[[folder:Gay Tony]]
!!Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artwork-tonyprince-tbogt_5378.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''"The Russian mob want me dead, my best friend just contemplated murdering me, the mob are on my case, I'm massively in debt and I just lost 2 million dollars worth of diamonds. Any other man would just dust himself off and carry on!"'']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' David "D.B. Cooper" Kenner

The owner and manager of Maisonette 9 and Hercules, two of Liberty City's biggest nightclubs. He is Luis Lopez's employer and mentor figure, but his descent into debt and his drug addiction has strained their relationship.

-> For tropes relating to his appearance in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', see his entry in this [[Characters/GrandTheftAutoVCharactersFromGrandTheftAutoIV character sheet]].
----
* ActionSurvivor: As part of an ActionDuo with [[ActionHero Luis]] in some missions wherein he handles a gun quite competently.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: His relationship with Evan Moss was like this [[spoiler: before Evan was killed by [[{{Deuteragonist}} Johnny Klebitz]]]].
* BashBrothers: With Luis several times in the story.
* BungledSuicide: Nearly blows his brains out with a pistol out of despair with [[spoiler:Evan's death and Gracie's kidnapping]], but he forgot to take the safety off.
* ExtremeDoormat: The role he plays in the above-mentioned relationship. This attitude has started to creep into his business life as well, due to his growing debt.
* FunctionalAddict: Is almost constantly high on coke, but still manages to successfully run the city's most popular nightclubs while juggling favors for criminal syndicates.
* LargeHam: Downplayed. While he puts on a show for PR purposes and is something of a drama queen when he's stressed out, he [[StraightGay never really]] gets into [[CampGay all-out hysteria.]]
* LifeOfTheParty: Subverted. Most of his flamboyant behavior is [[BeneathTheMask an act]] put on to disguise the fact that his business has been built on shady deals with [[TheMafia criminal]] [[TheMafiya organizations]].
* LikeASonToMe: What he thinks of Luis. He needs to be on a considerable amount of coke to say it out loud, though.
* NervousWreck: He's incredibly high strung, and his debts give him plenty of reason to be. He gives [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Ken Rosenberg]] a run for his money.
* NonActionGuy: He starts off as this, letting Luis do all the shooting and panicking at the thought of getting in a firefight. [[TookALevelInBadass By the end of the game, though,]] he's become just as competent as Luis is.
* NonPOVProtagonist: While he isn't the PlayerCharacter of ''Ballad'', the episode's story largely revolves around him and his attempts to get [[WorkOffTheDebt out of debt]].
* ParentalSubstitute: Luis even claims to his friends that Tony is like the father he never had.
* SharpDressedMan: Is seen in nice suits in both of his appearances.
* StraightGay: Despite his LargeHam tendencies and nickname.
* TookALevelInBadass: The first time him and Luis are both in a combat situation, he settles for nervously trailing behind Luis and won't even pick up a gun. By the end of the game, they are gunning down enemies side by side.
* WorkOffTheDebt: He borrowed money from TheMafia when he was young to start his [[CoolestClubEver nightclub]] [[WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame businesses]]. Now they've come back to collect, but he lacks the funds to pay the interest, forcing him to do their dirty work instead.

[[folder:Yusuf Amir]]
!!Yusuf Amir
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yusufamir-artwork_1278.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''"We were just having a little creative meeting and things went a bit crazy and I somehow lost my pants!"'']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Omid Djalili

