'''Raymond Boccino''' is a character introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], also appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned]].

Ray Boccino was born in [[Westdyke]], [[Alderney]], and is the thirty-two year old [[Caporegime|capo]] of Alderney's [[Pegorino Family]]. Boccino is often seen outside Pegorino territory, at [[Drusilla's]], a restaurant in [[Algonquin]]. He conducts the Pegorino Family's relations with smaller gangs, such as the [[McReary Mob]], on behalf of Don [[Jimmy Pegorino]], but is also involved in activities outside the Pegorino Family, leading the Don to distrust him. Boccino also has an uneasy relationship with Pegorino Family associate [[Phil Bell]].

Ray Boccino is introduced to [[Niko Bellic]] by [[Patrick McReary]]; he first [[A Long Way to Fall|employs Niko to kill a former friend]], [[Teddy Benavidez]]. He later [[Taking in the Trash|has Niko collect diamonds]] alongside Pegorino Family associates [[Joseph DiLeo]], [[Johnny Barbosa]] and [[Luca Silvestri]], however these three steal the diamonds for themselves. Boccino then [[Meltdown|hires Niko to retrieve the diamonds]], but is apparently dismayed when Niko kills Joseph, Johnny and Luca in the course of the retrieval.

Boccino then has Niko and the acting leader of [[The Lost Brotherhood]], [[Johnny Klebitz]], attempt to sell the diamonds to [[Isaac Roth]] and [[Mori Green]] of the [[Jewish Mob]] for several million dollars. The deal, however, is ambushed by the [[Ancelotti Family]], and Klebitz steals the money for the Lost. Boccino, in retaliation, kidnaps Lost member [[Jim Fitzgerald]], and has him tortured; Fitzgerald escapes with the aid of Johnny, killing one of Boccino's men in the process. Seeking revenge, Ray [[No Way on the Subway|sends Niko to kill some members of The Lost Brotherhood]] (including Fitzgerald), and sends several squads of hitmen after Johnny. Johnny survives, and considers attacking Boccino, but is told to back down by [[Thomas Stubbs III]], who tells him that Boccino and the Pegorinos were being watched, and that all would be either arrested or killed within a month.

Boccino [[Weekend at Florian's|helps Niko find]] [[Bernie Crane|Florian Cravic]]. Meanwhile, Isaac Roth, blaming the failed diamond deal on Boccino, threatens to kill him, so Boccino then [[Late Checkout|sends Niko to kill Roth]] at the [[Majestic Hotel]]. Afterwards, Boccino sets up an apartment for Niko in [[Alderney City]], wanting to keep Niko close by. As the Pegorino Family's affairs are put further into turmoil and the police draw closer, Jimmy Pegorino decides it is necessary to send a message to any possible rats in his organization; he [[Pest Control|has Niko kill Boccino]] while he and his bodyguards are driving to a chop shop in [[BOABO]].

*Should the driver of his car be killed in [[Pest Control]], Ray will get out and begin firing at Niko with a Combat Shotgun. He has no preset [[execution]].
