— Kenny Petrovic, when a multiplayer mission is done.

Kenny Petrovic (Russian: Кенни Петрович) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto IV's Multiplayer.

History[]

Background[]

Kenny Petrovic was born in Russia and went to Liberty City for criminal purposes. His father fought the Germans at Stalingrad in WWII, and had not given up to the Germans, but is believed to be dead. His mother appears to be alive and well, and is living in Liberty City, enjoying what America has to offer. When Kenny first arrived, all his income came from shipping American cars back to Russia. After some time in America, he formed his own organization and he became one of the biggest Russian crime bosses in America, if not the biggest. In the meantime another organization was created by Mikhail Faustin.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV[]

The two Russian Mafia organizations seemed at peace, but after Faustin sent Niko Bellic to kill Kenny's son Lenny Petrovic, suspecting him to be a rat, Kenny wanted war with Faustin. Faustin wasn't afraid of Petrovic, and he again sent Niko to steal a truck of explosives and arm it in a Petrovic-owned garage, destroying it. Petrovic was prepared for war, but Faustin's second-in-command Dimitri Rascalov wanted to make peace. This deal included Niko killing Faustin. Niko did so and Petrovic didn't eliminate the Faustin Family but instead made an alliance with them. Kenny has several mistresses and girlfriends behind his wife's back. His goons are sent across the city to destroy hot dog stands for his Kosher girlfriend and are forced to escort his mistresses to safe areas away from Petrovic's wife when she discovers his secret lover. He despises the Angels of Death, sending a squad of his gangsters to raid a drug deal they made and sending a goon to destroy the chapter leader's bike, Sexy Charlie. They also blew up one of Kenny's meth labs. His favorite stripper, Juliet was fired for assaulting her manager. Kenny has various alliances with people from all over Liberty City, including Rami Yalon, Gordon Sargent, Little Jacob and Brucie Kibbutz. His last name sounds different during the game.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer[]

America, it is good to be back.
— Kenny Petrovic being picked up by his Petrovic Mafiya goons at the airport.

Shortly after the deaths of Jimmy Pegorino, Dimitri Rascalov and Ray Bulgarin, Kenny Petrovic arrives in the United States. During the mission Hangman's NOOSE, as soon as he arrives at Francis International Airport, he is surrounded by NOOSE enforcers. He offers some of his goons cash if they take him to Charge Island in safety.

On another occasion, during the mission Deal Breaker, Petrovic hires some of his goons to disrupt a meeting between unspecified Mafia members and the Angels of Death biker gang, who are smuggling drugs into Liberty City from Canada.

In the mission Bomb Da Base II, Petrovic informs his goons that the Albanian Mob has been shipping stolen cars out of the country by boat without his permission, mentioning that this highly profitable "business" was his only source of income when he first arrived in America. His hired goons work together in order to bomb the Platypus, a ship used to smuggle the stolen cars.

Kenny also appears in the multiplayer missions Mafiya Work and Team Mafiya Work. In these missions, the player must obey Petrovic's orders, protect him from rival mobsters and take care of Kenny's "Black List." He also gives orders to players in Car Jack City and Team Car Jack City by having mercenaries steal cars off his wishlist and bring cars loaded with drugs.

Trivia[]

  • Interestingly, in the game files there is a model of Frickie Van Hardenburg despite him not appearing in the game. He has dialogue, such as "I am Kenny Petrovic!", indicating that he may have been the original model for Kenny.
  • "Kenny" is not a Russian name, and Petrovic is a very uncommon Russian surname. It is, however, very common in former Yugoslav countries. "Petrovic" does exist in the Russian language (it is a patronymic, meaning "son of Peter"), and Kenny exists as an Anglicized version of the Russian name Konstantin.
  • In the Spanish version of the game, Petrovic's database entry lists two arrests for homicide and blackmail, instead of manslaughter and racketeering.
