Andrei

Background

Andrei was a minor Russian gangster working for Mikhail Faustin and Dimitri Rascalov around Hove Beach and Firefly Island in Broker. Dimitri later mentions that Andrei was a friend of his sergeant from Vladivostok.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV

After Niko Bellic kills Vlad Glebov, a Hove Beach gangster tied to the Faustin family, Dimitri sends Andrei to find Niko and his cousin Roman. Andrei snatches the pair near the Perestroika cabaret club and brings them to the basement of Faustin's house in Beachgate, Broker. He loses patience with Niko's evasive answers and stays close by as Faustin questions the cousins. Without warning, the hot-tempered Faustin turns and shoots Andrei in the head, blaming him for bringing the Bellics into his home, upsetting his wife and generally being an annoyance. The killing, in Crime and Punishment, opens Niko's work for Faustin and Dimitri.

Personality

Andrei is cocky and condescending. He calls Niko "Mr. Balkan" and mocks Roman's weight while dragging him out of a dumpster, but his swagger offers no protection from his boss's temper.
