Mysterious Disappearance
 |
Part of this article are based on realistic Speculation and might not turn out to be correct. |
Following the story line's completion, the police database lists Bulgarin as dead, although no details are given. If one were to take a visit to a local Tw@ computer cafe and observe the criminal database, Bulgarin is listed as "Deceased" even before being encountered by Niko in the "Russian Revolution" mission. He possibly faked his own death to evade higher authorities and Interpol after his smuggling operation went awry.
Another plausible scenario is that Bulgarin may have been killed by Luis Fernando Lopez, the protagonist in the second downloadable episode of GTA IV, The Ballad of Gay Tony. One variable that supports this is that Bulgarin's final appearance in GTA IV was also coincidentally Luis's final appearance. In his last appearance he states that the faggot and his Dominican Bitch stole his diamonds from him in the first place. After Bulgarin ordered his men to attack Niko and Packie, he made his escape, not to mention that Luis, Gay Tony and a recently kidnapped and returned Gracie Ancelotti mysteriously vanished from the scene as well. It is quite possible that Bulgarin later hunted down Luis and Gay Tony, only to be killed by Luis.
There is some confusion as to his nationality; he may be Bulgarian, as Bulgarin means "native of Bulgaria" in various languages and an artwork released with the game that shows a man that looks a lot like Bulgarin holding a molotov cocktail is labeled as 'Bulgarian Molotov' on the Rockstar Social Club website. Niko, however, seems to allude to him being a Russian at several points in the story.
