TRISTAN 包覃 Tristan Bao-Tam (包覃) is a 19-year-old Chinatown (Textile City) resident, youth offender and career criminal. He was born on the 7th of November 2002 in Strawberry. His mother was a second-generation Chinese-Vietnamese seamstress and his father was a Hong-Kongese illegal-immigrant involved in Chinese-American organized crime, specifically trafficking. Tristan's father was deported in 2004 to serve a life-sentence in Hong Kong, this left Tristan and his mother vulnerable and impoverished. Tristan was a very shy and innocent child, throughout early elementary school he didn't have many friends and was even bullied for a few years. Tristan's mother entered a relationship with a Macedonian drug-dealer in 2010, they had a daughter together a year later. His mom's new partner would turn out to be scum, going on to beat on both Tristan and his mother for years. Tristan began puberty whilst being physically and sexually abused on a regular basis, this significantly damaged his psychology and he developed a warped perspective on humanity. Tristan grew calloused throughout his early middle school years, he would express his trauma through inflicting pain on others. Tristan began to train at a martial art gym in Chinatown from a young age, finding a passion for boxing and taekwondo. Tristan began to become a fan of conflict, enjoying it slightly too much. He would instigate problems with school peers and even strangers, regularly coming home with black-eyes and fight related injuries. Tristan's behavior caused him to be excluded from numerous schools and at the age of 16, he was put into juvenile detention. On his release, Tristan began to sell marijuana through the influence of his peers in juvenile detention. His mother began to smell the cannabis on Tristan and in his bedroom and eventually found a large quantity of marijuana underneath his bed. Over fears of losing her son, she decided to move with Tristan to Delaware. Tristan's time in Delaware was genuinely spent in reflection of his delinquency. Tristan had been running wild on the streets, doing petty crimes and mixing with scummy people. It was during this time in Delaware that Tristan's perspective on life began to mature. Tristan managed to find an apprenticeship at a local mechanic shop a few months into moving to Delaware, here he found a love for mechanical engineering and cars - overall. The position was more so meant to teach the apprentice the fundamentals of mechanics rather than pay the apprentice a workable salary, this meant that despite a full-time job Tristan and his now elderly mother remained in financial struggle. In 2021, Tristan saved up enough money to take his mother on a vacation to Vietnam where they would see family. They arranged for a family friend to look after their apartment. Whilst on their vacation, the family friend who was to look after the house began to argue with a neighbor. The family friend threw numerous parties and was extremely loud and belligerent, when Tristan and his mother returned an eviction notice was found on the door. Not long after their return, two of the landlords sons had came to the apartment in an attempt to kick down the door and forcibly remove who they believed to just be an elderly woman. Tristan was home at the time, thinking that it was a home invasion he defended his home with a knife. He slashed one of the two brothers across the face, causing the other brother to flee. His mother had already called the police, they arrived briefly and both the landlord's son and Tristan was arrested. The duo made an agreement and no charges where filed due to the nature of the incident. Not long after being released, the duo made a return for Los Santos. On returning to Los Santos, Tristan asked a long-term friend who he had been dating to be his girlfriend. The duo started going out, through the hardships they had both been dealt they formed a very close loyalty and made plans to escape poverty together. Tristan's mother was 63 when they returned to Los Santos, the incident in Delaware and witnessing her son stab a man instigated heart problems. In 2022 she passed away after having a heart attack. Tristan was left alone, it was around this time he was offered work boosting and stripping vehicles for the owner of a pawnshop in LS. He began to focus on the hustle however was arrested in late 2021, charged with grand theft auto and evading a peace officer. Tristan's set to be released in 2022.
