James "Jimmy/Peg" Pegorino is one of the three secondary antagonists (alongside Billy Grey and Ray Boccino) of the Grand Theft Auto IV trilogy.
He serves as the secondary antagonist of the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV, the eleventh installment of the Rockstar Games's Grand Theft Auto franchise and first installament of HD universe series.
In his characterisation, he was an over-ambitious mob boss and the leader of the Pegorino Crime Family upon taking over from his father after the latter's passing. He is looked down upon by the Liberty City based Mafia organizations, and he is unable to get a seat on The Commission. Towards the end of the game, Pegorino later gets involved in a major gangland collusion with Russian crime lord Dimitri Rascalov.
He was voiced by Tony Patellis.
What Makes Him A Hate Sink?[]
- It is shown he dosen't care for his son at all, because he confirmed that he beat him until his son committed suicide, and he also abused Anthony who is his own bodyguard.
- And his lack of care for Anthony is shown when he has Niko unplug Anthony's life support where there were cops supervising Anthony.
- He is extremeley arrogant, as he thinks he can get on the comission despite his stupidity and incompetence.
- It's shown he dosen't care for his wife at all, since he admitted he would have rather ran off to another woman.
- He dosen't care for his men at all, especially Niko Bellic and Phil Bell, because he treats them like garbage, and he didn't sympathise when Marco and Pete (2 made men who are just as stupid as him) died, saying that: "These kids come and go".
- He also dosen't care for his late father, saying that "he didn't have the balls to bring the family to the level i got it to", when in fact, Jimmy bareley did anything because of his incompetence.
- Although he said "God rest his soul", it's hard to tell if he meant it or not.
- He has moments of pure stupidity:
- He had Niko Bellic kill Ray Boccino on the assumption that the latter was a police informant without any evidence. This meant that Pegorino lost his crime family's top earner.
- He hired random criminals like Luca Silvestri, Johnny Barbosa and Joe DiLeo without screening them which contributed to them trying to steal the diamonds.
- He talked plans in his office without checking for wiretaps.
- He accepted meeting the Pavano family in an isolated ransacked area which turned out to be a trap. The only reason Pegorino survived was because Niko saved him by killing the Pavano family mobsters.
- He accepted a heroin deal with Dimitri Rascalov not knowing it was a trap.
- When Niko and Phil manage to escape with their lives with the money in the Deal Ending, Pegorino only celebrates that he got the money instead of being concerned over the fact that Dimitri betrayed Niko and Phil. To make things worse for Pegorino, he never retaliates against Dimitri and instead ends up betraying Niko by allowing Rascalov to sent an assassin at Roman's wedding, which ended up with his cousin death. After doing all of this, he looks visibily dumbfounded when Rascalov kills him despite the latter's obvious treachery.
- He was so stupid and inept as a crime boss that even the Commission thought he was a "fat f--king joke" as lampshaded by Niko in the Revenge Ending.
- During the Revenge Ending, Jimmy taunts Niko about Kate's death, saying "I'd clip that b**ch again if I had the chance."
- His despicable crimes left a huge impact, so much so that many of the events of GTA4 LAD were indirectly caused by him because Ray Boccino was his Capo.
- While he does get angry at Dimitri for betraying him, it is only because he thought that he "was on the top".
- In the end, he died because he was too stupid to see that Dimitri was gonna stab him in the back.
