Backstory
Kellogg Farnsworth was born in 1992 in Liberty City to two loving parents, William and Amelia Farnsworth. Kellogg lived a relatively normal childhood. He went to school, made friends, and did everything your average child did growing up. When Kellogg was 13 his parents took him to an amusement park. It was a fantastic family vacation until his parents got into a heated argument. Kellogg was just out of earshot, perusing the souvenir shops, lost in his own world. He was completely oblivious of the feud happening between his parents. The fight ended with his parents storming off in different directions. His mom used a nearby payphone to call her friend to come pick her up. She would spend the next two days staying at her friend's house. His dad stormed off to the car and left to go back home. In the heat of the moment, both William and Amelia forgot about their son, who's exciting day out would turn into a nightmare that would haunt him well into adulthood.

Kellogg eventually grew tired of looking at overpriced park merchandise and returned to where he last remembered seeing his parents. Instead of finding them, he found a different family. Kellogg did a slow 360-degree spin, searching for his parents, but they were nowhere to be found. Assuming they must have wandered off, he set off to find them. He circled the park multiple times and checked in every shop and restaurant, but to no avail. This is when Kellogg started to panic. The sun had already set and the park was closing soon. This is where any normal child would have tried to find a park employee to say they lost their parents, but Kellogg was not normal. His mother instilled a deep fear of being kidnapped into him at a young age. His mother made up a story, telling him that when they were young, her sister once spoke to a stranger, was kidnapped, and never seen again. This story, although very extreme, had good intentions. This story would contribute to the next two days, which would be the most terrifying days of his life up until this point.

Kellogg’s fear of being kidnapped and talking to strangers meant he was too afraid to seek out help. He had no money for food and even if he had some change for a payphone, he didn’t know his phone number. So instead of finding help, he hid. He found a hiding spot inside the Haunted House ride. He knew the gruesome animatronics inside were fake, but that didn’t make them any less scary. When the park had fully closed for the night and all the staff had gone home for the night, he left his hiding spot and found the bedroom of the Haunted House and crawled into the bed. The blankets were covered in dust and the mattress was plywood with a bedsheet over it, but it was a place to sleep. He would spend the next two nights sleeping in this bed. He would awaken with the sun and return to his hiding spot before staff returned for the next day. Once the park opened, he would emerge from his spot and sit by the entrance to wait for his parents. He would eat the unfinished food that patrons left at their tables and drink from the water fountains. He did this routine for the two days he was stuck in the park. He had never felt more alone than he did during these days.

His parents didn’t realize he was missing until his mother returned home. Each thought that Kellogg was with the other. Their hearts sank when they realized they had left him at the amusement park. They immediately called to see if their son had been found. Luckily for them, multiple staff members had reported seeing a young child wandering the park unsupervised multiple days in a row. One staff member even recalled seeing him eating left-over food. Park security had found Kellogg and brought him into the security office to wait for his parents. Kellogg was overjoyed when his parents walked into the room and he realized that he was not being kidnapped. This event left Kellogg traumatized and gave him long lasting abandonment issues. After this incident, his parents realized they needed marriage counseling and immediately started seeking help for their problems.

Kellogg lived a somewhat normal life for the next several years. As he got older his abandonment anxiety became less focused on not being able to find someone he was just with, but more so on relationships. He became very anxious when he thought he was going to be losing a friend or relationship for good. He did everything he could to preserve friendships, and even make new ones because he hated being alone. Kellogg became very driven to make as many friends as he could while keeping old ones.

Kellogg had a best friend named Harry; whom he met when they were freshmen in high school. They were extremely close and did everything together. They had plans of traveling the world together when they got out of high school. They wanted to experience the many cultures and sights that the planet had to offer. They graduated high school in 2011 and very quickly found out that the plan of traveling the globe would be a bit more difficult than they had originally thought. They thought they could save up for their trip fairly easily, but forgot to take into account that they would now have to use their money for bills and survival. In 2012 Kellogg took a job as a pizza delivery boy to make some cash while Harry worked at the local electronics store. Together they were able to afford an apartment. What could be better than two best friends becoming roommates?

Kellogg and Harry were able to pay their bills and live semi-comfortably, but at this rate they were never going to be able to fulfill their dreams of seeing the world. In the fall of 2015 Kellogg decided to enroll at the local community college in the hopes of bettering himself and getting a higher paying job. Kellogg's love of sci-fi tv and movies influenced him to major in astrophysics. While attending college, Kellogg met a woman named Laura. They hit it off and became romantically involved within a few months. By 2016 Kellogg had dropped out of college. Unfortunately for him, he was not quite intelligent enough for that major and had an extremely difficult time with the work. By 2017 Harry had a steady girlfriend named Tracy, and was moving in to her apartment. Kellogg now had an open spot in his apartment that he needed to fill, so Laura moved in.

Everything had been going fairly decently for Kellogg when tragedy struck. In October of 2018 Kellogg and Harry were walking home late at night from a Sci-fi convention when they were approached by a shady looking man. The man asked the pair for a cigarette, but neither of them smoked. When they told him they didn’t smoke, he grew angry, claiming there was something they must be able to offer him. Harry told the guy to get lost and pushed past him. The deranged individual pulled a gun on them and instructed them to empty their pockets. Kellogg became extremely nervous and started shaking with fear. He managed to force out the words “Please don’t hurt us,” as he reached into his pocket for his wallet. Before he could get his wallet out, Harry charged at the gunman and was shot in the neck. The gunman took everything from Harry and Kellogg's pockets before running away into the night. Kellogg sat on his knees, sobbing hysterically and holding his dying friend, yelling at him to hold on. Harry died before EMS arrived on scene.

