## Biography

Chris Lawrence Lopez was born in Los Santos on February 17th, 1978. The only child to David and Nancy, his parents were the two people he admired most in his life. After much encouragement from his family, the ambitious boy graduated high school and enrolled in college to earn a business degree. Once he concluded his college studies, he started his own small business with the help of his father. However, their idea flopped in the highly competitive urban economy, and they had to close their business shortly afterward.

After this initial failure, he entered the Los Santos Police Department. Starting his career in 2002, his unscrupulous side came into play as he frequently accepted bribes and agreed to do odd jobs for criminals. Eventually, his connections earned him an executive spot at Bellic Enterprises, so he left the force in 2017. Not long after his career change, Matt Thompson offered Chris to enter his upcoming candidacy for Mayor of Los Santos as his running mate, and he accepted the offer as a chance at power and fame.

Following an extensive campaign, Chris and Matt won the 2017 election, so he was inaugurated as the Deputy Mayor of Los Santos. Unexpectedly, Matt was swept up in a corruption scandal halfway through their term and resigned, so Chris was sworn in as the 49th Mayor of Los Santos. As one of his first actions, he appointed businessman and lawyer Jack London as his Deputy Mayor. Upon reaching the next election, the duo organized a successful bid for a full term in office, as they were victorious with 68% of the vote.

In late 2018, Chris ran for an open United States Senate seat from San Andreas, which proved very easy as he was unopposed. He left City Hall and began his tenure on March 13th, 2019. During his term, he introduced and voted in favor of legislation that he felt would make him popular with his constituents. Furthermore, he served as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

During the summer of 2019, at the wish of his late mother, Chris took his political ambitions to the next level and announced his bid for the White House. This announcement was unexpected, as Lopez had misled the opposition to believe he would run for Governor of San Andreas. Despite his tricky tactics, the Republican nomination was closely contested, as he defeated Nathalie Hawkings with 53% of the vote. A week later, he announced former White House Chief of Staff Alfred Skiterrly as his running mate. Filled with perseverance, the duo participated in an ambitious campaign across the country.

Once election night arrived, they successfully defeated Johnny Crawford and Frank Higden in the general election with 66% of the vote. Coincidentally, the battle was a rematch from the 2018 Mayor of Los Santos election, which Lopez also won. As the country recuperated from a heated election season, the inauguration of Chris Lopez as the 53rd President of the United States occurred on November 12th, 2019.

After only one term, he departed from the presidency in July 2020, as he declined to seek re-election despite encouragement from his Republican peers. The same month, he was selected as the new CEO of AmbiguX. He would maintain this position for 16 months until he resigned, as President Mike Kushner nominated him to serve as the 72nd United States Secretary of State, and he returned to the District of Columbia for the first time since his presidency.

In the spring of 2022, Chris returned to Los Santos after he resigned from the federal government. A month later, following the historic merger of AmbiguX and Halcyon, he was elevated to co-CEO of AmbiguX Halcyon. The company swiftly finalized its appointment despite public concerns over monopolization and anti-consumer practices. Since that day, he has served alongside Michael Defledhead and Alyxandra Vance in managing the day-to-day operations.

Two months later, he reconnected with Primrose Midwinter, the sister of Zephyr Defledhead, after the duo initially met two years ago. Acting on a recommendation from her older sister, Primrose spoke with Chris regarding employment opportunities in Los Santos. However, what seemed purely business developed into something more, as they enjoyed their conversations. To illustrate, they regularly spent time together as Chris supplied his advice, leading to mutual romantic interest. As of the present day, the two remain in a committed relationship, as they live together in their Lake Vinewood residence.

As of 2023, Chris identifies as a member of the Epsilon Program. In late April, he was spotted wearing a robe associated with the religious cult. It is suspected that he makes significant financial contributions to its cause. Later that year, on Christmas Day, Chris proposed to Primrose while attending the Defledhead family's holiday festivities.

## Personality

Chris is exceptionally protective of his friends and family, which is credited as his most admirable quality. Not wanting his actions to hurt his loved ones, he is willing to step outside the boundaries of his job to protect them. As a socially confident individual, he is pleasant to others, eager to meet new people, and ruthless when required. He can sympathize with most people regardless of their background or upbringing.

Even though Chris seems cheerful in his social life, he can be easily overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, showing neurotic behaviors such as constantly talking to himself out loud and venting to his friends. He can typically overcome these difficulties, eventually calming down enough to formulate a plan. Additionally, his paranoia can be an issue, as he wrongly speculates that people want to undermine him, even close friends. In fact, he wiretapped his close friend and White House predecessor, Michael Defledhead, over an irrational fear that he and foreign leaders were conspiring against him. He manages these issues without therapy, worrying that his enemies will use them against him.

Politically, Chris is described as a moderate conservative, leaning towards the Republican Party. As such, he is registered as a Republican and favored many conservative policies while serving in office. Nevertheless, his willingness for bipartisanship and compromise allowed him to succeed in a progressive state like San Andreas. In comparison to the mainstream GOP, especially after entering his relationship with Primrose, his values seem increasingly liberal.

Willing to do whatever it takes to get his way, he is often greedy and almost morally bankrupt. For instance, Chris is an excellent manipulator who can easily trick people and spread misinformation. These deceptive traits allowed him to become a ruthless businessman and political leader. Along with the remarkable achievement in his life, he grew accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle with expensive houses, luxury vehicles, and other costly tastes.

Before starting his relationship with Primrose, he was a lonely individual who hooked up with strippers and porn stars. It remains unspecified if he was previously in a committed relationship. Even though his careers require him to appear in the public eye frequently, he enjoys his private life and holds many secrets. Since his most recent return to Los Santos, he has purposefully avoided the limelight, instead focusing on corporate management and his personal affairs.
