Douglas Finkleton

## Early Life

Douglas Finkleton was the stereotypical mafia brat. Born to a close associate of Sonny Forelli of the Forelli Family in Liberty City 1964. His father, Andrew "Fink" Finkleton was a half-blood Italian-Irishman that grew up in Sonny's neighborhood. He never knew his mother because she was just another notch in his father's belt. Unlike most children his age, Douglas was raised in a strip club known as The Triangle Club until he was 13. Then he and his father, at Sonny's request, moved to Vice City to keep an eye on business down there.

It was about 8 years later around his 21st birthday, when Sonny sent a hitman down to whack his father. Claiming he did some bad business. Douglas wasn't considered a threat to Sonny so Sonny only had his goons rough him up before letting him live.

Alone on the streets of Vice City he took to petty crime. Specializing in selling Fake IDs, he went about his life until the late 90s. Around then the city had changed dramatically from what he had known during the 70s and 80s. One thing that didn't change was his clients. One such client was Von Anderson who went by the moniker "Lips". He was always asking Douglas to make a new ID for him with a new name. At least 3 times a week the kid was in there.

They became close friends and even moved in together for a while. It took some time, but Lips eventually confided to Douglas that he was on a revenge mission to avenge his murdered parents. Douglas understands the situations parents can get their children in, and ultimately respected him for it.

Eventually he found himself taking in a third individual by the name of Cleetus Scruggs. Cleetus was fresh off the boat from Australia and didn't know anyone so he was a perfect fit for their couch. Plus he didn't mind driving them around, so there was a plus there.

The three of them went on to become quite the crew. Surviving well but found themselves needing more. Over time they would end up joining with two others, a Hugh Mungus and an Aiden John. Two half-brothers that recently found themselves looking for other likeminded individuals.

The now group of five members would become known as The Family and people would be making a mistake to mess with them.

## Diamond City Los Santos

Eventually, the streets of Vice City became boring to ol' Dougie Fresh. He and The Family would find themselves relocating to Diamond City Los Santos as a crew, only to return to the same of life of crime. They got into robberies, drug productions, whatever the streets would let them, but just couldn't take off as a force in the city. Overtime they came to meet another crew in the city known as The Long Boys, lead by none other than Dick Long. Being in a similar position as The Family, the two of them decided to have a sit-down which led to their eventual merge. It was from this time forward that Douglas Finkleton would assume the role as Lt. of Drug operations for the Los Santos Bloods.

## Los Santos Bloods

Douglas felt at home in the Los Santos Bloods and couldn't be happier about it. Still on inside man for all things crime and drugs, he helps bring in new members to the gang. Facilitating interviews and popping off shots on anyone that needs it, the Los Santos Bloods and Douglas Finkleton are here and they are here to stay.
