## Background

Robert Murray is a man trying to make his way through Los Santos after his parents sent him away from the rough life he grew up around in Liberty City.

## History

Roberto, or Robert, Murray was born in Algonquin, Liberty City. His parents moved from Napoli to Algonquin in Liberty City a few years before he was born. Originally having the surname "Muratori", the name changed to "Murray" by the Immigration Authority to make their name "easier to pronounce" and more "Americanized."

At a young age, the many faces and elements in and around Little Italy shaped Roberto's worldview. He wanted to have all the nice clothes and cars that the wiseguys in town had. When Roberto walked past them, or witnessed them talk and do "business", they exuded the confidence and respect he desired amongst his peers.

As he got older, Robert and some of his friends from the neighborhood would pull small jobs like stealing cars, burglaries, and small-time stick-up jobs. His parents seeing that he was with the wrong crowd decided to send him away for college. Robert would move down to Los Santos to study at the local university. He'd maintain average grades while attending school, earning him a two-year chemistry degree with a minor in neuroscience. He spent a lot of time mingling and partying, even doing petty thievery along the way. He even made sure to go to the city hall and changed his last name back to Muratori so he can honor his heritage and his family.

## Life in Los Santos

### Taxis and Armed Robberies

When arriving in the city, Robert attempted to find work to get on his feet. He reached out to Dr. Typical about being a cab driver at Downtown Cab Co. and got hired right after his interview. Once he was about a week into his job, he decided that he wasn't cut out for the life of taxi service and decided to part ways. Needing cash, he resorted to what he knows best: Thievery. Robert began making his way across several hotspots across the city, including the Warehouse, the Pier and the Vanilla Unicorn.

Along with breaking into locals cars, Robert pursued armed robberies around Los Santos and Blaine County. He learned how to get away with his jobs, often taking burner cars, going along alternate routes rather than major highways, concealing his entire body and voice so nobody can ID him, and more. Becoming a frequent liquor store and gas station robber, Robert made it through his career without ever getting caught.

His biggest score at the time was when he found two cars filled with various narcotics, including cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and LSA. Along the way, he met Benny from Grove Street, who pointed him in the direction of Benji Clemente, who ended up buying the product from him for $10,000. Benji told him that if he is ever looking for work, to reach out to him. Robert hasn't worked with Benji since, but he saw the potential in the drug trade from that point on.

### The Family

After responding to a tweet by a "Vinny", Robert met Vincent Ferrari, who told him that if he wanted work, to bring him $3,000 in clean money. After hearing this, Robert broke into local cars and stuck-up gas stations to make the $3,000. Once the two met back up, Vincent informed him of a job opportunity to gather materials and produce heroin. Robert took the job, especially after learning about the potential of the drug trade after working with Benji.

After going to the site, he ran into several different gatherers and producers, who gave Robert tips, tricks, and intel on cocaine, marijuana, dealers, and laundry sites. Over time, Robert made his first $100,000 after sale and laundering. He reported back to Vincent, who told him the family takes 10%. Vince told Robert to buy a nice car and to enjoy his spoils. Robert strolled down to Luxury Auto and bought himself a red Vapid Dominator GTX, which he plans on tuning and upgrading over time. Once stashed, he went back to the grind to push more H.

After establishing himself as a big earner by uncovering information pertaining to all the major drug ingredient locations and processing sites, as well as by hauling multiple $100,000 drug shipments for the family. Vincent and Eddie Bourque decided it was time promote Robert, so all three met at La Fuente Blanca to discuss future plans. Vincent promoted him to soldato, officially bringing Rob into the family. Vince then gave him the task of finding more associates for the family. Muratori gladly accepted the position and sought out potential recruits.

### Family Dissolution & the Yakuza

Shortly after the Grove Street War, Vince Ferrari reached out to Rob, Arden Long and Tom Doretto to discuss the future of the Family. Despite being the largest organization in Los Santos, leadership decided to look outside the city for bigger and better opportunities. As a result of this, the family dissolved and left Muratori a freelancer.

Not long after the meeting, an acquaintance named Leo reached out wondering about the dissolution and the possibility of becoming a Yakuza associate. Muratori agreed to meet with him and another longtime friend, Hideki Kamiyama, to seek membership. After a very quick and brief meeting, Robert joined the newly formed Yakuza and is one of their key drug producers.

### The Yakuza-Blood Hound War

Over time, the two closest gangs in San Andreas would eventual be involved in one of the deadliest wars at this date. The Blood Hounds, formerly known as the Diamond Dogs, began aggressively targeting members of the Yakuza. Rob was put in an awkward spot because he still considers many in the Blood Hounds family, but at the end of the day, he made a commitment to protect his new organization. Rob had to shoot many of his friends, as did his other gang members. It was a long and arduous war, but the Yakuza ended up prevailing in the end. Luckily, the gangs restored relations after the war and all fighting ceased.

### Wanted Fugitive Arc

After the war, Rob was involved with many instances of trying to provide rescues and distractions for his friends against the cops. Often times, this would result in LEO's getting injured in the line of duty. The extent ranged from Rob aiding in Vincent Ferrari's prison escape after his riot attempt, helping his team escape during a vangelico robbery gone wrong, and more. His most recent escapade involved his nephew attempting to save Arden Long from being arrested. His nephew and partner, Brayden, were calling for backup, so Rob went to help back them up. During the firefight, Rob was taken down by Sgt. Vergil Vance. Both Arden and Rob were about to be arrested and charged with multiple counts of attempted murder. During a corrections transport, three-armed Indvidual's kidnapped two civilians and negotiated the release of Arden Long and Rob into their custody. Rob and Arden are wanted fugitives and have a 31-day warrant issued by the San Andreas State Troopers. He is currently living on the bare minimum, going from place to place to avoid staying in one spot for so long.

### Free Agent Arc

Shortly after the passing of two prominent Yakuza members, Kiryu Kazuma & Leonardo Eang, and Young Sarti leaving the Yakuza, the organization was in turmoil. There was a lot of infighting, doubts, and accusations of individuals being informants for the San Andreas State Troopers. Rob was thought to be a rat, by process of elimination, according to some of the Yakuza members who didn't agree with this judgement. Rob, very disturbed and offended by this, decided to cut his losses and become independent, feeling that he can no longer risk jail, fines, and his life for members who accuse him of betrayal. Rob was able to make enough money to buy Little Liberty from Vincent Ferrari for $200,000.
