James Ventura

James Ventura

James Ventura is a character on LastCallRP played by Williz.

## Early Life

James was born on October 31, 1996 to Judge Clayton Fergusson and Mariana Fergusson (born Ventura). He was raised in the Rockford Hills area of Los Santos, San Andreas. He has one older sister, Claire Fergusson. One day while out shopping, James (9 years old at the time) and his mother were hit and run by a drunk driver on Boulevard Del Perro. The incident left James extremely emotionally scared, resulting in the development of Sociopathy (something he keeps as well hidden as possible).

Following the death of his mother, his father began to spiral, resulting in an overwhelming amount of failed marriages. Due to this, a resentment grew within James for his father. James did not attend college or graduate from high school. Instead he found himself immersed into the darkside of the internet, leading him down a very shaky path that developed him into the man he is today.

### Meeting Hafthor

Not long after James found his passion noodling around on the darkside of the internet, he found himself falling deeper and deeper into a drug addiction. The addiction eventually lead to James involving himself in the night life of Los Santos. At a party he happened upon a Danish man, not too far off in age from himself, passing out anything and everything to partygoers. Hafthor Odvarson was fresh to Los Santos and looking for the best time imaginable. James' deep pockets and Thor's uncanny ability to get drugs lead to an unusual friendship that overtime grew into some form of brotherhood, at least as deep as James' sociopathy would allow him to go.

## TaskMaster (Pre Lastcall)

As time went on, James delved deeper and deeper into the darkside of the web. He grew his knowledge of tech and programming, eventually allowing him to become a masterclass hacker under the codename "Taskmaster". James' specialty was chaos. He would take down city networks just to watch government agencies scatter. Eventually, James turned his attention to the illegal accounts belonging to the corrupt politicians/government officials within the state of San Andreas. James amassed a fortune by taking money and dumping it into offshore, untraceable accounts tied to his father. His crowning moment as Taskmaster was designing a hacking software strong enough to knock down the firewalls used to protect the automated locking systems used by the Fleeca Bank franchise in San Andreas, as well as the systems used to guard Blaine County Savings and Pacific Standard. As the Taskmaster, James was able to play a role in ushering in a new wave of crime in Los Santos and Blaine County.

### Downfall

James' extreme activity eventually landed him on the watchlist of the FIB. After a falling out with one of his comrades (an unknown individual who worked under the codename "RedRum") James was given up to the FIB. James assisted the FIB in tracking down some low level terrorist cells present in the city in a trade off for his freedom. Following this, James left San Andreas for Japan.

## Return to San Andreas (Start of LastCall)

After a few years in Japan, James returned to San Andreas with his new personal guard Jon Nakamura. Upon returning to San Andreas, James had his name legally changed to his mothers last name, Ventura, in an attempt to further distance himself from his past and his family name.

During his time in Japan, James developed a relationship with a Yakuza branch operating out of Tokyo; he began operating under the new alias "Yokai".

### San Andreas Underground

James found that crime in San Andreas had died off significantly after the fall of the Taskmaster. Because of this he started up his old operation, only this time vowing to stay away from the tech side of things as much as possible. James combined his love for cars with this new plan, resulting in the birth of the San Andreas Underground. On the outside, the SAU looked like an underground racing league made up of low level street racers. In reality it was a wide reaching network that was used by James to gather information on big and small time players in the city. By keeping his ear to the ground, James was able to put together a network of highly influential people in the city that he worked with to influence the flow of crime in the city. It was through this influence that James was able to control the sale of weaponry, the sale of drugs and he was able to help get lower level crime back up and running by imparting the knowledge of how to do certain things around city upon the right people - effectively establishing himself as the criminal Kingpin of Los Santos.

Once James was satisfied with the flow of crime in the city, as well as after the death of Jon Nakamura, he took a step back from organized crime, vowing to never go that deep into the criminal world again.

## Phang Gang

Following stepping down as the criminal kingpin of the city, James sought out a much more simple life. Using information on individuals from around the city he began to surround himself with like-minded individuals that he believed would work well together to start a new crew. Alongside Eric Nicks, Jared Wells and Toni Phang, a new group was born in Los Santos: Phang Gang. Jimmy brought in long time associate and partner Enzo Kane and not long after the group happened upon a hotheaded and eager young individual named Jay Richards. The six of them came together to form the core of Phang Gang. It did not take long for Phang Gang to establish themselves as the biggest and deadliest group in Los Santos. Through James' deep pockets and connections and the effectiveness of the rest of the group, Phang Gang unleased a crime wave on Los Santos that hadn't been seen in a long time. From boosting to bank trucks and robberies, Phang Gang established themselves as effective, clinical and dangerous in their approach to crime.

Now, not long after the groups birth, new members have joined. Oaklyn York, Axl Kaine, Selene Kaine, Shane Cedar and Remi Johnson have joined the ranks of Phang Gang, officially making the group the biggest in the city.

## Whereabouts Unknown

On January 25, 2023 Jimmy disappeared from Los Santos shortly after leaving fellow Phang Gang member Eric Nicks with all of his cars but the R32. Jimmy's whereabouts are currently unknown, though it is assumed he is currently back in Japan.
