Ernest Whittingham

General Description
Ernest Whittingham is the leader of the gang Sightline.

Early life
Born in an always busy household, Ernest was seen as the diamond in his family, always having a passion for sports and other recreational outdoor activities made him the center of attention. But one unfortunate night, all those prospects of becoming heavily involved in sports, or even living a relatively peaceful and respectful life. Came to a violent and unlawful end. After a large confrontation with a bitter enemy who taunted and mocked him on the daily, Ernest was the victor, at the cost of ending up in prison with a record for grievous bodily harm. Once he stepped foot out of prison, he would learn that his family were long gone, not wanting any affiliation with him they moved far away and ended up adopting a new son, replacing him, leaving Ernest behind. AND on the streets.

Fending for himself for a year, Ernest's fate would be sealed when criminality seemed like the only way forward. Meeting some shady individuals in a bar after a long walk, he would eventually find himself acquainted with the criminal lifestyle, honing his skills as a getaway driver for them. But time nor good fortune waits for no man, the gang he found himself working for would sour to him, with lower ranking members infuriated by his rise in the ranks so early. In an attempted move of disposing of Ernest, the gang underestimated Ernest's crafty nature. The tables would turn, and Ernest would walk away, cash in hand, passport ready and a ticket to Los Santos.

Personality
Generally a joker and quite the comedian, Ernest is open, friendly and generally happy to meet new faces as well as old. Quipping off dirty jokes and dark humor is his go to move at parties or in general chit chats, not being afraid to touch nerves with a little bit of cheeky banter with friends or friends of friends. But when it comes down to conducting business or running his gang, Ernest can be cold shouldered, straight forward, brutally honest about what has to be done or horrifically vicious, "solving" issues, in one way, or another. His darkest sides come out when hearing about injustices in the streets. Whether it be happy go lucky robbers. Or forces of the law he has spotted, acting corrupt.

Likes and dislikes
Ernest adores almost anything to do with vehicles, from getting his hands dirty by tuning up his or client's cars, all the way up to competing in high octane illegal street racing and bank job getaways. Whiskey is another one of Ernest's personal past times, commonly lapping up the stuff in almost any bar or party he can find, he'll almost always be caught with a shot in his hand. Or if the time calls for it, a tumbler full.

Ernest despises any kind of corruptness, whether it be a back talking friend or an incredibly dirty officer of the law, it's his biggest pet peeve known. (which would also be the reason behind his creation of the gang he runs) Alongside his hatred for loudmouths and ego filled troublemakers.

Recent activity
After going silent for a long time, Ernest went back to live life in the fast lane, getting settled in after a long flight and change of scenery, he bides his time working for Los Santos customs, earning a respectable wage and hanging out with the rest of his gang, all in the hopes of going legitimate, by starting a host of motorsport events, with a car dealership to go.
