## History

### **Early Life**

Charles Hanes was born in Krakow, Poland to the name Karol Glowa. He doesn't remember much of back home since his parents took him and his older brother away when he was only two years old. All he knows is that there was some kind of family issues which forced them to leave, and to his suspicion even being the reason why they changed their names on arrival to the United States. Once settled in America, Hanes grew up in North Carolina out in a city area. Three years later his sister was born and his parents decided to give her a proper American Name to fit with their change. The only resemblance or teachings he was given of the old country was what his parents told him. They primarily spoke Polish in the house but dedicated themselves to integrate with their new environment.

However, as the middle child in almost a cliché fashion he was left to himself. As immigrants his family were not in a stable condition, his older brother John forced to get a job early in life with Charles to follow on behind. His teenage years were filled with working, he managed to make some friends from school but not many. This life did not suit him, it made him miserable. He knew as a kid he should have been out enjoying himself, having fun and being carefree. This sparked him into a need to trying to help others whenever they were down in life, he didn't want others to deal with the same mental issues he had to endure so he focused on helping people see the better in life. Adopting an optimistic view on life and using comedy and jokes to mask any pains. However as the years passed and he grew older, so did the issues he faced and ways he chose to deal with them.

### Involvement with the wrong or right people

The city had all sorts of people, especially criminals. In order to support a family of five Charles was forced to find ways to make money other than working a minimum wage job. This caused him to look to less than legal ways of making money. However he knew he couldn't afford to be stupid and get caught, picking and choosing his battles. He adopted the tactic of doing hit and runs, that he wouldn't be in the location long. Any thefts would be in and out grabs, when breaking in he'd search fast and grab what he sees in plain view. This aided him in making some petty cash however it also started getting his actions heard around the streets. Eventually when he was 16 he finally got caught, but not by the cops. It was by a few gang members who organized an ambush. The teen punched the closet member and booked it, almost escaping but was managed to get caught by the group. They respected his bravery and after a beating as payback for attacking one of their members offered him a chance to prove himself.

Over the years, Charles grew some street credit never using his full name and over the years the crew he joined "The Runners" also expanded their operations. However due to his affliction with the gang he slowly lost contact and ties with his family. Charles also stay back only performing the very low level stuff not wanting to get in the eyes of the law. Eventually when he was eighteen, the crew used his Polish connection to become familiar would a local Polish Mob. Overtime it was seen that the mob grew to like Charles because of his heritage helping him learn survival skills. Then at nineteen the mob sent him out to the Russo-Polish Boarder of Kaliningrad. He was finally back home but it didn't feel like home. Like always he stuck with the low level plays, preferably lookout. The mob wasn't the only crew that decided to play around in Russia, Kaliningrad became a popular hotspot for smuggling items from east to west. This is where he began meeting people, some he'd see again in the future.

## The American Cities

### **Pre-Los Santos**

Charles stayed working with the mob in Kaliningrad for another two years, making some contacts and befriending some. Two in particular, Marin Ivarson and Grimnir Mortem were befriended and gotten really close with. They became his family there, people trusted with his life. After those two years passed and be turned twenty-one, Charles suggested to the two for them to head to the United States. After a good amount of talk they agreed and once his jobs were done the trio left for the States. There they used their skills to make money, setting up mechanic shops for legal work but doing some small time crime on the side. It was here that Hanes met a British lady named Cait, someone who he got along with very quickly. And with getting along with them, a bond formed turning into something romantic. His life was becoming something, he had people he seen as family and someone who he gained feelings for. They worked in the city for just over a year. Then the city began having major gang issues, conflicts sparking for the lowest reasons and dragging everything into the warzones. Charles promised to help keep not only Cait safe but his new family, attempting to use his clean record to join the local police but it was too late. They were forced out, packing up whatever they can carry and leaving their possessions behind. Little did he know his relationship was too lost.

### **Los Santos**

When arriving in Los Santos, they all searched out lines of work. Charles kept to his promise and applied to the State Police, using their assets to keep those he cared about safe even preparing himself to propose to the one he loved. During this time him, Martin, and Grimnir came across some people they met back in Russia who also arrived in Los Santos. They now had contacts and people to help them. However he learned that his relationship was over soon after arriving into the city. This somewhat put Charles on another spiral, like the one back during his childhood. He became more distant, more quiet, all until someone he befriended who worked for SAHA introduced him to somebody. When he met Viola Shaw, he didn't know what to do. However eventually that introduction led to something special, led into another relationship which he was emotionally hesitant at first but after Viola had a near fatal accident his protective nature came out in full swing finally revealing his true feelings for her. Now Charles works for the State Police, using them for the benefit of himself and those he loves.
