Holden Maddox

Holden Maddox is a character role-played by BananaDuck.

Description
Holden is a year old man spending his retirement life in Los Santos. While not hanging around with his friend James Randal and the Cuban Federales, or stabbing people willingly or accidentally, Holden is found at his grandson's business Ottos Autos' break room making tea.

Background
Born in London, Holden is a veteran of the Second World War, having served in the North African Campaign as part of the 11th Hussars, supported by the 1st Royal Tank Regiment under General Bernard Montgomery. After the war he spent 45 years in the Special Forces where he specialised in knife combat and counter-intelligence. Maddox is not his real last name, it being only the most recent one to have been assigned to him due to the sensitive nature of his career.

At some point in his life he married, although the union was an unhappy one and Holden was glad when his wife disappeared and possibly died. He also claims to have had a daughter (possibly granddaughter) that died after falling out of an air plane window. His mother was from Edinburgh and raised him with traditional Victorian values in mind. His values were also heavily shaped by his WWII military service which is why he despises tyranny, bigotry, bullying and discrimination in all it's forms.

He was invited to Los Santos by his good friend James Randal. Being unable to enjoy a quiet retirement after a lifetime of military service, he likes to spend his time interacting with the citizens of Los Santos, occasionally offering them the use of his services. It is unclear how much of his senility is real as he sometimes plays it up in order to lull people into thinking he's just a harmless old man.

Trivia

 * Holden is not James Randal.
 * Because of his time in the city, Holden has become accustomed of the lingo of the young people, thus throwing out words like "My G" or "finna stab a bitch".
 * Being a former spy, he offered his service to Patar Bellosh of The Mandem during their war against Seaside providing espionage in their turf.
 * At some point in the past Holden abandoned his then wife, Shakira Maddox, in Finland taking with him her prosthetic legs only for her to seek him out in Los Santos to request the return of her legs.  He eventually disposed of her from the top of Maze Bank Tower.
 * Holden enjoys playing "Pushy push" with James where they both push against each other in silence. This is often confusing for others in the surrounding area.
 * He once stabbed 87 people during one day in The James Games.
