## Biography

### Backstory

Dario is a Croat who was born in Bosnia & Herzegovina in the early 2000's. Little is known about his life in Europe, but it is known that Dario's mother had a strong motivation to ensure that her son studies in a prestigious educational institution abroad. At some point, Dario was accepted into Switzerland College in Los Santos, and the mother paid a lot of money in order for Dario to learn at the college and also have his own house nearby in the city. Dario's family, however, was not very rich which is indicated by the fact that Dario was forced to go to Los Santos in a cargo ship run by shady sailors to save some money.

### Events of Dario Stories

#### Chapter 1

After Dario arrives to Los Santos Docks, the sailors accompanying him attack Dario for insulting their ship. After escaping, Dario steals a vehicle and arrives at his new house in Jefferson, visibly disappointed with it's quality. During this, he meets Nicolas for the first time and then beats up a woman who appears to be the real owner of the car.

Some time later Dario arrives to Switzerland College and is fully processed by Principal Walter, officially becoming a student. He attends his first class in Classroom 8D where he meets Teacher and other students, including the KCO group. Dario then attends DYOM Class and makes a diss mission pack about Mr. TongWah during the exam. The same day later, he finds himself in the college's lunch area where he meets Chris and becomes a part of his gang. After this, Dario is tasked to rob AznKei's house, a job in which he succeeds by stealing AznKei's YouTube money, earning him a cut.

Following Dario's first days in the college, he and many other students find themselves in PE class headed by Rudy. This is where Dario provokes a conflict with Laucube which results in them fighting eachother in the ring, resulting in Laucube as the victor. Some time later Dario and Chris talking about the need to rob another house, claiming that AznKei's was not enough, all while Tong and AznKei were secretly listening to the conversation.

Later that day rumors spread that there will be a party in Grove Street with most of the college's students attending, so AznKei decides to go there and confront Dario about his stolen YouTube money. AznKei and Dario get into a fight and this results in Dario getting beat up again, but shortly after this and very unexpectedly, Chris' girlfriend appears in the scene and identifies Dario as the one who beat her up shortly after he arrived to Los Santos. This enrages Chris who immediately attempts to kill Dario with the help of his gang. Dario, however, escapes the attack and is found and saved by Nicolas in the same neighborhood. They both come back to their homes only to find them burned down by Chris' men. Nicolas insists that him and Dario should leave the city for his cousin's farm where they can temporarely reside, so they leave Los Santos.

The first night at the farm Dario and Nicolas have sexual intercourse for the first time, strenghtening their relationship. The following day, Dario decides to get revenge on Chris and KCO. They return to Los Santos where Dario instructs Nicolas to steal AznKei's YouTube money delivery van, a task which Nicolas succeeds in. Shortly after, Dario goes back to the boat on which he arrived on to make a deal with the sailors, having them kidnap KCO and other students for AznKei's money.

The next day, Dario and the sailors ambush Teacher's student group on a bridge in Shady Creeks. Dario kidnaps AznKei and TongWah, leaving the scene before Geddy and Mario could counter-ambush him. Dario takes AznKei and TongWah to San Fierro.

#### Chapter 2

Dario and Nicolas take refuge in an abondoned warehouse where they intend to torture AznKei and TongWah. Nicolas attempts to gain access to AznKei's channel to delete videos and do other kinds of harm to it. During this, Dario ventures to a nearby construction site and kills several workers there, successfully acquiring tools to torture TongWah with. After coming back, Dario uses a shovel to injure TongWah while the latter is tied up.

Nicolas and Dario gain access to AznKei's YouTube channel the next day and are about to delete videos on it. Before doing so, they decide to get some food first and, while out in town, they accidentally run into Detective Norris who is investigating the AznKei related robberies. After tailing the detective back to the police department, Dario plants a bomb in the detective's car and kills him from a distance. He then returns to the wreck and gets Norris' severed hand, afterwards returning it to the warehouse to intimidate Tong and AznKei.

The following day, Dario and Nicolas conclude that they need more allies. They venture to the Gaydar Station - a gay club where they meet Bukas The Cringelord who appears to have an authority over a lot of militant gay followers. After driving around the neighborhood and inviting a lot of them into the Gaydar Station, Dario and Nicolas use this as an opportunity to freestyle a diss track about KCO on stage, which leads to Bukas and the gay gang joining forces with the pair.

A surprise assault by KCO and Detective Lionel on the warehouse the next day catches Dario off guard, but him and Nicolas successfully use the gay gang to defend the warehouse while the pair of them safely escape alongside Bukas via helicopter. The abondonment of the warehouse, however, leads to Tong's and AznKei's freedom from captivity, after which Kovas' group prepare to leave San Fierro and return to college.

Not long after escaping the battle, Dario, Nicolas and Bukas seize another warehouse at an unknown location. At some point after this, the group manages to kidnap Martin Strada and Teacher who are attendees of Switzerland College and both of whom have a close relationship with KCO. Before Kovas' group could leave San Fierro, Dario used this to lure Kovas' group to a ranch where they located and reviewed a tape in which Dario and Nicolas both mercilessly kill Martin and Teacher, provoking KCO into an indefinitely long war.

