Description
Nazir is a neatly-dressed Kazakhstani man with a kind demeanor. He is often seen working hard as the janitor at Rooster's Rest. Nazir doesn't seek conflict and will walk away from most confrontations. However, Nazir will retaliate with extreme violence if he is provoked too far.

Background
In his youth, Nazir hung around individuals he once considered his friends and brothers, they would call themselves the Koyoty (койоты); meaning The Coyotes in Russian. They would spend their days roaming around the town, always finding a way to get themselves into trouble with the town elders.

You see, in the town of Taraz, the responsibility of keeping the peace and handling internal disputes were done by the town elders. The elders have watched over the town for many years since the local law enforcement were incompetent and easily bribed and this led to a phase of chaos and conflict amongst the people of Taraz. The elders represented the major and oldest families of the town, and it was seen to be a great honor to be apart of the elders. Nazir’s father was the leader of the elders and was referred as the Don in his close circles.

Nazir’s friends and even himself despised them, as they would continually find ways to ruin their “fun” meanwhile they would just dismiss them as being too old to understand what they were doing. None of them worked, they were too busy smoking dokha (Iranian tobacco), chasing girls, and disrupting the local business. After multiple of confrontation with the elders, Nazir’s father decided to lock them up in an abandoned former soviet clothing factory to teach them a lesson.

They were kept in the factory for five summer days in the month of August, and these five days changed everything for each single one of them. The factory was in a relatively good condition, the main floor had plenty of space for them to move around in and sleep comfortably using the leftover material used in the factory. They were ten guys, between the ages of 15-19 and none of them had a clue what to do, except Gassan. Gassan was Nazir’s closest friend, he introduced him to the rest of the Koyotys, Gassan’s family immigrated to Taraz after the cold war from Russia, his parents died enroute to the town and Nazir never knew how it happened.

He carried a chip on his shoulder, getting himself into trouble from a very young age but he always had Nazir’s back. On their third day in lockup, a couple of the guys found red berets, that were left behind in ’91 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. Gassan handed everyone the berets and began to give us a speech about the elders and they wicked ways. For the first time since lockup, they stopped pitting themselves and wanted revenge.

Gassan explained to them that they must fight back and prevent the elders from controlling them, and on the third day of their lockup, the Koyotys were formed, and the factory deemed their new home. Koyoty was used by the elders to tease Gassan, as he was seen as an outsider and his presence only brought trouble. The day of release, a couple of the elders came to unlock the main gate doors and proceeded to enter the main floor, seeing the Koyotys completely settled in, wearing the red berets and refusing the leave.

The factory was located a few miles outside of the town and the elders thought that by allowing the Koyotys to control the factory and out of the public’s eye, they couldn’t possibly bother anyone this far from town. This was their biggest mistake. The factory gave a home to all the crazy ideas the Koyotys had, they decided to use the main floor to repackage the dokha they bought from the neighboring province and resell it in town and any local shop looking to sell dokha would be harassed repeatedly until the Koyotys sellers became the only source of dokha within Taraz. They would mix the dokha they bought with cheaper tobacco to maximize their profits, this was all a part of Gassan’s plan to finance the gang.

With the success of the dokha sales, they were able to recruit new members and they began to grow. At their peak, the Koyotys had around 40 members. Each single Koyoty had to leave his home and stay at the factory and their working hours depended on what needed to be done. This was extremely challenging for Nazir, as he was close to his family; especially his younger sister. Despite what his family thought, he saw his involvement with the Koyotys as good thing because it meant he could provide and support his family.

Initially the elders overlooked their sale of dokha, as it was legal within the country of Kazakhstan; but as the customer list grew so did their discomfort towards it. Cigarettes and dokha are similar, they both mainly consist of tobacco but the difference between the two was that dokha tobacco was given extra nicotine which would give the user a short temporary buzz and cause inactivity. The higher usage of dokha was seen as a plague by the elders, so they decided to ban it and attack anyone selling the product.

This led to multiple fights being broken out on the streets of Taraz between the elders and Nazir’s gang, the Koyotys. No one was ever killed in these fights; the elders saw the fights as a method to discourage the Koyotys from disobeying the ban. After a few weeks since the ban was declared, Nazir approached his father; the Don. He was attempting to reason with him regarding the Dokha ban, much to his surprise his father was quite agreeable. He saw the dokha issue as a political one, the elders decided to institute the ban due to the increasing revenue being generated by the Koyotes. He shared with Nazir his true plans and how he wanted to spread the dokha sales to neighboring cities but due to the conservative views some of the elders had, he felt an action of this magnitude will cause unrest amongst the senior most elders.

Bejimin was seen as the second most senior member amongst the elders only behind Nazir’s father, he and his father disputed constantly over the future of the elders. Nazir’s father wanted the elders to grow its power within Taraz, while Bejimin wanted to retain the core values the group originally had. These disputes lead to much turmoil between the elder members and his father’s plan integrating the Koyote’s dokha business with the elders would eventually lead to war amongst the elder members. His father’s vison for the elders did not end in Taraz but only as the birthplace, he wanted to expand the elders to have more control and influence over larger areas of Kazakhstan. His vision ultimately led him to his death. Nazir's father was murdered, and members of the elders tried to find ways to cover it up rather than find the truth.

Nazir knew what happened and refused to remain silent. He approached the senior most members, trying to find the answers behind his father’s murder, but he already knew who ordered it. Bejimin was declared the interim leader of the elders until his father’s heirs were old enough to undertake the task. As he pleaded with the members to see the true nature of his father’s death and how Bejimin was behind it.

They laughed at him and his claims, they laughed until Nazir pointed the gun at Bejimin and shot him between the eyes, they were not laughing after that. Gassan was the only one who knew Nazir’s plan, and he knew once it happened, the elders will be divided, those loyal to Nazir’s father and his grand dream and those who followed Bejimin. Gassan knew Nazir had to leave Taraz and escape to somewhere where no one knew who he was, somewhere the elders could not reach him so he can lay low until it was the right time.

Gassan purchased for him a one-way ticket to Los Santos, where he can go and start again. It will be a slow rise but one day, Nazir will bring back his father’s dream to Los Santos, Taraz and the rest of the world.
