----
[[folder:General]]
* BigBadWannabe: While far from harmless, these guys have no real power to speak of and operate on too small a scale for them to be a genuine threat. This doesn't stop the LCPD from keeping an eye on them or Niko Bellic from causing serious damage to the gang, but it keeps them hidden from better organized and more dangerous groups, such as the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheLostAndDamned Lost MC]], the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers]], and the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoChinatownWars Triads]]. Not like they could afford an open war with any of their opponents, anyway.
* CivilWar: They have one between Playboy X, the acting boss, and Dwayne Forge, the old boss. It's mostly a one-sided example, as Playboy controls all of the soldiers while Dwayne only has one gangbanger and (optionally) Niko.
* GangBangers: They and the rest of the Hustlers are a loose affiliation of small-time drug dealers and hoodlums from some of the poorest areas of Liberty City. Curiously, they [[AvertedTrope avert]] GangstaStyle by adopting the Weaver stance and shooting from the shoulder, despite being untrained thugs.
* HummerDinger: The Patriot and the Landstalker are some of the North Holland Hustlers' vehicles. They're usually painted black, but some are painted red.
* OutOfFocus: While the bearing they had on the story was already limited, the only screen time the Hustlers got in ''The Lost and Damned'' was from Playboy X's brief appearance. They were rendered irrelevant in ''The Ballad of Gay Tony'', and only exist in ''Chinatown Wars'' for Huang Lee to make deals with, massacre them in Rampages, or hijack their vans for drugs (even then, they and the rest of the Hustlers aren't even identified by name in the latter; just with the catch-all "African Americans" name), all of which are optional.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Postell Pringle
Current boss of the North Holland Hustlers and Dwayne's former protege.
----
* AssholeVictim: If you choose to kill him, his death will treated as completely well-deserved.
* BadGuysPlayPool: He has his own personal pool table in his building which he occasionally plays.
* TheBadGuyWins: If the player kills Dwayne, Playboy X cuts ties with Niko and gets everything he wants.
* BigGood: Aspires to clean-up the neighborhood by making millions from legitimate business enterprises. It's arguable whether he'd ever do this or if it's even remotely possible.
* BookDumb: Playboy X, unlike Dwayne, was a smart child but let the drug-dealer lifestyle lure him away from an education. It's done well for him but he's outright ''stupid'' in many areas.
** When talking about Yusuf Amir, he claims that they're practically brothers because Amir's home city of Dubai is "in Africa." It's... not, as Niko himself even tells him.
** Later, when discussing [[spoiler:killing Dwayne]], he claims that it's perfectly justified because [[AsTheGoodBookSays in the bible,]] Jesus had John the Baptist assassinated. Niko is quick to point out that that's not how the story goes.
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: He certainly thinks so. Dwayne objects to this mentality, having just done 20 years in prison because of the "gangster" lifestyle.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Should Niko decide to kill him, he runs for his life while his thugs do the dirty work]].
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:He orders Niko to execute Dwayne not only because he considers him a liability, but because believes that sooner or later, he will go crazy and kill him. Except Dwayne has been a shell of a man since he left prison who is more likely to [[DrivenToSuicide cap himself]] than anyone for that matter, and as soon as he phones Niko, he briefly considers letting Playboy killing him showing that he is in no position to follow through Playboy's paranoia]].
* EpicFail: His plan to win over Yusuf Amir is {{Foreshadowed}} to be headed for this from the very beginning. [[spoiler: And it is, indeed, an EpicFail. X hires Niko to trash a building site that he thought Yusuf wanted a strike to be cleared from, when in fact Yusuf had already suspended progress on the new building and he closes down the site in memory of those killed by Niko, making the [[AllForNothing whole plan doomed from the beginning]]]].
* EvilFormerFriend: Him and Dwayne used to be best buddies until Dwayne got jailed for drug dealing. Since then, Playboy degenerated into a self-serving, greedy jackass and after Dwayne is released, Playboy sees him as nothing more than an inconvenience to be dealt with.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts friendly and is nice to Niko at first, but he's really just a self-centered douchebag who's caught up in his own ego, and won't hesitate to backstab [[spoiler: Dwayne, and potentially Niko if you choose to follow his orders]].
