Donald Shankar
Age: 34
Appearance:
Nationality: Indo-Guyanese
Aliases: George Washington (No relation), Teddy Daivari.
Heist Name: Carbomb
Weapons of Choice: Skorpion (From his time in the cartels), FN 57, Machete (Ditto).
Distinctive Features: His machete, which he carries on his back under whatever equipment he's hauling, and his tiger mask, used to protect his identity and also a nod to his Indian heritage.
Team Responsibility: Things that go boom - Carbomb is in charge of creating, purchasing, handling, and detonating explosives should they be necessary for a heist, and if they're needed, Carbomb is also in charge of other heavy equipment.
Personality: Donald considers himself a ladies man first and foremost, though his actual pulling talent is suspect, as he is single and unable to get himself a date for the life of him. This may be a sign of deep-seated narcissism, which also shows itself through his arrogance. This arrogance also leads to him being a hypocrite, as he hates when friends lie to him, despite lying often.
Donald is deeply in love with the idea of a Tolkienesque band of brothers, a love that developed back during his time with the cartels, but never quite fully developed until he joined the heist crew. Due to this, he's very loyal to his friends and rarely fails to follow up when he's asked to do something.
Donald is old fashioned in many of his beliefs and has quite a few prejudices. He believes in the idea of honoring one's family, inspired by his Indian heritage, and that family has shifted from his birth family to whatever group he is a member of at the moment, currently the heist crew. Donald is brutal and quick to anger when people offend him or members of his "family"
History: Born in Guyana to an Indian family, Donald was always poor as a child. He never went to school, instead becoming involved with drug trafficking and the Hispanic drug cartels. Becoming a full member of the cartels, Donald moved to Mexico to pursue better money-making opportunities. For a number of years, he served as a soldier and hitman, often involved in carbombings. Carbombs became Donald's specialty as the years went on, and he focused less and less on drug running.
Eventually his lifestyle caught up to him, and using a jury-rigged flying mule, used by the cartels to transport drugs, he fled north, avoiding the more heavily patrolled border areas and eventually landing in central Texas after a time over the Gulf of Mexico. He considers himself lucky to be alive.
There was little to do for a former cartel member in the United States that wouldn't lead to you getting caught, so using what connections he had left, he attached himself to the black market, joining a few stickup crews before meeting up with Sharp, who he propositioned, mentioning his skill at creating explosives.
Skills: Most obvious of Donald's abilities is his bomb-crafting abilities, which he is quite proud of. He's also got a talent in smuggling and avoiding attention. Due to his fluency in Guyanese Creole, he's also good at distraction, as even though Guyanese is still English, it's strange enough to be almost indecipherable, meaning that people will spend time attempting to decipher what the hell he just said instead of just ignoring him.
