is a character role-played by Buddha.
General Description
Lang Buddha is a severe-looking Chinese man with a short temper. He is quick-witted and often uses humor to disarm his interlocutors. He is a founding member of the Leanbois, Cleanbois and Talon. He is the owner of Nest Holdings, which is the parent company of Rooster's Rest.
Buddha exhibits narcissistic behavior and demands respect from everyone he interacts with. He maintains a complex social graph that includes highly illegal criminal organizations as well as high profile business circles. This makes Buddha secretive and paranoid in nature, and as a result, he is a skilled liar and storyteller.
Due to being one of the richest men in Los Santos, and one of the kingpins of the criminal world, Lang has a big target on his back. The extent of his power can be seen everywhere, as he helped get Denzel Williams elected as mayor. This has led to the Police Department, DA and Department of Justice to always keep an eye on Lang. He has made enemies with officers such as Sam Baas, Jack Ripley, Kyle Pred and Randy Wrangler. He is also known to bully cadets, to the point where some officers, like Jackie Snow, think it is a rite of passage to encounter Lang in a traffic stop.
Buddha is also known for his improvisation skills, always keeping his enemies on their toes when it comes to anything and everything.
Lang is known to be one of the most well connected men in the city. He has alliances with the Vagos, Gulag Gang, The Mandem, and various individuals in the city.
Overall, his business acumen and connections in the criminal underworld has transformed Lang from a hotheaded Southside gangster in his younger years to a refined business man who is willing to give opportunities to his friends and random people alike. He has created a business conglomerate known as Cerberus alongside Dean Watson and Leslie Lingberg, where they own half of the city's businesses, such as the National Paintball Association, Rooster's Rest, Premium Deluxe Motorsport, and Burger Shot. Unlike rich men in the real world, Lang and the rest of Cerberus like to help out the little guys around them.

Lang Buddha entered Burger Shot soon followed by Raymond Romanov and then Tony Corleone while Mickey S had stayed outside. Inside were two Correctional Officers waiting in line for their food, working behind the counter for Burger Shot was Hubcap Jones, Shelly Smith, Naomi Kent and other employees. As usual when placing an order at Burger Shot, Lang Buddha stresses that they don't double charge him as he hates having to pay twice on something that should just be counted as one order. An individual wearing a paper bag over his head who was serving Lang Buddha at the time tried to double charge him but Lang was having none of it exclaiming that "You will regret this" over and over to the employee. Moments later Lang Buddha pulls out his Diamondback Pistol and tells everyone working to put their hands up and not move. Lang then demands the employee wearing the paper bag go bring him free food else he'll blast Shelly in front of him. As Lang is about to leave two female employees speak up and one of them calls Lang a "Karen", Tony Corleone let's Lang know what was said and this results in Lang demanding to know who said it. Naomi Kent speaks up and tells Lang "do you need money, are you okay?" at that point Lang shoots Naomi twice in the head and proceeds to quickly leave Burger Shot. Naomi Kent was pronounced dead sometime later after the shooting. Lang Buddha finds out after Tony Corleone had received a phone call from Mel Rickenbacker telling him that Naomi had passed away. Nearly three weeks after the murder, Lang Buddha was apprehended and sentenced to the 9s for the murder after a failing to rob the Pacific Standard Bank. All properties owned by Lang were raided in an attempt to find the murder weapon, the Police Department found nothing of value but an expired practice laptop. |
