RoachTheIntelCollector (originally RoachForce141) is a major character to himself in GTA V and GTA Online. Below you'll read a "story" I created.

Assault of the Sawmill Plant
Roach's plan to discover the locations of the Arks scattered around San Andreas was to locate the map of the Arks, a map which is located atop of Mount Chiliad. However, the mountain was being guarded by a Sawmill Plant, which served as the FIB's HQ to spy on Roach's plan. With intel that the FIB was there, Roach and his men assaulted the plant, eventually destroying it and getting the attention of the FIB HQ in Los Santos. However, during his escape, a wounded FIB soldier shot off Roach's left arm with a crossbow, but Roach survived and killed the soldier.

FIB Defection
With the destruction of the Sawmill Plant, the FIB got intel about a defector who had made a deal with them in Roach's base. The defector told where Roach's base was; a secret research farm on the east side of Mount Chiliad in Blaine County near Grapeseed. The FIB raided the research farm, killing all of Roach's men but the defector, who was in the main lab. The FIB breach it, and finds out the defector was none other than Roach himself. He said that the deal was to spare him and that he'll lead the FIB personally to the main Ark's location, which was underneath Los Santos.

The FIB's Betrayal & Death
Following the raid of Roach's lab and Roach's defection to the FIB, Roach leads the FIB to the Pillbox North metro system, where he tells them that the main Ark had been buried under the tracks. After excavating the tracks, they uncover the entrance to the Ark. With the Ark located, the FIB shoot Roach's right leg, causing him to fall against a construction barrier. The FIB had planned to double-cross Roach in order to prevent him from betraying them. The FIB then enter the Ark, but they realized that it was all part of Roach's plan, as they activated the other Arks, causing them to be awaken and to start destroying San Andreas. As Roach laughs in victory, the FIB then shoot Roach in the head, killing him. The FIB escape the metro system just as it collapses, leaving Roach's corpse behind. The day was July 9th, 2014 in the Phillbox North metro system in Los Santos, San Andreas.

After the Ark Incident
The FIB's actions had started a World War within San Andreas with the U.S Government and the Ark's super-soldiers. After the war ended, the U.S Government won, but the destruction of most of Los Santos and Blaine County were among them. Roach was then declared as a traitor, and that his actions caused the deaths of many of the human species. However, it was the FIB's fault that caused the war and Roach's death.

Revival
However, unknown to everyone, the FIB had recovered a device from the Ark called the Omega Shard, a device that could lead to the revival of Roach. They also recovered Roach's corpse and dumped it near "Castaway Island", an island located on the North Chumash/Paleto Cove border. The shard was kept at the Humane Labs and Research facility on the east coastline of Blaine County. The remains of Roach's research group then raid the FIB lab and successfully obtains the Omega Shard. They then travel to a ship which was guarding the island and Roach's corpse. They raid the ship and bring Roach's body back to the surface. They use the Omega Shard to revive him, ultimately causing him to spring back to life. They they head to Cape Catfish, where Roach had a cargo ship named the "Thunderstorm" waiting for them. They leave the island with the shard aboard.

Revenge/Payback
However, Roach and his men never left San Andreas. Instead, they based out on Castaway Island, where Roach had intercepted airwaves about important data and intel being stored in the Fort Zancudo control tower. Before Roach and his men could assault the base, they managed to capture a military operative from his patrol and interrogated him. He told them how to enter the base, but either way they'll be compromised. Roach then executes the soldier and then orders his men to make him a new left arm. Three days later on July 17th, 2014, Roach and his men assault the base head on and eventually Roach and his men reached the control tower. When Roach reaches the top floor, three guards are waiting, but Roach kills them with his Bullpup Rifle. Roach and his men then successfully obtain 9 pieces of highly classified intel and attempt to make their escape, when reinforcements arrived and started to acend the tower. With no other place to go, Roach and his men plant sticky bombs around the tower and jump from the windows towards the outer perimeter of the base's walls with parachutes just as they detonate the bombs, destroying the tower as well as crippling the base.

