General Description []
Aiko Young is a mechanic, deep in the illegal street racing scene, and a criminal with Peruvian roots, currently unaffiliated following her leaving The Manor.
Hanging around The Manor[]
On January 3rd, 2025, while restocking at Grove St. Autos, Bella Lux was held-up at the stairs leading to the storefront, and Aiko, coming out of the store, was also held-up. After being brought across the city, Aiko and Bella were instructed to get out, where it was revealed that Stephen O'Connor had lured them there. The waterfront held a core memory in Aiko and STE's mind for it was here that Aiko received the news that STE had been brought in to The Mandem, gaining his chain a few years prior. STE spoke to Aiko of what she had contributed to the group as an associate, and promoted her to a hangaround, jumping her in and giving her the green light to wear blue.
Becoming a full member[]
Demonstrating her loyalty, Aiko's contributions and prowess were not unacknowledged, but noticed by leadership. Aiko was notified of a Manor meeting in the Vineyard that was called by Sparky Kane. Along with many of Manor's members around, Sparky addressed the reason they were all called there laying all the cards on the table, Sparky brought The Manor into the fold in relation to The Brokers, an information and arms dealer. Members began to look visibly confused, with the question being asked why Aiko and Daniel "DeeK" Khol were present at the meeting. Acknowledging this, Sparky revealed another hidden agenda, and promoted Aiko and DeeK, bringing them into The Manor as full members.
Bringing Michael Verse into the fold[]
In early 2025, while majority of The Manor were in the UK, Aiko came to acquaint herself with a gang member named Michael Verse, who she enjoyed hanging with. As Aiko and Manor eventually returned to Los Santos, Michael came with a clear intention of finding a family that he'd vibe with, and for him, Manor were the most like himself. Recognising his potential, Aiko spoke to leadership about vouching for him, to which they agreed and gave her the green light. Meeting Michael on Grove, Aiko offered him an in to becoming Manor as a vouched associate of hers, and he quickly accepted.
