Laucube has yellowish hair, wears a sleeveless denim jacket, white t-shirt and black pants with red sneakers. He also has skills in hand-to-hand combat. In terms of personality, Laucube is known for his loyalty to his friends, namely M.B. Kovas and Mr. TongWah.

## Biography

### Backstory

Laucube was born and raised in Curonia, Latvia. During his childhood, he spent a significant amount of time playing Counter-Strike to a point where he became a skilled player. At some point in his early adulthood, he decided to pursue education in Switzerland College, which is why he moved to Los Santos with his cousin Razor. After arriving, he made friends with several college applicants like M.B. Kovas, Mr. TongWah, Martin Strada, Dima and several others which would then become the basis for the KCO group. He also purchased a red Sanchez and uses it as his main way of transportation, also suggesting that he became fond of riding dirtbikes.

### Events of Dario Stories

#### Chapter 1

Laucube first appears alongside Teacher's first class of the semester. He participates in DYOM Teacher's exam during DYOM Class. He is seen sticking around his friends M.B. Kovas, Mr. TongWah and his cousin Razor most of the time, later spotted alongside them during lunch break after Dario finishes his first classes.

The second day of the semester, Principal Walter has a conversation with Laucube and offers him to pick up Rudy, the college's gym teacher, from the airport. Laucube helps Walter, using his car to drive to the airport to pick up Rudy, eventually bringing him back to the college.

The next morning, Laucube is seen participating alongside other students in Rudy's gym class. Rudy announces that the students will be taught combat sports, meanwhile Laucube and Dario get into an argument. Rudy uses the opportunity to get Laucube and Dario into the ring and be the first ones to fight. Laucube then wins the fight against Dario in a dominating fashion, mocking him in the process. Shortly after class, Tong and AznKei use Laucube's bike to go investigate Chris and Dario, showing that Laucube trusts some of his friends enough to lend them his bike. The same day later, Laucube is informed that he had gotten an A from the DYOM Class exam held earlier.

Some time later, Laucube, M.B. Kovas and Martin Strada are playing Counter-Strike during DYOM Class. Laucube appears to be the last remaining member of his team in the video game and manages to pull off a victory against difficult odds, impressing M.B. Kovas but angering Martin Strada in the process. Laucube tries to rationalize to Martin that he is taking the game too seriously, meanwhile they all supposedly get into trouble at the end of class for not doing their work.

The next day, Laucube is among other KCO groupmates talking in the hallway to Tong and AznKei about the recent robbery of AznKei's YouTube earnings. Principal Walter announces that the students will be going on a trip to Shady Creeks and Laucube is among them. They leave Los Santos in the evening and arrive at Angel Pine, where the groups are split up. Laucube and most of KCO are in Teacher's group, beginning a long walk into the forest. After reaching a bridge, the group is ambushed by Dario and his employed Serbian Sailors who kidnap Tong and AznKei, and then attempt to kill Laucube and the rest. Laucube and his friends, however, successfully escape the scene by jumping off the bridge into water and then leaving the area.

#### Chapter 2

Laucube, Kovas, Razor and Dima are washed up on the shore in the middle of Shady Creeks, visibly exhausted after escaping Dario's ambush. The group then make their way deeper into the woods and organize a campsite with a fireplace.

Later that night, Laucube, Razor and Dima are at the campsite talking with eachother. Laucube shows skepticism towards Dima's obsession with the PS5 and also suggests that they go hunting. The conversation is interrupted by an armed Kovas with the captive Serbian Sailors' leader who participated in the ambush. After interrogation, the leader is knocked out and left at the campsite, meanwhile Laucube and the group make their way to a gas station near a highway where the remaining Serbian Sailors are. After Kovas kills them, the group secretly board a cargo van which then drives them towards San Fierro, where Tong and AznKei are being held hostage by Dario.

After arriving to San Fierro, Laucube and the group find themselves at the docks. They come across a garage full of illegally imported cars and attempt to take one, but are interrupted by the security at the docks. A brawl erupts with Laucube and his friends having to fight the security personnel. After defeating them, the group obtain a brown Sultan and head towards Mario's garage in uptown San Fierro, meanwhile Laucube implies that he hasn't seen Mario in a long while. After arriving, the group meet up with Mario and explain to him the need to rescue Tong and AznKei from Dario's and Nicholas' captivity.

