrived in the country only a month before Isaiah was born, ultimately settling in King County, Washington, where Isaiah's father was able to secure a position at the local Mammoth plant. During the height of World War II and the Cold War, Isaiah's father was able to climb the ladder of Mammoth's hierarchy thanks to his degree in Aerospace Engineering, and his yes-man, suck-up personality. This allowed his father to successfully provide for his family, giving Isaiah a decent childhood growing up.

Growing up, Isaiah's parents quickly realized that he had inherited his parent's intelligence and forced him to put all his time and focus into his academics. Despite being a black man in America prior to the Civil Rights Movement, his intelligence allowed him to excel in school - much to the dismay of the white students and teachers - and eventually get into University. He later graduated with a Master's in Engineering and Physics. Thanks to the civil rights movement and the contacts his father made during his time at Mammoth, Isaiah was able to secure a position at Mammoth, working on contracts for the US Department of Defense. It was his job at Mammoth that allowed him to avoid being drafted for the Vietnam war.

While working for Mammoth and the Department of Defense, Isaiah met Zofia Dziedzic at a concert in Liberty City. Zofia's parents, in addition to much of her family, had immigrated to the U.S and Canada from Poland a month before the Nazis invaded in 1939, after having learned of Hitler's plans from a friend in Germany. The two quickly connected after realizing how much they had in common, and eventually started dating. The two got married a couple of years later after the U.S had pulled its troops from Vietnam. At the beginning of their relationship, Zofia's parents mostly supported the relationship as Isaiah and his family had proved themselves worthy of their respect - their only grievance was him not being Polish. However, Zofia's parents would later go onto blame Isaiah of ruining their daughter's life.

A couple of years after the US left Vietnam, Mammoth dismissed Isaiah citing alleged espionage and treason. Upon further investigation, Isaiah learned it was simply a result of his new superior's prejudice beliefs, in addition to a culture of racism existing in the Department of Defense and Mammoth. Many of his white coworkers and superiors simply could not handle being below and less-intelligent than a black man, and so they brought up baseless accusations in order to rid him from the company and bar him from ever getting another job in the sector. These accusations prompted an investigation into Isaiah and his family, but were dismissed by the end of the decade after his father had some of his former government contacts testify on their behalf. However, these accusations never left his record and he was publicly considered a traitor and a spy. Soon after the investigation was closed, Isaiah's father passed from Colon Cancer, something he had kept hidden from his family until weeks prior to his death. Because of the investigation and accusations, however, the Chambers family had drained their entire savings and lost their homes, leaving Isaiah and his mother with nothing. Soon after his father's death, Isaiah's mother committed suicide - likely a result of losing her husband and their life's work.

After the death of his parents and losing everything, Isaiah fell off the face of the Earth. Zofia and her family had thought he had committed suicide as well, but he resurfaced nearly two later in mid-late 1983. However, he was now going by the alias Darryl King in order to avoid government surveillance and public scrutiny. During his disappearance, Isaiah found himself in Vice City, exposing himself to the grit, glitz, and glamour of the tropical Floridian city in hopes that it would be good for him. While he was there, however, he wound up bouncing back and forth between night clubs and run-down motel rooms, quickly developing a substance abuse problem and a sex addiction to help drown out his thoughts, numb his pain, and get a much needed dose of dopamine. After some time, he ended up meeting the seemingly innocent and recently married Hannah Vance at the Malibu Club. While originally only promising to buy her a couple of drinks at the bar, the two eventually settled back in her hotel room for what would turn into a one night stand. The pair quickly parted ways in the morning, barely a blink in time in his eye, but she wound up pregnant and eventually gave birth to her only child: her daughter, Alyxandra Vance. Hannah kept this a secret from her husband and eventually convinced him that their daughter was conceived before he'd left on a business trip to Seattle. Hannah, and by association, Alyx, would be unaware that Isaiah, known as Darryl to her, eventually conceived 3 more children with his wife - who remained unaware of much what he got up to during his disappearance.

Upon his return into Zofia's life, Isaiah lured her into a lifestyle of partying and substance abuse - two things which he had taken up to numb himself from the pain. Eventually, the two found themselves in Carcer City as the rent was cheap and drugs were easy to come by. During this time, Zofia gave birth to two sons: Jaxton Chambers and Peter Chambers. Soon after the birth of his second son, in 1984, Isaiah found himself in trouble with a local gang and committed several felonies, causing the Chambers family to flee to Liberty City where they rented a place in Bohan using money Zofia's parents had given her as a baby gift. During this time, Isaiah had taken on a new alias to avoid being caught for the crimes he committed in Carcer City. This time, he went by the name Denzel Chambers. Over the years, the Chambers family permanently settled down in Bohan and Isaiah fell into drug dealing to pay the rent and buy him and Zofia drugs after Zofia's parents had cut off support payments - taking to only buying things for the children themselves.

After his sons Peter and Jaxton had left the family once Peter graduated, it is unknown what became of Isaiah as Zofia had taken off with their daughter to save themselves from his wrath. It is assumed he is alive, potentially in a whorehouse or drug den and using another new alias, but it has not been confirmed.

## Personality

Before tragedy struck Isaiah's life and sent him spiraling, he was a respected and polite man - seeming more like a middle-class white man than the stereotypical black man. After the death of his parents and the loss of his livelihood, however, a new man emerged - one who was a mentally unstable ticking time bomb. He became short tempered, filled with rage, and wildly abusive. He became addicted to drowning himself in booze and alcohol, and could easily be tempted into a fight at the slightest bit of agitation. He frequently took out his troubles on his children in the form of abuse, mostly his middle child Peter as his eldest, Jaxton, had learned to fight back and he couldn't bring himself to abuse his youngest daughter Eliza. His children do not consider him to be a good man, and frequently refer to him as a deadbeat piece of shit who their mother should have left long before they had a chance to be born.
