Damian Alexander Neil Morrison, most commonly known as Damian Morrison, was born on January 18, 2000, at the Eclipse Medical Tower in Los Santos. Sharing the world with him on that very same day was his twin sister, Alexa Morrison. As a child of a wealthy half-American, half-Russian family, Damian experienced a unique blend of cultures.

Damian grew up in a life of luxury at North Sheldon Ave in Vinewood, just like his twin sister. However, unlike Alexa, who had many friends and a confident social presence, Damian didn’t have a lot of friends. In his early life, Damian was more into gaming, and this came at the expense of his social development. He had little interest in the hobbies his father tried to instill in him—flying, firearms, and tactical training. Instead, he preferred spending time playing ''Righteous Slaughter'' and ''Assassin’s Revenge'' on his EXorbeo 720.

Unlike Alexa, Damian got along very well with his mother, Victorya Solovyova. They spent countless hours together discussing history, especially Russian history, which became a common bond between them. Victorya saw Damian as introspective, curious, and emotionally deep, and she nurtured these traits with patience and affection.

Just like Alexa, Damian received the best education Los Santos could offer. At 16 years old, Damian enrolled at the University of San Andreas to pursue a degree in history. However, three months later, his world would turn upside down as his father, Alexander Morrison, was murdered. The loss shook the entire family. Alexa became cold, calculating, and ruthless in the aftermath, seemingly channeling her grief into ambition. Damian, however, experienced severe depression and anxiety during his university years. The emotional toll of his father's murder made it difficult for him to cope, and he was eventually prescribed antidepressants to continue his studies. As a result of his condition, Damian developed a stutter, which further impacted his ability to socialize. Despite these hardships, he pushed through the fog of depression and anxiety, and at 19 years old, he completed his history degree. But the emotional scars remained.

At 18 years old, when the inheritance of Alexander Morrison was divided according to his will, Damian was dealt another blow. The majority of the inheritance was given to Alexa. This revelation fractured the already fragile relationship between the twins. The divide deepened further shortly afterward, when Alexa began receiving personal mentorship in business and logistics from their father’s former associate, Grigory Venkov. Feeling abandoned and eclipsed once again, Damian decided to leave Los Santos on the advice of his Uncle Dave. He moved to San Fierro and found quiet stability working as a library technician. For two years, Damian lived a relatively peaceful life, surrounded by books and solitude, avoiding the chaos of Los Santos and the shadow of his sister's growing influence. At 21 years old, tragedy struck again. His mother, Victorya, who had long been ill, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Damian returned to Los Santos to attend her funeral—a solitary experience, as Alexa did not attend. During the ceremony, Damian reconnected with Uncle Dave, who encouraged him to remain in Los Santos and work with him at his salvage yard.

Seeing no reason to return to San Fierro, Damian accepted the offer. He resigned from his job as a library technician and began a new chapter working alongside his uncle. It marked the beginning of a quiet transformation, one rooted not in legacy or ambition, but in healing, independence, and the slow rebuilding of identity. For the next year, Damian worked diligently at the salvage yard. He learned how to dismantle vehicles, assess parts for resale, and manage basic repair tools. The work was modest, but it gave him a routine and a sense of usefulness. Uncle Dave, who had always seen potential in Damian, became a grounding presence. Their bond grew stronger as the months passed, built not on words, but on shared labor and mutual respect.

With a small sum of savings and a modest loan from Uncle Dave, Damian purchased a weathered property in Paleto Bay: a one-story fixer-upper on a quiet corner just a few blocks from the coastline. It wasn’t much, but it was his. A place of solitude, away from the towering expectations of his surname. Shortly after settling in, Damian found part-time work at the Paleto Bay Historical Society, where he helped curate local archives and guided visitors through exhibits on Blaine County’s past. The position, while humble, fit naturally with his background in history and allowed him to quietly integrate into the community. A new beginning, nestled in the northern edge of San Andreas, where he could finally breathe and begin again.
