History Characters / GrandTheftAutoVFriendsFamilyAndAssociates

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Is brutally murdered in his apartment along with his girlfriend, [[GoryDiscretionShot although exactly what Trevor did to them is left to the imagination]].[[labelnote:*]]A news report says that a woman was found stabbed to death, and a man was shot in the head, but given [[CrapsackWorld the world of GTA]], this doesn't bring much to light.[[/labelnote]]]]

** She also has the nerves to dope-slap the man who kidnapped her, and throwing out his gasoline.

** [[spoiler:Kidnapping a gangster who has known you from when you were a child with a PaperThinDisguise with your dog in tow. Oh, and letting him know you're coming instead of sneaking up on him. And then using your own phone to announce his ransom to the rest of his gang.]]
** [[spoiler:Yes Lamar, it's a ''brilliant'' idea to enter into a drug deal with the gangster you previously tried to kidnap in an empty recycling depot. Nothing sketchy about that.]]
** [[spoiler:Or going into a lumberyard in the middle of nowhere to do a deal arranged by someone your friend has told you might be a snitch.]]

** [[spoiler:Kidnapping a gangster who has known you from when you were a child with a PaperThinDisguise with your dog in tow. Oh, and letting him know you're coming instead of sneaking up on him. And then using your own phone to announce his ransom to the authorities.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Since Jimmy spent his life with privilege afforded to him by his father and never taking anything seriously, he's horribly out of his element when he tries to play tough in front of others. Jimmy tries selling a yacht for drug money, the thieves just steal the boat instead with him inside it. When he tries to act tough in front of Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, all three are cringing at his [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy attempts to be cool]]. In ''The Diamond Casino Heist'', he does follow through with his promise to sort his life out even if he has trouble adjusting to the life of working his way up rather than using Michael's wealth to get a leg up on the competition.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: He doesn't accompany Franklin and Lamar that much in ''The Contract'', owing to his advanced age.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: A good fifty percent (or possibly more) of her dialogue with Michael is telling him off about something, or just generally telling him what a lousy husband he is. Funnily enough, it takes her and Michael exchanging a ''series'' of these during a therapy session to help her work through her own issues with Michael and realizing he just wants him to stop lying to her and not endangering the kids.

* CatchPhrase: He usually tells Michael that some of his services are "a little more expensive".
* DrJerk: He's more interested in making money than helping patients. Best demonstrated when he cuts a session short just as Michael is on the edge of an epiphany, to ensure that he will have to come back and, not least, pay for another session. Since he's a full-blown over-the-top pastiche of the typical "Hollywood" psychotherapist, it's a given.

* ManipulativeBastard: Jimmy has an uncanny ability to manipulate people (particularly his father) into doing what he wants. In the triathlon mission, he intentionally leads Michael to the yacht where Tracey is entertaining drug dealers and porn stars, and feigns surprise when Michael races off to save her. In the mission where they go to Cluckin' Bell, [[spoiler:he tricks his father into trying a laced drink, and then steals his car and money before moving out.]] And finally, [[spoiler:he's the one who actually gets the family to get back together at the end.]]

* AddledAddict: He appears to be a meth addict as you can sometimes find him smoking meth in Trevor's trailer and he has sores all over his face. By 2022, the sores have disappeared, possibly implying that he's now sober.

* {{Juggalo}}: Wears [[Music/InsaneClownPosse ICP]]-inspired clothing and occasionally face paint. Dialogue reveals that he met Trevor while on a roadtrip to the annual Gathering of the Juggalos. When looking closely on his character model, you can see that some of his tattoos are indeed Juggalo-inspired.

** Will react badly to the Online Protagonists if they kill any hostages during the Pacific Standard Job, and for good reason: [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment Killing two hostages will cause the clerks to]] [[FromBadToWorse raise the alarm and get NOOSE!]]

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: [[spoiler:After the family breaks up for a while, Jimmy realises that he can't keep blaming Michael for everything that goes wrong and he has to take responsibility for his own life.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: [[spoiler:While he does apologize to Michael and tells him to go make up with Amanda, he does so in a very rude and obnoxious manner.]]

* TheUnfavorite: It's implied several times that Michael prefers Tracey over him because of his indolence and self-centeredness. Michael does say he loves Jimmy multiple times, he just hates how ungrateful Jimmy is for the life he has and for not taking any opportunities to better himself.

* GeniusDitz: There are a couple of hints that there's more going on in his noggin than's readily apparent. While driving to Los Santos he suggests he and Trevor play "Animal, Vegetable or Mineral" and he picks nanotechnology (although he messes up by saying it instead of making Trevor guess). Trevor also charges him with tracking down Michael which he does successfully (although not without a few road bumps). This line from trevor says it best:

** [[spoiler:Surprisingly [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], jokes aside that ''technically speaking'' the [=RPG-7=] ''is'' a grenade launcher, only its projectiles are rocket-boosted rather than parabolically-arced. [=RPG-7=]s are (in)famously easy to operate, and it's been ''well established'' over the course of the entire game that Lester is ''highly intelligent'', especially when it comes to calculations, so there's nothing to suggest he ''couldn't'' be able to quickly figure out where to point and when to shoot in order for a rocket-propelled projectile to hit a target moving at a certain speed while you yourself are on a platform moving at a certain speed. All it comes down at that point to is reaction time, [[TruthInTelevision of which video games have, in multiple studies, been proven to improve both the accuracy and speed of reaction-time in those who play them compared to those who don't play them]].]]

** He helps Jimmy find a job in an arcade. However, Lester forces him into an entry-level janitor jobs, and privately believes Jimmy won't last a week.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She tells Michael that killing people then sulking at the beach is not work.

* BadBoss: ''Very'' much so--he treats his employees ''almost'' as badly as he treats his customers. From Franklin's and Lamar's experiences, it's a cold day in Hell to get a paycheck out of him, and getting a ''raise'' borders on physically impossible. As he tells Franklin when asked about said raise:
-->'''Simeon:''' You tell me exactly what you want, and I will very carefully explain to you [[BaitAndSwitch why it cannot be]].

* BreakingTheFellowship: He implies this of the story mode crew in ''Online'' in a throwaway line during the stealth approach of the Diamond Casino Heist. At the very least, Lester doesn't seem to be in contact anymore. Considering Michael has been MIA since ''Online'''s launch, Franklin and Lamar are running their own business in ''The Contract'' update, and Trevor has supposedly "gone Vinewood" and abandoned most of his criminal enterprises, this might very well be true. However he is willing to get Jimmy a job at the Protagonist's arcade and describes him as a "family friend", implying there may still be some love with Michael at the very least.

* HateSink: Possibly one of the loathsome characters in the game. She's a [[{{Jerkass}} major bitch towards Franklin]], always being incredibly rude to him for the smallest of reasons, [[SpeakIllOfTheDead always insulting about her late sister to his face]], and is just annoying in general (Ant not in a fun way). At least the majority of Franklin's friends are decent people, even if they have flaws of their own. ''Denise Clinton'' is not one of those people.
