lalo was the result of an unwanted pregnancy between people too young to be parents. his care was left primarily to his maternal grandparents. he never got to see either of his parents very often growing up, though that was really all he wanted. still, being raised by such a senior member of the pack looked good for lalo, especially since the grandfather he was named for had no sons of his own. there were perks and pitfalls to this privilege, however, because there was a lot of pressure on lalo from a very young age.
lalo grew up knowing that he’d be a member of the mayans as soon as he was old enough and he went around trying to prove he was both man and wolf enough from before he even had a full set of adult teeth. he also showed a viciousness from a young age that worried his grandfather, but would prove useful to the pack at large as lalo grew older and stronger. he has since become the sergeant at arms for the club.
he has a distrust for magic users and magic in general. while he finds it to be somewhat intriguing, he’s been bitten in the ass too many times by magic and witches to see it as anything useful for his life except for to sell and trade.
lalo holds loyalty and respect only for those in his pack, though even some of them stand on questionable ground. he kills without hesitation, and usually quite brutally. he will do anything as a means to an end.

born in london, england to a wolf and a human, rafferty is the oldest of three children and would later take on a paternal role with his youngest sibling. he grew up nurturing both the wolf and the human side of himself. when he was sixteen, raff dropped out of school to help the family out financially -- a year later, his younger sister was born and his mother died.
rafferty’s father was reckless on his best days and got into some trouble with some hunters which caused him to leave town. rafferty took on the burden of taking care of his younger brother (boris, two years younger than raff) and younger sister (lovette, 17 years younger than raff). because of this added burden, rafferty had to find a better way to make money. he was nineteen when he began bounty hunting, mostly other supernatural creatures but also humans who had found themselves on the wrong lists. the best thing about rafferty in this position was that he asked no questions. his father had made sure that both he and boris were good hunters from a young age.
this sort of lifestyle had rafferty and his younger sister moving all over the country once boris left them. raff hated that he was putting lovette through the trauma of moving around and not digging in roots, but it somehow fulfilled a primal urge in him -- like he was meant to roam. eventually, the pair wound up back in london where they reunited with their brother and father, both of whom had been making very poor decisions. their father’s past caught up with him and cost him his life which ignited a fight between rafferty and boris that left them estranged from one another.
after the death of their father, rafferty took his sister to ireland for a while then they traveled across europe settling for a while in germany until lovette reached adulthood. it was then that she expressed she wanted to try to have a normal life and enrolled herself in university, this was supported fully by rafferty who only left the country when he had an opportunity he could not pass up. the opportunity took him to new york where he stayed for two years working pretty steadily in the bounty hunting business.
eventually, rafferty heard of the haven for supernatural creatures in los santos. it didn’t take long for him to decide that was the place he needed to go. he’s been there for three years, keeping his head down and working hard as a bartender at the ugly duckling where the income is more than enough to provide his studio apartment in tsavo. he still hunts, but it’s never anywhere near the city.
