Jason Michaels was born in Kearny, New Jersey on June 10th 1979, and he was involved in crime as a teenager. In 1997, he was arrested for grand larceny at the age of eighteen, and he would become a member of The Lost MC outlaw biker gang around that time.

Michaels became a patched member of The Lost MC during the mid-2000s, and he was close to the acting head of the New Jersey chapter, Johnny Klebitz.

In 2008, Faustin decided to order a hit on Michaels as he met with his daughter at Coney Island, where he planned to have sex with her under the pier. Faustin sent hitman Niko Bellic to the beach, and Bellic warned Michaels to stay away from Faustin's daughter. Michaels decided to flee on his motorcycle and rally other Lost MC bikers, but Bellic chased after him on a Japanese motorcycle and shot him several times in the back with a pistol, killing him. Lost MC president Billy Grey would blame the Angels of Death for his death, and he pursued retaliation for his murder by destroying their clubhouse.
