Rudy D'Avanzo is character in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. He is a 55 year-old mafia gang member who aids Huang Lee in identifying the 'rat'. In realizing Huang's capabilities, he takes advantage of Huang's desperation to find the traitor, to deal with 'trouble' with Jimmy Capra. He is assassinated by Huang when he finds out he has been lied to about the rat's identity.

It is revealed in the mission A Rude Awakening that Rudy is a cross-dresser. He grows angry when Huang stares at him, claiming that he gave him the same judgmental look as his father. Rudy flees the building with Huang in hot pursuit. Huang eventually tracks him down and kills him.

According to the Liberty City Police Database in GTA IV, Rudy developed a hatred towards the Triads after his father was killed in a fish factory explosion - suspected to have been caused by the Triads. He is also seen loitering around the back of lingerie boutiques, possibly to satisfy his fetish for lady's undergarments and cross-dressing.

He has an extensive criminal record having been arrested a total of eight times. In 1972 he was arrested for pandering, in 1976 and 1983 for grand theft auto, 1993 for racketeering and manslaughter, 2001 for hijacking and arson and for fraud in 2003.

It appears that he is affiliated with the Messina Family because of his troubles with former friend Jimmy Capra and the fact that he's looking for a rat within his organisation. It is possible that this rat is in fact Fredo Volpe a known informant within the Messina Family.
