In the tapestry of life, Angel's existence has been woven with threads of love, family, and unwavering determination. His adoptive mother, Darlene, has been an anchor of support, welcoming him into her family with open arms and treating him as her firstborn. Growing up alongside his adopted siblings, Jack, Bobby, and Jeremiah, Angel has found solace and companionship in their familial bond. At the age of 14, destiny brought Angel into the orbit of Skyler, a kindred spirit who sparked a deep and enduring friendship. As time unfolded, their connection blossomed into an undeniable love. Despite the obstacles that lay before them, Angel remained resolute in his desire to build a future with Skyler.

Angel's passion for mechanics ignited through the guidance of John, the gruff yet kind-hearted neighbor, became a mentor to Angel. His weathered hands, calloused from years of toil, guided Angel's own into the intricate world of mechanics. John, a retired mechanic with a heart still pulsating with the love of his craft, instilled in Angel the virtues of hard work, dedication, and respect for the trade. Under John's guidance, Angel blossomed into a skilled mechanic, his hands finding solace in the intricate workings of engines.

However, Angel's world was shaken when Skyler confided in him about the relentless pressure from her family to seek a wealthy suitor. Undeterred, Angel stood by her side, offering his unwavering support and unwavering love. Their relationship faced a trial when Skyler vanished for a week, leaving Angel in a state of anguish and uncertainty. Driven by a fierce determination to uncover the truth, Angel embarked on a quest to confront Skyler's brothers. As he prepares to navigate the complexities of her disappearance, he clings to the unwavering hope of a future filled with love and happiness. At the age of 19, Angel's world crumbled when Skyler, the love of his life, vanished without a trace. The deafening silence that ensued left him with an unbearable void, a constant reminder of the love he had lost. Driven by a desperate need for answers, Angel embarked on a relentless search for any clue that could lead him to Skyler's whereabouts. His search led him to Skyler's home, a scene of utter chaos that spoke volumes about the turmoil surrounding her disappearance. Amidst the wreckage, he discovered a single note scrawled on a piece of paper, the only remnant of Skyler's presence: 'I'm sorry, Mercy. Love your Skybaby. With a burning determination to uncover the truth, Angel confronted Skyler's brothers, seeking answers that could explain her sudden absence. To his dismay, Alexander Marston delivered the devastating news that Skyler was gone, leaving Angel shattered and consumed by grief.

In the aftermath of this profound loss, Angel found solace in service. Inspired by a close friend, he enlisted in the military, seeking a structured environment and a way to channel his grief into something productive. The discipline and training provided him with a renewed sense of purpose, a way to honor Skyler's memory while working towards a brighter future. Throughout his military career, Angel carried Skyler's memory with him, a constant reminder of the love they had shared and the hope that she was still alive. Her disappearance had left an unfillable void in his heart, but he refused to let it consume him. Instead, he chose to live a life filled with purpose, knowing that Skyler would have wanted him to find happiness and fulfillment.

Angel, a young man with a troubled past, arrived in Liberty City at the age of 25, fueled by a singular purpose: to find Skyler. He had hired a private investigator, the trail leading him to the bustling streets of East Hook, Broker. There, Angel landed a mechanic job, his hands quickly becoming adept at the intricacies of engines and chassis. His work, however, soon took a sinister turn. The city's underbelly, a tangled web of crime families, recognized Angel's skills. He was approached by a representative of one of these families, tasked with modifying cars to outrun the police and facilitate illicit operations. His mechanical expertise was exploited, his workshop becoming a hub for illegal modifications. The line between honest work and criminal activity blurred. Angel found himself installing timer and detonator bombs in vehicles belonging to rival families, his hands stained by the darkness of the city. He became entangled in a dangerous game, his loyalty shifting with each new opportunity. A glimmer of hope appeared in the form of a group of Jamaicans, who occasionally offered Angel freelance work, a chance to escape the clutches of the crime families. But even this temporary respite was overshadowed by the looming presence of the Serbians, a ruthless group known for their brutality. They sought Angel's skills, his military training, for a task that sent shivers down his spine: to assassinate a 'rat.' The price offered was tempting, a sum that could change his life. Yet, the fear of a life sentence, the weight of taking another life without probable cause, was too heavy to bear. Angel realized that his life in Liberty City was spiraling out of control. He had become a pawn in a dangerous game, his morals compromised, his future uncertain. The memory of Skyler, the driving force behind his journey, flickered like a distant beacon. The desire to find her, to escape the clutches of this city, overwhelmed him. Packing his meager belongings, Angel left Liberty City behind. The city's darkness, the whispers of crime and violence, haunted his dreams. But he carried with him a newfound resolve, a determination to find Skyler and build a life free from the shadows of the city that had nearly swallowed him whole.

