Cletus BaDoinkaDoink

Early Life
Cletus was born in Liberty City, Liberty State, being raised by Loui BaDoinkaDoink and Jasmine BaDoinkaDoink. His parents owned a "mom and pop shop" pizzeria in a low-income neighborhood, Loui hired Cletus to work in his pizzeria at the age of nine to serve and wait on customers. Loui had a lesson when it came to parenting Cletus; to be truthful and do honest work. Cletus took his lessons to heart and developed his code of ethics as he later grew up.

When Cletus was 18, the family just couldn't afford to live in Liberty City anymore so they decided to move out to Los Santos, San Andreas; they had family out there that would support them while they would get adjusted to their new environment. After 4 years of living in Los Santos, Cletus never really made any friends, the closest thing to it was his cousins he would talk to at their weekly family dinner. After Cletus was talking about how he thinks he will never make any good money in this town, Cletus's cousin Donny Huxton informed Cletus that he had a business being set up that involved robbing and killing. Cletus was unsure and very anxious at the thought of it at first, but he did need the money, so he took Donny up on his offer.

Criminal Beginnings
Cletus and Donny started robbing people in alleyways outside of a strip club at night for about 2 months until the general public caught on. Cletus got comfortable with this business within 2 weeks and saw it as a serious career, he started talking to Donny about expanding the business; hiring more members and doing more serious forms of robbing. Donny agreed and so they both started the "Jesters Club" and started hiring more of their cousins and some outside sources. They started robbing liquor stores and gas stations. They even started stealing alcohol and sold it to middle and high schoolers. They were making roughly $5,000 a week, which was huge to Cletus.

Maintaining Success
The Jesters Club was doing this routine for about seven years until Cletus got a call from an unknown number. The unknown caller said that he saw what his little club was doing and wanted to capitalize on it. Cletus met this man at his home, he introduced himself as Lester Crest, he is sort of a manager when it comes to pulling off heists. Cletus agreed to work with Lester but in exchange only let the people Cletus truly trust within the club. There were about 34 members when the club turned raunchy. Cletus realized professionalism is the only way to be truly successful so he only worked with around 7 members of the Jesters Club when it came to the big scores. Cletus went on to make thousands of dollars with the help of Lester and made sure that those 7 members got their fair share. Once word got around in the club of how much the big score members were making then the club quickly became mutinous, going so far as to try and vote Cletus out of his club. Meanwhile, Donny was so mad that he fired most of the rebellious members and if some refused to be fired, then Cletus and Donny would bury them alive out in the desert.

Fallout
Donny and Cletus truly loved each other after 19 years of building this business and eventually made around a million dollars bi-annually. However, Donny slowly became greedy and developed a cocaine addiction. In all of these 19 years, Cletus was the only one allowed to talk to Lester; Cletus believed it was the only way to keep a logistical deal. Because of his cocaine addiction, Donny had grown paranoid as to why Cletus would have this rule, so he hired Martin Madrazo to secretly tail Cletus to Lester's home. On the way to a heist setup discussion with Lester, Cletus stopped to get gas and noticed an all-black SUV with a front license plate that read "OUCHIEMAMA" and thought nothing of it. Then, when he arrived at Lester's house, he noticed the same SUV parked around the corner. He quickly figured out that he must be getting tailed. He calmly walked to the car and promptly shot three of the four men in the head, grabbed the remaining mercenary and shot him in his kneecaps, asking why they were following him. The goon caved and told him that Martin was hired to tail Cletus by Donny. Cletus was enraged. He couldn't believe Donny would do this to him, especially on that day; his birthday. When he arrived at the Jesters Club warehouse he immediately threatened to beat the living essence out of Donny. Donny quickly pieced together what Cletus was infuriated about and sincerely apologized. After some deep conversating, Cletus whipped out the birthday hats that he made for himself and Donny and put significant effort into it. "They're wet." was not a reaction Cletus was imagining. As his friend fumbled with the wet party hat, he gave him a deathly look. Cletus tried to relax. He tried to act like he was together, but he was still so angry Donny would backstab him and con him out of his own business; a business they built together for 19 years. Cletus pulled out his AK-47 and lit up the entire room.

Relapse
After the incident with The Jesters Club, Cletus decided it's time for him to consider retirement. He couldn't forgive himself for what he did, and he had enough money to hopefully dive into a different career field that he is truly passionate about. Cletus began knitting, rapping, acting, DJ'ing, Larping, Modeling, Body Building, and more. All of this failed miserably, after 3 years the only thing he was able to do was become an executive manager of the Paleto Bay branch of Cluckin' Bell. His life felt empty, and lonely until he once again tried living the Los Santos night life, he overheard a lost voice saying "Crime? Crime?". Until he attached the voice to a person standing right in front of him repeating the phrase "Crime?". Cletus and this stranger continued to talk to the best of both of their abilities, and the stranger was admitting why they were at this nightclub. Cletus saw pity in this person, he also thought about his long list of failure of the past 3 years and could relate to him. He saw it as an opportunity for the both of them to tap into the true side of themselves that they are really good at. He offered an extremely small time gig that the laughing stock Simeon Yetarian could assist with. The stranger agreed joyfully and they both arranged a meet time the next morning.

