Ivan Ped for GTA IV

Ivan Bytchkov is a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto IV and a cameo character in The Lost and Damned. Based on the player's actions, Ivan can also be a random character. Ivan is a member of the Faustin Bratva led by Mikhail Faustin, and a personal henchman of Vladimir Glebov. Within the crime syndicate, Ivan works both as an enforcer and as a burglar. Ivan Bytchkov was born in Russia, circa 1966. He emigrated to the United States of America in the early-1990s. He settled down in Hove Beach, a neighborhood mostly populated with Eastern European immigrants like himself.

By the early-2000s, Ivan was already involved with Mikhail Faustin's Russian Mafia, where he formed a close friendship with the loan shark Vladimir Glebov. He was arrested twice, once in 2000 for embezzlement, and again in 2004 for burglary.

After being saved by Niko, Ivan cuts ties with the Russian Mafia and decides to move to Alderney, where he starts a money lending business, mainly operating within and around Acter. By the time he encounters Niko Bellic for the second time, Ivan has heard about Vlad's disappearance, unaware that the man who wanted him dead was murdered by Niko.

Ivan meets up with Niko again sometime after the opening of the Alderney-Algonquin bridge, on Mueri Street. He holds no grudge against Niko for trying to kill him, being more grateful for Niko sparing his life. The two exchange words regarding their latest activities, where Ivan reveals his new profession as well as the fact that he has met, and is now engaged to an American woman. Afterwards, Ivan asks Niko to come with him to collect money from several Hustlers.

Ivan and Niko meet up with the hustlers near the Lost MC Clubhouse, there, the hustlers decide they're not going to repay their debts, revealing an ambush set up for Ivan. Despite being outnumbered, Niko and Ivan are able to kill the hustlers and collect Ivan's money. Ivan, once again grateful, awards Niko with a share of the money.

Description

Ivan was a character I didn't much think about after playing GTA IV as he didn't really stand out to me, but his character actually did play a good role on showing Niko exactly how Vlad was. A backstabbing, lying, and disgusting man who didn't care what happens to others if it meant he could get power in some way or have some control over someone else like Niko.

Ivan also was the first person you could choose to spare or kill and I'm sure most chose to spare him. He has facial animations and is fully voiced. Let me know if you run into any issues! Ivan now joins your world in GTA V!
