Born in Salford in 1965, Maccer | ==Character history== | ||
===Early life=== | |||
Born in Salford in 1965, Maccer broke into the music scene in an unknown year. He invented a musical style that became known as "EXTREMELY BAGGY", and became notorious for his hard partying lifestyle, usage of drugs and self abuse, and for breaking musical taboos. This lifestyle would leave Maccer with a stuttering voice and hypersexuality in the form of compulsive masturbation. Forming a band called the Gurning Chimps under the management of a man named Pabsy, the Chimps embarked on a world tour. At some point during the tour, Pabsy vanished and the band ended up under the management of [[Kent Paul]], who took them to America. | |||
===[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]=== | |||
Kent Paul hooked the Chimps up with a local drug dealer named [[The Truth]], who took the band into the [[Bone County]] desert on a "peyote safari". The trip went bad, with Truth waking up separated from the band in a [[Los Santos]] bathhouse. Truth asked [[Carl Johnson]] to go find them out on [[Arco del Oeste]], but by the time CJ found them, the other members of the Chimps had vanished, leaving Paul and Maccer behind. CJ took Kent Paul and Maccer looking for the rest of the Chimps, but after a close encounter with some angry snake farmers and no sign of the other Chimps, Paul decided to hope they made it back to civilization, saying that "keyboardists and bassists are a dime a dozen anyway". | |||
Paul asked CJ to drive them to [[Las Venturas]], where his old friend [[Ken Rosenberg|Rosie]] was involved in running Caligula's Casino. Caligula's was owned by 3 feuding Mafia families, with Rosenberg set as a neutral party. Paul and Maccer were taken hostage by [[Salvatore Leone]] to ensure Rosenberg's cooperation. When Salvatore asked CJ to perform a hit on Saint Mark's Bistro in Liberty City, CJ tricked Salvatore into letting Rosenberg, Paul and Maccer go with him as backup. Instead of actually taking them, he had them leave for Los Santos. | |||
On arriving in Los Santos, Kent Paul and Maccer stayed in [[Madd Dogg's Crib]] as CJ's guest for the remainder of GTA: San Andreas. | |||
===After 1992=== | |||