The next day, the group meet Seygull who then goes with Kovas to acquire weapons to confront Dario and his henchmen, meanwhile Laucube insits on staying at the garage and keeping a lookout.

The day after, Laucube and the group are getting equipped to finally go rescue Tong and AznKei. Laucube is seen equipped with his P90 for the first time, visibly satisfied with the choice as it is a weapon he liked using in his Counter-Strike gaming. Later on, the group, accompanied by Lionel, make their way to the abandoned factory where Tong and AznKei are held and a huge firefight ensues. Laucube kills several of Dario's employed Gay Gang members before finally reaching Tong and AznKei and rescuing them.

Later that same day, Laucube and the rest of KCO are at the airport and are about to board a plane back to Los Santos, though Kovas is interrupted by a phonecall, insisting that they should go to a ranch just outside of San Fierro for information. After Laucube, Kovas and Tong arrive at the scene, they find a video tape where Dario and Nicolas murder Martin Strada and Teacher. This provokes Laucube and the others into a war with Dario, which is cemented by the immediate Gay Gang assault on the ranch. After Laucube, Kovas and Tong fight off the attackers, they board a boat and escape the scene.

#### Chapter 3

Laucube is at the Los Santos Cemetery alongside the rest of KCO, some students, teachers and Detective Lionel in attendance of Martin's and Teacher's funeral. During the priest's speech, Laucube is annoyed at one of the students for mocking Teacher. Shortly after, the cemetery is attacked by Bukas The Cringelord and his cringedeviant goons who arrived to finish off the rest of KCO. Laucube and the group, however, manage to defeat the attackers and start chasing Bukas The Cringelord all the way back to Switzerland College. After Laucube and the rest arrive at the college, Bukas is nowhere to be found after the latter escapes the scene with Dario.

The next day, Nicholas spots Laucube and Razor together in Glen Park talking to eachother. Nicholas uses the opportunity to take a photo of both of them, later to be used for fabricating evidence against Laucube and the rest of KCO in an attempt to incriminate them.

The day after, Laucube and Razor is seen playing tennis against Kovas and AznKei, with Tong and Dima watching the game. Their game is, however, interrupted as Dario activates a projector which displays fake evidence of KCO murdering Martin Strada, Teacher and Detective Norris. Laucube is seen falsely portrayed as standing next to Norris' body with Kovas, making him one of the first suspects behind the murder of Norris which was actually committed by Dario. Lionel and the rest of the police in the area quickly attempt to arrest Laucube and the rest of KCO, but the group fights back, resulting in a firefight where multiple police officers are killed by KCO and Dima being arrested. Laucube, Kovas, Tong and AznKei successfully escape the scene together in Tong's car while Razor escapes seperately. The group manages to escape the police and leaves Los Santos. Laucube then redirects the group to Razor's hideout in Fort Carson where they decide to go and lay low.

The day after their escape from Los Santos, Laucube, Kovas, Tong and AznKei find themselves in the hideout planning what to do next. Laucube is visibly irritated by the fact that he and the rest are being wanted by the police because of fabricated evidence. Kovas then comes up with a plan to retrieve the video tape in which Dario and Nicholas are shown murdering Martin and Teacher. The group, however, splits up and Kovas and AznKei drive back to the ranch while Laucube and Tong go their seperate way on a quad bike to source some weapons. Laucube and Tong manage to find some weapons, among them assault and sniper rifles. While crossing a bridge driving back to the hideout, they notice Kovas and AznKei ambushed by cringedeviants on an adjacent bridge. Laucube then equips a sniper rifle and shoots all of the attackers, saving Kovas and AznKei right before leaving the scene with Tong.

The morning after that, Laucube and the group are near the hideout preparing to go on the hunt for Dario. They are, however, attacked by Bukas in an attack helicopter. The group manages to fight off Bukas, leaving his helicopter in a damaged state and forced to retreat back towards Los Santos. Laucube and the group assume that Bukas will lead them back to Dario, which is why they follow him in Tong's car.

