'''Dwayne Forge''' (born 1973) is a character in the GTA IV era. Dwayne Forge is an old school African-American gangster, recently released from prison after a lengthy stint for possession with intent to distribute (according to [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|the LCPD]] [[LCPD Database|criminal database]]). Dwayne grew up in a violent household presumbably the housing projects in northwood or east holland , his father being an illiterate, violent pimp who regularly beat his mother; Dwayne says that he "felt nothing" when he learned his father had been murdered. He would go on to run a crack cocaine empire in [[Bohan]] and [[Algonquin]] with the [[North Holland Hustlers]] gang, perhaps the largest operation of its type in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. Dwayne claims that at one point he had "entire apartments" full of money. It is assumed that he was arrested in the early-to-mid 1990's. He mentions being in jail for 15 years, and having recently got out, which would put his date of incarceration in 1993.

Since his incarceration, the world he knew has changed completely. His empire has been usurped by his former protege [[Playboy X]], who now puts him off on one excuse or another, no longer having any interest in running with him. Forge's girlfriend, [[Cherise Glover]], has also left him for [[Jayvon Simson|a former police informant]], and the [[Triangle Club]] that Dwayne used to run has been taken over by [[Trunchez Brothers|Latino gangsters]]. Forge, who already spent much of his prison time on suicide watch, sinks further into depression, contemplating suicide; nonetheless, he tells Niko, he "ain't there yet". Playboy X eventually pays [[Niko Bellic]] to appease Dwayne by working for him, but Niko genuinely connects with the man as both have been through a lot and have developed a distaste for others.

Niko helps him slowly put his life back together, by settling old grudges and reclaiming the Triangle Club. However, Dwayne also begins to talk trash about Playboy, and Dwayne's reacquisition of the Triangle Club conflicts with Playboy's business interests. Niko is subsequently hired by both men to assassinate one another -- in the mission [[The Holland Play]]). Niko must choose whether to kill Forge or Playboy X.
