Background Information
Frank is one of two half brothers (I share the same long haul trucker father as Harry). He was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1984 - a Gen X baby born into a world when Ecstasy was in full flow in the dance/rave scene (how my parents met). His father, Jimmy Conway, made a huge amount of money working for a legitimate haulage company. He would always state that he was a successful businessman without much more information known other than that he was away a lot, but it was only later in life that Frank would learn that the real money that he made was from the shipment of drugs around Europe. Primarily, narcotics.

Along with his mother, Frank tried to make a point of keeping him out of a life of crime with what little money remained that he had flushed into his mother’s legitimate dry-cleaning business. His parents send him to Fettes private school where he was always picked on and bullied for not coming from a known rich family or for being the son of a politician. Despite these rough few years in boarding school, Frank kept his head down and made grades to study business at St Andrews University. Frank wanted to start a legitimate business just like his father, or so he thought. Just after he graduated, his father was arrested and jailed for life as part of a major Europol investigation that brought down the biggest names in the world of Narcotics. They had kept this from Frank successfully growing up, so this was the first instance of him knowing of his father’s true history.

Unable to start a successful business with the now tarnished family name that made headlines, Frank used some of the loans that came through to send himself to film school in London. Frank felt he had a great family story to tell. However, he was put off by once again being surrounded by the rich and the wealthy sending their kids to film school and little interest was given to his story. Frank ended up getting quite involved in the cocaine and party scene and his mother had to bail him out of jail for a petty offense. At this point, his mother revealed that he was just like his brother. Frank never knew he had a brother. Upon finding out about his half brother Carl in Belgium deeply involved in narcotics (a real father’s son). he dropped out of film school and used any remaining funds to contribute to the legitimate transport company Carl had discreetly kept running with a face of legitimacy, but continuing to discreetly dabble in crime for some money on the side.

The timing for this was ideal as the narcotics world made it big once again in the mid 2010’s being linked with the thriving EDM culture and scene. Using their joint business knowledge, they chose to use some of this wealth to expand into further criminality. Nothing was too hot – luxury goods like cars, antique furniture, art. Using their legitimate connections at the ports, this led to an attraction to the bright lights of San Andreas with an aim of starting off with a small, discreet North America branch of their transport company ‘Conway Trans’.
