''Killed in: [[Departure Time]]''

<br />Timur is Ray Bulgarin's right hand man. When Luis begins working for Ray, Timur accompanies Luis with Ray on his first job and as a chopper pilot when he is tasked with raiding the MeTV building. In the last mission, Luis heads to Funland where Bulgarin's men were supervising a heroin shipment. He destroyed the heroin and killed the men, but soon after, Timur and more backup arrive, telling Luis that Bulgarin was at the airport ready to leave in his Blue Ghawar jet. Timur is killed and Luis makes his way to the airport. Timur was a very quiet character and one of his first remarks as a threat to Luis saying "you want I should stick $50,000 guitar up your ass?" He is also a very good guitarist, stating that it helps him relax. He and Luis seem to dislike each other as Timur calls him weak and suggests that now he is working for Bulgarin, he should kill Gay Tony, calling him his "fag master", which causes Luis to threaten Timur to stay away from Tony. Also, before being killed in Funland, he reveals that he was trying to turn Bulgarin against Luis, telling him he was too weak.
