The Bear ' Big Bear ' Craigson Era

Bio
Bear grew up in Compton, California, around Accacia "Blocc" of Compton. California, mainly Compton and L.A, held large amounts of gang activity in both cities. Bear led a Crip "set" in Acacia named "Accacia Blocc Crips", who were known for their trade of drugs and illegal weaponry. Bear eventually led a large group of black males, who eventually were broken apart after Bear was busted in one of the largest drug trades of the city.


Change of Power
This drug trade was later on called the "Change of Power". The trade was between the "Hiroshi Yakuzi", one of the largest, wide-spread mafia within the Compton area, who spent most of their time outside or by the city limits, away from gang activity, and the Accacia Blocc Crips. A young african-american male named Jackson Dreek had been undercover and hanging out with the A-Blocc Crips. Jackson had been there for the drug trade, and busted the whole Hiroshi Yakuzi and some of the Acacia Blocc Crips. Bear was one of the Crips that was busted, and was charged for one-twentieth of the total amount of cocaine, 20.5 pounds, and arrested.




The Return
Bear had spent approximately 3 years in jail, and got bail. When Bear came back to A-Block, he found that the area had been "turned off", or killed off by the Rosewood Crookz, in the time that he had been in jail. Bear soon found out that one of his best homies had joined up and helped lead the operation to shut off the A-Block Bandits, and decided it was best to leave the town. Bear arrived in Los Santos and headed to the Idlewood Gas Station and met a guy named Pat' there, he informed Bear that the last Crip set died down. Upon Bear's arrival, he saw a male with a red bandana, and decided it was time to take action, and raise up a new Crip set. After much thought and ponder, Bear decided on the name for the new set.


The Downfall
In early 2011 the Wild Hogs Motorcycle Club located in Angel Pine waged war with the Grove Street Crips, killing off key members such as Patrick Craigson, and Devin Black. After a heated onslaught they soon rose to power again, Kendrick Craigson, Bear Craigson's little brother had taken over the set along with two childhood friends to regain power within the district after Bear entered a coma and was flown to a hospital in Texas where he eventually recovered. Throughout the attempt they were sucessful until the Fillipelli Crime Family had clipped Kendrick Craigson of what seemed to be a hit set by a notorious gang leader in East Los Santos.

Old Times
Bear eventually flew back to Los Santos, coming back to Grove to see that it was deserted. Bear sunk into depression until he was approached by an old member, Curtis. This was a morale boost for Bear, and the two talked for a while, then a few more people came to Grove, going by various names. They all quickly became acquainted and soon departed. After their departing, Kobe - alias King, Bear's half-brother, saw graffiti that Bear recently placed under the Grove bridge, and sped down to the Grove Circle where he saw Bear sitting on a rooftop, smoking a blunt. The two quickly caught up on old times, and decided they needed to bring the set back No other name was decided, and they stuck with the old name, Spook Town Ganton Crips.

The Malcolm 'MC' Craigson Era
After leaving his mother's house, Malcolm moved back to Grove to live in the same neighborhood as his father, Bear. After a few days of rather strange silence from his father, Bear told Malcolm that he was to lead the new generation of the Grove Street Crips.
