| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He coerces Niko in working with him via blackmail to get rid of people who are supposedly part of a terrorist group, but some other missions involve killing people who threaten the ULP, leaving it ambiguous how justified his actions are. |
| 23 | * BigGood: He's the closest thing to it in the game - while it's unclear how justified his actions are, he ultimately keeps his promises to Niko, periodically providing him with assistance from on high. |
| 24 | * TheBusCameBack: He returns in GTA 5 and Online. |
| 25 | * ConfirmedBachelor: He mentions during one conversation that he was never married, possibly due to the nature of his work. |
| 26 | * CunningLinguist: He reveals himself to be fluent in Serbian during his first meeting with Niko. |
| 27 | * DeadpanSnarker: He and Niko trade snide, thinly-veiled [[SnarkToSnarkCombat insults]] in almost all their conversations. |
| 28 | * DemotedToExtra: Goes from a main character in 4 to a minor character in 5. He gains his prominence back in Online, though. |
| 29 | * FreezeFrameBonus: Examining the diploma hanging in his office reveals it to have been addressed to one "[[http://gta.wikia.com/File:CIA.png Edward T. Fortune]]". It also contains the seal of the UsefulNotes/{{CIA}}, the first hint at his company's true affiliation. |
| 30 | ** While it is true that he is an IAA agent in ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV V]]'', however it is later revealed that [[spoiler: his name is Bernard in the Doomsday Heist.]] |
| 31 | * GivenNameReveal: After going nameless in GTA 4 and 5, GTA Online gives us his name [[spoiler:Bernard]]. |
| 32 | * TheHandler: Though he is [[BeingPersonalIsntProfessional a much colder example]] than most. |
| 33 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: Despite his very cold demeanor, it is implied that he has quite a bit of respect for Niko. This can be seen in his emails wherein he warns Niko to stay away from [[TheMafia the Pegorinos]], and later, when he delivers [[spoiler: Darko Brevic]] to Niko as a parting gift. |
| 34 | * IGaveMyWord: He parts ways with Niko by [[spoiler:locating and delivering Darko Brevic]] as agreed. |
| 35 | ** He also says that they did the same thing with Michelle and "gave her her life back" after she accomplished her mission of monitoring Niko. |
| 36 | * InterserviceRivalry: He loves talking smack about the FIB. |
| 37 | --> "The FIB? Do I look homosexual? Do you think I care about the size of your Johnson?" |
| 38 | * TheMenInBlack: He's essentially this, his company being a top-secret division of the [[UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} IAA]] devoted to fighting terrorism from the shadows and using extensive cover-ups to keep their actions secret. |
| 39 | * NoNameGiven: He refuses to give a name to Niko, and the game files provide two entirely different ones. Given his line of work, it wouldn't be surprising if he had [[IHaveManyNames many names.]] |
| 40 | * OddFriendship: With TheDon of [[TheMafia the Gambetti Family]], Jon Gravelli. |
| 41 | * TheSpook: NoNameGiven. Physical description matches most males in his workplace. No distinguishing features. Nature of employment undisclosed. The man reads like a checklist for black ops agents. |
| 42 | * SmugSnake: Always puts on a cool, collected, and confident air because he knows he has Niko completely under his control. |
| 43 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: He regularly engages in this with Niko. |
| 44 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He mentions that his organization always uses people the same way Michelle and Niko were used to supposedly help them take down people who are a threat to the country. |

| 55 | ->For tropes relating to her appearance in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', see her entry in this [[Characters/GrandTheftAutoVCharactersFromGrandTheftAutoIV character sheet]]. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * BigEater: If Niko takes her to a restaurant, she ''always'' says that she ate way too much, we don't see how much she eats, but it has to be a lot. And she can be taken to a restaurant every day. |
| 58 | * DamningWithFaintPraise: Says Niko is better than most guys she dates--despite the fact that he's a hitman. |
| 59 | * DevilInPlainSight: Mallorie remarks that Michelle always seemed rather odd to everyone in their office, and her shifty behavior on dates gives credence to this. [[spoiler:Turns out she wasn't being truthful about herself.]] |
| 60 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Any dates with her will involving some form of prodding towards Niko's personal life, the player's choice for a date (she reacts negatively if you took her somewhere like a cabaret club), and if Roman might be recruited as a crook, or involved in criminal activities and he never once imply such as he's trying to avoid getting him involved in his affairs. Niko however doesn't pick up on it. |
| 61 | * GirlNextDoor: She introduces herself as a soft-spoken woman from the Midwest who just moved to Liberty City. [[spoiler:It's likely she used this cover identity to elicit more sympathy from Niko.]] |
| 62 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: The first time Niko meets her [[spoiler:after TheReveal]], she is shown smoking. [[spoiler:This is in direct contrast to her earlier behavior.]] |
