Michael de Santa [💔]

Michael's story

Michael's score in the Prologue. Sometime in 2004, Michael met corrupt IBF agent Dave Norton and made a clandestine deal to cut ties with Trevor and Brad in exchange for the ability to disappear and start a new life. By paying Dave a five-figure monthly amount, he would move Michael and his family to Los Santos and give them new identities to start over. Accepting the deal with the FIB, Michael informed Dave of his upcoming robbery in Ludendorff and devised a plan in which Norton would wait for the trio near his escape location with a sniper rifle. During the escape, their driver was killed by the pursuing police, forcing Michael to take the wheel and lead the crew to the ambush point he and Norton had agreed upon, where he claimed that a helicopter was waiting for their arrival. . The plan nearly failed after his vehicle was struck by a train at a railroad crossing while they were trying to avoid a roadblock of North Yankton State Patrol vehicles. Living the Vinewood Dream Michael's life in Los Santos slowly became a living nightmare. Michael's neglect and narcissism, along with his infidelity, caused Amanda to also flirt with him and spend much of her savings on plastic surgery, while Tracey and Jimmy showed him very little respect, as she occasionally scolded them for their clothing choices. less than ideal lifestyle. Suffering from a midlife crisis and a deteriorating marriage, Isiah Friedlander, an expensive psychologist who cared very little about Michael's problems.

Michael's appearance

Michael is a Caucasian man, 45 or 48 years old, with grayish-black hair and light green eyes. "Michael is of stocky build and stands 6' 2" tall and weighs 210 pounds. The medical examiners in Dead Man Walking describe Michael as overweight, with fat deposits in his abdomen that suggest a "fondness" for bleeding hamburgers, leading them to suspect that his "death" is the result of coronary insufficiency. . Michael's physique is thicker and more corpulent than Trevor and Franklin, with stocky, veiny arms and legs. Although Michael is not obese or out of shape, many people around him occasionally make fun of his rather large stomach, such as Jimmy and Trevor or even Michael himself on many occasions. Michael's movement is also much slower than that of Franklin and Trevor, as he is much older, in addition to the fact that his ten-year retirement from crime means that he is not as physically active as the other two. During Pack Man, Trevor tells Lamar that when he met Michael, he was "a little fat, but strong on the inside." Michael's initial wardrobe establishes him with a gray two-piece suit without a tie and casual outfits such as board shorts with sandals or polo shirts. Michael's beta appearance can be seen in trailers one and two, where he is seen with green eyes and an older appearance.

Michael's personality

Michael is confused, even confused, by their personalities "good and bad". Michael is obsessed with appearance and materialistic images, which is the main reason why he dreamed of living his "Vinewood Dream" with his family. He tells Franklin that he has lived a repeated pattern of "chasing things, getting them, hating them." ―Trevor and Michael in Paleto Score Setup Michael has a lot of self-hatred, because he wants to live a false lifestyle, instead of coming to the conclusion that his worrying mistakes have brought great misfortune for him, his family and old friends and associates. An example is when he caught Amanda having an affair with her tennis coach, Kyle Chavis. Sarcasm is something that Michael grasps strongly due to his self-loathing, as he does not know how to respond appropriately to his family or friends sometimes without him. He only shows concern for the problems he is going through rather than the situations he constantly puts his family or friends through. Another moment is in the same mision, where Trevor berates him for letting Tracey humiliate herself on public television the way she did and labeling it as bad parenting. The same goes for Lester and Franklin too. During Predator, Trevor criticizes Michael for instantly thinking of himself, claiming that it is "typical" of him. During The Paleto Score, Michael argues with Trevor about the latter's kidnapping of Patricia Madrazo. Michael complains that Trevor isn't making his situation any easier, and Trevor again criticizes Michael for thinking only of himself. At the beginning of The Bureau Raid, when Lester explains the plan to Michael, Michael describes him as "a bit of an idiot." Lester explains that he did everything he could and that Michael chose this method. He then claims that Trevor "is right" about Michael "whining too much", to which Michael responds by pointing the finger at Lester. At the beginning of setting up the entrance to the roof for the same mission, Lester continually berates Michael for his constant bickering over the former, managing to remain calm and composed as they prepare to conduct a dangerous raid on one of the most secure buildings. of the world. Michael becomes upset because he refuses to give back Lester's cane unless he takes back everything he said earlier. When Michael tries to make the same bickering move with Franklin, the latter responds with irritation, causing Michael to apologize for not realizing how self-absorbed he has been. Another of Michael's negative traits is his hypocrisy. With Amanda, he claims that she "wastes" her money even though he realizes that Michael's day trading is hurting the family finances during "The Good Husband" on the way home. During The Paleto Score, Michael complains to Trevor that he misses his family. Trevor angrily responds that Michael never paid attention to them and only misses them now that they've left him. Regardless of whether it is himself, his family, or his friends, Michael shows difficulty when he tries to convey the truth. For example, whenever Trevor brings up a topic involving Brad, Michael immediately, but vaguely, changes the subject. Once Trevor realizes that Brad is dead, Michael continues to lie about his grave being empty instead of it actually containing Brad's body. Even after Brad's body is exhumed, Michael will inadvertently lie about his death instead of telling the truth about the staged robbery nine years ago, causing Trevor to become irritated and angry. At the end of the mission Inspecting the Sheet Music, Franklin questions Michael's past relationship with Trevor to the point where Michael has to constantly ask him to stop in hopes of covering his tracks and not letting Franklin find out about his deal with the FIB nine years ago and possibly letting Trevor know about it in the process. With Devin Weston, he wanted no part of Weston's plans to hijack several high-end vehicles, that is, until Weston promised to set up a meeting with Michael's idol, Solomon Richards. He is a very considerate person, as he paid Franklin to do what he was forced to do and walk past his boss's business, even though the latter broke into Michael's mansion. However, Michael's family problems slowly began to dissolve after his reunion. It should also be noted that it is very clear that Michael cares about his friends more than he lets on. If Franklin decides to kill Trevor in the end, Michael will stop dating Franklin for a while because he is devastated by Trevor's death. If the player chooses to kill Michael, his extremely aggressive behavior towards Franklin shows that he loved him as a friend and cannot believe that Franklin didn't feel the same way. Being the opposite of Trevor, Michael is thorough and rational about crime. An example is that if he chooses to pose as guards for the Union Depository heist, Michael will give the guard he blackmailed a gold bar to help them get through security. Michael will also always put the safety of his family above everything else, even going so far as to make a moral commitment to the IBF to ensure that his family is not in danger. When Trevor first returns and finds Michael at his house, Michael immediately gets in Jimmy's face, not knowing what Trevor was going to do. When Devin Weston sent Merryweather to Michael's house to kill his family, Michael instantly left the premiere ofhis film to confront hostile forces, rescue his family and then move them to a new location. Michael's care for his family is finally reciprocated by Amanda towards the end of the game, at which point she makes him promise not to kill him. By the end of the game, Michael has begun to accept his borderline sociopathic personality, stating in the final scene of the Deathwish ending that he still hates himself, but "at least he knows the words." Michael also began to work on his anger issues when his family returns and can be seen expressing a great deal of regret for the decisions he has made, becoming more sincere and open.