* GlobalIgnorance: His belief that Dubai is in Africa.
* HateSink: An arrogant, self-centered asshole [[SmugSnake who believes he can be rich with his limited resources]]. [[spoiler:Not only that, he is more than willing to kill Dwayne, his own mentor and friend. Even Niko tells him (before killing him) that he is a bad joke]].
* HummerDinger: He owns a Patriot with a yellow paintjob.
* {{Hypocrite}}: His reaction to the player [[spoiler:choosing to kill Dwayne is to castigate and cut ties with Niko... despite it being his idea, whereas Niko tried to talk him out of it.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: It's abundantly clear that the only person that Playboy cares about is himself.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's actually quite friendly with Niko at first, but he treats everyone else like shit. On his very first mission, he spends a chunk of time trash talking Johnny Klebitz, his own ally in the prospective drug deal.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He fancies himself to be an intellectual, but anyone with a basic knowledge of the things he talks about would be able to see where he gets things mistaken. Even Niko realizes this.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:If you kill Dwayne for him. Subverted in that he is quick to switch the blame on Niko and he refuses to accept the blame for his fault]].
* {{Narcissist}}: Thinks of himself as the king of his territory and will jump to any opportunity to get money and power even if it means screwing over his own associates, especially Dwayne.
* NeverMyFault: He completely fails to note that the entire Dwayne situation arose because he blew off his old mentor once he was out of prison. [[spoiler: If Niko kills Dwayne, Playboy acts appalled and severs ties with him...even though he pressured Niko into doing it in the first place.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Playboy X could be interpreted to be loosely based on Music/JayZ as both had fallen out with their respective mentors. Both dealt crack cocaine early in their lives while having lofty aspirations to expand into numerous areas of legitimate business, and aid in improving the community through those areas of business by assisting people under socio-economic stress. There's also their names and the similarity in accent.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He acts like he's some kind of millionaire philanthropist, constantly bragging about how he's going to invest his drug money into legitimate business someday so he can help out "the little people." If doesn't make it clear enough, he at one point indirectly compares himself to ''Jesus.''
** He also thinks that he owns Liberty City, when in reality, he is not even on the same tier as the Mafiya and the Commission. [[spoiler: When Niko comes to kill him, he claims that everyone in town will be after him now. Literally no one does, and the rest of his own gang defects to Dwayne without a fuss.]]
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Playboy will ask you to kill Dwayne merely because he doesn't care much for him. Dwayne will try to persuade Niko to cap Playboy X instead. Who Niko kills is up to the player.]]
** Part of the issue is Dwayne considers drug-dealing a rather disgusting act, regardless of how much money it makes. Given this is the primary source of Playboy's revenue...
* SmugSnake: Big time. At one point, he claims that he owns Liberty City. He's not even a blip on the radar of anyone important in the city.
* UngratefulBastard: To Dwayne. You would think Playboy would be happy his former mentor and father figure is out of jail. In reality, he doesn't care that much, and by "The Holland Play," [[spoiler: their relationship has rotted to the point that they can't stand each other.]]
** He becomes this [[spoiler: to Niko]] if you [[spoiler: side with him against Dwayne. He regrets killing Dwayne (he really doesn't) and decides to blame Niko for driving them apart.]]
* VisionaryVillain: Wants to use his criminal connections and drug-dealing to expand into legitimate business, claiming that he intends to "clean" up Liberty City's streets and provide a better future for the kids.
* XMakesAnythingCool: It seems to be a reference to the street he lives on.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Devin Richards
Former boss of the North Holland Hustlers. After completing a decade-long prison sentence for drug possession, he finds that his drug empire has been taken over by his protégé, Playboy X.
Dwayne is one of Niko's "friends" that the player can hang out with, but only if [[spoiler:he isn't killed in "The Holland Play"]]. Spending enough time with him rewards the player with the ability to call for gang backup in combat.
----
* AffablyEvil: Despite being an ex-drug kingpin, Dwayne shows a deep kindness and altruism, especially for the people he cares about.
