James "Jimmy" Pegorino was the 52-year old boss of the Alderney/Pegorino crime family. In the Deal storyline, Dimitri Rascalov murders Pegorino in the mission "A Revenger's Tragedy". In the Revenge storyline, Niko Bellic murders Pegorino in the mission "Out of Commission".

Jimmy Pegorino is voiced by Tony Patellis.

Missions

Pegorino first asks Bellic to accompany him on a meeting with the Pavano crime family. Pegorino still remains suspicious of the Pavano crime family and asks Bellic to watch over the meeting with a sniper rifle. A group of Pavanos attempt to murder Pegorino, but instead murder "Big" Pete and Marco, two members of the Pegorino crime family who also accompanied him. Bellic eventually murders the group and escapes with Pegorino. In retaliation, Pegorino orders Bellic to attack a group of Pavanos at the Auto Eroticar dealership.

Meanwhile, Pegorino finds out that his bodyguard, Anthony Corrado, has become an informant. Pegorino calls Corrado, who suffers a heart attack while talking to Pegorino on the phone. A stressed Pegorino then holds an arriving Niko Bellic at gunpoint, ordering Bellic to murder Corrado at the hospital Corrado's being treated at.

Later in the storyline, Pegorino finds out that there is another "rat" in his organization. He decides to send a mesaage to the organization, ordering Bellic to murder one of his captains, Ray Boccino. Pegorino then asks Bellic to take part in a heroin deal with his old nemesis, Dimitri Rascalov. Pegorino's role in the ending of the storyline is dependent upon Bellic's choice:

• If Bellic chooses to take part in the heroin deal with Rascalov, Rascalov eventually betrays Pegorino, much as he betrayed Bellic and Mikhail Faustin, and steals the heroin. Inside the abandoned casino, Rascalov shoots Pegorino point blank, as soon as Bellic arrives to murder the pair in revenge of the murder of Bellic's cousin, Roman Bellic.

• If Bellic refuses to take part in the deal, he arrives at the docks in Broker and murders Rascalov. In retaliation, Pegorino attempts to murder Bellic, but instead shoots Bellic's girlfriend, Kate McReary, in the stomach at Roman Bellic and Mallorie Bardas's wedding. Niko finds Pegorino and murders him underneath the Statue of Happiness.
