Vladimir Glebov: Difference between revisions

Vlad is prominently a 41-year old Russian loan shark operating in [[Hove Beach]], [[Broker]]. Feudalistic in his mannerism, he tends to group people into social classes and treat lowly people as "[[wp:Serfdom|serfs]]", who are obligated to do his bidding; although he is a selfish hypocrite. Vlad prefers to call [[Niko Bellic]] a "[[wp:Yokel|yokel]]" or "[[Roman Bellic|Fatty Roman's]] Cousin" instead of his actual name, but fails to successfully dominate Niko due to Niko's witty defiance, with he and Roman calling him "Vladdy" or "Vladdy Boy" back. Glebov owns a Russian bar called [[Comrades Bar|Comrades]] in the neighborhood, and drives a sky blue [[Marbelle]], as seen in the cut-scene for [[Clean Getaway]] and the chase sequence in [[Uncle Vlad]]. It is implied that Vlad is a heavy drinker, abuses cocaine, and is a [[wp:womanizer|womanizer]].

Glebov also attempts to increase his status with the other Russian gangsters like [[Mikhail Faustin]] by doing collections for them. He also employs Niko, initially to help enforce his protection racket but also for low-level assassinations, including that of [[Ivan Bytchkov]]. He also threatens Roman constantly and regularly fails to protect him from the [[Albanians|Albanian Mafia]], despite promises to the contrary. Early during his appearance, Glebov is been depicted attempting to coax [[Mallorie Bardas]] to abandon Roman in favor of him, with very limited success.