| 63 | * HoneyTrap: She seems like a sweet, if awkward, young lady from the Midwest, just looking for someone to spend time with in Liberty City [[spoiler: but her demeanor is likely just a cover for her true identity as an IAA agent.]] |
| 64 | * InLoveWithTheMark: She seems genuinely upset [[spoiler:after she is forced to betray Niko, [[ZigzaggedTrope but quickly casts this off in time for Niko's first meeting with her boss]]]]. |
| 65 | * KarmaHoudini: She never receives any retribution[[spoiler: for betraying Niko, in this game or the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV next]].]] |
| 66 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: It's heavily implied by The Contact that this was the reason [[spoiler:she agreed to spy on Niko]]. |
| 67 | * PutOnABus: Disappears from the story [[spoiler:after she introduces Niko to her mysterious employer. She returns in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', where she makes an appearance as a high ranking IAA agent involved in interrogating a suspect, but she disappears once again.]] |
| 68 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Implies this during the first date, coming off as a little desperate. |
| 69 | * StatuesqueStunner: The cutscenes show her to be roughly the same height as Niko, who is estimated to be around 5'11" - 6'2" according to a wanted poster. |
| 70 | * TheTeetotaler: Doesn't get drunk when you go to bars. [[spoiler:This takes on a more sinister tone when it is revealed that she was spying on Niko.]] |

| 81 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Walter Mudu (Malc) and Craig "muMs" Grant ([=DeSean=]) |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Leading members of the Uptown Riders, an outlaw motorcycle gang. They maintain close ties with Johnny and The Lost MC. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | -> For tropes relating to Malc's appearance in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', see his entry in this [[Characters/GrandTheftAutoVCharactersFromGrandTheftAutoIV character sheet]]. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | * BadassBiker: Both of them. |
| 88 | * BashBrothers: Malc is this mostly with [=DeSean=], but becomes this to Johnny after the race. |
| 89 | * AFriendInNeed: Malc has gotten Johnny out of many a bind; most notably, he helps Johnny escape a botched drug deal after the latter's bike was destroyed. Johnny can likewise help Malc and [=DeSean=] take vengeance on some rival bikers who illegally shot at [=DeSean=] during a race. |
| 90 | * FriendlyRival: When no business is at hand, Malc and Johnny are either [[SnarkToSnarkCombat snarking]] at each other or trying to best each other in a race, but they both keep everything good-natured. |
| 91 | * HonorIsFairPlay: They are pragmatic when it comes to DirtyBusiness, but race against them, and they expect [[SeriousBusiness fair play]]. When [=DeSean=] asks Malc and Johnny to help him take revenge on a rival biker who shot at him during a race, Johnny points out that he was barely hurt. [=DeSean=] insists that ItsThePrincipleOfTheThing and that the rival should have used [[BatterUp a bat]] as per race rules. |
| 92 | * JiveTurkey: See SoulBrotha below. Others outside their gang can understand them [[DownplayedTrope perfectly]], but the slang they use occasionally leads to strange moments like when Malc calls Johnny, who is three years his senior, "son." |
| 93 | * SoulBrotha: In contrast to the HeavyMetal aesthetic in other biker gangs, the Uptown Riders are more entrenched in HipHop culture and it shows in their manner of [[JiveTurkey speech]], Malc's flamboyant hairdo, and [=DeSean=]'s BulletproofVest. |
| 94 | * SpiritedCompetitor: They operate primarily for the thrill of the race, and they mostly associate with other biker gangs to look for {{Worthy Opponent}}s they can compete with. |

| 101 | ->'''Voiced by:''' John Lantz |
| 102 | |
| 103 | A Liberty City congressman who has coerced Johnny Klebitz into committing heinous crimes on his behalf to further his career. |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | * AffablyEvil: Always addresses Johnny in a courteous manner, with nary a hint of snobbery. He also proves himself a loyal friend to Johnny [[spoiler:by tipping the latter off to Billy Grey's plans to [[TheStoolPigeon testify]] against the Lost]]. |
| 106 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: He doesn't bother trying to hide that he wants to further his career by any means necessary. |
| 107 | * BigGood: In [=TLaD=], he's the closest character to being this, as he ultimately helps Johnny in taking down [[BigBad Billy]] in the end. |
| 108 | * {{Blackmail}}: [[invoked]] A few of his jobs involve gathering dirt on his political rivals. One notable mission has Johnny stealing the Deputy Mayor's [[CoolCar Infernus]] and having it fitted with a wire in order to out the man as a [[ArmoredClosetGay closeted homosexual]]. Yes, this is [[ParanoiaFuel the same Infernus]] that Bernie Crane gives Niko Bellic in the main game. |
| 109 | * CardCarryingVillain: Openly embraces being a corrupt official. |
