As someone who's been to El Paso, I know what type of shithole it is, and I'm working on the perfect character.

Biography: Born in Los Angeles, 1940, John's family was just a working-class one, though not quite a simple one. His father was a military officer working in the Navy, served in Pearl Harbor and barely survived, later reassigned to the Pacific Fleet once again and joined several military operations in Southeast Asia during WW2. He returned with medals, and subsequently expanded the welfare of his family with his career through fames and after retirement, opened up restaurant for business. Although his father and to a lesser extent, his mother, wanted both of their sons in the military they also pretty much fine with them entering law enforcement or justice. Which in case is him. While John's brother joined military in the Army, he went into University of California, Los Angeles.

In the university, he went into School of Law, and graduated from the university on 1962. He later worked in the city's official, and it was here when he was introduced to Jewish-American organized crime's society from his friend and senior in the law school, who already worked as their lawyer. Despite the influence of his upbringing, he get ahold on the life and society in the organized crime. From 1964 until 1970, he worked in the city's official, sometimes reluctantly aiding his friend, before formally resigned and jumped ship to the law side of the crime, acting as their lawyer up through 1978, where an argument started in which he ended up signed off from the Los Angeles's crime and on the advice of his friend within the organized crime, he moved to El Paso.

A criminal group who is rising now is in need of a criminal kind of lawyer, and thus he was employed by them, first by offered his service. For the next years up until 1985, he worked hard and subsequently kind of obtained the trust of them, not fully trusted since he isn't an El Paso's native citizen. Things went for a change when a raid happened, his boss was killed and both his son and the second-in-command were arrested.

And could he, a white lawyer, become a suspect for the crime he probably won't committed alone?

Who knows.

Name: César Antonio Romero Martínez

Ethnicity: Mestizo
Apperance: This, essentially. But with more 80's stuff.
Personal Weapon: Smith and Wesson Model 15.
Biography: César Antonio Romero Martínez was born into a well-to-do family in Puebla on August 18, 1947. He grew up a privileged child, his father a prominent lawyer and his mother a civil servant with the state government. He was the middle child in a family of three boys and four girls, a good, big Catholic family. His father never really cared for him much, his attention was focused on his much smarter and more successful elder brother Luís and his mother spent her attention looking after his sisters, leading him to become self dependent, preferring to be alone than interact with the rest of his family. Although he had potential, he never put much effort into his schooling, although by the time he began his compulsory military service, he had become fluent in English in addition to his native Spanish.

After he finished his military service, he left and moved to Mexico City where he joined the municipal police force in 1973. Bad wages, bad hours and a necessity to demand bribes from people in order to make end's meet meant that by the time he left the force in 1978, he had become disillusioned with law enforcement and figured that they were no better than the criminals they were supposed to be stopping. With no university degree and no job prospects, César found himself doing menial jobs, barely scraping by. In 1980, he stopped three men attempting to mug a businessman in downtown Mexico City, with the man one of the criminals he was forced to accept bribes from as a police officer. The man owed him a debt of gratitude and asked César to come and work for him. For the last five years, César has worked for a number of criminal organisations as a gun for hire, a goon or a courier.

"If you can't beat them, join them", as the saying goes.

Biography:
Hank Carter was born into a broken family as the only child of a stripper as a mother and a failed lawyer alcoholic as a father. The parents and their only son lived in a deprived trailer park where vandalism and burglary were common activities. At just 7 years of age, Hank appeared on the police's radar after in a meth-fuelled rage, his father burned down their house with him inside. He was immediately sent to an orphanage and was after two years as an average student, he was fostered by Catholic parents just outside El Paso in a comfortable suburban setting. However, when he graduated from high school, his connections from his childhood school and social circle found him and brought him into his first encounter with drugs. It started with a cigarette, but before long, it was weed, and then cocaine. He left home and went into El Paso's deep criminal underworld, thriving off the grid. After years committing to a role as a small-time drug dealer working for the higher positions, he knew every lockup, every drug-users' meeting point and every connection there was from his role at the bottom of the system. It was like any other business. Hell, as a lifetime El Paso resident who had never left the state, he knew every backstreet, alley and club in the city.

Now with the boss and all successors to power in custody, there was an opportunity for this Texas small-time drug dealer to rise up in the world and start making some moves in the dangerous underbelly of the American south.

As it turned out, the man was a known associate of Mexican crime boss Venustiano "El Oso" Chávez. The man employed César initially as a bodyguard and later as a personal "assistant" (basically someone who went out and shot dead various people that displeased his boss/the cartel), before he began to be used as protection for couriers who were crossing the border, where his fluency in English became useful. In 1983, César moved to El Paso, Texas as a point man for the distribution of cocaine within the United States through a warehouse frequented by trucking companies.
