 '''King Courtney''' is the leader of the Jamaican [[Uptown Yardies]] gang who appears in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]].
-In GTA III, he assigns [[Claude]] jobs from [[Staunton Island]], operating from a payphone located near [[Liberty Campus]]. The primary focus of his jobs are mostly related to attacks against rival gangs, with one of these mission requiring that Claude turn his back against the [[Diablos]] by [[Uzi Rider|killing]] several of its members. The final "job" involved Claude [[Kingdom Come|being lured into a trap]], where [[Catalina]] has dispatched vans of "[[SPANK]]-ed up madmen" suicide bombers to kill Claude, an act that subsequently fermented relationships between Claude and the Yardies. He is never seen in person in Grand Theft Auto III, but does make an appearance during Grand Theft Auto Advance.
+== Character history ==
+=== Life until 2000 ===
+King Courtney was born in Jamaica, but moved to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] sometime before 2000. There he joined the [[Uptown Yardies]] and began to rise through their ranks, eventually becoming the gang's leader and leading it to war with the [[Colombian Cartel}}. He operated out of his yacht docked in [[Newport]] and was prominently involved in several illegal activities, icluding street racing, loan sharking and drug dealing.
+=== 2000 ===
+In 2000 Courtney sends his men to [[The Bar]] in the [[Red Light District]] of [[Portland]] to collect money he loaned to the bar's owner, [[Jonnie]]. Jonnie is found murdered and the Yardies drive back to Courtney's Yacht to report. [[Mike]] who has followed the men, hold King at gunpoint believing him to be responsible. After everything is explained, Mike agrees to work for King in return for finding out who was behind [[Vinnie|Vinnie's]] [[Getaway|death]]. He employs Mike as a driver in a [[Race to Run|big race]] with the [[Yakuza]]. He then has him steal [[Latin Coffee|coffee cans]] belonging to the Colombian Cartel.
+Later, Courtney tries to convince him that the Cartel's leader [[Cisco]] was responsible for the murder. Though reluctant, Mike agrees to [[The Big Score|assassinate]] Cisco and assaults the Cartel at their meeting place. Killing several lieutants, but missing his target, Mike goes back to Courtney, who has by now managed to track down Cisco. Mike attacks the Colombians at a restaurant in [[Belleville Park]] but is convinced of Courtney's treachery and begins working for them.
+About a week later, a new war sparks after the Yakuza discover that the Yardies have been [[Sue Me Sushi|supplying their]] restaurants with bad fish, resulting in several lawsuits. In spite of this, Courtney quickly ends his war with the Cartel after learning of [[Truth Revealed|Cisco's death]] and tries to stay away from them so as to not relight the conflict.
+After learning of [[Truth Revealed|the airport shootout]], Courtney believed that Mike came into possession of all of Vinnie's money and started a city-wide manhunt for him. Mike finds out about this after questioning the Cartel's new leader and [[Smackdown|eliminates]] all the hitmen. He then attacks the Yardies' warehouse with the Yakuza. During the shootout, Mike was able to severly injure Courtney, but due to the arrival of the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|LCPD]] didn't have time to kill him and had to escape.
-In Grand Theft Auto Advance, he appears as [[Mike|Mike's]] fourth boss. Involved in a turf war with the [[Colombian Cartel]], Courtney is also involved in illegal racing around Staunton Island. He and his gang would serve as another primary antagonist alongside the main antagonist [[Vinnie]] near the end of the storyline.
+=== 2001 ===
+Courtney apparently managed to evade jail and continues to lead the Yardies in 2001. He began working with [[Miguel]] and [[Catalina]], using his Yardies to distribute [[SPANK]]. He also employs [[Claude]], contacting him through payphones and has him prove himself in a [[Blig-bling Scramble|checkpoint race]]. Later, he orders Claude to [[Uzi Rider|kill]] some [[Diablos]] members after they insulted [[Queen Lizzy|his girlfriend]] and [[Gangcar Round-up|collect]] gang cars from the Diablos, [[Leone Family|Leones]] and the Yakuza.
-King Courtney was voiced by [[Walter Mudu]] in Grand Theft Auto III.
+Courtney eventually learns that Claude has been sabotaging his gang on behalf of the Yakuza and together with Catalina, orchestrates an [[Kingdom Come|assassination]] plan. Courtney leads him to a parking lot in [[Bedford Point]] where he is attacked by [[SPANK|SPANKed up]] suicide bombers. Claude however manages to survive the ambush and ends his relationships with the Yardies.