Search for the Abandoned Mineshaft & Assumed Death
With the intel from Fort Zancudo in their hands, they pinpoint the location of an abandoned mineshaft which served as a base for the military. On July 18th, 2014, a day after the Fort Zancudo raid, the group raids the mine and locates a large weapon cache in the heart of the mine and they start to retrieve the items from the mine as Roach was then stabbed in the back by a military official. Roach, having on last trick up his sleve, pulls the pin on a grenade and then jumps into a hole in the ground with the soldier as they both explode, killing them both. However, Roach's sacrifice gave the group enough time to get all of the equipment and intel out of the mine. However, the mine also caved in as a result of the explosion, causing Roach's corpse to be left behind. The group flees the mine's location and return to base.

Creating SWAT Force One & Locating a Defector
However, Roach had actually survived the mine incident and when off the grid. He then created SWAT Force One, an elite recon group which will assist Roach with his missions. Their first mission was to extract a defector in the military at Los Santos International Airport before the military could eliminate the defector. SWAT Force One then headed to a control building located at the far end of the airport. They landed the chopper on the roof and rappelled onto a staircase on the side of the building. They entered through there and located the defector. He told the group about a military official named Tom McPhillian and told them where he was just before he got shot by a military officer. Roach killed the man and they used a ladder to climb to the roof via trapdoor and they escaped the airport just as the miitary arrived to secure the buildng.

Hunt for McPhillian
With intel from the defector, SWAT Force One locates McPhillian aboard a freighter at Pier 400 at Elysian Island. They assaulted the docks and located McPhillian aboard the SS Bulker cargo ship. They infiltrate the ship and kill McPhillian's men. They confront McPhillian in the hold, but he then pulled out a detonator. He activated it, causing to explode a sticky bomb strapped to the side of the ship. The ship started to sink and McPhillian escaped, causing SWAT Force One to flee the yard. Roach grabs the ship's manifest for one of the cargo containers and they escaped the sinking ship as it sank into the port.

McPhillian's Last Stand
On July 25th, 2014, SWAT Force One had located McPhillian hiding out at the Land Act Dam located in the Tataviam Mountains. They go on a full on assault in order to bring down the double agent working for the military and the enemy. Roach leads his squad on the dam, destroying SAMs and ZPUs on the way in order for air support. Roach and his men into the dam by going in from the back door. They confront McPhillian in the generator room, where he was waiting. McPhillian then started to flee when Roach ordered an airstrike on the dam. It blew up the side of the dam, causing it to collapse. McPhillian then died from the impact of falling debris and we quickly headed out the back door. The dam collapsed, causing the city to flood. However, this was part of McPhillian's plan as he told the enemy once the dam was destroyed it was time to carve a path for an invasion. The enemy forces then invaded San Andreas and started a mini World War III within the state.

Retaking Los Santos County
On August 1st, 2014, most of Los Santos County was in ruins, giving us a small chance to spring into action. SWAT Force One and Project Medusa formed a joint operation and assisted the military (now on their side after they killed the traitorous McPhillian) in attacking the Kortz Center, which provided as a weapons cache for "The Resistance", the name of the enemy. After taking the center, they assaulted the state capital in order to reclaim the city. They fought through heavy resistance, but they still managed to reach the roof and resecured all of Los Santos County. As The Resistance fell back into Blane County, the friendly forces pushed forward into cornering them.

Finding the Morbid Pillar
After taking the Kortz Center, the two groups had recovered intel on The Resistance's leader, John Stewart. The documents said that John was searching for something called the Morbid Harvester Stone, an ancient stone that was infused with the soul of the Morbid Harvester, an ancient being forged by the gods of darkness that could help The Resistance in taking over the world. They also were looking for the Infusion Stone, the key in activating the Morbid Pillar, a pillar which could awaken the Morbid Harvester. They managed to pinpoint the location of the pillar at the Galileo Observatory, where it was on display in front of the observatory. On the side of the pillars were markings which translated to the location of where the two stones were at; Mount Chiliad. However, John and The Resistance attacked the observatory and stole the pillar, taking it to Mount Chilliad.

