Background
Eduard Borodin was a Soviet-born contractor and businessman whose wealth put him in the megabillionaire class. His business empire probably began in Russia, and behind it he was quietly financing terrorists in Liberty City and across the United States.
Events of Grand Theft Auto IV
Once United Liberty Paper uncovers his activities, it assigns Niko Bellic and "Little" Jacob Hughes to take him out in Paper Trail. Borodin is first seen leaving the Civilization Committee building by helicopter. Niko has to gun down his henchmen to hijack another helicopter, then follows Borodin's Maverick through the air while Jacob fires a Rocket Launcher from the passenger seat. Because the agency demands no civilian casualties, the helicopter must come down over water; it is destroyed off southern Algonquin and Borodin dies in the explosion.
A Liberty Tree article on his death claims he had tried to buy part of Middle Park to build a mega-mansion, was refused by Mayor Julio Ochoa, and died while flying around in search of another site. He was also rumored to be in talks to buy the Liberty City Cocks.
Trivia
- Borodin has no voice actor.
- He shares a character model with Frankie Gallo and Slimeball, using different textures.
