Description
Background:
Vladimir “Vlad” Glebov (Russian: Владимир Глебов) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series in Grand Theft Auto IV. Appearing as the first antagonist in the first half of the storyline and a cameo character in The Lost and Damned.
Vlad was a senior member of the Faustin Family operating in Hove Beach, a community in Liberty City with predominantly Eastern European residents. He made his income from loan sharking and racketeering in Broker, initially targeting weak Russians to intimidate. He was the owner of Comrades Bar, where he often carried out orders to those he employed. Vlad was also a frequent cocaine user, which was usually supplied to him by his boss, Mikhail Faustin. His demise occurred when Niko Bellic arrived in Liberty City. Niko was the cousin of Roman Bellic, whom was in debt to Vlad. Niko murdered Vlad after finding out he had been sleeping with Roman’s girlfriend, Mallorie Bardas.
Vladimir Glebov was born in 1967 in Russia. His early life during his childhood and adolescence is unknown, although it is stated that he has a sister. During the late-1980s, Vlad affiliated himself with two Russian mobsters: Mikhail Faustin and Dimitri Rascalov, and possibly served in Faustin’s organization as an enforcer for a while.
Vlad was a character I hated from the moment I first saw him, and I’m sure many other people can agree with that. It was satisfying watching his death after a few missions as well lol. Now even though he was killed off in GTA IV, he is now back in GTA V!
He has his original textures that have been upscaled using an app called Upscayl. This was mentioned to me by a user named Tay Mackenzie and I cannot thank them enough!
He has facial animations that match GTA V’s base npc models. However, he does not have cutscene facial animations as that is a bit tougher to make. I suggest using a mod called Character Swap if you choose to use him for missions or cutscenes.
