Background Information
Joe Rosner grew up in a Newcastle, Washington. Joe’s mother a lovely woman from Louisiana wished for him to become a priest. His father, Jimmy, a Texas man served in Vietnam and always wanted Joe to serve as well. However, Joe having seen the affect his fathers time in Vietnam had on him was dissuaded from following in his fathers footsteps. Joe and his older brother while close as children have with age drifted apart.

After finishing high school Joe chose to peruse a degree in political science, however, he left college before he could finish his degree. He instead answered the call to arms for the War on Drugs and against Communism by becoming a police officer in Los Santos.

Joe grew up enthralled by motorcycles and spent most of his life riding and tinkering with bikes. Drawn to the thrill, beauty, and freedom of the open road he saw becoming a motorcycle cop as a natural extension of his passion. With Joe’s knowledge of politics and law and his passion for justice and the people he serves he was an easy shoo-in for the LSPD.

His Family
Joe Rosner loved his parents. Which is why when they both passes he left university and moved to Los Santos. His father was never the same after the war, he had PTSD and suffered severely from night terrors. His only comfort was his liquor. One night he killed his wife and then took his own life.

How his parents died has continued to impact Joe. While Joe loves Tex, once he learned of his night terrors he knew he and Poppy could not live with Tex. He was determined to protect his unofficial little sister, Poppy, where he could not protect his mother.

Similarly, his fear of being alone in the ICU stems from his continued worry for his mother. For if God is not real, then she would be alone.
