## Biography

Born on December 31, 1984, Jonathan James Springer is the son of Kenny Springer and Ashley Williams. He's a career law enforcement officer, having gotten his start fresh out of high school and going straight into the San Fierro Police Department Academy. In 2019, he joined the ranks of the Federal Investigation Bureau at the Los Santos Field Office, eventually jumping to the Secret Service, followed by a very rapid succession from Commander to Chief of the Los Santos Police Department, culminating in his final appointment as Sheriff of Blaine County. He plans to pursue a career in politics as a Libertarian rather than a Republican.

## Personality

Jon is a level headed, kind-hearted gay man from the heart of the LGBT community in San Fierro, San Andreas, growing up in the Queens district. He puts his work over himself, making him the ideal candidate for any high-ranking position in law enforcement. He values personal experiences over textbook training or flims and video. His dedication to law enforcement and his peers are what brought him back to boots-on-the-ground police work, attracting the attention of the late Richard Galloway during his tenure with the Secret Service.

## Early Years and Beginning Police Work

Jon grew up with his single father Kenny in the Queens district of San Fierro, after his parents separated. Living in the self-proclaimed LGBT capital of the world, his early life in San Fierro saw him experiencing the aftermath of the early work of the now legendary Luke Carter's killing spree across the state in the late 90s. In the mid 2000's, following his graduation from high school, he immediately enrolled in the San Fierro Police Department's academy and going right into police work. He passed with flying colors and was on the streets mere months after his academy training, exceeding the abilities of his classmates.

## Redefining Law Enforcement: 2002-2017

Having passed the SFPD's training a few months prior, Springer had quickly gotten the attention of his superiors the longer he continued to work the streets of San Fierro. His drive to help people and keep his hometown safe as well as the endgoal of working for the seemingly prestigious FIB kept him working harder than ever. In 2013, he was promoted to the SFPD's detective bureau, working the homicide division until 2017, where he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. At this time he contemplated putting his resume out and joining the FIB.

## A Truly Golden Opportunity: 2018-Present

The year 2018 brought about a series of events, starting with his resignation from the San Fierro Police Department and making the move south to the City of Saints: Los Santos. With only his savings and a high-mileage Merit that was given to him as a gift by his fellow officers as a momento of his time with the SFPD, he packed his belonging and made the several hour journey south, where he settled in a modestly sized home at a nice price in the neighborhood of Mirror Park. For the next two years he spent time doing various odd jobs before he finally got the courage to begin the application process with the Federal Investigation Bureau. He was finally accepted in September of 2020 and became a probationary agent. Around the end of the month he became a full fledged Special Agent, eventually participating in a raid of a Los Santos home, leading to the arrest of Ronald Gold's daughter.

The following few months later, he joins the team investigating the Diamond Casino heist, but due to various personal reasons and a very tempting offer from Director Matthew Cooper, he was soon poached by the United States Secret Service, joining the ranks of former US President Chris Lopez's protection detail. He would spend the next several months serving the former President until the unfateful day of June 4th, 2021, the day that Luke Carter and his entourage attempted to kill Blake Palmer, his wife Melanie Ospina, as well as his brother Vincent Chase, and the other guests of Blake's wedding in Rockford Hills. He blames himself for the security incident that resulted in the attempted massacre and resigns from the Secret Service nearly a month later.

At that time he's approached by the then Commander, soon to be Deputy Chief Richard Galloway, to take his position within the Los Santos Police Department. Wanting to get back to proper police work and helping civilians in their day-to-day lives, he takes Galloway's offer and puts his resignation in to Director Cooper, and within the week he joins the LSPD. Upon joining the department in a command position, he still wanted to maintain his previous ideal of keeping public presence on the streets of Los Santos, a value he held closely during his time in San Fierro. He partners up with Lieutenant Garrus Vakarian, a former National Guard Sergeant and Lieutenant of the Chicago Police Department.

They initially despised each other until the experience Luke Carter and his sheer ruthlessness when he began hunting down Miranda Lawson, a bounty hunter from Chicago who had taken the task of hunting down Carter. She found herself in the position of predator becoming prey when Carter chased her all over the downtown area of Los Santos. During this time, the Commander and Lieutenant used their battered but reliable Traffic Division Merit to chase down Carter and his Ardent, who was chasing Lawson and her Zodiac. The pair eventually become the target of Carter, allowing Miranda to escape to her home in Vespucci, while they led the Ardent around Little Seoul, where he abandons the chase.

Jon's past experiences got the better of him when he jumped the Merit over a monument in Little Seoul, with the landing obliterating the oil pan and other parts of the sedan, leaving him and the Lieutenant stranded in Richman, just outside of the Von Crastenburg Hotel. It's here that he confesses his affection for the Lieutenant and asks him out for dinner while they wait for the tow truck to pick them up. Fast forwarding through several weeks of dealing with street racers using methods that were less than appropriate during his time as leader of the LSPD's Street Racing Task Force (SRT), he finds himself quickly rising the ranks yet again, bringing the Lieutenant with him. Following Galloway's promotion, the result of undisclosed events that the late Chief took the grave, Springer became the Assistant Chief, with Vakarian joining him as Commander.

However, this period of prosperity within the department does not last long as Galloway and his wife are "killed" in an explosion at their home in Chumash. Galloway left a note for the soon departing and hastily promoted chief describing why he did what he did. A few days later, he resigns from the LSPD to take the role of Blaine County Sheriff with a recommendation from former Sheriff Jessica Kushner. On September 11th, he gave his acceptance speech with Supervisor Alfred Skitterly on a live television broadcast in Paleto Bay, confirming his position as the new Sheriff of Blaine County. His appointment was met with praise from his former peers, ranging from the LSPD all the way up to his former colleagues in the FIB.

He has currently maintained his position as Sheriff of Blaine County through three elections, potentially a fourth. This means he's presently managed to outlive his predecessor by more than a year. There are intentions of him pursuing a political career, though in some circles his plans may ruffle some feathers in government. He continues to openly express his distrust of the government, past and present, and thinks he can do a better job than most career politicians.

## Trivia

* He currently owns 3 cars: a Vapid Sandstorm XL, a Pfister Comet S2, and a Vulcar Zinger.
* His Comet S2's appearance is inspired by the Porsche 911 seen in CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077, owned by Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand. The car can be seen occasionally with "Anywhere City" license plates, further alluding to the car's pedigree. This may eventually change, pending the release of the Pfister Comet Callista, based on the same generation of 911 actually used in the game.
* He's an excellent cook, which prompted a series of inside jokes involving a cooking show on MyTube.
* The Vulcar Zinger seen in some scenes is directly inspired by the 1969 Saab 96 formerly owned by YouTuber Robert Dunn, known for his Aging Wheels channel. The car's livery was created by his creator as an homage to the channel, with it's license plate being an indirect reference to the channel.
* His old Merit served as a running gag, often being mocked for being a slow by comparison vehicle to the rest of the LSPD's fleet, and it's questionable reliability was a reference to the San Francisco Police Department's poorly maintained and aging fleet, consisting of cars as old as 30+ years.
* In more recent photos, including his banner, feature a mysterious pink-haired individual. This is his current partner, introduced as Francis Watson, though some aren't sure what to believe about them. The mystery behind all of it is a direct reference to the FATE franchise and the servant known as Astolfo, whose gender, according to the official wiki, is refered to as "le Secret♪". They were first mentioned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in a group chat, then things exploded from there as the character then somehow became Alyx Vance's personal assistant before being swept away by Jon.