| 110 | * CorruptPolitician: Par for the course in a [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto GTA]] game, but Stubbs stoops pretty low, even for the series, when he hires Johnny to kill his uncle just so he can receive his inheritance and use it to fund his reelection. |
| 111 | * TheCynic: By his own admission. |
| 112 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be unapologetically corrupt, but he doesn't seem to think too highly of [[spoiler:Billy Grey's decision to sell out the Lost]]. |
| 113 | * EvilNephew: His first mission involves Johnny killing his uncle so he can inherit the family funds. |
| 114 | * FalseFlagOperation: His MO. He needs someone like Johnny to commit the violent crimes he needs carried out so that these can be attributed to terrorist attacks or to the recent rise in [[MobWar gang activity]], and not, say, the House of Representatives. |
| 115 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Downplayed. He is corrupt, selfish and sleazy, but ultimately willing to help those who helped him back. |
| 116 | * HonorAmongThieves: He may have forced Johnny to commit acts of state terrorism on his behalf, but he always makes sure to repay the latter handsomely for a job well done. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he even informs Johnny of Billy Grey's plans to become a [[TheStoolPigeon state witness]], stating that he was "good for a favor."]] |
| 117 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He wants the support of his constituents so that he can feel "marginally less bad about himself." |
| 118 | * InheritanceMurder: In his EstablishingCharacterMoment, he instructs Johnny to assassinate his uncle in a manner [[FalseFlagOperation reminiscent]] of a terrorist attack so he can appropriate the Stubbs family trust for use in his reelection campaign. He is completely [[DissonantSerenity nonchalant]] and completely [[NakedFirstImpression naked]] as he gives these orders. |
| 119 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Almost all of his missions involve Johnny commiting a crime in order to help Stubbs further his political career. |
| 120 | * NakedFirstImpression: Johnny first meets him lounging about naked in the massage parlor of his favorite SmokyGentlemensClub. This scene sparked a fairly huge controversy when ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheLostAndDamned Lost]]'' was released due to the MaleFrontalNudity present therein. |
| 121 | * OddFriendship: Calling it a friendship is pushing it a bit, but he and Johnny share a pretty cordial relationship for a CorruptPolitician and an [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels outlaw biker]]. At least from Stubbs' perspective, he considers it friendship since Johnny saw him [[NakedFirstImpression naked]]. |
| 122 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Convinces Johnny to work for him by threatening to have The Lost's officers arrested and convicted of drug trafficking. |
| 123 | * PetTheDog: Deeply corrupt as he is, [[spoiler: he does shows loyalty to Johhny when he repays him for all his help by informing of Billy's plans to sell him and the Lost out to the authorities, telling him that he was "good for a favor".]] |
| 124 | * SharpDressedMan: Fittingly for a politician, he dons a nice suit outside his house. |
| 125 | * SmokingIsCool: His concept art shows him with a cigar in [[ASinisterClue his left hand]], and he's seen smoking one in the last mission (Though he's oddly holding it with his right hand instead). |

| 132 | |
| 133 | A nameless kitchen cook who worked on the Platypus, the ship that brought Niko to Liberty City. Despite being an extra with no name, he sets in motion a chain of events that affect not only the main game's story, but its side-stories as well. |
| 134 | ---- |
| 135 | * AscendedExtra: He only appears for one moment during the main game's intro scene, and is only seen again during the expansion packs when he is trying to sell the diamonds off to Gay Tony. |
| 136 | * DecapitationPresentation: [[spoiler:Ray Bulgarin takes his head and puts it in a box for Luis to see]]. |
| 137 | * NoNameGiven: His real name is never spoken. |
| 138 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He is a nobody on the grand scheme of things, but his diamonds' steal lures Bulgarin to Liberty City in search of Niko, causing Dimitri Rascalov to betray him and put the Mafia on his heel, sets the Lost MC against Ray Boccinno which leads to [[spoiler:their complete destruction]] by the end of their story and also paint a target on Tony Prince and his assistant Luis. Had this cook not stolen from Bulgarin, their stories would have taken waaaay different paths. |
| 139 | * TooDumbToLive: You'd have to be stupid in order to steal 2 million worth of diamonds from an AxCrazy Russian gangster like Bulgarin. [[spoiler:And sure enough, he pays with his life. Messily]]. |

| 146 | A cannibalistic serial killer encountered by Johnny in ''The Lost and the Damned'' that finds himself in a prison bus full of white-collar criminals that he is supposed to release on Stubbs' orders. |
| 147 | ---- |
| 148 | * AffablyEvil: Much like the character that inspired him, he is very refined and cordial while speaking to Johnny even when the latter [[EvenEvilHasStandards shows disgust at him for being a cannibal]]. He also sings a very cheery song while relishing his new found freedom. |
