Who is Jimmy Pegorino?

Jimmy Pegorino leads an Italian-American crime family in Grand Theft Auto IV. Wikipedia names him as the don of the Pegorino family. The GTA Wiki (gta.wiki) says he was born around 1957 in Alderney, inherited a family the bigger Liberty City mobs looked down on, and spent years trying to win a seat on the Commission.

According to that wiki, his operation is small and under heavy police attention. His key men are Phil Bell and Ray Boccino, and he owns the Honkers strip club in Tudor.

What does Pegorino want from Niko?

Pegorino hires Niko Bellic through Phil Bell. The GTA Wiki lists jobs against the Pavano family and against people he believes are informants. Wikipedia singles out one of them: Pegorino orders Niko to kill Ray Boccino because he suspects Boccino of talking to the police.

His paranoia and his hunger for status lead to the game's last big choice. Wikipedia says he calls Niko in for a final heroin deal with Dimitri Rascalov, the man who betrayed Niko earlier in the story.

What happens to Pegorino in each ending?

The details follow Wikipedia and the GTA Wiki. Our Mr. and Mrs. Bellic and GTA IV pages explain how the wedding plays out.

Which missions does Pegorino give?

The GTA Wiki lists "Pegorino's Pride", "Payback", "Flatline", "Pest Control" and "One Last Thing" as his jobs, followed by "If the Price is Right" in the Deal path. See our GTA IV missions guide for the order.

Who voices Jimmy Pegorino?