#### Chapter 3

A few days after the death of Martin and Teacher, Dario and Nicholas find themselves back at Switzerland College in Los Santos where they plan to steal back Dario's DYOM missions disrespecting TongWah and then frame KCO against the state. Dario alone infiltrates the college and makes his way past many guards who are patrolling after hours. More guards unexpectedly arrive which forces Dario to hide in the bathroom where he runs into Chris. The latter attacks Dario immediately, holding him down and forcing his head into the toilet in a humiliating fashion, then injuring Dario with his own knife moments before leaving. Dario also finds Spyder in the same bathroom and shares his contact info with him. After this, Dario steals back the missions and escapes with Bukas who just came back after being defeated in a gunfight against KCO during Martin's and Teacher's funeral.

Some time later Dario and Nicholas begin falsifying evidence by secretly collecting photos of KCO members hanging out around town. After they get pictures of most of them, they both return to Cletus' farm where they change into new outfits, befitting their new warpath. Dario then returns to Los Santos and finds Spyder, tasking him to find Lionel and direct him to Vinewood where Dario has planned to showcase his falsifying evidence. KCO appears to be hanging out in the tennis court in Vinewood and, after Lionel's arrival, Dario uses the opportunity and highlights his framing images against KCO on huge billboards. This proves to be a success, resulting in Lionel and the police turning against Kovas & Company, forcing the group to fight off and kill several police officers and escape from town. After this successful mission, Dario and Nicholas both have sex in an undisclosed location.

After KCO retrieves the tape recording which shows the murder of Martin and Teacher from the ranch in Tierra Robada, Dario and Bukas order a cringedeviant hit squad to ambush and kill Kovas and AznKei on a nearby bridge in the area. However, the attack fails as Laucube and Tong both arrive in time to support Kovas and AznKei in the firefight, resulting in cringedeviant defeat. The failure of the attack forces Dario to act with a different strategy, this time by tasking Bukas to personally go to the hideout and eliminate KCO altogether with a Hunter attack helicopter.

The next day, Dario decides to eliminate Geddy and Mario who did not fall victim to Dario's falsifying evidence. He and Nicholas meet Spyder at the airport in Los Santos where Dario tasks Spyder to fly to San Fierro and kill them. During Spyder's flight, Bukas attacks KCO at the hideout with the Hunter. The attack also fails and Dario backs down from any further directs attacks on Kovas & Company within the near future. However, Spyder successfully manages to infiltrate Mario's garage, killing him but failing to kill Geddy who was not there at the time, leaving Spyder with a partially completed mission.

After a while, Dario is seen back at Vinewood announcing his new mission series to several DYOM designers. This, however, is met with a rather critical response as the designer community labels him a tryhard. Designers KennKielz, GoldenWolf and Hernandez17 criticize Dario for his antics moments before Seygull and Razor arrive with a projector and showcase counter-evidence against Dario in the form of various comments and posts which expose Dario's real intentions. Lionel, who was present in the area, attempts to arrest Dario but the latter escapes the scene with Nicholas in his car. KCO, however, follow him all the way to Las Venturas amid a serious attack by the cringedeviants. After their arrival to the city, Spyder uses precise timing to block the road with a truck right between Nicholas' car and that of KCO, resulting in Dario and Nicholas successfully escaping the group.

#### Chapter 4

Dario appears in a flashback taking place in Cletus' farm during their first arrival there after their houses were burned by Chris. Dario is up at night and contemplates about having his revenge, which is where he makes his the decision to go to war with Kovas & Company.

Forwarding back to real time after the flashback, Dario appears near Caligulas Casino in Las Venturas alongside Nicholas, Bukas and the remaining Cringedeviants and Gay Gang members. After some arguing, Dario plans to take over Caligulas Casino and tasks Nicholas to infiltrate it from within. After Nicholas locates and secures the control room, Dario, Bukas and the rest enter a firefight with the remaining security guards inside the building, swiftly defeating them and taking over the casino. Dario then explains the plan to wait for KCO and Lionel to find and enter the casino where they would be lured into a trap and killed, which would relieve Dario, Nicholas and Bukas of all significant witnesses.

    During the following few days Kovas & Company successfully cripple Dario's organization by forcing Spyder to leave the state and by killing Bukas. Dario's and Nicholas' location is revealed in the process, which in turn leads to Lionel and the police mounting an assault on Caligulas Casino afterwards. KCO also join the attack by infiltrating the casino from behind. All of the casino's defences are eventually destroyed, meanwhile Dario and Nicholas have their final romantic moment in a casino penthouse where they decide to fight to the end together. KCO eventually breaches the penthouse and the two sides fight toe-to-toe, leaving Dario and Nicholas defeated. However, right before Dario is taken into custody with Nicholas, a cringedeviant ambushes the hallway with a rocket launcher, giving an opportunity for Dario to escape to the rooftop. Eventually KCO catch up to Dario on the roof and subjugate him where they have their final words with eachother. Afterwards Dario and Nicholas are both arrested and taken into police custody.

The following day a court takes place with Dario as the defendant, Percus as his lawyer and PatrickW as the judge. The hearing is attended by most of Dario's former associates and adversaries, including Kovas & Company. Several testimonies are heard from Walter, Seygull, Chris and his girlfriend and, after Patrick consults with other DYOM designers, Dario is found guilty of all charges and sentenced to a life term in a mental assylum in Bosnia.

In the same evening Dario is escorted by Lionel, police and KCO back into the ship on which Dario arrived to Los Santos. Shortly after KCO make fun of him for the last time, Dario promises that this is not the last time they will see eachother. The ship then leaves Los Santos and sets sail back to Bosnia.