| 149 | * {{Expy}}: A very obvious one to Hannibal Lecter, being a cannibal with a sophisticated personality that even wears the same mask to prevent him from eating people. |
| 150 | * KarmaHoudini: Curtis gets released alongside all the other criminals by Johnny and is never seen or heard from again. |
| 151 | * NoodleIncident: While we never see it, he apparently disemboweled a orderly during custody earlier. |
| 152 | * SlashedThroat: He kills a police officer by ripping his neck open with his teeth. |

| 160 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Kim Howard |
| 161 | |
| 162 | An idealistic lawyer at Goldberg, Linder, & Shyster who is planning to run for District Attorney. Niko meets her on Love-Meet, and can date her if he so desires. |
| 163 | ---- |
| 164 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Niko at one point ''confesses to her that he's an assassin.'' Her response? ''Blame society for his problems and continue to date him!'' |
| 165 | * ClingyJealousGirl: If Niko is in a relationship with her and dates another girl or hires a prostitute, she'll send him threatening text messages and make angry, paranoid phone calls. If you go upstairs to the other girl's home, on rare occasions you will come out to your car (if you didn't use a taxi.) vandalized in various ways, such as having its hood or one of the doors removed, or having its tyres slashed. |
| 166 | * DatingCatwoman: Niko is a contract killer murdering his way across Liberty City's criminal underworld. Kiki is ''running for DA.'' |
| 167 | * HelloAttorney: She works as a lawyer and is attractive. |
| 168 | * JerkassHasAPoint: While she takes her jealousy too far, Kiki does have the right to be mad at Niko for cheating on her with other girlfriends and/or prostitutes. |
| 169 | * SocietyIsToBlame: Her belief in this trope is why she has [[SoapBoxSadie exclusively represented]] (now-convicted) criminals in court. In-game, she can clear your WantedMeter by using her connections with the current DA to threaten the cops with PoliceBrutality charges. |
| 170 | * WideEyedIdealist: Kiki is very sympathetic and naive in nature, as she dated some of her clients, only for them to commit crimes again and be imprisoned. |
| 171 | * {{Yandere}}: If Niko dates Kiki while dating other girlfriends, after a while, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kfrildtxUI she starts stalking Niko]]. On rare occasions, Kiki will appear in the cutscenes which precede entering venues when Niko is dating other women. She will shout various things, such as threatening to kill Niko's date, calling her derogatory terms as well as claiming that Niko is hers. |

| 177 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Samantha Soule |
| 178 | |
| 179 | A haughty socialite who runs a blog called "Liberated Woman." Niko meets her through a Craplist post, and can date her if he so desires. |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Her attraction to Niko is based solely on him being a mysterious foreigner. |
| 182 | * AlphaBitch: Egotistical and annoying as hell. |
| 183 | * AmbiguouslyBi: She’s happy if Niko takes her to a strip club (all of which only have female strippers). |
| 184 | * [[AndYourRewardIsClothes And Your Reward Is]] ''[[DiscountCard A 50% Discount]]'' [[AndYourRewardIsClothes On Clothes]]: If you call her with a high enough relationship status, that is. The discount applies to all available shops in the city, but she'd prefer you use it at [[SharpDressedMan Perseus]]. |
| 185 | * AttentionWhore: She apparently aspires to write books and movies about herself. |
| 186 | * CassandraTruth: Niko flat out tells her that he kills people for a living. She doesn't buy it, forcing him to claim that he works for construction instead. |
| 187 | * ConspicuousConsumption: Her credit card is always maxed out because she insists on bying extremely expensive clothes. |
| 188 | * DumbBlonde: Doesn't even know who [[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin Stalin]] is. |
| 189 | * GoldDigger: Her go-to method of advancing in life is sleeping with rich men for money or other benefits. On her blog, she mentions dating an old man with a prosthetic limb who has "more money than a third-world country" and how she reluctantly sleeps with him, despite his breath smelling like "dog shit". |
| 190 | * HomePornMovie: If Niko goes on enough dates with her she will mention that she has made a video of her and Niko having sex. |
| 191 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Claims that she doesn't need any man to get her what she wants, even though her extravagant lifestyle is funded entirely by her father. When Niko points this out, she just says that [[InsaneTrollLogic her father doesn't count as a man because he's her daddy]]. After breaking up with Niko, she also claims that she's done fooling around and needs to start finding a [[GoldDigger rich man to marry her]]. |
| 192 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: [[InVinoVeritas If she's had a few to drink]] she states outright that she hates herself and isn't happy at all. Even without being drunk, she lets it slipped on a few occasion that she's deeply unhappy with being unable to get her life together, before backtracking and claiming that everything is fine. |
| 193 | * InVinoVeritas: [[RunningGag Like most characters that you can take out for drinks,]] she's actually deeply unhappy and suffering from some serious self-loathing. |