Awakening the Morbid Harvester
On August 15th, 2014, the group ascends Mount Chiliad in search for the entrance to the caverns which held the pillar and the stones. After entering the caverns, they reached the Infusion Stone's chamber. They find out that the Morbid Harvester was on the other side of the gate behind the Infusion Stone and they find two generators that keep the door closed. They destroy them and proceed into the Morbid Harvester Stone's chamber. They find the pillar behind it and John then attacked the group. He stole the Infusion Stone and placed it atop the pillar, activating it. John however, was unwillingly zapped by the beam of the Infusion Stone while he was holding the Morbid Harvester Stone. The soul of the Morbid Harvester then entered John's body, thus causing the Morbid Harvester to be reborned. They group fights the Morbid Harvester and defeats it. The monster exploded, killing John with it. The caves started to collapse and the group made it out just in time for an extraction just as the mountain started to cave in.

Retaking Blaine County & Disapperance
In order to reclaim all of San Andreas, SWAT Force One and Project Medusa must retake the El Gordo Lighthouse, where the last of The Resistance's men are hiding out at. The team invades the lighthouse and ascends it until they reached the top, where a soldier grabbed Roach and hucked him off the raling. Roach quickly grabs the ledge and one of the SWAT Force One members killed the soldier. He quickly grabbed Roach, but tells them to go without him as he then loses his grip and falls to his demise. The group leaves and Roach was remembered as a war hero.

Capture & The Creation of the RAP and the Radar Amplifier
However, on August 17th, The Resistance had found the commander unconscious on the coastline near Cape Catfish and took him prisoner. He was brainwashed into a sleeper agent and went M.I.A. for 2 years. On September 4th, 2016, Roach's research farm was now The Resistance's main HQ and military complex, serving under the codename Site Alpha Romeo. Roach then created the Radar Amplifier and the RAP (Radar Amplifier Pillar), which serves as The Resistance's super-weapon. The plan is to use the RAP to send out a massive and permanent EMP which would destroy all electronic devices and objects all around the state. However, it wouldn't affect them due to the Radar Amplifier chip Roach created would counter the affects of the EMP at their base, making the only place in the state with power.

Launching the EMP & Attacking the Los Santos Oil Refinery
On September 10th, the RAP was ready to be used and The Resistance activated the device, sending out a massive EMP across the state, destroying most of the state's defenses. The Resistance under the command of Roach lead a small group to the Los Santos Oil Refinery and attacked the Oil Supply Station, which would be critical to taking over the state. They ended up destroying all of the Murrieta Oil Field, crippling the entire state but Site Alpha Romeo.

Betrayal
However, Roach was actually secretly implanted with the Radar Amplifier into his head and when the EMP was launched, it caused the Radar Amplifier to malfunction. He then devised a small plan to take over all of Site Alpha Romeo by tricking the two commanders of The Resistance, Colonel Mac Davis and Captain John "Doc" Williams into heading to the SWAT Force One's HQ in the Port of Los Santos, steal the intel about a device that could counter the EMP from the control room in the warehouse and to meet Roach at the extraction point at the other side of the warehouse. After Mac and Doc secure the intel, Roach lands his Cargobob and comes out the back to greet them. Roach then proceeds with his plan and then executes Doc. Mac, surprised to see his friend dead gave Roach a second to then execute Mac as The Resistance arrives. Roach takes control of them and orders them to dump their former commanders' corpses into the nearby ocean, which they do. Roach and his men then return to base.

"Death"
However, attacking the naval base caught the attention of Roach's former groups SWAT Force One and Project Medusa into revealing his status. One of The Resistance's members managed to shut down the EMP for a moment so that he could reveal the location of Site Alpha Romeo to the joint teams. The traitor was then killed by Roach and the EMP was reactivated. On September 14th, 2016, SWAT Force One and Project Medusa then headed to Site Alpha Romeo and attacked it. They headed towards the research lab and confronted their former and brainwashed commander. Roach was then shot in the heart by his old friends and the team then shut down the RAP. However, that was part of Roach's plan as once they shut down the EMP, The Resistance would start an airstrike on the base in order to kill them. They barely escape and all of Site Alpha Romeo was demolished.

