Fabien LaRouche

Background

Fabien LaRouche is Amanda De Santa's yoga instructor in Grand Theft Auto V. A self-styled spiritual guru with a heavy French accent, he gives private yoga lessons at the De Santa mansion in Rockford Hills. He is pretentious and condescending, and Michael despises him from the start.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

Fabien is introduced in Did Somebody Say Yoga?. Amanda persuades Michael to join one of her sessions, and Fabien guides him through a series of positions by the pool while lecturing him about his energy and lack of balance. Michael's frustration with Fabien, and his suspicions about how close Fabien is to Amanda, add to a disastrous day that ends with the family leaving him.

Fabien is one of the men Amanda has an affair with during the period when her marriage to Michael is falling apart. He continues to make occasional appearances at the mansion, and Michael can later practice yoga on his own using the positions learned in the session.

Personality

Fabien is smug, vain and full of vague spiritual phrases. He clearly enjoys humiliating Michael and seems more interested in Amanda's money and attention than in her wellbeing.