| 194 | * {{Irony}}: For someone who's constantly on the lookout for a good story to prop up her floundering autobiography, she's pretty quick to dismiss Niko's confession about being a mob hitman as a joke. Poor girl caught gold with Niko but is too dense to see it. |
| 195 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Any given date between her and Niko mostly consists of her going off on tangents about how great she is, while Niko merely offers one-word responses every now and then. She's also writing a novel (after failing to make a movie) entirely about herself because she believes that her superior life will touch people. |
| 196 | * ManicPixieDreamGirl: [[SubvertedTrope Thinks]] she's this to Niko (whom she believes to work in construction), when in reality he lives a far more interesting life than her as a hitman for multiple crime syndicates. She sounds almost giddy upon hearing how mundane his job is, as if she's always wanted to be this trope to someone but all of the guys she's dated so far had a more interesting life than her. Due to the fact that she's writing an autobiography, it's highly likely that she believes being one in real life will help it sell better. |
| 197 | * MarriageOfConvenience: Straight up asks Niko to marry her, not out of love, but because their marriage will add a marketable UptownGirl arc into her autobiography. She also hopes to turn Niko into a media star, thinking that his story of going from a poor immigrant to marrying a rich girl will prove popular among the "border jumpers" of America. |
| 198 | * MotorMouth: She doesn't shut up, ''ever''. |
| 199 | * NiceToTheWaiter: If Niko picks her up for a date in a cheap car she will mention that she [[StealthInsult bought the same car for her maid]]. |
| 200 | * PetTheDog: She agrees to go out with Niko, even though he's by every indication just a poor immigrant (GameplayAndStorySegregation aside, Niko tells her that he works in construction and she makes frequent snide remarks about how poor he is on her blog). That being said, it's possible she plans from the start to go out with him only to make her autobiography better with the addition of an UptownGirl love story. |
| 201 | * ReallyGetsAround: Started sleeping her way to the top since the age of 15, and continues to do it nowadays. |
| 202 | * RichBitch: Haughty, self-centered, vain beyond reason... |
| 203 | ** LovableAlphaBitch: ...and also impossible to take seriously due to her sheer [[SmallNameBigEgo pretentionousness]] and BrainlessBeauty. |
| 204 | * SmallNameBigEgo: She's confident that she will become someone important, like [[DumbBlonde Stalin]] (too ignorant to realize that Niko compares her to Stalin as a StealthInsult). The reality is that she's just a blogger nearing her 30s who's still smooching off her parents while [[UngratefulBastard constantly insulting one of them]]. |
| 205 | * {{Socialite}}: A pretty stereotypical one at that. |
| 206 | * UpperClassTwit: A SpoiledBrat with a lot of self-importance and little intelligence. |

| 216 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Carmen will be happy if Niko takes her to a strip club (all of which only have female strippers) and in one cutscene can be seen dancing ''very'' suggestively with Elizabeta Torres. |
| 217 | * BrainlessBeauty: Which makes you wonder how she got through med school to become a nurse. |
| 218 | * FakeBoobs: If Niko takes Carmen to a strip club she will mention that her silicon breasts are better than the ones the strippers have. |
| 219 | * HospitalHottie: Works as a nurse, and is very damn good-looking. |
| 220 | * MeaningfulName: She shares her name with one of the most famous seductresses in literature which is appropriate given her sexual nature. |
| 221 | * TheMedic: She can provide you with RegeneratingHealth if you call her once your relationship status is high enough. |
| 222 | * ParentalIssues: Carmen mentions that her dad regularly berates her for [[ExtremeOmnisexual her lifestyle]]. |
| 223 | * ReallyGetsAround: If Luis and Henrique are to be believed, she's slept with pretty much everyone in South Bohan at least once. |
| 224 | -->'''Armando''': Who ''hasn't'' had this piece of ass!? |
| 225 | * SelfDeprecation: Her nickname on Lovemeet.net ([=SoBoHoe=]) is short for "'''So'''uth '''Bo'''han W'''ho'''r'''e'''". |
| 226 | * SpicyLatina: She is a Hispanic woman who is very comfortable with her sexuality. |
| 227 | --> '''Carmen (when playing pool with Niko)''': Let’s see how good you are with [[DoubleEntendre your stick]]. |
| 228 | * ThirdPersonPerson: A big fan of this. In one instance, she even refers to herself as ''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]]'' Carmen. |

| 235 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eddielow_gtaiv.jpg]] |
| 236 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"Eddie never jokes. Eddie needs to be taken seriously."'']] |
| 237 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Victor Verhaeghe |
| 238 | |
| 239 | A serial killer and rapist prowling the streets of Alderney. |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * AbusiveParents: His dad molested him and his mother beat him. |
| 242 | * AssholeVictim: Since he's a depraved serial killer and rapist who later attempts to kill Niko, you won't feel bad about filling him full of lead when you get the chance. |
