Mikkel Hansen

## Origins

Mikkel Hansen is a 28 year old Norwegian born in the western city of Bergen.
From a young age, he was noted as a quiet person - someone who it was hard to get to know, but would be a good friend if enough time passed and trust was built. He also frequently got in trouble at home for setting fires, but was only caught by the police once at the age of 10, when he set his school bathroom on fire, and spent some time in a juvenile facility. He spent most of his free time in the mountains whenever he wasn't at school or helping at home; and because of his
natural isolation, combined with his father's lifestyle, only had a couple real friends while growing up.

His father, Hans, was involved with the Russian mafia, though his duties consisted mostly of stealing and deporting vehicles. Due to this, there were times when his father was away from home for periods of time. Mikkel's mother was unemployed - staying at home to raise him and his brother, while their father made a good living to support the family. His brother, Lars, is 2 years younger than him, and they spent a decent amount of time together.

Mikkel spent the first portion of his life in his hometown, up until he hit the age of 12, when his mother was killed by a drunk driver. After this happened, their father went into depression and moved the family to Lappeenranta in the east of Finland. Both the children were enrolled in public schooling, but had a hard time as they didn't speak the language, and fell behind in their studies.

As he grew older, he spent some time with his brother going to St. Petersburg in Russia, since it was only about a 3 hour drive away, and their father would occasionally bring them on trips to meet his associates. Eventually, Mikkel would begin helping his father acquire vehicles for the mafia; but Lars didn't want to take part in the lifestyle and left in order to pursue higher education. Lars moved back to Norway to go to university, and Mikkel was left with his father and their bosses. This felt like a betrayal to Mikkel, as they had spent a lot of their younger years helping each other, and he started growing even less trustworthy of others. Lars' departure was the last time the brothers would ever speak.
Mikkel's introverted personality worked out for him in his and his father's line of work. No one was expected to talk much or make friends outside of the business; and due to the hazards of the job, never dated or had any serious relationships.

Fast forward to the time of Mikkel being 25, his father was given another job.
Hans was ordered to steal a vehicle from someone, but was not told who - only what vehicle to grab. Normally, this would be the usual job - doesn't matter who it is, no questions asked; but this job was more than he could handle. The vehicle he was ordered to steal was from a member of the Russian Federal Assembly. He didn't get very far before he was caught and arrested. After being questioned - he was angry that he wasn't told the details of this job and ratted out his associates. It didn't take long before some were in hiding, some were caught and imprisoned,
and Hans was found and killed by the remaining members.

Because of Mikkel's natural distrust of the people he was with, he left Russia to go back to Finland, and hid in a cabin in the forest from both the Russian government, and his now ex-associates. His intuition was right, as the members that did manage to flee the police were indeed looking for him, as they thought that he may have had something to do with his father's actions. He lived in his cabin off of his savings from his jobs for 3 years, until the mafia found his location.

Mikkel was out in the forests as usual, where he went for walks, and went fishing and hunting. On his walk back to his cabin, he noticed two black sedans outside of his home. He knew immediately what this meant, and left the area. He had no time to pack bags or grab any belongings, he only walked to the nearest road and hitched a ride to the local airport. There, he purchased a one-way ticket to the United States, and landed in Los Santos International Airport.

## First Days in Los Santos

Upon arriving in his new home, he did what anyone else would; walk the streets, look for a phone, try to find some people to meet and guide him around. He walked to the store, bought a phone, got hit by a car, limped to the hospital, and met a doctor who help him, and Kayse Morgan - who decided to show him to the tow yard, where he would proceed to get a job. From there, he met Davo, who showed him around the city.

He spent the next couple days doing his job and exploring the city, until he met Alfred Bafangool and Roni Belov.
