Background Information
Liam was born in Liverpool England in the year 1980. He was raised in a council estate in a deprived area and spent most of his being raised by his widowed mother due to his father dying in the Falklands. While growing up he was exposed to a lot of low-level crime and would actively take part in it. This would change when he stole a bike from one of his neighbours and seeing how sad he was without his bike made Liam change his attitude and return the bike swearing to himself that he would never commit a crime again. He would later follow in his father's footsteps and join the RAF and fly helicopters in "Secret Special Operations".

He would later have to leave after his vision started to decline and would have to wear glasses. While travelling in America he would later come to Los Santos and would meet some interesting people that convinced him to stay. While applying for a visa he would meet a girl called Vlora he would be involved romantically until she left him without saying a word. At this point, Liam would join the LSPD and become an officer mostly patrolling the south side as it reminded him of his home. He would make it his personal mission to improve the area and try to root out the gangs working there. One of his biggest busts was raiding GSF at Grove Street cul de sac when things would go wrong and would end up in a firefight which several people on both sides being killed. Liam was caught in the crossfire and was wounded pretty severely and needed immediate medical help. While being taken to the hospital he would be saved by a certain EMT she would save his life and look after him (He can't quite remember her name it was Ruby something but he lost his memory due to a freak accident while LARPing). Afterwards, he would keep coming back to the hospital in hopes to see her and would finally find the courage to ask her out. They eventually would become an item and would move in together and begin to start their life together.

While he was starting his new life he would try to catch the man who was ending someone else's. The Hotdog Killer (He was called this because he would always leave leftover hot dogs with every murder. This would annoy the killer greatly as he wanted to be called "The Ghost" but the news cycle had already begun and the name stuck) During this time Liam and his girlfriend, Ruby would marry in a lovely ceremony in Mirror Park and would move into a very expensive apartment. But the Hotdog killer never sleeps as he would claim his next victim and this time it was personal. LSPD officer Aran Harris the officer that Liam trained and mentored was struck down but the sick hotdog eating psychopath and it was time to finally put this guy behind bars. Liam was hot on the case sleeping in his office overnight in attempts to find him before he catches his next victim. Until one day Liam saw a hotdog stand selling the same wrapper seen at every murder scene he knew this would be the big break and staked out the place hoping he would find his suspect. While on one of his stakeouts a man wearing a ghost costume bought a hotdog and Liam decided to tail him. It was then he saw the suspect strike trying to abduct an old man and Liam jump straight into action tackling The Hotdog Killer and putting an end to one of the biggest menaces in Los Santos history.

It was this time that Liam was promoted to SGT and his career was taking off but his marriage was not his wife left him and hired an attorney to divorce him. Liam actually came out pretty well since his wife actually made more money than him and left him all the possessions and left LS never to be seen again. Liam started to believe that he couldn't "fix" the South Side and decided it would be better to keep incidents isolated within that area rather than trying to change it for the better. Liam would continue to impress his superiors before there was a massive corruption scandal in the LSPD, BCSO and SAHP which ended up with massive charges being filed against many members of each department and all members of LEO command. Liam managed to keep his job due to all the good work and what he has accomplished within the department. When the governor created the SASP as the new LEO force in San Andreas Liam was promoted to LT to help steer the department in the right direction
