 ==Biography==
 ===Early life===
-Jimmy Pegorino was born in 1957 in [[Alderney City]], Alderney. His father was the leader of the Pegorino Family, an Italian-American crime family that was highly disrespected by Italian-American crime families from [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. Not much else is known about Pegorino's early years, but it is presumed that he grew up to be a gangster just like his father and learned how to be a leader.
+Jimmy Pegorino was born in 1957 in [[Alderney City]], Alderney. His father was the leader of the Pegorino Family, an Italian-American crime family that was highly disrespected by Italian-American crime families from [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. Jimmy was first arrested for theft 3 times between the ages of 16 and 19; His father presumably showed him tough love by putting him at risk and making him earn his money in the family.
 ===Taking control over the family===
-Eventually, Jimmy took control over the Pegorino Family and took it to a new level. He wanted to join [[The Commission]], the Liberty City based Italian-American crime families and therefore tried to increase the family's power and influence. He learned that a leader shouldn't care about the people he'd hire until they'd start to show that they are worth more than the rest, which [[Phil Bell]] and [[Ray Boccino]] did. While increasing the Family's foothold, he also tried to get in favor with the Commission by allowing the [[Pavano Family]] to operate in Alderney.
+Eventually, Jimmy took control over the Pegorino Family and took it to a new level. He desperately wanted to join [[The Commission]], although his family was still weak and no family had ever been given a new seat since the original five families founded it. He sought to impress them by improving his own family, allowing the [[Pavano Family]] to operate in Alderney and anonymously weakening the [[Ancelotti Family]] (hoping none of the five would realize it was him and distrust him). He learned that a leader shouldn't place value on his employees until they either impress him (like [[Phil Bell]]) or, ironically, become a threat to him because of their over-ambition (like [[Ray Boccino]]).
 ===Later life===
-In 2008, Pegorino was introduced to [[Niko Bellic]], an immigrant hitman, by Phil. Niko, who had proven himself to be a good earner to Phil and Ray, was hired by Pegorino to help him with certain things.<br />
+In 2008, Phil recommended hitman [[Niko Bellic]]'s services to Pegorino. During Niko's [[Pegorino's Pride|first job]] with Pegorino, the Pavanos betrayed Pegorino, Niko successfully rescued Pegorino and reclaimed his stolen peace offering. Niko was later told to attack their [[Auto Eroticar]] dealership.
-Pegorino first tasked Niko to [[Pegorino's Pride|accompany him on a meeting]] with the Pavano Family. Pegorino was suspicious of the Pavanos, and asked Bellic to watch over the meeting with a sniper rifle. A group of Pavanos attempted to murder Pegorino, but succeed only in killing his bodyguards, [[Peter Marchetti]] and [[Marco Bonnaro]]. Bellic eventually escaped with Pegorino, killing many of the Pavanos in the process. In retaliation, Pegorino ordered Bellic to attack a group of Pavanos at the [[Auto Eroticar]] dealership. Later, Pegorino found out that his bodyguard, [[Anthony Corrado]], had become a police informant. Pegorino called Corrado, who suffered a heart attack while talking to him on the phone. An increasingly paranoid Pegorino then held an arriving Niko Bellic at gunpoint, [[Flatline|ordering Bellic to murder Corrado]] at the hospital, a task which he successfully fulfilled.
-Pegorino then found out that there is another "rat" in his organization. Believing that Ray Boccino may be the culprit, he ordered Bellic [[Pest Control|to murder him]].
+Very soon after, the police began thoroughly investigating his "businesses", leading Pegorino to believe that several of his employees had become police informants. Pegorino initially suspected Niko and aimed a shotgun at him, but was convinced otherwise and then ordered him to [[Flatline|kill]] [[Anthony Corrado]]. Corrado, who was confirmed to have worn a wire, suffered a heart attack after Pegorino threatened him over the phone, but survived and received police protection in the hospital until Niko eliminated him. Believing several other members had turned states, Pegorino ordered Niko to [[Pest Control|kill]] Ray Boccino (Pegorino briefly considered killing Phil instead, but had more trust in him).
