'''Avery Carrington''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] who appears as a major character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and a minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. A billboard of Avery Carrington also appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and he is mentioned on the [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] [http://www.rockstargames.com/vicecitystories website]. Carrington is an extreme capitalist property magnate and real estate mogul based in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. He is voiced by [[Burt Reynolds]] in GTA Vice City.

Avery Carrington was born and raised in Texas and later moved to [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], becoming, at some point, a successful property magnate and real estate mogul to his willingness to use any tactic (including gang warfare, arson, intimidation, murder and demolishing opponents buildings). Avery is heavily influenced by his father and takes on a protégé, [[Donald Love]], passing on his knowledge, which Love would later [[Waka-Gashira Wipeout!|use]] to his own [[Panlantic Land Grab|advantage]].

In [[1986]] he is financing the [[Avery's Construction Site|construction of a building]] in [[Vice Point]] and is one of Vice City's social elite, attending Colonel [[Juan Cortez|Juan Cortez']] [[The Party|party]]. Carrington, however, faces problems from the [[Spand Express]] company, who refuse to sell their land, and another further advanced construction site opposite his own. [[Ken Rosenberg]], a [[K. Rosenberg & Co.|lawyer]] introduces Carrington to [[Tommy Vercetti]], who helps to Spand Express by causing a [[Riot (GTA VC)|riot]] and destroying three Spand Express vans. Carrington, impressed with Vercetti's ability, later hires him to [[Four Iron|murder]] [[Avery Carrington's Rival|a man who refuses to sell some land to Carrington]] and to [[Demolition Man|structurally weaken]] the construction site located opposite his own. Carrington continues with his business before asking Vercetti for help again, this time having him [[Two Bit Hit|spark a gang war]] between the [[Cubans]] and the [[Haitians]] in order to drive down property prices, and later gives Vercetti [[Shakedown (GTA VC)|advice]] in how to build his criminal empire in the city following the [[Rub Out|death]] of drug baron [[Ricardo Diaz]].

Avery Carrington continued to expand his business, appearing on a neon sign in [[Las Venturas]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] in [[1992]]. He continues in his work and in [[1998]] he flies to [[Francis International Airport in GTA III Era|Francis International Airport]] to meet with the [[Colombian Cartel]] to discuss plans to develop the [[Fort Staunton]] area of [[Staunton Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. Carrington's old protégé, [[Donald Love]], hears of his impending return and hires [[Toni Cipriani]] to [[Panlantic Land Grab|kill]] Carrington to acquire his real estate plans, as the [[Panlantic Construction Company|Panlantic Corporation]] who do 'anything to get prime real estate'. Toni Cipriani later [[Morgue Party Resurrection|steals]] Carrington's body for Love, who eats the body on his [[Love on the Run|flight away]] from Liberty City.

'''Avery Carrington''': Hey Tommy, it's Avery! Now listen, I got me all tied up at the moment and I have a representative of mine needs chaperoning out to the Gator Keys. I'm after some land out that way, so I'm sending someone out to sweeten the deal. Could you do me a favor and make sure he gets there ok?<br>

'''Tommy Vercetti''': Yeah, sure thing Avery. Where'd you want me to pick him up?<br>

'''Avery Carrington''': He's just finishing some business at the building site. I said you'd pick him up from there.<br>

'''Tommy Vercetti''': No problem. See you later, Avery.</ref>
