Samuel O'Faolain/2.0 and Prior

Samuel O'Faolain was a character role-played by WolfD20.

General Description
Samuel O'Faolain was a Patched Member of the Lost MC. After a disagreement with the Lost, he left the club a few weeks before he passed away.

He was usually seen in a blue hoodie, darker pants and a beanie.

Personality
Sam was known to be the one more reasonable, calm and cool-headed of the Lost while working behind the scenes and staying out of trouble but he has no problem getting his hands dirty when the situation asks for it.

Background
Samuel grew up in Dublin, Ireland, together with his parents and siblings Sean O'Faolain (brother) and Saoirse O'Faolain (sister). Always seen as the troublemaker of the group, he dropped out from High School during his senior year and did small jobs on the streets to earn enough money for drugs and alcohol. A friend of his overdosed on heroin once while Samuel was out one night gambling, which turned into an addiction that he struggles with to this day. When he found out about what happened to his friend, he promised himself that he would never do any hard drugs if it was possible to avoid it. However, he has never been able to stay away from weed or alcohol.

His interest for motorcycles came early for him and he sought out the Lost MC, while living in Ireland, to become a prospect but as the years went, he soon asked to be Nomad and then left for Los Santos, starting a new chapter in his life.

The Lost MC
Samuel joined the Lost MC when Reginald "Reggie" Campbell was President before Rudi Rinsen took over. He worked his way up starting from the bottom as a prospect and showed his dedication and loyalty to the group, working his way up to Secretary, a role he rather enjoyed as he could stay behind the scene and observe everything. He was eventually appointed the role of Vice President.

Nomad
On November 29, 2019, Sam walked down to the church in the Compound up at Sandy Shores. He cut off the tag that says 'Vice President', left it at the table and rode away on his motorcycle. It was assumed he either went nomad or is dead.

He came back after about four months out on the road. Just riding around wherever his bike took him around San Andreas. As he came back, he accepted the rank of a patched member.

Ultimatum
Having decided to put the war with Cop Killa Records behind them, Rudi Rinsen pushed for Eugene Zuckerberg to be brought in as a middleman for the Lost MC. This decision never sat well with Samuel who disagreed and argued that Eugene killed a brother during the war. Having heard Eugene openly bragging about it didn't help matters either. Samuel requested to hold a vote on it, but it was put aside and was never resolved. While the rest of the club eventually came to terms with Eugene being a middleman and moved on, Samuel did not.

On June 14, 2020, nearing the one-year death anniversary of Reggie, the built-up resentment drove Samuel to confront Rudi and the club about it once again. This led to a tense situation where he told them to choose between siding with him or Eugene. An argument ensued after which Samuel was told to leave the club.

In the following days, Rudi and Gary Adams met with Samuel. Though Rudi and Gary empathized with him, they would not have the club members' lives put at risk over his grudge. The three of them went a long way back and Samuel being one of the originals of the Lost, they were willing to let him leave the club without bringing Mr Mayhem to him so long as he did not do anything that would endanger the club. Samuel mentioned that Catherine Scratch had suggested for him to see her therapist and that he was considering it. Rudi and Gary gave him their support, assuring him that he will always be a brother to them whether he was part of the Lost or not.

Death
On June 26, 2020, Samuel was taken hostage for a Fleeca Bank robbery by the Southside Ballas. Though the Ballas were friendly with the Lost MC, they did not recognize Samuel until afterwards as he was not wearing his kutte since he was no longer in the club. Some Steele Security members (Denzel Williams, Pepe Silvia, Jordan Steele and James Apeller) arrived on scene and requested the Ballas release the hostage. When they didn't, Steele Security breached the bank killing Samuel and putting three Ballas in the ICU. This led to tension between Steele Security (with the Leanbois) and Southside Ballas, which broke out into a war. Both Pepe and Denzel shot the hostage during the breach.

Funeral
Due to the events leading up to Samuel leaving the club, the Lost MC did not perform a biker funeral for him. On July 5, 2020, the Lost - without their kuttes on - gathered together up at the East Alamo View lookout, in Raton Canyon. There, they paid their respects and spread Samuel's ashes.

The occasion was also marked by the presence of former Lost member Negan Graham who kept out of sight during the ceremony, and Samuel's brother, Sean O'Faolain. After the funeral and despite Rudi forbidding it, Jason "JP" Paul secretly scattered some of Samuel's ashes in front of the stage at The Range in Stab City. Thus was Sammy laid to rest with the ashes of their other fallen brothers.
