Russell Jackson

**Russell "Rusty" Jackson** is a registered character. He was created in August of 2021.

## Biography

Russell "Rusty" Jackson was born on April 16th, 1965 in Acter, Alderney. He was the second child of loving but busy parents. Once he reached adolescence, his parents divorced, and he remained with his father. His mother and sister moved to Los Santos.

Rusty was often disobedient and had trouble dealing with authority in his teenage years. With little supervision and being spoiled by his father despite his increasingly irresponsible actions, it was easy for this behavior to escalate. He ended up assaulting two teachers, so his high school expelled him.

Around this time, he connected with his future wife, Cheryl, as his rebellious attitude attracted her. They began dating, and she introduced him to the Alderney chapter of The Lost, as her brother was a patched member. Rusty, a dedicated motorcycle enthusiast, considered the club his new family and focused on obtaining membership.

He became a fully patched member in 1985. Due to his reckless nature, Rusty was among five bikers arrested by the authorities for arson in 1991. The same year, he conceived his only child with Cheryl, and the boy was born in 1992. The two married in 1995 while Rusty was incarcerated.

He would remain with the Alderney chapter until they moved to Los Santos in 2005. He wanted his son to grow up knowing his grandmother and aunt, so he attempted to reconnect with them. However, their relationship was hostile as they considered his lifestyle dangerous. The rising tensions within the family caused his sister to call child protective services on him, but the case was closed. As a result, their family would forever be fractured.

Russell and his household lived in the city until 2012, when he switched to the Blaine County chapter, as The Lost had established their presence up north to pursue further riches. The following year, since the club had continued its expansion, it faced plenty of resistance from law enforcement and rival gangs. Their greed destroyed the chapter, as many prominent club members were killed or arrested, and their Stab City compound was destroyed. The remaining chapter members were forced back to Los Santos after the devastation.

Amid the chaos and disorganization within the chapter, Rusty stepped up as president. He sought to rebuild from the ground up and re-establish the chapter's prominence in Blaine County. However, he understood that such a task would be impossible without the appropriate manpower, so he recruited from the Los Santos chapter. The word quickly reached Ozzie Gardner and Kenneth Reed, who became the two original members to enter the rebuilt chapter.

Nearly a decade later, the club established a solid regional presence, and its leadership is stronger than ever. Furthermore, as they have expanded their numbers, many members demonstrate their loyalty by carrying out illicit business for the brotherhood. Their most successful enterprises include arms and drug trafficking, which remain undisturbed due to their discreet practices.

## Personality

Russell takes his oath as leader of The Lost very seriously, as he will not hesitate to unleash his fury on rival gangs that dare to oppose him. Despite his willingness to use violence, he will never hurt innocent people, and his wrath is saved exclusively for anyone who makes the mistake of harming his brothers.
