Backstory
Tom Porter grew up in Oslo, Norway where he had to learn his own ways of survival, he didn't grow up with parents and only knew about his grandpa that lived up north. He had to survive by stealing from shops and take food from outside shops when the owner didn't look. He slowly understood that the better way to survive would be to work for the people he stole from and earn his way to a better means of living.

A guy from Great Britian that worked along side him asked Tom one day if he wanted to work with him on their own front back in London, seeing Tom didn't have much to loose he decided to come with. They were working in a resturant where they were selling high proof alcohol on the side. As things started to get heated in that front they decided to take a "vacation" to Los Santos. They saw the oppertunity in Los Santos and decided that this would be the new place for their operations.

The First Job
Tom and his Mentor decided that they wanted to get their hands dirty pretty quickly, so they went through some dumbsters and found a knife and a trash pistol. They went around to find someone they could hold up but with no one around they found a teddy bear. They manage to ask for free passage to their escape car and drove away. Tom's mentor managed to crash the car, they both went on foot. Tom managed to escape while his mentor took the fall.

Friends Become Family
After some time, Tom found himself some friends that were in high places. Gunnar, Clark, Reg and Brian. These would be his partners in crime for most of his criminal life, soon it became clear they all acted like a big family and that was what they became. A crime family.

Doing Crime The Right Way
Tom had problems with how criminals in Los Santos treated their work, they took a mastercraft and treated it like something they can play around with. Bank jobs is a craft that Tom had mastered just after a couple of jobs with his family, the criminals in Los Santos just thought about the payday meanwhile Tom and his crime family thought about everything else. They took care of the hostages, they treated the job as professionals and made sure they had the upper hand with the police. Tom and his crime family slowly became a common name between criminals in Los Santos as being "master bank robbers". For Tom, doing bank jobs was just more than just getting money. It was about sending a message. Tom would often in the first stages take off his mask to make sure that the police knows that Tom doesn't care about if they knew who he was or not, it was about showing that he could do it in his normals clothes and still get away.

Taken Too Early
Tom's friend and family member Gunnar had some problems with gambling, it was shown in the most aggresive way possible. Gunnar liked to gamble away items and money for the thrill and not for the gains. As Gunnar had lost a good amount and was in debt to a family member, he became enraged with himself. One day he was at a car dealership, a cop came through the door. Gunnar has a strong dislike to cops and as he didn't have a good day he decided to run towards that officer with a baseball bat.

Gunnar was shot in the head and died instantly, there was no warnings, no verbal warnings or attempts to try less force by the officer.

Tom wasn't present for the events that unfolded and learned about it after Gunnar's body was already taken away, he couldn't even say goodbye to one of his family members. All Tom could do was sit there. That day, one of the officers in the LSPD had set up a big target on himself without knowing it.

The Start Of ███████