A young Arab real estate developer who wants to franchise Gay Tony's clubs.
----
* ArabOilSheikh: Technically, he is the heir to one, but is also effectively one in terms of the wealth he already possesses and the business ventures he spearheads.
* AscendedExtra: Goes from an [[TheGhost unseen character]] only mentioned in one mission for Playboy X in ''GTA IV'' to a fully-fledged out character and the tritagonist of ''The Ballad of Gay Tony''.
* BadassBoast: [[spoiler: Offers them throughout the chase.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a light-hearted guy, but as soon as you'll hurt those he considers his friends, the joke is over.
* BigDamnHeroes: Twice in the final level. [[spoiler: First, he helps Luis make it to Francis International Airport using his golden Buzzard. Second, he offers to help remove the remaining debt from Tony and Luis for good by buying and franchising Maisonette 9 for them.]]
* BigFun: His missions really bring out the LighterAndSofter tone of TBOGT by having Luis steal a chopper and later, a ''military tank'' simply because he wants them free of charge.
* BlingBlingBang: Has a few golden Uzi submachine-guns, one of which he gives to Luis as a gift in return for helping him. He even has his [[spoiler: Buzzard attack chopper]] (which Luis helped him obtain) painted gold.
* TheBusCameBack: After 14 years, he returned for ''Grand Theft Auto Online'''s Chop Shop update.
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: In ''GTA IV'', Playboy X describes him as a "serious and overworked man". From what we see in ''The Ballad Of Gay Tony'', he is anything ''but''. However, Yusuf's father Abdul fits Playboy's description of him to a T.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: He has ''cars'' and fricking ''helicopters'' among other things made out of pure ''gold''.
* EccentricMillionaire: He has Luis go on missions to steal shit like an attack chopper, an APC, and decommissioned subway train. He's also obsessed with gold, having a phone made of it, an Uzi plated in it, and later the aforementioned chopper painted in gold.
* ForeignCultureFetish: He enjoys hip-hop culture, and [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy (painfully)]] recreates the mannerisms associated with it.
* FunnyForeigner: Light-hearted, "street", and carefree. He tends to provide a lot of comic relief in his missions.
* GunshipRescue: [[spoiler: In the final level, he saves Luis from getting killed by Bulgarin's assassins using his golden Buzzard, clearing a way into Francis International.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: He's on Luis' side, but won't hesitate to encourage him to kill criminals during a job or doing it himself. For example, he tells Luis to blow up a yacht full of criminals (and Tony later confirms that they are arms dealers connected to the worst governments in West Africa) after having stolen a Buzzard attack chopper from him while near the endgame, [[spoiler:he uses his gold Buzzard to fight off Ray Bulgarin's assassins so Luis can deal with Ray personally]].
* HiddenDepths : When Playboy X hires Niko to trash a building site that he thought Yusuf wanted a strike to be cleared from, Yusuf suspends progress on the new building and he closes down the site in memory of those killed by Niko.
* HookersAndBlow: And [[PantsFree No Pants]].
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He repeatedly and freely drops the n-word because he thinks this is just something cool that Western people call each other, not realizing how offensive this would be specially towards Luis (an ''Afro''-Dominican) who gets annoyed and warns Yusuf that he shouldn't do it.
* LonelyRichKid: He lives in the lap of luxury, but some get the impression he is a lonely, socially awkward man who just wants a good friend.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: ''Arab'' in his case, but still pretty much qualifies.
* NiceGuy: He is the only associate of Luis Lopez and Gay Tony who doesn't talk down to them or act like they own them and come the final mission, [[spoiler: Yusuf helps Luis deal with Ray Bulgarin and makes good on his promise to fund and franchise Maisonette 9 thereby helping the duo earn their happy ending in the ''IV'' era]].
* NWordPrivileges: He ''does not'' have this, but as part of his PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy shtick, he rather liberally tosses the word around.
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler: In the final mission.]]
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: If the suggestion that he has 3 solid gold guns is anything to go on, and that's just ''one'' of his 'investments'.
* {{Tritagonist}}: Of ''Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony''.
* UnseenNoMore: After being only mentioned in GTA IV, he appears as one of the main characters of TBOGT.
* UpperClassTwit: Downplayed. He may be a bit obnoxious, but he is genuinely nice to Luis.
* WellDoneSonGuy: His relationship with his father. He wants to make his father Abdul proud of him but his lavish lifestyle (and building style) is considered to be "shameful" and "disgraceful", due to his conservative views.

[[folder:Mori Kibbutz]]
!!Mori Kibbutz
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morikibbutz-artwork_3665.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''"Perfect? Yeah. Chiseled, tanned, handsome. I'm the dream ticket."'']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Gurner

Brucie Kibbutz's elder brother and one of Gay Tony's creditors.
----
* BigBrotherBully: Dear ''lord'' is he cruel to Brucie. One has to wonder how many of the man's issues are a direct result of Mori's abuse.
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: He brags about having a 10 inch "hose".
* EvilCounterpart: To his own brother, Brucie. Both are obsessed with being as physically fit as possible and both are extremely self-absorbed and egotistical. However, Brucie genuinely respects the people that are close to him (such as Niko), whereas Mori is a complete asshole to just about '''everybody'''.
* HateSink: Mori is a utter prick to everyone around him, namely Luis, whom [[MaliciousMisnaming consistently misnames]] as Lou to spite him, and his little brother Brucie whom he treats like a subhuman. Needless to say, the moment when Brucie (accidently) whacks him in the face is pure catharsis for both Luis and the player alike.
* {{Jerkass}}: He verbally abuses every single person that he speaks to, and never once indicates even the slightest hint of empathy. Not even after the end of the story.
* JerkJock: The fact that he manages to be this well into adulthood really [[{{Manchild}} says something about him]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: Finally receives on in his last mission where Brucie punches him in the nose, breaking it.
* LightIsNotGood: He wears white colored clothing and has light colored hair, but he's a despicable bully and a thoroughly unpleasant and abrasive person.
* LoanShark: Whom Tony owes money to, thus forcing Luis to do some work for him.
* TheNapoleon: He is notably shorter than most characters, and he is complete jerkass who is ''very'' insecure about his height. Luis even comments on this.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: He ''breaks down in tears'' when Brucie ends up breaking his nose.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Brucie has never mentioned the existence of Mori to either Niko or Roman, but Mori is somehow aware of Brucie's friendship with the two.
* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: He basically serves as this to Brucie, showing up years after they've both grown up to torment his little brother once again.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Slightly more famous than Brucie, but with an even bigger ego than him.

