## Biography

Jason Hale was born on June 15th, 1990 in Austin, Texas. Jason grew up in a predominantly conservative household and was often forced to adopt similar ideals while growing up. At the age of 15, he confided in his younger sister Cassidy and came out as homosexual. His sister then unknowingly let the fact slip around their parents a few days later, prompting them to raid his room and find love letters that he and another boy in his class had written to each other. Enraged, Jason’s father tore up the letters and barred Jason’s windows. He was never allowed to return to school either, and instead had to be homeschooled. At the age of 18, Jason was immediately kicked out by his parents. Jason used the little money he had saved since he was young to fly away to Los Santos in hopes of finding a better life. To make ends meet, he got a job flipping burgers at Up-N-Atom.

2 years later, while working a night shift, he witnessed from the kitchen a young girl being kidnapped by an old man. Jason immediately left the kitchen and went to chase the man down in his rusted out Vapid that he bought with the little money he made.

While chasing the perp down the dark street, he noticed a highly-modified 80s Albany join in the chase, presumably going after the same perp. Both Jason and the unknown driver were able to corner the creep and wrestle him out of the car. The unknown man then introduced himself as Carlo. Carlo, impressed by how Jason was able to keep up with the old creep, who was revealed to be a human trafficker, gave Jason a blank card with nothing but an address to San Fierro and an unlisted phone number. When Jason went back to Up-N-Atom to finish his shift, he came back to his manager and a fleet of fire trucks waiting outside the restaurant, who had just finished putting out a fire in the kitchen due to Jason forgetting to turn off the grill. He was then promptly fired.

With nothing left to do, Jason called the number on the card and was immediately greeted with a friendly voice who even greeted him by name. Confused, Jason asked who the stranger was, and was then told to go to the address listed on the same card he was given to find out. When Jason got to the address, it was an old abandoned radio tower at the top of Missionary Hill. As he was about to leave, he gets greeted by Carlo, who promptly invites him into the station and is shown the hidden Overseer Headquarters underneath the hill. Jason was then subsequently recruited as Carlo’s new partner, and after months of extensive training, was ready to go out into the field.

From 2010 to 2014, Jason and Carlo went on and completed over 60 serious cases and earned themselves the title of Top Emissaries within the organization. In September of 2014 however, Jason and Carlo have a short-lived fling, with Carlo soon leaving in the middle of the night 3 weeks in and supposedly dying in a car accident. Distraught, and saddened at the death of his partner and love interest, Jason resigns and eventually becomes a Secret Service Agent in 2015 until 2021, where he retires due to serious injuries sustained in Blake Palmer’s wedding massacre. At the wedding however, he does meet Blake’s brother Vincent Chase, and the two are immediately attracted to one another. Eventually, both Jason and Vincent become a couple and now live together in Rockford Hills.

## Personality

Jason is often very quiet and reserved, possibly due to being ridiculed for his high-pitched and flamboyant voice when he was very young. Despite now having a deeper and more masculine voice, he still keeps to himself. He has trouble opening up to those around him who he is not very familiar with, however can immediately warm up to others once he gets used to them.

Jason is also very protective to those who matter to him, and will stop at nothing to help them.
