The Yokel Mafia or The County Mob is a loose group of rural criminals operating on the outskirts of Los Santos. It is mainly comprised of career criminals with generational ties to the land. It is said that it's success it somewhat due to the "good ol' boy" tradition. A form of backwoods cronyism in practice in regions of the American South. This sort of reputation makes the group particularly ingrained in their local society and this degree of loyalty makes it hard for the criminal underworld of Red County hard to penetrate.. So while it also boast various yokels, vagabonds, convicts, marauders, and men of ill-repute it can be said that these men are simply chasing their version of the American Dream. It's hard to hold that against a man when you've known him your entire life. The bad seeds in Red County are often viewed as outlaws and living folk heros. Growing up in the country, youngin's want to be the cowboy, not the lawman. It's this kind of mentality that allows this organization to thrive. Regardless, these men have have banded together for a variety of reasons. The usual fantasy of the freedom and success that quick riches provides. Many are renegades who wish to live life on their own terms. Having rejected the ideals of mainstream society, they wish to pursue their own means of climbing the social ladder. Many view Los Santos and it's urbanite culture as disdainful and indicative of the cultural shift that their country is undergoing. For this reason, many members of this organization have retreated from the wider world and have grown distrustful of all governments due to the abuse that many believe they have suffered, and have began to develop a cult style following of their leader. The group wishes to secure land in which they can call their own, fortify themselves from the outside world and live in peace. One such man is the venerable Clyde Dickens. Many local criminals have banded together around this patriarchal figure in search of guidance. This has recently brought this nebulous network of Red County criminals into a tighter cohesion. A veteran of multiple armed conflicts, he was a man who felt used by his government and alienated on his return home. This sort of detachment is common to many who engage in longstanding criminality. His expertise and contacts to other former service members have resulted in the organization proclivity towards various rackets. They are known to take part in various illicit activities in order to satisfy their lifestyle. Drug trafficking in the form of clandestine meth or crack labs, to prescription opiate distribution, even ties to heroin trade of the Golden Crescent. Strong armed robberies, burglary, extortion, and other physical thefts. Even something as sophisticated at credit card fraud and other forms of forgery. They have been known to bootleg and dabble in prostitution. From after hours bars to country brothels. Nothing is beyond consideration for the county's criminal elite. Beyond The County After extreme loss of profits and halting business procedures, hierarchy of The Mob have concluded that establishing strategic business relations with the city is needed for their best advantages to help support their ventures. From drugs to weapons and prostitutes, nothing was left out of consideration for trade and distribution. The Mob has chosen that if they want to proceed with their way of life, outside of the law they have to remain discrete and reinforce their originally planned ideas for business to continue on, while still raking in the profits. It is a massive change to the Mob's standard of business but it is a risk they're willing to take in order to improve their organization and underworld relations. The Mob will do what they must to achieve their goal, and they aren't ready to take jobs from city slickers or the government.

The only desires Clyde had prior to the death of his wife was to return home to his new child and loving wife after the war ended, but his only motivation to keep hoping of returning home was completely abolished after his pregnant wife died in a car accident, because of a drunk driver t-boning her vehicle. After the end of Vietnam and the peace keeping period, Clyde would remain as a hermit in his apartment, drinking and abusing medication as he can only wait to be recalled so he may resume service.

Randy's love for gore and horror lead him to entering the military as a field medic in Vietnam, where he could get a fix for his anti-social horror filled mind. He was fascinated by the human body, the anatomy of it, the way it worked, and he got to see far too much of it in Vietnam. This lead to him denying his normal self, and caused him to frown upon his former thoughts, although he still loved medicine, and the way the army operated, and was undoubtedly a honest and loyal man he threw away the gore and horror.