* AbusiveParents: His violent, drug-dealing dad made life a living hell for him and his mother. He recounts to Niko that he didn't feel anything when his father was murdered and admits that he was glad.
* BaldOfAuthority: Served as leader to the North Holland Hustlers prior to his incarceration. [[spoiler: He can return to this position should you choose to kill Playboy X in his stead.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: Sparing him in "The Holland Play"]] and [[KarmicJackpot he'll provide Niko with]] the second-best safehouse in the game that includes [[ShoutOut Claude's outfit]] and with a high enough friendship level, sends a couple henchmen to back Niko up in a fight.
* BeingEvilSucks: He is a firm believer of this.
* DarkandTroubledPast: Dwayne grew up in a crime-ridden housing project with an abusive criminal for a father, who regularly beat Dwayne and his mother. At one point, he mentions that he was once homeless.
* DeathSeeker: He teeters over this trope, stating he considered suicide due to his depression but never went through it, stating that "he is not there yet". [[spoiler:When Playboy orders his death, he comments that he should just let him do it and put him out of his misery and should Niko go through with it, he doesn't even fight back (though he will feel betrayed nonetheless)]].
--> Shit is fucked up, man. Sometimes I just wanna end this shit. Just... bam. But I ain't there yet. Not quite.
* DrugsAreBad: A belief of his, primarily because he dealt crack-cocaine to many former schoolmates and saw what it did to them.
* TheEeyore: His harsh childhood and life of crime had left him with a deeply melancholic view on life.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: His reaction if Niko kills him instead of Playboy X.]]
* FlunkyBoss: ''Very'' downplayed. [[spoiler: Should Niko choose to kill Dwayne, the only obstacle Niko has to deal with is a North Holland Hustler with a baseball bat inside his Dwayne's apartment. Dwayne himself will not fight, being a DeathSeeker and all.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: How he feels about having to deal drugs. He admits to Niko that he knew it was wrong, but felt like he didn't have a choice due to his lack of money and education.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He reveals that he wanted to start a nice family and have kids, but his criminal activities and prison stint ruined this.
* LonelyAtTheTop: He admits that, despite being immense wealthy when he first led the North Holland Hustlers, he felt miserable, angry and paranoid.
* LikeASonToMe: He once thought of Playboy X this way, but realized that Playboy's greed has estranged them both [[spoiler: long before the latter hires Niko to kill him]]. Also the reason why he refuses to live in Playboy's apartment [[spoiler: after Niko kills Playboy instead, and he gives the deed as a reward to Niko]]; the apartment reminds him of Playboy too much.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Downplayed. He's somewhat literate, but he admits that he has a hard time reading, and his text messages are often barely intelligible. It's also why [[spoiler: he didn't end up becoming a cop and instead got into selling drugs.]]
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Niko notes that Dwayne reminds him of himself as another person that grew up in a CrapsackWorld and still has baggage because of it.
* ScaryBlackMan: When not wallowing in his own depression, Dwayne is downright ''terrifying''.
* SelfMadeMan: A dark example. He talks about the apartments full of money he used to have.
* SonOfAWhore: More like Son of a Pimp, but this has contributed to his terrible self-image.
* StopBeingStereotypical: Makes a joke about being a black man who loves fried chicken since Cluckin' Bell is his favorite restaurant.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Suffers heavily from this after getting out of prison, trying to figure out how exactly being a drug dealer and gangster became something that people aspired to do rather than a last resort.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Given that in his youth days the sale of drugs made him a paranoid, angry man, it's pretty obvious that this lifestyle was not his thing.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: A professional version. Dwayne hates dealing drugs, even though it made him rich.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: His reaction to Playboy X's glamorization of being a drug dealer.

This is the character sheet concerning the North Holland Hustlers, an African-American street gang with ties to the drug trade in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' and its [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheLostAndDamned downloadable]] [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony expansions]].

