John Redmond was born in 1983 into the rich Redmond family in Los Santos as the first child.

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.

John’s reaction to the adoption was controlled and outwardly indifferent. He did not resist Mátyás’s arrival, but he did not welcome it either. He observed his new brother carefully, assessing him rather than bonding with him. To John, Mátyás represented a shift in family dynamics and attention, and he adjusted accordingly with quiet calculation rather than emotion.
