Antonio Montoya-Cruz-Perez Luis

## General Description

**Antonio Montoya-Cruz-Perez Luis**, or simply **Antonio Luis**, is an OG **Marabunta Grande** member. He was the third person to officially join to group.

Although their middle names are slightly different, Antonio is cousins with the founding members of Marabunta, those being **Esteban Julio Preze Cruz Rodriguez** and **Martin Julio Preze Cruz Rodriguez**. Antonio maintains that the difference in middle names is due a typo in the citizenship documents of his cousins, joking that *"they did a shitty job forging their papers,"* and insists that his order and spelling of the middle name is correct, although that has yet to be proven.

Antonio racked up a debt of $95,000 within his first two weeks in the city, thanks to his cousin Martin. He first had to pay off $35,000 on his Buffalo, which Martin had put a down payment on for Antonio on a whim. Next, he was told he had to pay off $80K on a house that Martin had also put a down payment on for him, but that debt was slightly alleviated thanks to a fellow Marabunta, **Juan Reyez**, who is currently his roommate. Despite his complaints that he was not told of the house payment beforehand, Antonio is grateful for the properties and cars given, and now seeks to pay his cousin back in any way he can.

#### Physical Appearance

Antonio is a 38-year-old hispanic male with brown hair tied into a ponytail with a goatee. Despite nearly being middle-aged, Antonio looks relatively young for his age, and has been thought to be younger than his cousins. He usually wears a white hoodie with a white tank-top underneath, along with white sweat pants. Still being sure to represent Marabunta, he also wears light blue converses, and is usually never seen without his light-blue bandana mask.

## Background Information

### Before Los Santos

Antonio was born on August 29th, 1982 in **Ciudad Juárez, Mexico**, a city riddled with gang violence and crime overall. Desperate to move his family elsewhere, his father **Alejandro Montoya-Cruz-Perez Luis**, took a job with a international crime syndicate helping push drugs across the U.S. border. Eventually that earned Alejandro enough money to move his wife and son to Havana, Cuba when Antonio was just 10.

While Antonio spent most of his teenage years in Cuba, it was when he was 18 that he started accompanying his father on business trips to Miami, Florida. Antonio instantly fell in love with the city of Miami, and eagerly took every chance he could to visit. This led to him also taking a job with the crime syndicate that placed him in Miami full-time at the age of 21.

When Antonio wasn't working, he was partying on South Beach. When scolded on his "frat-boy" behavior by his father, Antonio always shot back by saying he was making connections, which wasn't entirely false. With Antonio's help, his father was able to expand street sales throughout Miami ten-fold. As the years went on, Antonio began to move up in the syndicate, while bringing in more money than his father had ever had. Despite the passing of 7 years, Antonio's attitude had hardly changed a bit.

Eventually, however, this extroverted method of selling drugs caught up with Antonio, when the Drug Enforcement Administration began pursuing him with an arrest warrant in hand. At the age of 28, Antonio was arrested on drug trafficking charges, and put in federal prison on a 25-year sentence.

Although he was eventually released for good behavior after 10 years, it was clear that the time Antonio spent behind bars had an effect on him. Rather than being extravagant and outgoing, Antonio was now distant, and reluctant to trusting people. Looking to be around friendly faces, Antonio reached out to his two cousins, Esteban and Martin. With their persuasion, Antonio scrapped together what little money he had and booked a flight to Los Santos.

Upon arriving in LS, Antonio found himself pulled right back into a life of crime when he was invited into his cousin's new gang, the Marabunta Grande. Despite his bad history with the criminal underworld, Antonio decided that he would do his best to ensure the success of his new Familia.
