### History

#### Robert and Aaron:

The Colombo’s journey opens with two brothers and their humble beginnings.

Born and raised in Italy, Robert and Aaron’s days as children were spent passing the time in the sun-kissed streets of Mantua.

Their parents worked tooth and nail to put food on the table and more often than not, the neighbors would take the boys under their wing. It was a day like any other, with their father exasperated by their dwindling funds and their mother, Jimita, turning up their busted television to drown out his complaints. Except this time, the screen filled with images of a city lit up by neon with its buildings touching the stars.

The room went silent as the audio told of “The American Dream.” A world of opportunity, ready for the Colombo’s taking. The family made no time to waste once their feet touched American soil. Ironically, the young brother’s found themselves working at Lombardi’s, a fine Italian restaurant in the Big Apple. The pay was nothing to shout about, minimum wage, but it was a start and it gave them a sense of purpose amidst the hustle and bustle of the big city.

However, they had not been prepared for what else the business had in store for them, thanks to the ownership falling under that of a notorious mob, the Profaci crime family. It was through the mob that Robert got caught up in more questionable business, with Aaron soon to follow. The reality of their American dream falling short, and desperate once again to make ends meet, they begged the Profaci’s for a raise. They obliged, but not without a price. It started with them both chauffeuring the Profaci’s to and from their desired destinations in the city. Through this, the brother’s were privy to a lot of nefarious activity and they soon realized this was a life they had fallen into which would be no easy feat to back out of. One odd job led to another, and before they knew it, they were hands-on, learning how to manufacture all manner of weapons whilst working with the best craftsmen in the city.

Their hands were dirty, but their pockets were fuller than ever.

They even had time to concoct their own deals, setting up an illegal lottery for the locals that quickly had them raking in coin beyond what the Profaci’s work even made them. So now they could stand on their own feet but they were already too deeply entwined. It was actually thanks to none other than the Gallo crime family, the Profaci’s opposition in the city, that they were able to break free. With a long growing tension between them, it was only a matter of time before the situation escalated. In a dark corner of the city, the streets filled with gunfire as men from both sides stood to arms.

Citizens in earshot ran inside and double-locked their doors that evening. The shots didn’t falter until a monumental explosion shattered the night, followed by sirens as police reached the scene. It was there that the Colombo brother’s were believed to be amongst the fatalities and that laid the perfect path to their exit. Robert, Aaron and their parents packed their things and were out of New York before anyone could catch up with them.

Seeking new beginnings, they travelled cross-country, all the way to the West Coast where they found Los Santos and a new chapter could unfold. The Colombo’s had been taught a lot of hard lessons, but this time, their journey would be their own to carve.

#### **Jimmy Colombo**

Jimmy Colombo had dreams to fly freely through the sky's ever since he was a young lad. He flew to sunset city as an eager young man trying to make it as a pilot. He had heard of all the possibilities in this city and decided to give it a shot. Leaving behind his friends and family to start anew. Once there he was able to get into his dream job of being a pilot. After some time he started to feel the urge for more. Surely this wasn't the height of his career. He missed his family and friends and yearned for something more. That's when the Colombo's came and changed his way of life.

As a young new cub his mentor Rob set out to change Jimmy's way of thinking. All it took was going on one bank heist to get Jimmy addicted to the lifestyle. Nothing quenched his thirst for excitement like a chase from a heist. After sometime Jimmy was able to move onto owning the airlines and coaching incoming cubs as well.

#### Dominique

*This is a mans world...*

She just could not do it anymore. She couldn't stand to look at them, to talk to them. To carry out another con on another mark would be impossible. She wanted to gut them, not flirt with them. It had taken every last bit of willpower to use her wealth, connections, and wiles to ensure she and her beloved were free.

*but it ain't nothing without a woman or a girl...*

So she looked at her options. Jorden had given her the respect of treating her like she was capable. Jorden had found a new family. "A family of Bears?" She'd asked.

"Yeah, they're kinda weird. I don't know. You just gotta meet em." She left the city, went back to Servo, went to Quebec. When she came back she was ready. "Okay, let me meet these bears."

Later that day she followed Holy Colombo off a bridge. Watched him go to bat for her in the cells. *Loyalty. They have it. I want that.* a little voice in her heart whispered.

One week after that she was jumped in. The whole family showed up for her court case. She didn't have to fight the bears for respect. She didn't have to butter them up. They just had her back and she had theirs. The more she wore the mask, the more she saw of her fellows in theirs. The less that old life mattered. She was ready to build her own life, her own wealth. She had found her family. A family of bears.

Some of them called her Dom. She'd always shortened her name to something cute and petite. *Nique.* But Dom was starting to grow on her. This new spin on her name that sounded strong. It sounded like the bear she was becoming.
