## **Backstory**

Isaiah “IZZY” Amari is a half Lebonese, half Thai, 2nd gen immigrant.

Izzy was born into Bikie pedigree, his father, grandfather, uncles and cousins are all patched and life members of The Lunatix MC. Izzy was the outcast. He is the oldest of 4 brothers and was the main carer for the 3 other boys, due to his father being locked up all his life and his mother being your stereotypical crack fiend - absent at the best of times, abusive and unstable at the worst. Izzy did his best to lead his brothers into a better life and hated the idea of being a Bikie. Growing up he made every attempt to keep his brothers away from that life.

Izzy believed that the MC life was the root of all issues he and his brothers had to deal with. But the lure of easy, fast money was too much for the brothers and they quickly followed the same path as the average street thug while still avoiding the MC life at all costs. As the boys grew older, tragically, at the age of 18, Izzy lost one of his brothers to gang violence. This caused a massive negative effect on Izzy. Spiralling out of control, he fell into expensive drugs and fast women.

Izzy was finding everything he worked so hard to build was crumbling at his feet. At the age of 21 he found himself alone and with no family. One brother, dead to gang violence. The other two, locked up with their father for life. It was at this point he found he had no option but to find salvation with the MC. One of Izzy's close friends had told him about the “mother chapter” over in San Andreas, and how that chapter would be the best option for Izzy due to the strong brotherhood and family mentality that the current president (Baz “Prez” Power) was famous for. With nowhere left to turn, he used the last of his money to buy a one-way ticket to San Andreas.

21, alone, broke and homeless, he began his new life in San Andreas, sleeping on couches of acquaintances he had made through his short 21 years. Eventually, he ran into the now late Chris Snapshot - former treasurer of the Lunatix MC. Izzy kept his past hidden, not wanting any knowledge of his past to affect his life here in Los Santos. Snapshot grew quite fond of Izzy, inviting him to club parties and events that the MC would run. He would often send Izzy on small missions running the ball, moving drugs, collecting payments, stealing cars, and robbing houses. As time went on, Izzy formed a small crew of hang-arounds to which he grew incredibly attached to. To him, they were filling the slot of his fallen and incarcerated brothers. It gave him the same sense of family and loyalty.

Izzy formed a strong brotherhood with these boys, eventually earning the trust of current Life member, and king drug pusher, Mark Zander. Izzy and the hangarounds started to work incredibly close with Mark, pushing drugs every day, making as much money as they could to benefit the club. To put it in perspective, between the crew of 5, they would average 2million dollars in drug money throughout one night. He found himself a new family and a new reason to live. Over the months that followed he started to meet, and grow attached to all members of the club.

But again, as if life likes to hit him hard, he found himself mourning the death of his mentor, Chris Snapshot. Chris was executed for disrespecting and disobeying the club at the hands of the former VP, Justis Mcdonald. Izzy found himself at a crossroads, unsure where to go. In one hand, he had the trust and loyalty of the man that looked after him in the early days of his time in San Andreas. And in the other, the MC he had been working so hard to earn the trust of, a family he had grown to love and respect.

Naturally, Izzy chose the club and continued his blind pursuit to find and be accepted into a brotherhood. As time continued, ironically, Izzy was nominated by the Former VP himself, Justis “Juzzy” Mcdonald, and was put up to vote. Izzy was unanimously accepted by the entire club. It did not take long for Izzy to progress through the ranks. Within the year he was given his full patch and never stopped working to better himself for his family. The club as a whole has well and truly taken place of the family he once had and the loyalty Izzy shows to the club is reflected in the way he has been treated by the elite members. Only months after receiving his full patch Izzy was given the honour of wearing the enforcer patch. At age 23, Izzy was the youngest enforcer the club had ever seen. Izzy took on the responsibility to work under the now late Mitch Taylor - former Sgt. At Arms of the Lunatix MC. Izzy and the Sarge would work closely together, ensuring the safety of the club.

Naturally, this position suited Izzy to the T. His protective instinct allowed him to put the club first and having the safety of his brothers at heart gave him the ability to do what needed to be done and say what needed to be said. To the public eye, it may have seemed that Izzy was hyper-aggressive and overly strict. They would fail to see that he only has the best interests of the club at heart, and acts this way to ensure the same fate of his fallen brothers does not come to his remaining family. After the tragic death of Mitch Taylor, Izzy was appointed the next Sgt. At Arms. Izzy found himself struggling to fill the position, as he would constantly try to imitate the way Mitch had operated, until eventually he found his own path and way of leading. Fast forward to today and Izzy has been with the club for 5+ years. Now the National Sgt. At Arms, standing side by side with his brothers each day. Now, more than ever, he has found the family he was so desperately chasing.
