## History

### Age 0-18 (Los Santos)

Carl Price was born and raised in the busy, crime filled, city of Los Santos in 1958. He grew up in a working-class family and had a relatively normal childhood. However, he always felt drawn to the law enforcement profession, dreaming of one day becoming a police officer.

In high school, Price had a keen eye for detail and never missed a thing. He played competitive football and played quarterback for his high school team, leading them to the finals 4 years in a row, winning only one in his senior year. He earned the title "Deadeye" for his lethal vision which he used to become America's 8th ranked quarterback in the country. Price was notoriously known for being a dirty player and players did not like him following the incident where Price was playing linebacker and illegally hit his rival, Danny Artino, sending him to the hospital, and ending his football career right there.

### Age 18-21 (Los Santos)

Straight out of high school, Price registered for the 1976 NFL draft, and was drafted in round 5 as the 128th pick to his hometown's Los Santos Rams. His career did not last long as the team always had a better option to play quarterback and by 21, Price only suited up for a total of 9 games and was dropped by his team. Feeling his life was going to waste, Price decided he was going to pursue his true calling, which was being a police officer.

### Age 21-23 (Los Santos)

Price immediately enrolled in the police academy following his departure from the NFL. He excelled in his studies and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a promising young officer. However, Price's eagerness to succeed and aggressive nature often led him to bend the rules and cut corners, which eventually caught up with him.

When Price was 22 years old, he was the lead investigator on a case which followed an allegedly corrupt politician named Mary Carter. Price never missed a detail and thus was sent undercover to pick up on anything Mary might slipped up on. Price got really close to her until one day she confessed to Price what she was doing after he caught her meeting with some shady people out in the middle of nowhere. She was buying off other politicians to garner more power within the city. Price had been learning Mary's entire life for a whole year and knew that she was not doing the corruption for herself, but rather for her mother who is being held in Colombia by a powerful cartel who have threatened to kill her if Mary does not allow them to bring drugs to America. He confessed that he was undercover and will continue to feed the police force wrong information to keep their eyes off her.

### Age 23-27 (Miami, Florida)

At the age of 23, Price was exposed as a corrupt officer, after they had their suspicions following a report that contradicted itself with a prior report. Price was released for having allowed illegal activities to go unchecked and failing to follow proper protocols. He was kicked off the police force, and thus his dreams of a career in law enforcement shattered.

However, not everything was bad news, as him and Mary decided to take their relationship further and get engaged. They moved in together and were planning their future together. Price decided he wanted to return to the police force, and was forced into a successful rehab center for police officers in Miami. The two of them moved to Miami for the 4 year period and official married down there while Price was trying to improve his life for his future.

With only months left before he could return to Los Santos and try again at becoming a police officer, he was awoken by police officers who delivered some terrible news. His wife Mary Price had been found shot and killed, due to a stray bullet from a gang war. She was simply just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The road to recovery was tough, but Price persevered, and eventually, he emerged as a changed, determined man.

### Age 27-Present (Los Santos)

With his past mistakes behind him, Price is now 27 and eager to get back into the force. The loss of his wife was devastating but Price used it more as motivation and she was his number one supporter on his road back to recovery. He wants to make amends for his previous actions and use his experience to help keep the city safe. Price knows that it won't be easy to regain the trust of his fellow officers and the community, but he's determined to prove himself and stay true to the principles of justice and integrity.