At the age of 27, Angel had resided in Vice City for several months, relentlessly pursuing information about his elusive target, Skyler. Working diligently as a mechanic at Sunshine Autos, financial constraints loomed over him, threatening to derail his investigation. Fate took an unexpected turn when a Cuban gang approached Angel at his workplace, seeking his assistance in occasional pickups. Having established a reputation as a skilled mechanic, Angel had become a go-to guy for the gang's automotive needs. One fateful night, as Angel frequented a local nightclub, he crossed paths with a Haitian gang member. Their conversation delved into the past, and Angel's quest to locate Skyler came to light. The Haitian member tantalizingly offered assistance, but at a steep price: Angel would be required to assassinate the leader of Lòs Cabrones, their rival. Recognizing the extortionate nature of the request, Angel declined the offer and sought alternative solutions. However, fate had other plans in store. The following day, members of Lòs Cabrones confronted Angel, sensing his unusual distance from them. Inquiring about his concerns, Angel revealed the Haitian gang's proposition. The Cabrones leaders assured Angel that they would handle the situation, and a bloody conflict erupted between the two factions. The war raged for several months, leaving its mark on Vice City. In the aftermath, a member of Lòs Cabrones approached Angel at his workplace, delivering an envelope containing a substantial sum of money. 'Gracias, amigo mío,' were the only words uttered. Shortly thereafter, Angel received a call informing him that Skyler had been sighted in Los Santos. With renewed determination, he packed his belongings and embarked on a new chapter in his relentless search.

At the age of 29, Angel embarked on a road trip that would forever alter the course of his life. As he approached the borders of San Andreas, an unusual sight met his eyes. Government officials had cordoned off the road, preventing entry into the state. Angel cautiously approached an F.I.B. agent, inquiring about the reason for the blockade. To his astonishment, the agent revealed that San Andreas had fallen victim to a massive cyber-attack. The situation was dire, and the authorities had no estimate of when the borders would reopen. Dejected, Angel was forced to turn back. He left his with a phone number and email address, promising a notification once the situation had been resolved. A year passed by, and Angel, now 30 years old, had resigned himself to life in his rented room. However, fate had a different plan in store. On this particular day, a call came through, shattering the monotony of his existence. The Government had lifted the ban on entry to San Andreas, and Angel was invited to fill out paperwork explaining his reasons for wanting to visit the state. With newfound hope, Angel rushed to the Government office, eagerly answering all questions. He explained his desire to experience the beauty and opportunities that San Andreas had to offer. After a thorough vetting process, Angel was informed that he would be contacted if his application was approved. Two anxious weeks later, the phone rang. Angel's heart skipped a beat as he was instructed to return to the office to pick up his passport. As he walked through the doors, he was greeted with the words that had eluded him for so long: Welcome to San Andreas. Angel's journey to San Andreas had been a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with uncertainty, hope, and finally, the fulfillment of a long-held dream. As he crossed the border and entered the vibrant state, he knew that his life would never be the same. The sun beat down on Angel's face as he navigated the sprawling streets of Los Santos. Ten years. Ten years since he last saw Skyler, the woman who had stolen his heart in a whirlwind romance. Now, finally in San Andreas, he was determined to find her. He started by asking around. 'Skyler Marston,' he'd inquire, hoping for a glimmer of recognition. But the faces he met, either blank or filled with suspicion, only fueled his growing anxiety. He tried a different approach, simply asking for 'Skyler.' The results were the same: silence, shrugs, or a hurried retreat. Desperate, Angel decided to try the local hospital. Maybe, just maybe, they'd have some records, a lead, anything. He found himself face-to-face with a doctor, Jimmie Dimmick, who politely inquired about his needs. Angel explained his situation, his voice laced with a desperate hope. Dimmick, after a brief but meaningful look, excused himself and made a phone call from across the room. Angel, lost in his thoughts, didn't notice the figure approaching him. A woman, her hair slightly longer, her eyes holding the same spark he remembered, stood before him. It was Skyler. As soon as she saw the worn leather jacket he was wearing, the one she had gifted him years ago, her eyes widened in recognition. Their reunion was a whirlwind of emotions, years of longing and unspoken words dissolving in a single, tearful embrace. Skyler, after all this time, still held a place in her heart for the man who had left her behind. She took him on a tour of the city, a whirlwind of sights and sounds, but it was their stop at the observatory that truly resonated. The city lights twinkled below, mirroring the spark that reignited between them. They stayed there, lost in their own world, reconnecting as if the years had never passed. Later, Skyler took him to meet her new family – The Lost, a biker gang in Sandy Shores. Angel was met with a barrage of suspicious glances and unspoken judgment. He understood their hesitation, their need to assess him, to make sure he wasn't a threat to the woman they had come to love. He didn't like the life she had chosen, the danger it entailed, but it was her life, and all that mattered was that he had found her. As Angel stood under the setting sun, the warm embrace of the desert air surrounding him, he knew he was finally home. He had found Skyler, and that was all that mattered. The future, with its uncertainties and challenges, lay ahead, but he was ready to face it, as long as he had her by his side.
