Heroin

The heroin is a part of Grand Theft Auto IV's storyline including The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Like the diamonds, it also has a large part of the game that involves the protagonists Niko, Johnny and Luis. Below are scenarios that takes place involving different people that gain possession of the heroin and the heroin itself.

Description

The heroin was first imported into Liberty City by the Triads on the same ship Niko arrived on, the Platypus.Then the Angels of Death stole their heroin and it was in their hands until Johnny and the Lost came to the AOD clubhouse and destroyed the clubhouse and stole the heroin. The Lost, along with Elizabeta Torres try to offload the heroin but the deal is a LCPD setup and Johhny escapes with the heroin. Then the Lost try to again make a deal to offload the heroin to the Triads who had it in the first place but the Triads took the heroin from the Lost without making a deal. After that the heroin is not heard of until the mission Truck Hustle where the Triads are going to ship the heroin when Niko Bellic hijacks the truck carrying it and takes it to a lock up in Alderney. Then later Phil Bell, Frankie, and Niko try to move the heroin but the FIB finds them but the trio evade the police. Finally the last appearance of the heroin is in the finale of the main game. From there it takes two paths depending on which the player chooses. The player has to decide between working with Dimitri and doing a deal to sell the heroin or to kill him on the boat that has the heroin.

Paths

Path One is the Revenge path. By the looks of it Dimitri may have already killed the buyers and is loading it on the Platypus (as he says "Load this heroin we're shipping it tonight.")

Path Two is the Deal path. In this mission Niko and Phil Bell go to make the deal for the heroin but Dimitri calls and says that he has killed the buyers representatives and that he will keep the heroin. Now Niko and Phil are trapped in the buyers compound and must fight their way out of the warehouse where the deal was supposed to happen and get the payment to complete the mission

Either ending, after Dimitri is killed, Ray Bulgarin and Timur take the heroin and plan to sell it. This is where Luis Lopez detroys the heroin.

Consequences

Niko Bellic

After the Triads took back their Heroin, because of the police attention, they think it's cursed. So Niko under orders from Phil Bell steals the heroin and hides it in a abandones house. When Niko and Phil went to go pick up the heroin, theFIB attempt to bust them, proving that the heroin is being watched, therefore cursed. After they escaped the FIB, the Pegorinos ally with the Russians and try to sell it to another Mafia Family. But Dimitri kills the buyers and steals the heroin for himself in either ending.

Johnny Klebitz

The heroin they steal from the Angels of Death Clubhouse actually has huge consequences that last to the end of the game. First off, when Johnny, Playboy X and Niko try to sell it to UC, the NOOSE ambush them. After that a man named Agent Jones calls Johnny and everyone in the club to give information about the club. This must of been where Billy agrees, tell the Triad Boss to rip off Johnny and Jim in That Shit's Cursed, gets himself arrested and told Brian to frame Johnny. This is were Brian gathers alot of Lost bikers and The Lost start to implode. The civil war gets many many bikers killed and not many are in the club. And eventually leads to Billy ratting out The Lost.

Luis Lopez

Luis isn't really involved with the heroin, but after Dimitri is killed, Ray Bulgarin and Timur plan to sell it. This is where Luis destroys the 'cursed' heroin.