Survival and Operation: Acidicus
However, Roach was wearing a bullet-proof vest and protected himself from the shot. He managed to escape to the contingency plan he had created; Launching Operation: Acidicus, a plan that involves the new acid-tech he developed back in Site Alpha Romeo. Creating a shuttle using the metal used to create the Radar Amplfier which is immune to EMPs, Roach then founds Project Acid, a research group that studies special types of acid science and developed a device called the Acid Infuser 2000. To use the Infuser, you would put a gun in the case and it'll infuse its design and bullets with acid-tech. Creating a base called "Bravo Point", Roach begins to plan his attack on a colony of orbital weapons in space.

Launching the Shuttle
On September 19th, 2016, the shuttle was complete and was ready for takeoff. However, SWAT Force One and Project Medusa had discovered Roach's endgame and attempted to reach Bravo Point until a small EMP test-fire from Bravo Point was activated, causing their helicopter to crash a mile from Bravo Point, which was located in Procopio Promenade. The team managed to reach the base and ziplined into the base under the cover of darkness. However, Roach's shuttle started to launch and the team managed to board it. They confront him and they have orders to destroy the shuttle before it reached the Low Earth Orbit. They destroy the shuttle and parachute back to the ground. Unknown to the group, Roach planned this and made a small shuttle in the big shuttle to be launched in secret. Roach then arrived at the Acidicus Space Station and then infuses the kinetic rods with a special acid-infused tungsten material.

The Invasion
Roach then launches the rods towards the earth and infects the world with his acid weapon. With most of humanity wiped out except SWAT Force One, Project Medusa and the Military, Roach then paved way for an invasion on the ruined earth. However, following the events of the launch, SWAT Force One and Project Medusa were tasked with meeting their commander at the Del Perro Pier for extraction so they can head to Fort Zancudo in a Titan and board their own shuttle to head into space to confront Roach one last time. As the rods hit and destroyed most of the world, the two groups' Titan was shot down and it crashed in Lago Zancudo. They managed to survive and they boarded their shuttle and headed to the Acidicus Space Station.

Endgame
With Roach and his men cornered at the space station, SWAT Force One and Project Medusa's shuttle reached the Acidicus Space Station. They fought through many waves of Roach's men until he was cornered. He was then shot in the head and was pushed overboard, causing his body to float into the depths of space.

Rail Gun Development
However, Roach had somehow managed to survive space and returned to San Andreas. There, he discovered Rail Gun technology at a recent UFO crash and brought the technology to the Humane Labs and Research, where The Resistance turned it into their personal research facility. About a year later, The Resistance had successfully developed Rail Gun weaponry and decided to test it in the field. Using prisoners retrieved from the Bolingbroke Penitentiary, they tested their Rail Gun weaponry, which was successful in testing and in combat, resulting in the captured prisoners to die once they were shot with the weapons.

The Resistance's Betrayal
Unbeknown to Roach, The Resistance had planned to betray Roach after getting their hands on the Rail Gun technology. They planned to betray him on their next mission, which was intercepting a train containing useful cargo. As Roach took control of the train, The Resistance captured Roach and tossed him off a train trestle and into a river, assumingly killing him. However, Roach survived and then turned to his old groups.

Battle of Paleto Bay
With Roach back in control of SWAT Force One, they discovered that The Resistance had used their Rail Gun technology to take over all of Paleto Bay. Roach, using the samples he recovered, developed more Rail Guns for his men. After infiltrating the city's perimeter via train, the Battle of Paleto Bay occurred. SWAT Force One had managed to push The Resistance to the coastline, successfully reclaiming the city.

Death
A few days later, Roach and his men attacked The Resistance's research facility in hopes of stopping the Rail Gun development. As Roach and his men managed to infiltrate the facility, via waterway, they were attacked. They managed to push towards the development center in the facility, but as Roach destroyed the blueprints, the door behind him locked and The Resistance used their old acid technology to create a chemical gas, which filled the room, killing Roach.

Trivia
Roach's favorite weapons are the Vintage Pistol, the Special Carbine and the Rail Gun.