The death of Harry broke Kellogg. He became an inconsolable mess for many months afterwards. He had recurring nightmares, reliving the night he lost his best friend. Laura did her best to support him, but his sorrow was too deep. Kellogg was forever scarred with the memory of his friend getting shot, leading to an extreme fear of guns. Eventually Laura convinced her boyfriend to go to therapy. This was extremely beneficial for Kellogg, who within a year was almost his old self. He continued seeing a therapist until 2020. At this point he felt like he no longer needed their assistance, and thanked them for helping him get his life back on track. Kellogg still has an extreme fear of guns to this day. It triggers memories of what he considers to be the worst day of his life.

Since the day of Harrys murder, Laura was the sole provider of the apartment. Kellogg left his job and was understandably too distraught to work at first, but he was much better within the year. Kellogg had fallen into a deep rut and became extremely lazy. Whenever Laura suggested that he return to work, he always had an excuse of why he couldn’t, or that he was looking but there was nothing out there. Laura suggested that he try to get his old pizza delivery job back, but Kellogg claimed that he already tried and they were not hiring. After several months of this, Laura got suspicious and called his old pizza place. She asked if Kellogg had inquired about getting his old job back. The manager told her that for the last couple years the only times they have heard from Kellogg was when he was ordering pizza. He never tried to get his job back. This enrages Laura who decides it's time to end things.

The task of breaking up with Kellogg was harder than she thought. He really was a sweet guy, but he was less than intelligent and fell into a deep habit of sitting on the couch and doing nothing. She decided she wouldn’t be able to kick him out for fear of breaking his heart and accidently bumping into him around the city. She decided the best thing to was to trick him. He always talked about how he wanted to see the world with Harry. Harry had family in Los Santos who would gladly help Kellogg out, but she didn’t think she could convince him to make the flight. Instead, she relied on Kellogg's lack of awareness. She told him that they were going to help keep Harrys legacy alive, that she booked a cruise for the two of them. The cruise supposedly left from Vice City and went down to the Caribbean. She wasn’t even sure her plan would work. It's no secret that Kellogg's IQ was the same as his shoe size, but he did know how to read. Saying they were going to Vice City, but handing him a ticket to Los Santos could very easily backfire. She took the risk, and it worked. She took solace in the hope that once Kellogg learned where he really was, that he would seek out Harrys family for help. But little did Laura know; Harrys Family had left a year earlier, and no longer live in Los Santos.

The day of the flight Laura drove both of them to the airport. She told Kellogg that the tickets were discount tickets and that the destination on the tickets might be printed wrong, but the gate numbers are indeed correct. Upon arrival to their gate, she told Kellogg that she had forgotten to turn off the stove and needed to go back home and shut it off so she didn’t burn the whole apartment complex down. She claimed she would take the next plane down and meet him there. Kellogg being Kellogg bought the whole story and excitedly walked into the airport. The plan worked flawlessly, and Kellogg unknowingly boarded the plane to Los Santos. Laura felt terrible about what she had done. She decided to text Kellogg that she was breaking up with him, but he was already airborne and didn’t receive the text until he landed. She blocked him after she sent the text.

Life in Los Santos
Kellogg's first days in Los Santos were interesting and confusing. His now ex-girlfriend told him they were going to Vice City, so Kellogg thought he was somewhere else entirely. After several days of strange conversations, Kellogg finally realizes he isn't in Vice City, but Los Santos. This was a city that his best friend Harry used to talk about all the time before he was killed. Kellogg decided the best thing he could do was to make the most of it, and off he went to start a new life.

Very early on in his adventures he met Maxine Feral, who later introduced him to Grock Mulla and John Jensen. The group quickly became very good friends and began hanging out together whenever they could. Maxine had an extreme hatred for Burger Shot, claiming their unhealthy food killed most of her family, so she started the group, Fat Earth Society, a group dedicated to bringing down Burger Shot. Kellogg had no problems with Burger Shot, and even ate there regularly. Being loyal to his friends, Kellogg agreed to help Maxine with her endeavors, even if he didn't believe in the cause. Ultimately the group was unsuccessful and fell apart when Maxine eventually left Los Santos. Kellogg, Grock, and John all continued to hang out and get into all kinds of shenanigans. John eventually left the city, and Grock joined Marabunta Grande, where he would spend most of his time.

Kellogg eventually took a job as a bartender at the Mirror Park Tavern. He would befriend the other bartenders and people who hung around the tavern. It was here he met two people who would become his new best friends, Bunnie Bunsworth and Kylie Stokes. The three would support each other in the very dark days ahead. Kellogg remained at the tavern until secrets regarding his deal with the Lady of the Lake came to light. He was then fired from the tavern, hunted down, and exiled.

After the events of the Lady of the Lake, Kellogg would spend the next 8 months traveling the world and uncovering dark secrets about his past.