----
[[folder:General]]
* BigBadWannabe: While far from harmless, these guys have no real power to speak of and operate on too small a scale for them to be a genuine threat. This doesn't stop the LCPD from keeping an eye on them or Niko Bellic from causing serious damage to the gang, but it keeps them hidden from better organized and more dangerous groups, such as the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheLostAndDamned Lost MC]], the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers]], and the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoChinatownWars Triads]]. Not like they could afford an open war with any of their opponents, anyway.
* CivilWar: They have one between Playboy X, the acting boss, and Dwayne Forge, the old boss. It's mostly a one-sided example, as Playboy controls all of the soldiers while Dwayne only has one gangbanger and (optionally) Niko.
* GangBangers: They and the rest of the Hustlers are a loose affiliation of small-time drug dealers and hoodlums from some of the poorest areas of Liberty City. Curiously, they [[AvertedTrope avert]] GangstaStyle by adopting the Weaver stance and shooting from the shoulder, despite being untrained thugs.
* HummerDinger: The Patriot and the Landstalker are some of the North Holland Hustlers' vehicles. They're usually painted black, but some are painted red.
* OutOfFocus: While the bearing they had on the story was already limited, the only screen time the Hustlers got in ''The Lost and Damned'' was from Playboy X's brief appearance. They were rendered irrelevant in ''The Ballad of Gay Tony'', and only exist in ''Chinatown Wars'' for Huang Lee to make deals with, massacre them in Rampages, or hijack their vans for drugs (even then, they and the rest of the Hustlers aren't even identified by name in the latter; just with the catch-all "African Americans" name), all of which are optional.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Postell Pringle
Current boss of the North Holland Hustlers and Dwayne's former protege.
----
* AssholeVictim: If you choose to kill him, his death will treated as completely well-deserved.
* BadGuysPlayPool: He has his own personal pool table in his building which he occasionally plays.
* TheBadGuyWins: If the player kills Dwayne, Playboy X cuts ties with Niko and gets everything he wants.
* BigGood: Aspires to clean-up the neighborhood by making millions from legitimate business enterprises. It's arguable whether he'd ever do this or if it's even remotely possible.
* BookDumb: Playboy X, unlike Dwayne, was a smart child but let the drug-dealer lifestyle lure him away from an education. It's done well for him but he's outright ''stupid'' in many areas.
** When talking about Yusuf Amir, he claims that they're practically brothers because Amir's home city of Dubai is "in Africa." It's... not, as Niko himself even tells him.
** Later, when discussing [[spoiler:killing Dwayne]], he claims that it's perfectly justified because [[AsTheGoodBookSays in the bible,]] Jesus had John the Baptist assassinated. Niko is quick to point out that that's not how the story goes.
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: He certainly thinks so. Dwayne objects to this mentality, having just done 20 years in prison because of the "gangster" lifestyle.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Should Niko decide to kill him, he runs for his life while his thugs do the dirty work]].
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:He orders Niko to execute Dwayne not only because he considers him a liability, but because believes that sooner or later, he will go crazy and kill him. Except Dwayne has been a shell of a man since he left prison who is more likely to [[DrivenToSuicide cap himself]] than anyone for that matter, and as soon as he phones Niko, he briefly considers letting Playboy killing him showing that he is in no position to follow through Playboy's paranoia]].
* EpicFail: His plan to win over Yusuf Amir is {{Foreshadowed}} to be headed for this from the very beginning. [[spoiler: And it is, indeed, an EpicFail. X hires Niko to trash a building site that he thought Yusuf wanted a strike to be cleared from, when in fact Yusuf had already suspended progress on the new building and he closes down the site in memory of those killed by Niko, making the [[AllForNothing whole plan doomed from the beginning]]]].
* EvilFormerFriend: Him and Dwayne used to be best buddies until Dwayne got jailed for drug dealing. Since then, Playboy degenerated into a self-serving, greedy jackass and after Dwayne is released, Playboy sees him as nothing more than an inconvenience to be dealt with.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts friendly and is nice to Niko at first, but he's really just a self-centered douchebag who's caught up in his own ego, and won't hesitate to backstab [[spoiler: Dwayne, and potentially Niko if you choose to follow his orders]].
* GlobalIgnorance: His belief that Dubai is in Africa.