 ====Ending of Game====
-Pegorino plays a very critical role in the final four missions of Grand Theft Auto IV. Later after Boccino's execution, [[One Last Thing|Pegorino orders Bellic]] to take part and be the representative in a heroin deal with Niko's nemesis, [[Dimitri Rascalov]]. Niko, who hated Rascalov figured that he and Roman would be rich with the money they'd get from the deal. Now, the player chooses whether he should work with him or not. Though whether he does or doesn't do the Deal, Pegorino betrays/is betrayed by Niko in the game.
+In the game's finale, [[One Last Thing|Pegorino orders Bellic]] to take part in a heroin deal with Niko's nemesis, [[Dimitri Rascalov]]. Niko was obsessed with taking revenge on Dimitri and rightfully did not trust him, but was promised a great deal of money. Niko is unsure whether to comply and be paid or take his revenge, and his final decision is left to the player.
+Pegorino allies himself with Dimitri in either case, and Phil Bell leaves the family to live a safe life in a small town. He attempts to have Niko killed at [[Mr and Mrs Bellic|his cousin's wedding]] even if he loyally follows orders, and a close friend of Niko's is accidentally killed (which differs in either scenario). Pegorino is eventually shot and killed.
-*If Niko chose to take part in the Deal with Rascalov, he, after [[If the Price is Right|betraying Niko again]], sends an assassin to Roman Bellic and Mallorie Bardas' [[Mr and Mrs Bellic|wedding]] to kill Niko. The assassin missed his target, died, and ended up killing Roman. Pegorino and Dimitri (who have since became allies) were [[A Revenger's Tragedy|tracked by Niko and his friend]] [[Little Jacob]] then followed two of Pegorino's men towards Pegorino and Rascalov's hideout. When Niko found the two inside the Old Casino in northern Alderney, Rascalov held Pegorino at gunpoint and killed him, saying that he "didn't work this hard to share the spoils of a victory". Rascalov was then executed by Niko Bellic on [[Happiness Island]] later.
+*If Niko accepts the deal, he is [[If the Price is Right|betrayed by Dimitri]] as expected. A hired assassin targeting Niko accidentally kills [[Roman Bellic]] at the wedding. Niko [[A Revenger's Tragedy|tracked down the duo]] with help from [[Little Jacob]], right before Dimitri betrayed and killed Pegorino, saying he "didn't work this hard to share the spoils of a victory". Dimitri was chased down and killed by Niko on [[Happiness Island]] soon after.
-*If Niko refused to take part in the deal and exact Revenge, he arrived at the docks in Broker and [[A Dish Served Cold|murdered Rascalov]]. In retaliation for not working with him, Pegorino attempted to murder Bellic at Roman Bellic and Mallorie Bardas' [[Mr and Mrs Bellic|wedding]], but instead shot Bellic's love interest, [[Kate McReary]], in the stomach, resulting in her death. Niko later found out his location by [[Out of Commission|following two of his men with Roman and Little Jacob and pursued Pegorino]] to Happiness Island. After chasing and shooting him down, Niko told him that the Commission thought he was a "fat fucking joke". Jimmy then raises his gun for one final chance to kill Niko, but is then shot in his head and finally killed.
+*If Niko [[A Dish Served Cold|rebels and kills Dimitri]], Pegorino's organization takes a serious blow. He personally attempts to kill Niko at the wedding, and accidentally kills [[Kate McReary]]. Niko [[Out of Commission|tracked down and killed Pegorino]] with help from Roman and Little Jacob. After chasing and shooting him down, Niko told him that the Commission thought he was a "fat fucking joke". Jimmy then raises his gun for one final chance to kill Niko, but is then shot in his head and finally killed.
