Bo bought Burgershot for $2 million the next day Collin paid his half to Bo. Collin was in the market for a mansion and acquired one for $4 million opposite the Apostles compound which Collin is currently paying the mortgage for.

## Backstory

Born in 1980 Southampton, England. Collin Was very unlucky from the start, losing his mother at birth and losing his father seven years later to Cancer. Collin was then sent by his neighbours (close friends of his parents) to live with his Uncle and his partner down by the docks a little over ten miles from his parents house. His uncle being a strict working man worked at the shipping yard building ships. Collin soon learned not displease his uncle when he was around him as he would take the belt or whatever was close by to-him. soon after Collins fifteenth birthday 1995, he was forced to work at the shipping yard with his uncle. Being the general dogs body to his uncle and his uncles work mates, carrying heavy equipment, tools and materials etc. The work was hard for a boy of his age and size, what made it harder was his uncle and his work mates would punish him for what he thought was for nothing at all. Though it was hard work the pay for a boy of his age was quite good, although he would have to give most if not all on some occasions to his uncle for his keep. He would soon find a friend in the form of the shipping yards foreman who noticed the work he did and the grief he got from his uncle and uncles work mates, and would pay him a little extra each week and share his lunch with him on the sly. Knowing the extra money would be taken from him, he kept it in a safe place within the shipping yard. Four years went by Collin was nineteen with enough money to keep him going for awhile was saved. Collin turned to the foreman one lunch time and told him he'd had enough of the belt and other things used to beat on him by his uncle and the whacks around the head by his uncles work mates, that it was time he left. The foreman listened closely and said "well boy that ship there, the one we finished yesterday, that leaves for America tonight once it has finished loading up". "Its the only way tonight it is" Collin said. That night the Ship that Collin help build set off for America with Collin safely aboard. The foreman told him the ship would take around four weeks to arrive at the united stated of America, Collin had to find food two days into the journey. Under the pitch black of night and knowing the ships layout Collin managed to get to the ships kitchen unseen, were he filled is pockets and bag with food and drink Collin the headed back to his hiding place. Collin kept this up for three weeks going to and throw from hiding place to kitchen and back to his hiding place, until he was eventually caught by the ships cook who noticed the food and drink missing from his inventory. Collin was dragged to the captains office, once in front of the captain Collin told his story to the captain. The captain said "well we cant just turn around we have a deadline to meet, I'll hand you over to the authorities once we dock". Another week went past and land was in sight soon the ship was starting to dock, once docked Collin was handed over to the authorities. Once again Collin found himself having to explain his situation. While awaiting deportation Collin managed to get a work permit and land himself a job with a South Carolina sanitation company and since he was able to get a job he applied for a green card to be able to stay in the United states of America. One and a half years went by Collin was granted his green card, he then set off to travel America. Working and dabbling in the odd bit of petty crime because of the acquaintances he met along his Travels, although he dabbled in some crime he never got caught and Collin soon became bored with the crime and travelling he wanted to settle down. Before settling down he needed to gain some qualifications, so he went to collage obtained certificates in waste and recycling management and entrepreneurship along with a BA (hons) in business management shortly after completing his courses he moved to the state of Emerald Hills.

## The Apostles

Collin spent a lot of time outside in front of the apartments in the early days and met Father Randy Flowers and Bo Jingles, on several occasions the three of them stood out front talking for hours, Collin then met Deacon Vinney Cook, Rev.Richard Hard and Archdeacon Guy Buddy. Father, Bo, Vinney, Richard and Guy are apart of the Apostles. Collin, Vinney and Bo went hunting on a couple of occasions this is where they were sizing Collin up for whether or not Collin would be a good fit for the group. One day outside of the apartments Bo approached Collin and asked him whether or not he'd be interested in joining the Apostles, Collin said sure why not over a week or so went by Bo and Father approached Collin outside of the apartments and the three of them walked to the church on the way Father was giving Collin the lowdown on the Apostles. Collin joined the Apostles and became an Alter Boy on August 10th 2022. Collin spent a lot of time gathering materials for Rev. Richard and would spend time with him at the crafting table. Eventually Archdeacon Guy started crafting too so Collin split the materials he gathered and gave half each to Guy and Richard. October 16th 2022 Collin was promoted to Brother. Rev.Richard Hard left the state with that happening Collin gathered materials from the recycling centre solely for Guy and would spend time at the crafting tables and in the compound keeping Guy company while he crafted........tedious work. months went by shortly after Collin acquired the Gas Station on the radio Guy asked Collin to come to the church, Collin was currently at the casino spinning the wheel. Collin went to the church and was shocked to see nearly all of the Apostles standing at the Alter waiting for Collin. Where Father Flowers told Collin that his work for the Apostles has not gone unnoticed and each Apostle said a few words to Collin this is where Collin found himself being promoted again this time to Elder and was also a member of the church council on April 29th 2023.