* HateSink: An arrogant, self-centered asshole [[SmugSnake who believes he can be rich with his limited resources]]. [[spoiler:Not only that, he is more than willing to kill Dwayne, his own mentor and friend. Even Niko tells him (before killing him) that he is a bad joke]].
* HummerDinger: He owns a Patriot with a yellow paintjob.
* {{Hypocrite}}: His reaction to the player [[spoiler:choosing to kill Dwayne is to castigate and cut ties with Niko... despite it being his idea, whereas Niko tried to talk him out of it.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: It's abundantly clear that the only person that Playboy cares about is himself.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's actually quite friendly with Niko at first, but he treats everyone else like shit. On his very first mission, he spends a chunk of time trash talking Johnny Klebitz, his own ally in the prospective drug deal.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He fancies himself to be an intellectual, but anyone with a basic knowledge of the things he talks about would be able to see where he gets things mistaken. Even Niko realizes this.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:If you kill Dwayne for him. Subverted in that he is quick to switch the blame on Niko and he refuses to accept the blame for his fault]].
* {{Narcissist}}: Thinks of himself as the king of his territory and will jump to any opportunity to get money and power even if it means screwing over his own associates, especially Dwayne.
* NeverMyFault: He completely fails to note that the entire Dwayne situation arose because he blew off his old mentor once he was out of prison. [[spoiler: If Niko kills Dwayne, Playboy acts appalled and severs ties with him...even though he pressured Niko into doing it in the first place.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Playboy X could be interpreted to be loosely based on Music/JayZ as both had fallen out with their respective mentors. Both dealt crack cocaine early in their lives while having lofty aspirations to expand into numerous areas of legitimate business, and aid in improving the community through those areas of business by assisting people under socio-economic stress. There's also their names and the similarity in accent.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He acts like he's some kind of millionaire philanthropist, constantly bragging about how he's going to invest his drug money into legitimate business someday so he can help out "the little people." If doesn't make it clear enough, he at one point indirectly compares himself to ''Jesus.''
** He also thinks that he owns Liberty City, when in reality, he is not even on the same tier as the Mafiya and the Commission. [[spoiler: When Niko comes to kill him, he claims that everyone in town will be after him now. Literally no one does, and the rest of his own gang defects to Dwayne without a fuss.]]
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Playboy will ask you to kill Dwayne merely because he doesn't care much for him. Dwayne will try to persuade Niko to cap Playboy X instead. Who Niko kills is up to the player.]]
** Part of the issue is Dwayne considers drug-dealing a rather disgusting act, regardless of how much money it makes. Given this is the primary source of Playboy's revenue...
* SmugSnake: Big time. At one point, he claims that he owns Liberty City. He's not even a blip on the radar of anyone important in the city.
* UngratefulBastard: To Dwayne. You would think Playboy would be happy his former mentor and father figure is out of jail. In reality, he doesn't care that much, and by "The Holland Play," [[spoiler: their relationship has rotted to the point that they can't stand each other.]]
** He becomes this [[spoiler: to Niko]] if you [[spoiler: side with him against Dwayne. He regrets killing Dwayne (he really doesn't) and decides to blame Niko for driving them apart.]]
* VisionaryVillain: Wants to use his criminal connections and drug-dealing to expand into legitimate business, claiming that he intends to "clean" up Liberty City's streets and provide a better future for the kids.
* XMakesAnythingCool: It seems to be a reference to the street he lives on.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gerry_gtaiv_0.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Shit is fucked up, man. Sometimes I just wanna end this shit. Just... bam. But I ain't there yet. Not quite."'']]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Devin Richards
Former boss of the North Holland Hustlers. After completing a decade-long prison sentence for drug possession, he finds that his drug empire has been taken over by his protégé, Playboy X.
Dwayne is one of Niko's "friends" that the player can hang out with, but only if [[spoiler:he isn't killed in "The Holland Play"]]. Spending enough time with him rewards the player with the ability to call for gang backup in combat.
----
* AffablyEvil: Despite being an ex-drug kingpin, Dwayne shows a deep kindness and altruism, especially for the people he cares about.
