Benjamin Jr. Buschetta used to be a wannabe-gangster, originating from the city of sins, Las Vegas. Obsessed with mafia tails and stories, Benjamin only had the mindset of becoming a notorious mobster while in reality, not knowing almost anything about the life style at all. Benjamin's father, Benjamin Sr. Buschetta was whacked for contemplating against the mob in 2003, refusing to give them a slice of his illegal high table executive games that had taken over the entire city by storm. Benjamin was only at the age of 5 when he had lost his father, therefore looking up to Frank Buschetta, his uncle, as a father figure.

During his high school years, Benjamin constantly engaged in fights, to the point where he cut two fingers off of one of his classmates. Causing all this trouble had forced Benjamin to switch between six schools, falling two years behind the kids of his age, sickening his widowed mother and enraging Frank. However, Benjamin had proved to be excellent at mathematics and Frank saw this as a perfect opportunity to straighten Benjamin out, putting him up in his local book keeping to keep him occupied and out of trouble. Frank's legal book keeping front took off with Benjamin doing the books, however he was eager to get himself involved in the illegal side of things with Frank refusing to bring Benjamin in with the fear of history repeating itself.

After Frank got diagnosed with stage three lung cancer, he had Raymond, Benjamin's cousin to collect from his establishments in the state of San Andreas, thus forcing him to relocate to Los Santos. Benjamin saw this as a great chance to apply for ULSA and move to Los Santos for college, while in reality, his primary goal was to get involved with Raymond's dirty business, marking the beginning of the never ending cycle of an uneven mind, pain and suffering.

Benjamin being a quick learner, got to figure out how the "business" works by working with his cousin, Raymond, who at the time was an upcoming associate in a local mob. Benjamin soon comes to the realization that being in this line of work is an entirely different perspective from what a mere spectator sees in TV shows and movies. Despite the obvious risks, he goes deeper down into the this rabbit hole to the point of no return.

Benjamin finds himself caught between the crossfire as Raymond faces conflicts with his fellow associates. Naturally, Benjamin sides with Raymond, however both are eventually lured into a trap where they were to be executed; Benjamin manages to escape, leaving Raymond behind who was never to be seen again. Following this botched hit attempt, Benjamin seeks to defend the honor of his family, he ends up killing multiple valuable associates and inducted mob members who were involved in the hit, and eventually the boss himself.

After the spiral of the crazy events in and out of the organized crime life, with no memories to look back on with any sort of fondness, Benjamin was left mentally and physically scarred. Things that he was forced to do and see, which he didn't even think of doing. In an attempt to escape from the harsh reality and make amends with himself, Benjamin erased all of his trails that he might have left behind and went legit and proceeded a career in finance and social engineering.

 

 

" Cosa Nostra? Our Thing? Mafia? The Mob? Whatever the fuck they call it – It's nothing more than a bunch of bullshit words, everybody is a nobody, except the smart-ass ones rob the dumb pricks in their "business" off of their money and call themselves "The Boss". And in the end? If you're not whacked by the same cocksuckers who you had lunch with every day for 20 years, you're gonna have a lonely death in a psyche ward without any family to keep you company and no legacy to speak of. "

Sylvester Buschetta, a notorious gangster who obtained the highest rank within the Messina Crime Family sometime in the late sixties, an established Liberty City Family, was commissioned to head down to Las Vegas to capitalize on the thriving gambling business. His second child Frank Buschetta was born on the 12th of February 1962, almost a year after settling down in the new city of Las Vegas. Sylvester was barely around during Frank and Benjamin Sr's childhood, he was constantly occupied, expanding his bookkeeping and gambling operations throughout Las Vegas. Frank grew up somewhere around Redsands East, among all the street crooks, and moneymakers. Frank, not knowing anything but the environment he found himself in already from a young age, was somewhat forced to befriend the local cronies. The same goons that showed him the uttermost respect when most found out he was one of the sons of Sylvester Buschetta. Criminality was normalized at a noticeably young age for Frank and his brother Benjamin Sr. Back then the mob was visible in every Italian neighborhood, and people feared them. Frank, and his brother Benjamin Sr quickly adapted to the lifestyle and after their father was sentenced to serve ten years in a federal prison institution on multiple frauds and tax evasion charges, they took up his mantle and carried out his business, but in a more brutal way. It was not long before "The Buschettas" were formed as a crew in Las Vegas, led by Frank and his older brother Benjamin Sr. Sometime around the late seventies, a racial war broke out in Redsands East. A couple of Hispanic street gangs merged their groups together and decided to muscle their way inside of the Bandit Stadium. The Bandit Stadium was among one of the few reasons why Redsands East was popular. The Buschettas took advantage of that and started to distribute illegal substances outside of the gates by the main entrance of the stadium, and they were throughout known to be the ones to supply the demands. The Hispanic gangs at that current time wanted a piece of the action, but Benjamin Sr and Frank fought them for years. It all started with a fistfight, and the fight led to somebody getting stabbed. The Hispanics avenged the same night and stabbed three kids from Redsands East. Thus sparking a racial conflict between the two ethnicities by the point where school kids were fighting each other, grocery stores, and other businesses contesting with each other. The local Italian delis would give free food out every Sunday, just to see the Hispanic stores get out of business. It was chaotic, people who did not have the slightest influence on the incident got brought into it, some way or the other. This led to a major defeat for the Hispanic gangs. With the Hispanics out of the picture, Frank and Benjamin Sr started expanding, plotting, and planning. They got into the brokerage industry, the gambling industry. They invested their money into potential rackets left and right. Until they went for the bigger fish, refusing to cooperate with the settled local Las Vegas mob, as a result, Benjamin Sr got whacked while playing poker at the old strip casino, many of the crew members go into hiding or skip town, leaving Frank with no room to retaliate. Frank eventually settles down as a bookkeeper, loansharking for gambling institutions all across the state of San Andreas, taking care of Benjamin Sr's widow and son.
