Connor McGinty was born to Evelyn and Shamus McGinty in Galway, Ireland in 1990. His Father Shamus, was a big player in the IRA, but when Connor was born, his parents wanted a better life for the family and moved to Liberty City in 1994 to try and live out the American dream and get away from the violence in Ireland. Connor grew up most of his childhood not knowing the violence his father had to do in their home country, it wasn’t until Connor was in high school that he stumbled across a box of his fathers old belongings. He would go through them looking at pictures and notes from his fathers time in the IRA. He would approach his father about that time in his life, but his father would always just play it off. When Connor graduated from high school in 2008 he would enlist into the United States Air Force as a TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) where he would learn many of the skills he has today.

During Connor’s time in the military he went on six different deployments, one to Iraq, four to Afghanistan, and one to Syria. During his deployments is where he really shined, earning countless decorations and medals for valor and heroism, but those deployments came with a toll to his mental health. He had begun to get more angry and less in control of his emotions. This would eventually be his downfall as he lost many friends and family because of it. When he finally separated from the Air Force in 2018 with an honorable discharge, his father was in horrible health, so he flew back to Liberty City to help take care of him and his mother. While on his deathbed his father would finally reveal to him the life he lived before Connor was born, they would laugh and joke about the things he did for love and for the country. Before his father took his last breath he joked with Connor about how he tried everything he could to give him a good life and prevent him from causing violence but he ended by saying “Like Father Like Son.”

Connor now lives in Los Santos, where he thought he could start a new life. He had a good run at the new city, new life bullshit, but history finds a way of repeating itself and it wasn't long before Connor was back to a life of Violence and Crime. (More to Come)
