Background

Yusuf Amir is a wealthy property developer from a Middle Eastern family in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Spoiled, flamboyant and obsessed with gold and military hardware, he wants to buy into Tony Prince's clubs and becomes one of Luis Lopez's most generous employers.

Events of The Ballad of Gay Tony

Yusuf first meets Luis through Tony and immediately hires him for extravagant jobs. In Sexy Time Luis steals a Buzzard attack helicopter and destroys a yacht, and in High Dive he kills two targets and escapes by parachute. Caught with Your Pants Down has Luis steal an APC and fight off the police, and in For the Man Who Has Everything he steals a subway car for Yusuf's collection. Completing his missions unlocks military vehicles and weapons, including the parachute and later the gold Super Drop Diamond and Gold SMG.

Yusuf also appears in Grand Theft Auto IV through mentions: his shut-down construction site is the location of Playboy X's mission Deconstruction for Beginners.
