Background
Jayvon Simson was born in North Holland around 1973 and became a small-time crack dealer with the North Holland Hustlers during the crack boom of the early 1990s. To avoid prison he became an LCPD informant, and his testimony helped convict several gang members, including leader Dwayne Forge. While Dwayne was locked up, Jayvon began dating his girlfriend, Cherise Glover. His record includes two crack possession charges, assaulting a police officer and tax evasion.
Events of Grand Theft Auto IV
After his release, Dwayne turns to his former protégé Playboy X, who puts him in touch with Niko Bellic. In Ruff Rider, Dwayne sends Niko to kill Jayvon, who is with Cherise at an arcade in Chinatown. Jayvon jumps on his red Hellfury and flees, and Niko chases him down and kills him, then returns Jayvon's money to Dwayne. Jayvon is 35 when he dies in 2008.
Trivia
- He uses a random Jamaican Posse pedestrian model, so his outfit can change each time the mission is played.
- If the chase goes on long enough he crashes and simply stands glaring at Niko, though he may eventually pull out a Micro-SMG.
- His single spoken line is borrowed from Jamaican Posse members and is not subtitled.
