## Biography

Garrus is a first generation American born in Chicago, IL. His parents are Alex Vakarian and Helen Siska. He has one sister, Solana "Sol" Vakarian. Garrus grew up in the Windy City on the famous Mag Mile. His father emigrated to the United States from Armenia during the 1960s when the nation was still a satellite state of the USSR, working odd jobs until marrying Helen in 1974. His father would be granted a green card and eventually gained citizenship in 1976. His mother Helen was a second generation Greek American, having grown up in Liberty City and moving to Chicago in 1970. She began dating Alex after the two had a mishap in a hallway at her workplace. Helen was a project manager at the time, a rare occurence especially in the ever-evolving technology sector, while Alex was a custodian at the time under temporary employment.

Following their marriage things would go smoothly into the 1980s, with Garrus being born in 1984 and Solana being born in 1985. Alex would eventually become a police officer and made it to sergeant by 2001, retiring from police work at the age of 53. He would eventually become a firearms instructor, training police officers. Garrus would graduate high school in 2002 as the Valedictorian of his class of 119 students. His sister would follow suit the following year and Garrus would first join the police academy in 2003 and would leave the Chicago PD in 2009 to enlist in the Marines, becoming one of the deadliest marksmen in the Corps before returning home in 2014 after four tours in Afghanistan. He would return to the Chicago PD for about a year before choosing to head west to San Andreas. He would transfer to the Los Santos Police Department with many high regards from Superintendent Roy Coleman, granting him the rank of Lieutenant in 2017. He would serve in the LSPD alongside Lewis Singer, Chris Lopez, Richard Galloway, Adam Kingston, and his brief lover and future Sheriff of Blaine County, Jon Springer.

During his time in the LSPD, he would eventually partner up with then-newly recruited Commander Springer, having been poached from the Secret Service. The two would form a brief relationship and eventually split up a few months later after a rocky relationship. He would attempt to date Weronika Dacko, but things wouldn't work out and he would eventually resign from his position as Chief of Police in the LSPD rather abruptly, following a corruption scandal that would rock the upper command ranks of the department. It had been discovered that he pushed a recently terminated FIB agent accused of absuing her position as an ASAC within the Bureau to keep police from cracking down on a car theft ring involving Damon Barlowe and Aurora Fox.

Following his resignation, he would briefly hold a job as an armed officer working in the armed transport division of Gruppe Sechs. Both of the high value cargo routes he worked would result in hijackings and the cargo stolen. His partners were killed in both attacks. The first attack was carried out by Ritsuka Fujimaru, a suspected member of a local Yakuza clan within the city. The second would be carried out by the former sheriff of Los Santos County and would end with Garrus' partner being shot in the face and Garrus being shot in the leg and left to bleed out in an alley in Del Perro. He would survive the attack and resign from G6, eventually running for the Senate with the goal of changing politics for the better. This would be unsuccessful politically but would end with him in a relationship with AmbiguX Halcyon co-CEO Alyx Vance.

This relationship would eventually become invaluable when Alyx was left clinging to life after an accident on Halloween of 2022 would lead to her entire left arm and hand being replaced with prosthetics. He would spend most of his career as Senator in San Andreas, with then-Governor Skitterly's support, caring for Alyx at every turn, helping to rehabilitate her and get her back to work. He would take a job offer from AmbiguX Halcyon's COO, Eva Coré, and become the CTO of the company's OmniCorp subsidiary, taking direct charge of it's controversial OmniCab armored and autonomous taxicab program. He would meet with Grey Party, Michael Defledhead and Eva to discuss the future of Chambers International. It's rumored that he would take the role of his fiance as co-CEO, though nothing has been confirmed yet.
