Reni Wassulmaier is a transsexual avant-garde film director from Germany (circa 1984) in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and a DJ for Flashback FM circa 1998 in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. In her appearances in both games, Reni is voiced by Barbara Rosenblatt.

Description

Life until 1984

Reni was born a woman, presumably in Germany. Prior to 1984, she had her first sex change to become a man, later being converted back to a woman, then a man again. Surgical sex changes date back to Berlin, Germany as early as 1930, though Reni is much younger. In Europe, she became famous for shooting avant-garde art films which included child torture in a Berlin pizza parlor and a rhinoceros making love to a neon sign[1]. On Flashback FM, she also mentions having been a prostitute (while female).

1984

Reni eventually moved his (at the time) entire production company to Vice City, where he produced commercials and "edgy" pop music videos[2]. Frankie served as his assistant throughout much of his appearances. His associates included Ricardo Diaz, Diego Mendez, Victor Vance (all major drug dealers, Diego having had a secret gay relationship with him), Barry Mickelthwaite (manager of Phil Collins who slept with Reni in Venice, Italy while drunk) and Spitz (a small-time director who also bought kilos of cocaine at a time)

Eventually his life was threatened by Diego and Armando Mendez, who were at war with Vic Vance. Vic protected him until he received his fourth sex change[3] (into a woman) and returned to Europe to be a porn star[4].

1998

For most of the 80s and 90s, Reni had a promising career in adult film. In 1998, she became the DJ for Flashback FM in Liberty City, where she talked extensively about her own sexual experiences. Non-chronologically, this was her first appearance in the Grand Theft Auto universe, on which the rest of her character was built around.

Trivia

  • After her fourth sex change, Reni becomes a woman again. Reni had to be born a woman, became a man, went back to being a woman, went back to being a man, before becoming a woman again in 1984.
