'''Ray Bulgarin''' (Russian: Родислав Булгарин) (1958 - [[2008]]) was a 50-year old Russian mobster in both [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and (with a bigger role) [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. He was an extremely wealthy, powerful Russian crime lord operating across the Adriatic Sea (either Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro or Albania) and [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] until he was deported. He returns to seek revenge on [[Niko Bellic]] and others involved in the loss of his diamonds.

He immigrated to [[Liberty City]] as early as 1976. He began his life as an international criminal by 1989, at age 31 when he was arrested for receiving an entire ship full of Albanian sex slaves. Sometime after, he continued human trafficking across the Adriatic sea, where he also lived in a large mansion on the waterfront (either on the west side in Italy, or more likely the east side in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_peninsula Balkans] region where he would have recruited Niko).

He employed [[Niko Bellic]] as early as 1998, who smuggled people into Italy from Eastern Europe, until one run in which the ship sank, and Niko was been forced to abandon ship. Bulgarin blamed Niko for this loss, and sought to hunt him down; Niko joined the merchant navy to escape Bulgarin's influence within Europe, and eventually escaped to Liberty City.
