Harrier Du Bois Anderson

## Early life

Harrier Du Bois Anderson was born in Byesville Ohio on September 28th, 1985 to Archer Du Bois Anderson and Ellie Du Bois Anderson. Around 13 months after his birth, his father, Archer Du Bois Anderson, very quickly realizing the extremely miniscule size of the town as well as the low pay from being the only detective in the town, combined with the low crime rate, made living damn near impossible to support, especially with a child.
They made the decision to pack up everything they had and move to Los Santos on October 12th, 1986.

After moving to Los Santos, Ellie got a simple job as a dispatcher for LSPD, Archer very quickly rose through the ranks of LSPD, reaching the rank of Lieutenant and proving himself a competent detective due to his extremely unique method of investigation, managing to grab leads from almost nothing. This led to him becoming an extremely well revered detective in LSPD, where at the time, homicide rates were so exponentially high that the precinct he worked in; and it's subsequent police station was dubbed by many as "The place where the river runs red". Shortly after Harrier turned 5 years old, his father was assigned a case relating to a large number of kidnappings and disappearances in the area as well as leads to a human trafficking operation being ran alongside it.

On April 16th, 1991. The investigation reached it's climax when the main operators of this human trafficking operation broke into the household of the Du Bois while dressed in extremely disfigured and contorted clown outfits. They had but a simple objective, discourage the investigation as much as possible. They held Harrier at gunpoint, pushing the barrel of a 9mm pistol to his temple. Harrier cried helplessly as he watched his mother try to protect him, though her efforts were in vain. She was beaten unconscious and kidnapped from the household, hastily being sold into the human trafficking ring. The aftermath of this traumatic incident mentally scarred Harrier into developing coulrophobia to the point where he attempts to flee or fight anyone who wears a clown outfit or drives a clown car. In the subsequent year following her kidnapping, Archer tried as hard as he possibly could to protect Harrier while juggling trying to solve the case.

On March 23rd 1992, Ellie managed to temporarily escape from the traffickers' custody and return home. However this only lasted for 3 days before she would succumb to withdrawal and overdose in the bathroom on the floor. The heartbreak and despair brought by this event. The family mourned for the loss of her life. Archer continues to try to be the best dad he could be to Harrier, though this did lead to Harrier becoming socially isolated and give him a strong desire to be alone by the time he turned 6.

Shortly after his 6th birthday, on October 2nd 1991, one of his classmates, Julia Lochheart, took a particular interest in Harrier due to his rather odd behavior for a kid his age, she began to talk to him, where she very quickly became the only friend he had throughout elementary school. Julia was a rather odd girl, stemming from a rather prestigious family of police consultants turned elitists. Though Julia didn't share the mentality of elitisms, she didn't know much about what people who lived paycheck to paycheck were like, people like Archer and Harrier.

While Harrier was at the age of 7, on August 16th, 1993, Archer's outlook relating to the death of his wife and the rapidly modernizing world led to him to an increasingly unstable mental state, this event led Archer to become a habitual alcohol user, as well as begin his eventual obsession with classic rock such as Aerosmith, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi and Van Halen, as well as more odd music choices such as Beegees and The Backstreet Boys. Though he still tried to be the best father he could to Harrier despite his decreasing mental stability.

## Late childhood \*\*WORK IN PROGRESS\*\*

On December 3th, 1995, at the age of 10, Harrier begins to be brought to MRPD 4 days a week by Archer so he can supervise him as well as let him learn about the LSPD. Harrier witnessed his father's leadership over the major crimes unit and how effective it was, no man was lounging around, everyone had a job and a key role to play. It amazed him to see how well people could be organized.
