Geoff H, better known online as Modest Pelican (formerly Modest Pelican Gaming), is an Australian gaming YouTuber who began his career making primarily Battlefield I videos, often with intentionally humorous narration. He has since branched out to playing a number of different games, especially Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Hitman 2, Red Dead Redemption 2: Online, Watch Dogs 2, Watch Dogs: Legion and Grand Theft Auto V: Online. His focus has also shifted over the years from somewhat serious gameplay videos to completely comedic takes on games. Recently, Modest Pelican has been creating overarching stories for his characters in the games he plays, often spanning numerous videos or even entire series.

History Modest Pelican Gaming created his YouTube account in 2013 but didn't post any videos until Autumn of 2016[1] when he began posting primarily Battlefield I gameplay montages. Although his videos were never particularly serious, after the first six or so months of posting, Modest Pelican's videos began to become more and more comedic. It was also around this time that he began to branch out in terms of video format, often focusing not on a gameplay highlight reel but on an aspect of the game that he wished to speak in-depth about. He produced nearly 100 videos in this way before deciding to branch out from Battlefield formula in October of 2018[2] to make a video on Red Dead Redemption 2.After the release of Battlefield V a month later, Modest Pelican began alternating between posting his traditional Battlefield videos for Battlefield V and posting new videos depicting the violent exploits of Papa Pelican, a character and narrative created by Modest Pelican for use in Red Dead Redemption 2's online mode. Likely recognizing the success of the latter video series, Modest Pelican began gradually transitioning his channel away from Battlefield videos and towards other games in early 2019[3]. He tested out numerous different games around this time including Hitman 2, Apex Legends, The Division 2, and Sea of Thieves[4].

On March 31st, 2019[5], Modest Pelican released the first video in his Thickman takes over Los Santos series, chronicling the narrative he created for his character, Thickman, in Grand Theft Auto V: Online. Since the release of the first Thickman video, Modest Pelican has limited his videos to primarily covering Grand Theft Auto: Online, Red Dead Redemption 2: Online, and Hitman 2. However, he also plays Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, DayZ, and an assortment of other games from time to time.

On December 6th, 2020, Modest Pelican hit 1 million subscribers. He celebrated by making a video of him jokingly naming future channels that he would create. As of January 2021, Modest Pelican is sitting at 1.12 million subscribers.

Modest Pelican frequently features some of his online friends in videos, especially in his GTA V and RDR2 episodes. The group calls themselves "The Sons of Virgins" and, as of February 23rd, 2020[6], consists of nine members. Certain comments made during videos imply that Jesus Christ may be an honorary member of the Son's of Virgins.

Personality Modest Pelican is a highly sarcastic individual who narrates his gameplay clips in an ironically deadpan voice. Modest Pelican seems generally easygoing from his vlogs and is often so indifferent to the fate of the character he is controlling that he lets them die just for the fun of it. Modest Pelican has been known to go on killing sprees in Red Dead Redemption at random, often singling out a specific player and killing them again and again and again. Aside from these occasional outbursts, Modest Pelican is usually courteous to real players during online encounters, often asking them if they would like to join him on his absurd quest, whatever it may be.

Modest Pelican frequently requests that his viewers remember to stay hydrated. In fact, he generally seems to have an "obsession" with drinking water. It can be assumed that this is mostly said as a joke, however, it is unclear where this quirky phrase originated.

Personal Life While little is known about Modest Pelican, it is known that he currently resides in Australia. Modest Pelican's first name is Geoff and he has a girlfriend named Anna. Geoff H has a younger sister and at least one other sibling. Additionally, although Modest Pelican has never released his age, it can be assumed based on photographs that he is in his mid-20s. He began the channel while still in college but now considers "YouTuber" to be his profession. It is unknown if Geoff H has a day-job or not.

Philanthropy On January 5th, 2020, Modest Pelican announced that all money made from that day's video would go towards helping firemen fight the bushfires ravaging much of Australia at the time[7].

Thickman takes over Los Santos "Thickman takes over Los Santos" is an ongoing series that follows the exploits of Agent 47, a supposedly retired hitman who moves to Los Santos and attempts to become the most feared man in the city by selling drugs and robbing a wide assortment of institutions including banks, casinos, and recently, a private island. Thickman formed a feared gang called "Sons Of Virgins" with people named "Boys Boys Boys"

Background First created by Modest Pelican on March 31st of 2019, Thickman takes over Los Santos is set in the fictional city of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto Online. Currently, it's protagonist, Agent 47, is taken from the Hitman series. The series follows the life of Agent 47, who has retired (or was fired, it's not clear what exactly went down) from being a professional assassin and must now face life in the real world (of Grand Theft Auto V: Online).

Plot Synopsis Having lost his job as an international hitman, Agent 47 (aka Thickman) finds himself in Los Santos with only a few thousand dollars to his name and without his signature red tie (its fate is unclear). In an effort to get his life back on track and recover from losing the job that had pretty much defined him, Thickman hijacks an SUV, buys a new red tie, meets up with his friend, Crosby, and decides that his new objective in life will be to become a drug/crime lord and take over Los Santos. He starts his new life of crime by holding up a convenience store and participating in an illegal street race for RC cars before visiting a nightclub. At the nightclub, Thickman and Crosby decide to intercept an in-progress bank heist and steal the money for themselves. Traveling in an armored vehicle owned by Crosby, the duo eliminate the robbers and lose the cops after an intense firefight. Upon completing the mission, Thickman and Crosby hold up several more stores, earning Thickman enough to purchase his first home, a dumpy apartment that "looks like a drug den."
