 === Return to Civilian Life (2008 - 2016) ===
-Upon his return to Los Santos in 2008, John was received positively within the Redmond family. His military service and commendations were regarded as a source of pride, particularly given his attainment of the rank of Staff Sergeant. During his absence, significant developments had occurred within the family. In 2002, his sister Lily gave birth to a son, [[Victor Donovan]]. By the time John returned from military service, Victor was six years old and had developed a strong interest in his uncle’s military background. Victor reportedly admired John’s war stories, and the two formed an unusually close bond, notable given John’s historically distant interpersonal behavior. During this period, John also developed a stronger attachment to his sister Lily, becoming more consistently present within her immediate family circle.

Victor’s continued admiration and attention positioned John more prominently within Lily’s family circle and increased his influence in family interactions. During this period, John also became more consistently present around Lily, and his involvement with her and Victor placed him at the center of attention within that branch of the family.
 In 2006, the Redmond family also took in [[Jamie Evans]]. John, opposed the decision from Beth and expressed open skepticism regarding her presence in the family. Samuel likewise showed little interest in assuming personal responsibility for her upbringing, and both men reportedly regarded her presence as a potential liability to the family’s long-term interests.

 In early 2016, the M.A.N. Agency was formally dissolved following internal power struggles and the activation of a dissolution clause by senior leadership. The decision fragmented the organization and resulted in the rapid loss of centralized control over its assets and operations. John, who had been operating within the Agency’s structure since 2014, was directly affected by the collapse.
-The period coincided with the murder of his sister, Lily Redmond, in 2016. Her death had a significant personal impact on John and further narrowed his focus to Victor Donovan, with whom he already shared a close bond. Later, John figured out that [[Alexander Morrison]], Samuel's rival was responsible for the death of Lily. He reported this information to his father, so subsequently order the assassination of Alexander.

 After the assassination remaining loyal elements consolidated under Samuel Redmond’s direction. Due to increased instability, external threats from former associates and a large scale federal investigation, the Redmond Group reduced its overt exposure and entered a period of strategic concealment. Public operations continued through legitimate corporate channels, while internal restructuring was conducted discreetly to preserve remaining influence and assets.
 During this period, John’s role within the Redmond Group expanded. As Chief Operating Officer, he assumed greater responsibility for operational security, internal consolidation, and long-term strategic positioning in the aftermath of the Agency’s dissolution.

	Upon arrival, no confirmed insurgent presence, weapons caches, or communications equipment were identified. The village population consisted primarily of civilian farmers and local residents. Despite the absence of verified hostile activity, Redmond, holding his Service Carbine ordered all adult males in the village to be gathered under the stated purpose of identity verification. The men were forced against a school wall, where John and his men shot the villagers one by one. Around 100 men were killed. John would later quote to his superior officer:<blockquote>''"The die is cast, ~~and the insurgents~~ have been dealt with. They won't be a problem, ever again"''</blockquote>Several former members of the unit later described Redmond’s conduct during the operation as controlled and deliberate. Testimonies indicated that he framed the action as a preventative measure intended to eliminate future insurgent threats.

			As Jamie was an infant at the time, John’s stance manifested not through direct confrontation but through emotional detachment and strategic distance. Household accounts indicate that he opposed allocating family resources or long-term planning around her, viewing her inclusion as an unnecessary risk rather than a familial obligation.

			==== Economic study and joining the underworld (2008 - 2014) ====
			Shortly after his discharge, John enrolled in an economics program at a Los Santos university where his father, Samuel Redmond, served as a professor. He completed the degree program over four years, earning his qualification through consistent academic performance. Faculty evaluations described him as analytical, disciplined, and focused on applied economic strategy.

			After completing his degree, John joined the [[Redmond Group]] in a formal capacity. Under Samuel’s supervision, he was gradually introduced to the operational and financial structure of the company. During this period, Samuel informed him that the corporation maintained entanglements within the criminal underworld and that he had longstanding connections with the [[M.A.N. Agency]]. In approximately 2014, John was formally introduced into the M.A.N. Agency and began operating in support of its activities. The Agency utilized his military background and specialized knowledge in chemical and CBRN operations for risk assessment, logistical planning, and operational support. He remained affiliated with the Agency until its eventual dissolution.

	=== Early life (1983 - 2000) ===		=== Early life (1983 - 2000) ===
	John Redmond was born in 1983 ~~into the rich Redmond family~~ in Los Santos as the first child. He was raised in ~~luxury~~ and ~~wealth,~~ supported by the ~~corporation of John's grandparents~~, the ~~Redmond Group~~. ~~In the early years of John's youth~~, ~~he grew up without the attention of his father as he was busy studying~~.		John Redmond was born in 1983 in Los Santos as the first child of Samuel and Beth Redmond. He was raised in a financially secure and structured household supported by the Redmond Group, the family’s corporate enterprise. His upbringing emphasized discipline, performance, and reputation.

	~~As a child~~, John ~~was intelligent, charming, and highly manipulative. He learned early how~~ to ~~mirror emotions to gain approval, particularly from authority figures. He demonstrated limited guilt when confronted and often redirected blame with calm precision~~. He ~~struggled to form genuine emotional attachments and displayed little natural empathy, instead studying emotional responses and replicating them when useful. Among all family members, Samuel~~ was ~~the sole exception to John’s detachment. In his father, John saw the ideal of discipline~~, ~~intelligence~~, and ~~strength~~. He ~~regarded Samuel as the greatest man he had ever known~~ and ~~shaped himself accordingly~~.		During his early childhood, John displayed limited emotional expression compared to his peers. He was described as quiet, observant, and self-contained. He did not frequently seek comfort and reacted to praise or punishment with little visible change in demeanor.

	John was ~~prone to aggression toward~~ other children~~, destroyed~~ property during episodes of anger~~, and showed little remorse afterward~~. ~~Incidents were often reframed to place blame on others~~, ~~and he became skilled at avoiding consequences~~.		==== Birth of Lily Redmond and behavior concerns (1985 - 1991) ====
			When John was two years old, his sister Lily was born. He showed neither jealousy nor affection, responding with detached curiosity. Lily’s arrival did, however, reinforce his desire for his father’s attention, which he pursued with quiet intensity.

			As John grew older, patterns of concerning behavior became more apparent. He was involved in repeated conflicts with other children and demonstrated aggressive conduct in structured environments. There were documented instances of property damage during episodes of anger. When confronted, John frequently minimized his involvement or redirected responsibility.

	~~==== Birth of Lily Redmond (1985 - 1987) ====~~		At the same time, he demonstrated strong social awareness and the ability to present himself appropriately to authority figures. Teachers often described him as articulate and capable, particularly in formal or academic settings. His social relationships were limited and typically situational rather than personal.

	==== Conduct Disorder Diagnosis (1992) ====		==== Conduct Disorder Diagnosis (1992) ====
	As John grew older and remained detached and had unusual emotions unlike his sister Lily, Beth became increasingly worried about her son’s behavior. Beth had pleaded Samuel to take John to a psychiatrist, but for years he refused out of pride. In 1992, after a violent incident at John's school and at Beth's urging, Samuel finally agreed to have John evaluated by a private psychiatrist. Following several assessments, John was diagnosis with Conduct Disorder (CD), characterized by John's unemotional traits and impaired empathy. The diagnosis was kept a secret between Samuel and Beth. They agreed that neither Lily nor, later, Mátyás would be told.