* AbusiveParents: His violent, drug-dealing dad made life a living hell for him and his mother. He recounts to Niko that he didn't feel anything when his father was murdered and admits that he was glad.
* BaldOfAuthority: Served as leader to the North Holland Hustlers prior to his incarceration. [[spoiler: He can return to this position should you choose to kill Playboy X in his stead.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: Sparing him in "The Holland Play"]] and [[KarmicJackpot he'll provide Niko with]] the second-best safehouse in the game that includes [[ShoutOut Claude's outfit]] and with a high enough friendship level, sends a couple henchmen to back Niko up in a fight.
* BeingEvilSucks: He is a firm believer of this.
* DarkandTroubledPast: Dwayne grew up in a crime-ridden housing project with an abusive criminal for a father, who regularly beat Dwayne and his mother. At one point, he mentions that he was once homeless.
* DeathSeeker: He teeters over this trope, stating he considered suicide due to his depression but never went through it, stating that "he is not there yet". [[spoiler:When Playboy orders his death, he comments that he should just let him do it and put him out of his misery and should Niko go through with it, he doesn't even fight back (though he will feel betrayed nonetheless)]].
--> Shit is fucked up, man. Sometimes I just wanna end this shit. Just... bam. But I ain't there yet. Not quite.
* DrugsAreBad: A belief of his, primarily because he dealt crack-cocaine to many former schoolmates and saw what it did to them.
* TheEeyore: His harsh childhood and life of crime had left him with a deeply melancholic view on life.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: His reaction if Niko kills him instead of Playboy X.]]
* FlunkyBoss: ''Very'' downplayed. [[spoiler: Should Niko choose to kill Dwayne, the only obstacle Niko has to deal with is a North Holland Hustler with a baseball bat inside his Dwayne's apartment. Dwayne himself will not fight, being a DeathSeeker and all.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: How he feels about having to deal drugs. He admits to Niko that he knew it was wrong, but felt like he didn't have a choice due to his lack of money and education.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He reveals that he wanted to start a nice family and have kids, but his criminal activities and prison stint ruined this.
* LonelyAtTheTop: He admits that, despite being immense wealthy when he first led the North Holland Hustlers, he felt miserable, angry and paranoid.
* LikeASonToMe: He once thought of Playboy X this way, but realized that Playboy's greed has estranged them both [[spoiler: long before the latter hires Niko to kill him]]. Also the reason why he refuses to live in Playboy's apartment [[spoiler: after Niko kills Playboy instead, and he gives the deed as a reward to Niko]]; the apartment reminds him of Playboy too much.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Downplayed. He's somewhat literate, but he admits that he has a hard time reading, and his text messages are often barely intelligible. It's also why [[spoiler: he didn't end up becoming a cop and instead got into selling drugs.]]
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Niko notes that Dwayne reminds him of himself as another person that grew up in a CrapsackWorld and still has baggage because of it.
* ScaryBlackMan: When not wallowing in his own depression, Dwayne is downright ''terrifying''.
* SelfMadeMan: A dark example. He talks about the apartments full of money he used to have.
* SonOfAWhore: More like Son of a Pimp, but this has contributed to his terrible self-image.
* StopBeingStereotypical: Makes a joke about being a black man who loves fried chicken since Cluckin' Bell is his favorite restaurant.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Suffers heavily from this after getting out of prison, trying to figure out how exactly being a drug dealer and gangster became something that people aspired to do rather than a last resort.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Given that in his youth days the sale of drugs made him a paranoid, angry man, it's pretty obvious that this lifestyle was not his thing.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: A professional version. Dwayne hates dealing drugs, even though it made him rich.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: His reaction to Playboy X's glamorization of being a drug dealer.

Jayvon Smith is a small-time drug dealer with ties to the North Holland Hustlers.
----
* DirtyCoward: He [[TheInformant turned state]] to save his own skin, dated Cherise while Dwayne was doing time, and attempts to flee from Niko on his motorcycle.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: For whatever reason, Jayvon uses character models reserved for the [[TheYardies Hillside Posse]]. As a side effect of this, [[MisplacedAccent he also uses HP dialog]].