| 243 | * AxCrazy: To the Nth degree. Much of his dialogue is littered with mentions of dismemberment, torture, sexual violence, bestiality, and more. You could almost see killing the guy as a MercyKill. [[AssholeVictim Almost.]] |
| 244 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Had a record of animal cruelty as a kid and is also implied to sexually harass his own pet cat. |
| 245 | * BestialityIsDepraved: Aside from a number of ''very'' questionable [[NoodleIncident situations with critters]] written in Eddie's blog, he's also rather curious about animal masturbation. |
| 246 | * BerserkButton: He flies off the handle when Niko tells him his behaviour is "not cool", apparently triggering some bad memories from his childhood. |
| 247 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He quickly realizes that Niko is a foreigner and correctly guesses that he’s from the Balkans which is especially notable given how other characters frequently confuse Niko for a Russian or a Pole. |
| 248 | * CainAndAbel: He killed his little brother by frying him in the oven and dumped his body in the pond. |
| 249 | * CardCarryingVillain: Eddie doesn't bother to hide his insanity ''in the slightest'', brags about his crimes on the internet and even outright ''taunts'' the authorities about how they fail to catch him. |
| 250 | * CreepyBlueEyes: It's kind of hard to tell, but it's there. |
| 251 | * CreepyChild: He was an utter psychopath and a pervert since elementary school. |
| 252 | * DepravedBisexual: And a whole list of other things. |
| 253 | * DisproportionateRetribution: When he's not killing people [[ForTheEvulz for fun]], he flies into murderous rage over the smallest reasons, as when he killed a female clerk when she refused to "nurse" (breast-feed) him, or when he attacked Niko for simply calling him out on his creepiness. |
| 254 | * EnfantTerrible: Low started racking up a body count as a child, [[MurderInTheFamily killing off three of his family members]] before targeting his classmates, and was also arrested for [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animal cruelty]] at the age of 9. |
| 255 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In his own words, he did love his mother and seems to like his mischievous cat, Boo Boo Wilkins. |
| 256 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: He claims the victims in his bag are "heading off". |
| 257 | ** Eddie never jokes, though, he needs to be taken seriously. |
| 258 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Has [[SerialRapist raped]] [[DepravedBisexual men, women]], [[PaedoHunt children]], [[BestialityIsDepraved animals]], [[ALoveToDismember bodyparts]], [[ILoveTheDead corpses]], [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs dismembered corpses]]... |
| 259 | * ForTheEvulz: His primary reason for murdering people is this. |
| 260 | * FreudianExcuse: [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse It's not much of an excuse]], but Eddie's father ''did'' abuse and sexually harass him as a kid. |
| 261 | * HateSink: He's a deranged SerialKiller and a ''really'' PsychopathicManchild who acts by his own impulses and has raped, tortured and murdered numerous victims of various [[DepravedBisexual genders]], [[WouldHurtAChild ages]] [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals and species]]. Fortunately, you can kill him as you wish in his last mission. |
| 262 | * HiddenDepths: He makes his money by pickpocketing, something that requires subtlety and skill, neither of which Eddie displays on-screen. That would mean that Eddie, despite his strange behavior, is somewhat capable of blending in with the crowds and performing the necessary maneuvers for pickpocketing. |
| 263 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Niko Bellic has witnessed humanity at its worst as a ChildSoldier in UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars, works freelance for the various criminal organizations in Liberty, and has a body count in the hundreds. '''This guy''' manages to disturb him. |
| 264 | * ILoveTheDead: In his own words, he's had sex with with either tens or hundreds of people depending on if dead people count or not. |
| 265 | * JoggersFindDeath: The vast majority of Eddie's most recent murders are joggers, which pops up on the in-game news often. |
| 266 | * KarmicDeath: At the hands of Niko. Bonus points if you choose to get him gunned down by a cop. |
| 267 | * KarmaHoudini: Only if you take his knife from him and then let him run away. You'll even get a message saying "Eddie Low is still out there, waiting...". Luckily this counts as 'failing' the encounter so you get to try again. |
| 268 | * ALoveToDismember: Eddie has a... relationship with his mother's severed breasts. He keeps them in a shoebox! |
| 269 | * MuggingTheMonster: Trying to kill Niko didn't end well for him, to say the least... |
| 270 | ** To wit, even if Niko ''doesn't'' directly kill him and instead the player lures him towards a nearby cop, rather than go through the usual arresting procedure, the cop [[NoKillLikeOverkill empties his clip into Low on sight]] like he ''knows'' he's dealing with an exceptional piece of work and [[DevelopersForesight to make sure he's dead no matter how Niko's second encounter with him goes.]] |