Laucube, Kovas, Tong and AznKei chase Bukas all the way back to Vinewood, where Dario is giving a speech. Seygull and Razor, however, interrupt the scene by displaying real evidence of Dario disrespecting other DYOM members and being the one behind the murder of Martin Strada and Teacher. Dario then immediately departs from the scene with Nicholas in his car, while Laucube's group chase them. During the pursuit, Gay Gang and cringedeviant forces attempt to take down the chasers, albeit unsuccessfully. Laucube, Kovas, Tong and AznKei finally chase Dario all the way to Las Venturas, but the road is blocked by Spyder with a fuel tanker, which creates an opportunity for Dario and Nicholas to escape. Meanwhile, Laucube and the group bail out of the car before it crashes into the tanker and explodes. The group then discuss what to do next, but are interrupted by Lionel who joins forces with them and announces the hunt for Dario and Nicholas.

#### Chapter 4

The next day after the incident in Vinewood, Laucube and most of KCO are at a parking lot in Las Venturas talking with Lionel. The detective informs them that they will be unable to continue their college education as they are still wanted by police for the murder of several police officers in Vinewood. After Laucube questions the detective, Lionel informs that the group can help him take down Dario and in turn Laucube and the rest would be granted safe passage out of San Andreas to escape the law. The group agrees to this proposal, shortly before Geddy arriving to the scene and insisting on finding Spyder.

Some time later, Laucube and the rest find themselves at the Las Venturas Police Department HQ looking through surveillance in an effort to find Spyder. After Lionel locates Spyder in a warehouse in the city, Laucube and Geddy assume initiative on going to the scene alone and finding him. After arriving, Laucube and Geddy both eliminate a significant amount of Gay Gang and cringedeviant forces, finally reaching Spyder who tells Laucube and Geddy that Dario is hiding at Caligulas Casino. Spyder, however, manages to escape the scene and is then chased by Laucube and Geddy all the way to the airport. After arriving, Spyder steals a plane and flies away while Geddy does the same in an effort to follow him. Laucube, however, stays behind and then calls Kovas to inform him of Dario's location.

After the death of Bukas at the trainyard, Laucube, Kovas and Tong assault the Caligulas Casino from behind, while most of Lionel's law enforcement forces are fighting cringedeviant guards at the front. AznKei then reunites with Laucube and the rest with a parachute, and the four of them infiltrate the casino through it's storage facilities. A big firefight ensues as Laucube and the others attempt to reach Dario, clearing the entire basement of cringedeviant forces.

Right after exiting the basement, Laucube, Kovas, Tong and AznKei run into Nicholas at the casino floors and are trapped in another firefight against many cringedeviant soldiers, including a heavily armored juggernaut. After clearing the casino floor, Laucube and the rest are instructed by Lionel to quickly make their way to higher floors to find Dario and Nicholas while the police secure the rest of the casino. Laucube and the group do as they are told, finally running into Dario and Nicholas in their penthouse. A brawl ensues, and the group manages to beat up Dario and Nicholas. However, shortly afterwards they are suddenly attacked by several remaining cringedeviant soldiers, giving Dario his last opportunity to escape, albeit unsuccessfully. After Dario is arrested, Laucube and the group meet at street level with Lionel. Laucube mocks Dario for getting detained.

The next day, Laucube and Kovas visit the hospital to see Dima, who was injured during the fight between Kovas and Bukas. Right before leaving, Laucube notices a PS5 placed next to the hospital bed, sent by Dima's parents. Laucube makes a remark about the PS5 being trash and kicks it on the ground shortly before leaving the scene.

Later that day, Laucube and the rest of KCO participate in Dario's court. After Dario is sentenced to a mental assylum, Laucube, Kovas, Tong and AznKei then make their way to the docks to witness Dario's exile from Los Santos. After speaking with Lionel, Kovas informs the group that him, Laucube and Razor will be leaving for Vice City as part of their deal with Lionel. Later on, Lionel organizes two helicopters at Los Santos International airport to take the group out of the state. Laucube, Kovas and Razor say their goodbyes to Tong and AznKei shortly before leaving the scene in one of the helicopters.
