Roberto "Bobby" Faranado is of Colombian descent, along with his late mother, Mireya Faranado, and father Mathias Martinez. His mother and father separated when he was younger, with Mathias moving to Miami, Florida. Mireya met an Army soldier, Carlito Soto, who was in the area on vacation with his Army buddy Lucas Pirelli, who is half Colombian, visiting family in Cartagena. Mireya hooked up with Carlito Soto the entire time he was on vacation. It was then that she became pregnant with Bobby's younger half-sister Lillian Faranado.

Moving to the United States
After discovering that he had a daughter two years later, Carlito arranged to marry Mireya and move her, Bobby, and baby Lillian to Key West, Florida with him. Six years later, Mireya died mysteriously. A 15-year-old Bobby took a bus and went to live with his biological father in Miami, as Lillian went to Calico Aster, NC with Don Carlito.

15 Years Later
In 2020, a 30-year-old Bobby left Miami, Florida, for Calico Aster, NC, to help his stepfather, Don Carlito Soto, run his newly acquired Midland Casino in the Midland district after Don Carlito’s Army buddy, Lucas Pirelli, was killed in Moolah City. Bobby agreed because it allowed him to look after his younger half-sister, Lillian. 

Don Carlito allowed Bobby to have a 49% stake in the company because he believed operating the casino alone was too stressful for him, and Lillian was still pursuing her master's degree. With Bobby as the new co-owner, they rebranded Midland Casino as Mi-Goose-Soto Casino, after Bobby’s mother, Mireya Faranado; Bobby’s nickname, “Goose”; and Don Carlito’s surname. 

The Purple Serval Lounge
Bobby purchased the struggling Connie’s Dark Flamingos Strip Club using money he earned through Mi-Goose-Soto Casino. His stepfather, Don Carlito Soto, had a falling-out with Bobby because of Bobby’s relationship with Lucas Pirelli’s daughter, Lucasina Pirelli, who started dancing at Bobby’s newly purchased strip club. Taking a shot at Don Carlito, Bobby renamed the strip club The Purple Serval Lounge after the underwear Lucasina wore in a picture Don Carlito found in her room. She lived with Bobby for a short time before becoming pregnant with their son, Leroy Faranado.
