Jason Tyrell/Jason's Story

Scotland - Home
Born and raised in Glasgow City, Scotland. Jason Tyrell first arrived in Los Santos with nothing but a duffle bag and a dream. He grew up in the Summerfield Flats, a residential complex located in the centre of Glasgow. Growing up he was the typical kid who acted out when he could and did nothing but joke around with his pals. Life in this end of the world was a rough one, growing up he never really had much or anything of luxury. His family were poor, but they got by and that was enough for them. His mother was a baker at a local chain, raking in just enough for them to survive and stay afloat. His dad was a technician at a nearby garage, which was something that flowered Jason’s growing interest within cars and the car industry as a whole.

Throughout primary school, Jason was the type of person to get stuck in and focus on his work rather than slack off or mess around! However, that’d slowly change as he began to grow older and make more friends outside of the local area. These friends were the type of people to act out, to bully and to piss off their teachers in any way that they could. Whether that be through simple pranks or by just not caring about their schooling.

Throughout high school drugs came easily to him. Where he grew up it was something that he saw every single day and he didn't care about it. For a very long time it was just something that sat at the side of things, but once he was old enough to understand what it did and what kind of money people were making from it? Well, he just had to get into it. He smoked his first joint at thirteen, rolled his first joint at thirteen, sold his first bag at thirteen. He never had an income before and having money to spend was something that he wasn't used to, at first it started with the general idea of helping out his family but soon enough it was becoming an obsession. He kept this up for years before eventually culminating in a downward spiral of gangland murder and the inside of police stations. Jason soon enough found himself at the forefront of a gang who wanted to take over their little neck of the woods, doing anything that they could to do this. Whether that be assault, robbery or straight up maiming and murder.

Eventually, after running. Jason's parents stepped in to urge him to flee Scotland for a better life. And so, he went to New York City.

Coming to Los Santos
His time in New York wasn't something that is often talked about, only alluded to in conversations. His time there is something that JT doesn't like to talk about and will often try and skip over any deeper prods into what happened.

Arriving in Los Santos after spending a short time in New York, Jason soon got to work making connections and friends around the city though mainly stayed rather solitary in his day-to-day life. Finding himself falling in with a man called Elio Pucciato, the two swiftly went about undertaking increasingly illegal odds and ends. Drugs were their game and they played it well, dishing out plenty around Los Santos until eventually Elio fell in with a group of British lads from back home.

The Cut as Jason would soon come to know them as, was introduced to JT through recommendation from Elio and soon enough the relationship blossomed. JT proved himself time and time again, until eventually being asked to properly hang around with them and help build something within Los Santos. Jason believed he had found a home and people that he could call a family.
