'''Jeff''', or '''Jeff the Cuckold (?-2008)''' in the credits, is a [[Random Characters|random character]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] encountered in northern [[Algonquin]], near [[North Holland]]. [[Niko Bellic]] encounters the erratically-behaving man standing across the street from his apartment, ranting and raving about how he suspects his wife of infidelity. Jeff asks Niko to follow his wife and her male friend and to take pictures of them so he can confirm her treachery. Niko does so, but in the course of which overhears his exasperated wife complaining about how her husband doesn't trust her to have purely platonic male friends, and so Niko mentions to the increasingly erratic Jeff that he doesn't think the picture necessarily proves her guilt.

Sometime later, Jeff calls Niko to meet him in an underground parking lot. As it turns out, Niko's attempts to calm him have failed, and the insane man has brutally murdered his wife in a jealous rage, and wants her body and his car dumped in the [[Humboldt River]]. The angry and exasperated Niko's task is made all the more difficult by the fact Jeff's wife's bloody body is clearly seen in the car, leading to the police chasing him as he makes his way to [[Northwood]].

When Niko next encounters Jeff, he has (amazingly) remarried, but history repeats itself as he believes his new wife is cheating on him and asks Niko to kill her. Niko refuses to do so, telling Jeff to calm down, which only manages to anger the man more. He runs across the road to confront his wife, only to be struck by a car and killed. The british-accented driver of the vehicle exits the car, examines Jeff's body and calls the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] to report that he has "run some chap over". The police tells him to hold, but the man jumps back into his vehicle and flees the crime scene.

Jeff is married to a woman named [[Shirley]], has one son with her and is extremely paranoid that she is cheating on him.

Shirley became distressed by his paranoid behavior, such as sending her underwear to a laboratory and demanding she get a tracking device in her head. She then turned to another one of Jeff's wealthy friends for emotional support, and although he was secretly interested in having an affair with her, Shirley was only going to him for platonic friendship and was very naive to his obvious attraction cues.

Niko successfully sends him a cell phone picture and, seeing they were platonic friends, consoled Jeff that it wasn't necessarily proof of her cheating on him.  
===Jeff's wife===
Jeff's long-suffering wife and mother of his children thought he was a nice guy with a Black credit card, but didn't know he would eventually turn into the suspicious, jealous and controlling monster that he would eventually become, doing things such as hiding all of her underwear and trying to install a tracking device onto her. She turns to one of Jeff's friends for emotional support, not realising that the man was only interested in having sex with her. Sadly, Jeff murders her in a jealous rage, stabbing her fifty times with a kitchen knife, though he maintains she had an "accident".


===Jeff's friend===
Ten game days later, Jeff calls Niko to request his services and meet him in an underground parking complex. (Receiving this call launches the mission, regardless what Niko is doing at the time). Despite Niko's advice, Jeff had violently stabbed his wife 50 times with a kitchen knife and hid her body in a [[Blista Compact]], now asking Niko to dump the car in the [[Humboldt River]]. Niko has to drive to the dump site without police spotting the dead body in the back. ('''''Note:''''' '''10 days do not always pass between completion of the first mission and receiving the phone call.''')
Jeff's friend pretends to provide his wife with platonic emotional support, but is really only interested in having an affair with her.
 
Later in the game, Niko encounters Jeff again near a [[Little Italy]] restaurant. He has remarried in a remarkably short amount of time, and believes his new wife is cheating on him as well.

After lamenting that he needs a friend, he runs out into the street and is run over by a [[Turismo]].

Jeff or Jeff the Cuckold in the credits, is a character in the HD Universe and a random character in Grand Theft Auto IV encountered in northern Algonquin, near North Holland. He was voiced by Harry Chase.

Description

Jeff is married to a woman named Shirley, has one son with her and is extremely paranoid that she is cheating on him. Jeff reveals in the final mission that his mom left his dad, which probably traumatized him into his current state. Despite having obvious mental problems and shabby clothes, he is an extremely wealthy businessman with a black credit card. Shirley became distressed by his paranoid behavior, such as sending her underwear to a laboratory and demanding she get a tracking device in her head. She then turned to another one of Jeff's wealthy friends for emotional support, and although he was secretly interested in having an affair with her, Shirley was only going to him for platonic friendship and was very naive to his obvious attraction cues.

Jeff discovers this and stalks them to his friend's apartment near Middle Park East, when he randomly encounters Niko Bellic. He pays Niko to take reconnaissance photos of his wife and friend (driving in the friend's Feltzer to the Superstar Café). Niko successfully sends him a cell phone picture and, seeing they were platonic friends, consoled Jeff that it wasn't necessarily proof of her cheating on him.

Ten game days later, Jeff calls Niko to request his services and meet him in an underground parking complex. (Receiving this call launches the mission, regardless what Niko is doing at the time). Despite Niko's advice, Jeff had violently stabbed his wife 50 times with a kitchen knife and hid her body in a Blista Compact, now asking Niko to dump the car in the Humboldt River. Niko has to drive to the dump site without police spotting the dead body in the back. (Note: 10 days do not always pass between completion of the first mission and receiving the phone call.)

Later in the game, Niko encounters Jeff again near a Little Italy restaurant. He has remarried in a remarkably short amount of time, and believes his new wife is cheating on him as well. He stalked her to the restaurant, where she was having a drink with her ex, and when Niko encounters him, Jeff requests that Niko kill her as well, which he refuses to do. After lamenting that he needs a friend, he runs out into the street and is run over by a Turismo. The driver, a stereotypical posh English man, gets out and calls the cops police to get help, before jumping into his car and racing away (unless Niko has stolen the car).

The last encounter with Jeff requires minimal interaction by Niko or the player - simply a cutscene to be viewed. There are two possible rewards: Jeff will drop several hundred dollars when he is killed, and if Niko is fast enough, it's possible to steal the Turismo. As noted below, while it is possible to change elements of the final encounter, it is not possible to prevent Jeff from being killed in some way. The "mission" ends a few moments after the hit-and-run driver pulls away, or Niko carjacks the Turismo.