| 271 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He shares the same name as Edward "Ned" Low, the English pirate from The Golden Age Of Piracy. And for a reason: Ned Low was an ''absolute fucking psychopath'' too, who regularly tortured his victims before killing them. |
| 272 | * NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Eddie Low is partially based on David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz, New York City's most infamous serial killer during 1976-77. |
| 273 | ** His [[ExtremeOmnisexual extreme sexual deviancy]], debatable grip on reality, and willingness to harm children evoke Albert Fish, another New York-based serial killer. |
| 274 | * NoodleIncident: Eddie's dialogue is ''peppered'' with these, mostly related to the torture Eddie inflicted on his victims. |
| 275 | * NoSocialSkills: His attempts at conversing with Niko range from discussing disturbing topics like animals masturbating or hearing people's screams, understandably creeping Niko out. When Niko calls him out for asking if he likes to be spanked, Eddie completely loses it. |
| 276 | * OnlySaneMan: Eddie claims that his only problem is not accepting the world's "bullshit". He's way off on that one. |
| 277 | * PsychopathicManchild: Behaves like a toddler, while being a serial killer. |
| 278 | * RedBaron: Averted, as police in Liberty City are reported to have trouble coming up with a nickname for him. Considering this is the [[CrapsackWorld [=GTA=] universe]], they're of course [[PoliceAreUseless more focused on that than actually catching him.]] |
| 279 | * SelfMadeOrphan: He killed his dad for abusing him, but accidentally killed his mom by putting her head under sand. |
| 280 | * SerialKiller: Throughout the game we get to hear reports about new victims of the "Keep-fit killer" on the radio and on the internet. |
| 281 | * SlasherSmile: He's never seen without a creepy grin on his face. |
| 282 | * TheSocialDarwinist: He believes that people who practice footing are "Inferior filth" and have to be eliminated. |
| 283 | * TheSociopath: In the highest order possible. As you might expect from a violent SerialKiller, he has a need for stimulation, violent behavior, and a tendency to rationalize his behavior. |
| 284 | * StalkerWithACrush: Took a clerk saying the standard "have a nice day" to mean she liked him, followed her home and when she understandably freaked out about him wanting her to nurse him, killed her in anger and considered her a "whore." |
| 285 | * TalkativeLoon: A serial killer who's happy to share the intimate details of his handiwork, among other things... |
| 286 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Eddie sometimes slips into this. |
| 287 | * VillainousBreakdown: Though Eddie is by no means sane, he ''completely'' flips his shit when Niko says his way is not cool, gleefully ranting about two of his most brutal murders. Niko is utterly horrified. |
| 288 | --> “[[BerserkButton Not cool?]] You say Eddie's not cool? [[LonersAreFreaks I don't fit in with the in crowd?]] [[EvilGloating Well Mrs. Smith, Eddie's taken your star son, your prized little quarterback - and FUCKED him in the ass]] [[WouldHurtAChild and then tied him up, strangled him into knots!]] [[ColdBloodedTorture And your daughter, your pretty little daughter, Mrs. Abrahams...]] [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Eddie's ripped out her intestines]], [[ForTheEvulz just to see if he could feel anything.]] And you know what... [[LackOfEmpathy he couldn't... he couldn't...]]” |
| 289 | * VillainousCrossdresser: Apparently Eddie likes to wear his mother's (and other women's) old clothes and underwear. |
| 290 | * WouldHurtAChild: He has commented having molested children in his first random encounter. |

| 297 | |
| 298 | A paranoid man who hires Niko to stalk his wife. |
| 299 | ---- |
| 300 | * AxCrazy: It's clear from his first encounter with Niko that he is completely insane. |
| 301 | * CrazyJealousGuy: And ''how.'' |
| 302 | * HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler:Defied. After he killed his wife, in his final encounter with Niko, he says that he started to date another woman... and soon asks Niko to kill her, which he immediately refuses.]] |
| 303 | * {{Hypocrite}}: If Niko kills Jeff's wife in their first encounter (whether he sends a picture to Jeff or not), Jeff has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment as he believes he hired a psychopath who killed his wife. This is in spite the fact that if Niko just takes the picture as he is told to, [[spoiler:Jeff kills his wife himself]]. |
| 304 | * LookBothWays: [[spoiler:Gets unceremoniously run down by a car during his final encounter with Niko.]] |
| 305 | * NervousWreck: Besides the homicidal tendencies, his jealously also makes he very impulsive and nervous. |
| 306 | * TalkativeLoon: [[spoiler:After killing his wife, he acts unhinged and talks like a madman when Niko meets up with him]]. |
| 307 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: Mentions that he stabbed his wife over 50 times, and nearly shoots her corpse on top of that.]] |
| 308 | * WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler: Murders his wife because he believes she's cheating on him.]] |

| 317 | |
