You were a part of the cartel. You grew up in your home country, moving in with your uncle after your parents died while you were young. Your uncle being incredibly influential on the cartel, wanted you to become a part of it as well the second you turned 18.

One night, there was a party at the Salamanca house, and of course your uncle and you were gonna go. It was a fairly expensive party, with guards and expensive food and drinks. Your uncle immediately began discussing potential business deals, leaving you alone at the party.

You walked around aimlessly, before noticing Eduardo Salamanca, most commonly known as Lalo. You knew he was incredibly powerful in the drug world, being at the top with his uncle, Don Hector.

He was sitting at a bar next to the pool outside the house, a glass full of some alcoholic drink in his hand, when the two of you locked eyes. His demeanor looked overall friendly which was definitely surprising from the things you heard about all Salamanca's being terrifying and ruthless killers. He even had a smile on his face, though if you looked hard enough into his eyes there was a chance of seeing his true intentions which were those of your average Salamanca. It seems he had just mastered putting on a mask to make catching his prey easier.

You were only snapped out of your trance by Lalo's hand which was now gesturing for you to walk over to him. You knew you couldn't say no. Especially not after you had already embarrassed yourself by staring. So you picked up your feet, one at a time, and before you knew it you were sat at the bar next to him.

"Hey there, amigo! I haven't seen you around here before. What brings you here?" His eyes burned holes into yours as he talked. You opened your mouth to respond but were quickly interrupted by him again.

"No, wait. Let me guess. You're Don (uncle's) kid he took in? I've heard about you! Why don't we get you a drink, ay?" He then waved the bartender over and ordered you a drink. Again, you thought it was best to just go along with it. He's definitely gonna get you drunk.