[[folder:Evan Moss]]
!!Evan Moss
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evanmoss_tbogt.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Where's Tony?, Where's Tony? What's wrong with 'Hi Evan, you're looking cut'. 'Hi Evan, like a drink?'. 'Hi Evan, if I wasn't straight I'd ravage you right now.'"'']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Robert Youells

An ex-bodybuilder turned male model and the current boyfriend of Gay Tony.
----
* AllTakeAndNoGive: What his relationship with Tony is, as Evan constantly takes advantage of him for money, drugs and parties. Luis even tells Tony this in a phonecall after the mission "Bang Bang":
--> '''Luis''': He's dragging you down, man. He's a fucking parasite.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: No one seems to mourn him after he's gunned down by Johnny Klebitz. Luis seems glad to see him gone and Tony flat out admits Evan was a horrible person.]]
* CampGay: Compared to Tony, Evan is much more effeminate and dramatic.
* DrugsAreBad: He's a "coke pushing steroid junkie" in Luis's words and said to be the one who got Tony addicted to drugs to begin with.
** If you read the Liberty Tree article [[spoiler: about his death,]] it's reveals that Evan was a successful bodybuilder while he was younger, having won a teen weightlifting competition when he was 16 - only to end up ruining his career through a number of scandals, one of which included positive drug tests.
* GoldDigger: One of the reasons why Luis hates him, as it's clear Evan is mainly dating Tony for his money.
* HateSink: Much like Mori, there's nothing redeemable about him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's an obnoxious, self-centered asshole who treats Tony like crap and looks down on Luis. [[spoiler: After he gets killed]], even Tony admits that Evan was "a wretched excuse for a human being".
* MachoCamp: He's a blond, tanned, muscular gay man who used to be a bodybuilder.
* SkewedPriorities: He keeps making posts on social media even as he is [[spoiler: ''being murdered'']].
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's 24, but he looks older than that. It's likely due to his tan and drug use.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He hardly matters in the narrative of ''GTAIV'' era, but his death actually leads to Luis meeting Johnny and Niko (as enemies), and Luis and Niko getting into conflict with each other before both parties get what they want.

----

* NiceGuy: Is the only associate of Luis Lopez and Gay Tony who doesn't talk down to them or act like they own them and come the final mission, [[spoiler: Yusuf helps Luis deal with Ray Bulgarin and makes good on his promise to fund and franchise Maisonette 9 thereby helping the duo earn their happy ending in the ''IV'' era]].

* UpperClassTwit: He may be a bit obnoxious, but he is genuinely nice to Luis.

* GoodIsNotSoft: He's on Luis' side, but won't hesitate to encourage him to kill criminals during a job or doing it himself. For example, he tells Luis to blow up a yacht full of criminals (and Tony confirms that they are) after having stolen a Buzzard attack chopper from him while near the endgame, [[spoiler:he uses his gold Buzzard to fight off Ray Bulgarin's assassins so Luis can deal with Ray personally]].

* AFatherToHisMen: Luis even claims to his friends that Tony is like the father he never had.

* DrivenToSuicide: Nearly blows his brains out with a pistol out of despair with [[spoiler:Evan's death and Gracie's kidnapping]], but he forgot to take the safety off.

* BigFun: His missions really bring out the Lighter and Softer tone of TBOGT by having Luis steal a chopper and later, a ''military tank'' simply because he wants them free of charge.

* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: By his father no less.

* TheBusCameBack: After 14 years, he returned for ''Grand Theft Auto Online'''s Chop Shop update.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: He repeatedly and freely drops the n-word because he thinks this is just something cool that Western people call each other, not realizing how offensive this would be specially towards Luis (a Dominican) who gets annoyed and warns Yusuf that he shouldn't do it.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: He encourages Luis to murder the people he stole the Buzzard from because they were arms dealers who aided terror cells. Tony later confirms (after an initial BaitAndSwitch to trick Luis into admitting his involvement with their deaths) that they really were bad people.
