Al Saab/2.0 and Prior

Al Saab is a character role-played by Ssaab.

Description
Al Saab, generally known as "Saab" is a founding member of the Leanbois and is the founder of Bad Boy Customs.

Early Life & Origins
Al Saab grew up in a harsh environment to rich parents. He soon decided that wasn’t the life he wanted. This led to him moving to Los Santos and becoming a founding member of the Leanbois.

In the past, he was known for being one of the nicest criminals in the city - while unfortunately giving the unwanted impression that he's soft and gullible. He can also be cringe-y, and tends to say random things that don't make any sense, or say things that can make him come off as a dirty-minded pervert.

Saab has tried to be a collected person, but after the events of his last relationship and those at the south-side, he became more hostile. Although Saab isn't the craziest member of the Leanbois, he can still be dangerous if he gets angry at a specific target or subject.

Stroke Masters
Whilst the Leanbois were on a hiatus, Saab met Denzel Williams and together they founded Stroke Masters Repair Garage.

Even though Stroke Masters eventually went defunct, Saab and Denzel still remained close.

Racing
One of the Saab's preferred activities is racing. He is also considered to be one of the "better drivers" of Los Santos. While this can be true, Saab is frequently at the hospital due to car accidents. Whether he is considered a better (or worse) driver than others in his class, like Tony Corleone and Eddie Marshall, depends on the road itself and the driving conditions.

BBC (Bad Boy Customs)
Saab is the founder of Bad Boy Customs.

The business is a car parts manufacturer, which supplies needed materials to repair garages around the city. He enlisted the help of Nino Chavez who invested in BBC via his company Sahara International -and Eddie Marshall, who saw the potential in the company. 

BBC began to make progress, hiring employees and producing consistent pay checks each week. Saab wanted BBC to have more purpose and expanded the business to include a towing and delivery service throughout the city, providing to local businesses and criminals alike.

Sahara
After returning from Mexico, Saab was met with open arms from the friends he had left behind. Additionally, he found himself with offers from various groups such as Chang Gang, HOA, and the Angels after they learned that his former group - the Leanbois - were not going to return to the city. This made him a very sought after free agent.

Weeks after his return, Nino Chavez called him to meet. Him, Nino, Curtis Swoleroid, and Jay “JJ” Jarvis met on December 6th, 2020 and this resulted in Nino bringing in Saab to Sahara International.

However, with the city becoming bankrupt after the government went all-in on GameStop stocks, Sahara International went under - rendering the business defunct.

Trivia & Notes

 * Saab often says his first name in a way that would sound like "El" instead of "Al".
 * Despite being known to all, there's only a handful of people who call Al Saab by his first name. Them being Choi Zhangsun, Conan Clarkson, Ramee El-Rahman, Andrew Ducksworth, Breezy, Jack Ripley and Chips Ahoy. During the beginning of their relationship, Saab would ask Brenda, "What's my first name?". Brenda pretends she doesn't know it, and calls him "Saab Saab" (although she said Al a few times.) However, Brenda started to say Al more often after she started working at the police station.
 * Saab was featured in a track (Titty Grabber) with infamous rapper Maximilian "Yung Dab" Thoroughbred.
 * Along with Brenda, Saab is also known to be a walking punching bag at times. For example, Lang Buddha, Vinny Pistone, and Melbert Rickenbacker made fun of Saab at a fight club by bringing up his murderous past involving a woman, even though he didn't do it. The biggest difference between the two is that Saab usually tries to get revenge by violence, while Brenda usually tries to ignore it.
 * Saab usually likes to take his victims to the lighthouse or the mountains as a way to interrogate or to threaten someone. It is also a chance that he might kill someone at these locations (if he loses his temper.) This is called the "Saab Special."
 * Saab stated he has a curse where every girl that he dated has been dead or missing. Brenda is the 8th and last girl and there were points in time where she hasn't been in the city for a while. This could be a reason why the majority of the people think that Saab is a serial woman killer.
 * Saab mentioned that his citizen ID accidentally say female on it.
 * Saab likes to refer himself as the "driver of the year" of 2019. However, Tony was the one that won that title and Saab didn't make it on the list.
 * At one point, Saab tried and wanted to make a racetrack called, "The Brenda Special," but it was never officially completed. The track layout was suppose to around the area of the hospital and Benny's.
 * There could be a chance that Saab has been kidnapped the most out of the entire Leanbois. The well known kidnappers for Saab would be:
 * Otto Delmar, when Saab took the blame for killing Jackie (Otto's girlfriend) even though Buddha killed her. As a result, Saab was shot multiple times.
 * Tim Lee, when the Leanbois shot him for pulling his gun out during a hostage situation. As a result, Tim shot Brenda multiple times in front of Saab (in handcuffs) and after screaming her name, Saab was shot multiple times.
 * Chang Gang, after Chang decided to tax people for robbing the jewelry store and the vault. As a result, the Chang Gang kidnapped Saab as well as stabbing him multiple times, peeing on him, and blowing him up on a gas tank.
 * The Angels, when Saab killed Cassie's brother (although she didn't really care about him.) As a result, they kidnapped him and force him to give them weapons in order to spare his life.
 * In the Chang Gang, Saab's counterpart would most likely be Vinny due to the fact that they are always in meetings, giving out money to their families, and occasionally flirt with other people (unless if Saab is in a relationship.) Saab's secondary counterpart can occasionally be Ramee due to having brain-dead moments in certain situations.
 * Saab was known as a snitch when he first came to Los Santos. Buddha almost wanted to kill Saab for snitching on him, but Tony and Avon convinced Buddha not to.
 * People think that Saab has over 5 different laughs.
 * Saab owns a custom 6STR ZR380, which along with Tony's Gauntlet, were the first vehicles to be bought from the old Tuner Shop. During the LB vs. CG war, Chang Gang removed all of its upgrades to give themselves an edge, costing Saab 40K+, which made him very upset.
 * Sometimes, people would confuse Joe Caine with Saab.
 * During the summer time of 2019, Saab was dressed up as an officer stripper and he named himself Officer Braabson. When he was dating Brenda, she encouraged him to save the outfit and she would have random dreams about it (sometimes.)
