Harold Joseph

"Oh, no, no, show some respect here, n****. The man they couldn't hold down is back. Come on, now."

- Harold to Tyler Fusco Harold Joseph, better known as "Stretch", is a character in the Gangster's Paradise series, who appears the Quadragonist in Gangster's Paradise V, along with Martin Madrazo, Juan Strickler, and Tyler Fusco. Stretch was a senior member of the Feud gang and a former friend of Tyler Fusco. He is voiced by Hassan Johnson.

Background
Harold Joseph was born in Del Perro and joined the Feud at a young age. He eventually worked his way up through the ranks and became a senior and respected veteran "OG" member within the gang, also earning his nickname "Stretch". He also became friends with Tyler Fusco and Leroy Smith. However, Leroy developed an antagonistic relationship with Stretch, presumably due to his reckless and selfish behavior. Tyler, however, idolized Stretch from a young age. At some point prior to 2014, Stretch was arrested and taken to prison for an unknown crime that he presumably committed for the Feud. Renatta Sidwell posts a message on his Bookface after his release from prison critical that he hasn't been to visit her or "the little one", implying he is shirking his paternal responsibility.

Personality
From his appearances, Stretch is shown to be an extremely murderous, violent, brutal, bloodthirsty, sadistic, selfish, reckless, cold-blooded and trigger-happy gangster, who for some reason, shows a very strong mutual dislike towards fellow gangster Leroy Smith and the two frequently argue, leaving Tyler to pick a side, however most of the times Tyler tries to stay neutral to their conflict and tries to resolve their issues. The possible reason for Leroy's dislike of Stretch could be due to Stretch trying to pull Leroy into the life that put him in jail in the first place, and also due to Stretch's selfish personality and his routine gangbanging life, while Stretch appears to dislike Leroy due to his attempts to leave the hood and make something real for himself as well as for skepticisms and his doubts about the deals they make and that Tyler and Stretch should also leave the hood and get some jobs which won't get them killed in the process. He appears to have a very short temper, assaulting Leroy for poking fun at him for "dropping the soap" in prison, and is also very merciless as shown when he immediately, and without hesitation, shoots an unarmed Big T twice in the face when he discovered that he had betrayed them.

Appearance
Stretch is a short, bulky man with numerous tattoos covering his body. He wears usual Feud clothes including a white T-shirt, blue shorts, a green hat and a silver chain. He has no hair at all.
