Dr. Samuel Redmond is an American labor economist, academic, and organized crime figure based in Los Santos. He served for many years as a university professor specializing in labor economics and labor law and later attained emeritus status. In parallel, Samuel Redmond operated as a senior strategist and board member within the M.A.N. Agency. Following the Agency’s dissolution in 2016, Samuel Redmond was widely regarded as its unofficial successor and the principal authority among remaining loyalists.

Samuel Redmond is the chief executive officer of Redmond Group, a corporate entity that functions as the informal successor to the M.A.N. Agency’s remaining labor and industrial networks. He also runs the new syndicate in the east of Los Santos.

Samuel Redmond is married to Beth Redmond. He is the father of John Redmond and Lily Redmond, the uncle-in-law of Jamie Evans, and the adoptive father of Mátyás Redmond-Vizsla. Through his daughter Lilly, he is the father-in-law of Jack Donovan and the grandfather of Victor Donovan.

Life before GTA RP Events (1964 - 2016)

Samuel Redmond was born in 1964 in Los Santos in a rich family with strong socialist values. Samuel Redmond’s paternal family traced its origins to minor Irish nobility. This heritage formed part of the family’s identity and informed their views on labor, class, and historical inequality.

Samuel Redmond’s father was employed as a factory worker in Los Santos. Through his father, Samuel Redmond was exposed at an early age to industrial labor conditions, including unsafe environments, long working hours, and limited worker protections. These experiences played a significant role in shaping Samuel Redmond’s interest in justice, equality, and improved working conditions.

Acedemic career (1982 - 1992)

Samuel Redmond began his academic trajectory in the early 1980s. After completing undergraduate studies, he entered postgraduate education in labor economics and labor law during the mid-1980s.

In 1982, Samuel Redmond met Beth Evans. At the time, Samuel Redmond was 18 years old, and Beth Evans was 21 years old. Their relationship began prior to Samuel Redmond’s formal academic career.

In 1983, Beth Evans gave birth to John Redmond. Following the birth, Samuel Redmond’s father required the couple to marry, formalizing the relationship. The marriage secured financial and social stability for the young family. In 1985, Beth Redmond gave birth to their second child, Lily Redmond. During the early years of his marriage, Samuel Redmond relied heavily on financial support from his parents. The Redmond family’s industrial wealth allowed him to continue university studies despite having two children at a young age. Tuition, housing, and living expenses were subsidized by his father’s business interests.

Between 1987 and 1992, Samuel Redmond taught labor economics and labor law as a graduate instructor and later as a lecturer while completing doctoral studies. During this period, his academic work focused on unions, employment contracts, regulatory compliance, and mechanisms through which labor could be mobilized or restrained at scale.

In 1994, Samuel Redmond was appointed assistant professor in labor economics and labor law. He advanced through academic ranks over the following years, establishing a reputation in labor relations and regulatory strategy. By the early 2000s, Samuel Redmond attained senior professorial status.

While operating within academic environments, Samuel Redmond became professionally acquainted with Alexander Morrison, a colleague in economics. Although both shared academic credentials, their positions differed sharply on market regulation, labor authority, and the role of capital. These differences defined their professional interactions. The differences would later be one of the reasons of their rivalry.

Introduction in the M.A.N. Agency (1992 - 2000)

In 1992, representatives of the M.A.N. Agency approached Samuel Redmond. At the time, Samuel Redmond was both an emerging academic in labor economics and actively working within his father’s company, Redmond Group. In addition to his university responsibilities, he held managerial and strategic oversight roles in the family’s industrial operations in La Mesa and Cypress Flats.

The M.A.N. Agency viewed Redmond Group’s industrial footprint as a gateway to supply chains, workforce leverage, and logistical infrastructure. Samuel Redmond, in turn, recognized the opportunity to extend his influence beyond conventional industry into broader institutional power structures. By the mid-1990s, Samuel Redmond was operating as an asset of the M.A.N. Agency, focusing on labor manipulation, union control, and regulatory leverage.

Within the Agency, Samuel Redmond oversaw operations involving workforce coercion, union infiltration, strike suppression, and labor-based control of industrial sectors. His methods emphasized long-term structural dominance rather than rapid capital accumulation. Samuel Redmond’s position later placed him in direct operational overlap with Alexander Morrison following Morrison’s recruitment in 1995. The Agency deliberately structured this overlap to prevent consolidation of economic power under a single individual.

Around 2000, following the death of his father, Samuel Redmond formally inherited and assumed executive control of Redmond Group. Under his leadership, the company consolidated its industrial holdings in La Mesa and Cypress Flats while maintaining its formal corporate legitimacy.

Vladivostok Operation (1998)

In 1998, Samuel Redmond led an M.A.N. Agency economic operation in Vladivostok, Russia. The mission was conducted in coordination with the Agency’s regional contact and took place during the post-Soviet privatization period.

Samuel Redmond oversaw labor negotiations and workforce arrangements connected to newly privatized industries in Vladivostok. During the operation, Morrison remained in Russia against Samuel Redmond’s explicit directive to return to the United States, creating internal disciplinary friction. Following the operation, Samuel Redmond was elevated to the governing board of the M.A.N. Agency as a corrective measure intended to balance Morrison’s growing influence.

Family Developments (2000 - 2006)

Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, John Redmond chose to enlist in the military rather than pursue university education. His decision was motivated by a stated desire to combat terrorism. Samuel Redmond opposed the decision and expressed strong disapproval, having intended for John to continue the family’s academic and industrial legacy. Despite this, Samuel Redmond ultimately respected his son’s choice.

John Redmond entered military training in late 2001 and completed basic training before specializing in chemical defense and hazardous materials operations. By 2003, he had qualified for assignment within a Chemical Unit responsible for detection, containment, and response to chemical threats.

During an operational deployment in the mid-2000s, John Redmond was exposed to hazardous chemical agents in the line of duty. The incident resulted in long-term medical consequences, including infertility. The injury permanently altered John Redmond’s personal trajectory.

In 2002, Lily Redmond gave birth to Victor Donovan. Following the birth, Samuel Redmond required Jack Donovan, the father of Victor to marry Lily Redmond, mirroring the circumstances of his own marriage decades earlier. The marriage formalized the relationship and reinforced family expectations regarding legitimacy and continuity.

Jamie Evans (2006)

In early 2006, Beth Redmond’s sister, Monica Evans, gave birth to a daughter, Jamie Evans. Monica Evans was engaged in prostitution at the time of the child’s birth. Shortly after delivery, Monica Evans died due to medical complications.

With no other known relatives willing or able to assume guardianship and the child’s father not listed on the birth certificate, Beth Redmond insisted on taking responsibility for Jamie. Samuel Redmond, then in his early forties, opposed the decision and stated that he did not intend to raise another child at that stage of his life. The disagreement resulted in a prolonged domestic conflict. Beth Redmond informed Samuel Redmond that she would file for divorce if Jamie was not taken into the household. Samuel Redmond ultimately conceded and took Jamie into the Redmond household.

Several months after Jamie’s arrival, Samuel Redmond discovered a private letter written by Monica Evans prior to her death. The letter identified Jamie’s biological father as Dave Morrison, the brother of Alexander Morrison. This information had not been recorded on official documents.

Samuel Redmond chose to withhold this information from both Beth Redmond and Jamie. The revelation intensified his existing rivalry with Alexander Morrison and introduced a personal dimension to the conflict. Samuel Redmond maintained that he held no paternal obligation toward Jamie beyond legal guardianship. His treatment of Jamie was markedly worse and more distant than that afforded to his biological children.
