Michael De Santa, born Michael Townley in [[1965]], was born into a tough life, telling [[Isiah Friedlander]] that crime was his only opportunity in life after his early promise as a high school footballer ended, the reason for which is unknown. He performed his first robbery in [[1988]] and took [[Money|$]]10,000 from a small franchise in [[Carcer City]]. He continued in this vain throughout the 1990s eventually teaming up with the likes of [[Trevor Philips]] and [[Bradley Snider]] along the [[United States of America|American]]-[[Canada|Canadian]] border. | Michael De Santa, born Michael Townley in [[1965]], was born into a tough life, telling [[Isiah Friedlander]] that crime was his only opportunity in life after his early promise as a high school footballer ended, the reason for which is unknown.

In 2004 Michael, Trevor and Bradley team up to perform a bank robbery in [[Ludendorff]], [[North Yankton]]. Michael, however, decides to turn states evidence after finding out that the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#HD Universe|FIB]] discovered their plans. The robbery goes ahead as planned, however, during the getaway their vehicle is hit by a train. While on foot, Bradley and Michael are shot by FIB Agent [[Dave Norton]], who later claims the credit for stopping the robbery. Bradley dies but Michael is saved, entering into an off the books witness protection program, while Trevor flees the area and evades the police. Norton plans a funeral for Michael, attended by his wife Amanda. | |||

The family continues to live under the protection of Agent Norton, paying him a five figure sum each month in return for his help.