Retirement
After a year and a half of participating in continuous criminal activities with the official gang known as "The BaDoinkaDoink Boys", Cletus had a personal revaluation that he needs to retire once again. He thought things would be different with the second time around, but he only saw that through his actions he was only causing more continuous damage he vowed not to do again. He told the crew that once Lester Crest and him are done orchestrating and committing The Pacific Standard Job, that he will retire. Feeling the old feeling of failure from his previous attempt, and sought to try something that will give him purpose.

He was growing distressed from not finding anything, until he got a phone call from Solomon Richards, infamous movie producer, he needed someone to retrieve some stolen props that disappeared from the movie studio. Solomon knew about Cletus for a long time, and understood he was probably the safest option to choose from. Cletus happily agreed, he had a delusional mindset about this job, thinking that if he does a really good job then Solomon would give Cletus some form of a movie gig. Cletus carried this delusion with Clyde, Corn, and Robin. He took them around finding about 6 out of the 12 props, Cletus was getting stir crazy and more irrational for each prop found and after a dead end, he couldn't lie to himself anymore.

He admitted to them that Solomon never offered a real job, and he got personal explaining that once he is retired he is worried his legacy will just be murder and violence. He was describing the world he wanted as settling down with Paige and having 4 kids, but he didn't believe it would ever happen. Clyde and Corn seeing their crime father figure at his lowest, they insisted that he took care of himself after seeing him in his Ice Cream Day outfit. After that point, they force Cletus to chug a glass of green juice for his own health to make Cletus try harder. Strangely, this worked and Cletus tried talking to Paige and he successfully started forming a casual relationship with her, she was around for all of Cletus's criminal life and he knew deep down she was the one for him. Paige needed some growing up to do, and it looked like she finally did so. Cletus started having a purpose and believed that he could retire with ease if he continued to have Paige in his life.

Death
With the return of Joeb Kazamakis, later known as Captain Brenden Darcy. He brought along a potential threat to the BaDoinkaDoink Boys personal lives. Joeb was saying that there is a rat somewhere within the organization that took down his company "Milk" when he fled to China. The four decided once they are done with The Pacific Standard Job, then they will continue on with the rat situation. After flawlessly committing the biggest heist of their lives, Cletus was feeling like a huge weight was taken off of his shoulders, as things with Paige were only getting better.

The four all sat down and wrote a suspects list which included: Beatrice, Robin, Amelia, Kyle, Klif, James Bond, and Testimo Destimo. They crossed off Testimo full well knowing that he is in Vice City living his life as a DJ. They had their list and set out the next day to go hunting for the rat. Cletus called Paige that morning, very excited about settling down and made an arrangement to watch The Fast and the Furious franchise after Cletus was done handling the situation. Cletus was hurrying each interrogation, he was blind sighted, all he saw was a normal life at the end of the tunnel, and he was running as fast as he could towards it.

Believing that Klif was only a temporary badoinkadoink there was no way he could be the rat. Rather than having a one on one meeting with Klif and having the crew surround the area just in case, he saw no possible way Klif was the rat and agreed upon a one on one meeting with him. Killing two birds with one stone, Cletus figured he could go interrogate Klif as the rest of the crew would interrogate Beatrice, seeing that he thought Beatrice couldn't be the rat. He seperated with the group and went to go talk with Klif, when he got there Klif managed to tackle him, tie him up, and throw him in a ready to blow van. Cletus at first was in intense denial, seeing this as a form of trade for money, but once Klif left to go to his mountain spot, Cletus was all by himself with his thoughts. He was so close to living the normal life he dreamed about, and he rushed to it without thinking. He unknowingly was set up via radio transmission to The BaDoinkaDoink Boys as he was listing his regrets and sincere apologies. He was apologizing to those in his more personal life, his Mother, Paige, and his cousin Donny. As he was saying sorry for all of mistakes, he started apologizing to each member of The BaDoinkaDoink Boys.

His last words were "I'm Sorry Clyde" as Klif activated the detonator once they showed up to save him. The van blew up and Cletus died instantly.

Cletus in his final moments lived as the person he swore to be after the roughest events of his life. Cletus Ethan BaDoinkaDoink was killed on December 18th, 2020.