| 318 | -> For tropes relating to her appearance in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', see her entry in this [[Characters/GrandTheftAutoVCharactersFromGrandTheftAutoIV character sheet]]. |
| 319 | ---- |
| 320 | * BrokenBird: She came to Liberty City seeking fame as an actress, only to be duped into filming porn and contracting a heroin habit. |
| 321 | * DrugsAreBad: Her heroin habit forced her to take up prostitution and petty theft. |
| 322 | * HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She only became a prostitute to support her drug habit. Outside complaints about her withdrawal symptoms, she becomes quite friendly to Niko when she finds out he isn't interested in her services. |
| 323 | ** As evidenced by the thank-you email she sends Niko if [[PetTheDog he helps her]] leave Liberty City, she is otherwise quite intelligent, getting on the fast track to becoming a psychologist. |
| 324 | * StreetWalker: Her current profession. |

| 331 | A cocaine addict that Niko meets in Hove Beach. |
| 332 | ---- |
| 333 | * BreakTheHaughty: The first time he meets Niko he makes fun of his accent, then gives him $100 just to show off how rich he is. He's a lot more humble the second time they meet, when he's coming down hard from his high. |
| 334 | * DrugsAreBad: Despite graduating from Vespucci University with the GTA-verse equivalent of an Ivy League education, he let cocaine ruin his life, even working as a crack whore at one point. |
| 335 | * EpiphanyTherapy: He later joins a support group with a nine-step recovery program that encourages him to reach out to people he has wronged while high. Of course, the people he reaches out to [[ReformedButRejected aren't quite as friendly]], and try to kill him. |
| 336 | * NiceGuy: While he starts out as a dickish addict, rehab completely turns him around and he begins trying to repay everyone he ever harmed (which he admits is an expensive process). He even gets engaged in the interim. |
| 337 | * TropaholicsAnonymous: By the time of his final meeting with Niko, his support group has helped him kick his cocaine habit and get engaged. |
| 338 | * TheStoner: He is high off his mind the first two times Niko meets him. He seems to have kicked his habit during their last meeting. |

| 344 | |
| 345 | An amateur rapper selling self-published albums in Star Junction. |
| 346 | ---- |
| 347 | * CantTakeCriticism: He responds to his haters by sending Niko to kill them. To be fair, the haters [[KillingInSelfDefense shot at him first]] in a later instance. |
| 348 | * TheLastDJ: He self-publishes socially conscious songs because record labels "are just pimps." Later subverted; he treats a grievous gunshot wound from an angry heckler as a marketing opportunity. |
| 349 | * StreetMusician: Albeit one without an instrument. |
| 350 | * WideEyedIdealist: Thinks he can affect the music industry selling his work on street corners. When he is shot by hecklers, he giddily expects a ton of street cred, and plans to use it as inspiration for a new album. |

| 357 | One of Luis's past flings. She is now stalking him in an attempt to rekindle their relationship. |
| 358 | ---- |
| 359 | * DrivenToSuicide: Margot ends up committing suicide by jumping off a balcony. |
| 360 | * InsaneTrollLogic: If the bystanders weren't completely stupid, wouldn't having a suicide note next to an obvious fall death accusing someone of pushing them give away that Luis was being framed? |
| 361 | * NotGoodWithRejection: Her defining attribute. She threatens to [[SpurnedIntoSuicide kill herself]] during both of her "chance" encounters with Luis in an attempt to get the latter to go out with her again. |
| 362 | * PsychoExGirlfriend: She believes that she and Luis share a deep personal connection, despite Luis's reputation as [[ReallyGetsAround a womanizer]] (and the fact that they had one fling over a year ago) making this unlikely. Regardless, she tries to reconnect with Luis at the most inopportune moments and in the most [[StalkerWithACrush inappropriate ways]]. |
| 363 | * ShaggyDogStory: Luis manages to save her the first time she attempts suicide only for her to succeed on her second attempt. |
| 364 | * SpurnedIntoSuicide: During her first reunion with Luis, she reveals that she had just taken a potential overdose of [[SuicideByPills sleeping pills]] when Luis rejects her. Days after Luis manages to [[InterruptedSuicide get her stomach pumped]], he encounters her once more on a third story ledge, ready to leap to her death, should he reject her again. [[spoiler:She goes through with it and successfully kills herself.]] |
| 365 | * StalkerWithACrush: She continues to send Luis emails and gifts long after their fling ended, and routinely camps out for him at his usual haunts. |
| 366 | * SuicideByPills: Her first suicide attempt involves an overdose on sleeping pills. |
| 367 | * TakingYouWithMe: Before committing suicide she writes a letter blaming Luis for her death which causes bystanders to think that Margot did not kill herself but was killed by Luis. This causes the bystanders to gang up on Luis forcing him to either run away or kill them all. Not doing either will result in Luis being beaten to death. |
| 368 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Margot can end up being indirectly responsible for Luis killing several bystanders in self-defense. |
