## Background Information

Michael Bennett was born to Joseph and Hallee Bennett on May 29th, 1996. His father was a police officer and part-time factory labor while his mother was a homemaker. He is the eldest of four siblings, each being two years apart from one another. Michael, for the most part, had a relatively normal childhood. He participated in sports, mainly football as a lineman and baseball as a catcher. He learned a lot from his baseball coach, Timmothy Mills, including teamwork, selflessness, discipline, and leadership.

During Michael's junior year of high school, his father was tragically killed in the line of duty during a house raid of a known drug den. The loss of his father not only affected him deeply, but it affected his family. This caused a huge rift between him, his mother and his siblings. When Michael graduated, he decided to leave home and join the United States Army. Bennett took the ASVAB and qualified for Military Police, which is what he designated his Military Occupational Speciality (M.O.S.) to be. He was placed in the 11th Military Police Brigade and served his initial years of training stationed at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, California.

After he received his training, Bennett was sent to Fort Zancudo in San Adreas to begin his tenure as military police. Over time, he would dedication to learning the craft and wanted to be tasked with more responsibility. Eventually, he and some members of his unit were sent overseas to Al Assad Airforce Base in Iraq as a part of Task Force Lion, which aimed to train Iraqi Security Forces in the region and to support Iraqi Armed Forces in taking back the cities of Rayhanah, Anah, Qaim and Rawah from I.S.I.S. forces. In August of 2021, Bennett was sent home to Zancudo for homecoming.

## Joining the Police Force

Shortly after reaching the rank of Corporal (E-4) in August 2021, Michael was sent back to Fort Zancudo before taking leave. When he settled into Fort Zancudo, he decided that after all he saw, he would finally settle down in Los Santos and become a Police Officer. He decided to educate himself and enroll in the Los Santos Police Academy. There is where he met Lieutenant Cecil Jones, Sergeant Rory Winters, and Corporal Harold Rayner who oversaw the class. His classmates were Softan Smalls, Rigel Phoenix, and Jon Smith.

Once graduating from the academy, Michael wanted to pursue training immediately. He was paired with F.T.O. Deputy Anthony Gonzales of the Blaine County Sheriff's Department. The two worked a full shift after tsunami and grew really close. Both Gonzales and Bennett grew fond of eachother and a mutual respect developed. Eventually, Gonzales went so far as adopting Michael as his son. All Michael wants to do is to make his new father proud and be the man and officer that Gonzales wants him to be, even if Bennett doesn't see himself that way.

Bennett rose through the probationary period with ease, being dubbed by some of the command staff that performed his panel as "the fastest probationary officer promoted to solo officer". Bennett was taken aback by this comment and was invigorated. When Bennett went on duty for his first shift, he was met with a vast amount of trouble. On a house robbery call, Bennett arrived on scene awaiting backup. That was when he saw an individual leave the house where an alarm was tripped. When about ready to apprehend the suspect, multiple masked men wearing the same outfit came from out of the bushes and the roofs of the nearby houses to ambush him. He was ziptied, his gear stolen, and was left in the middle of the street until Corporal Cassandra Thompson was able to rescue him. In shock, he said there were approximately 6-8 people at the scene, but that was not the case.

Shortly after that house robbery call happened, Bennett responded to another house robbery in another area. During a chase where other units lost visual, Bennett was able to located a suspect, who crashed their getaway bike into a wall. When Bennett went to apprehend the suspect, he was attacked and shot multiple times, and struck & ran over by Officer Vergil Vance's Patrol Cruiser in an attempt to take down the armed suspect. His vest took most of the damage, but he was told to take time off.

Bennett was sent overseas to Camp Zama, which is located inbetween Zama and Sagamihara in Japan, in the Kanagawa Prefecture. There he was stationed to train with the Armed Forces of Japan for a variety of combat ops and military procedures. He was sent back home to Zancudo in October of 2021.

When Michael returned, he was enjoying his retirement from the armed services, even getting a second job at Little Liberty. However, things took a turn for the worst when he was abducted outside the restaraunt. His assailants knew he was a cop and tried getting weapons out of him. When they couldn't, they gravely wounded Bennett, taking his eye and mutilating is tongue and finger. He was able to recover, however he now wears an eyepatch over his left eye to cover the wound. The individuals who tortured and attempted to murder Michael remain unknown. Bennett took medical leave and went back home to Scranton to get therapy and recover from the wounds.
