User blog:Joaco34215/Pathetic Pinhead proposal - Brian Jeremy

Well I don't know if anyone is going to see this as this wiki seems to be very abandoned, but I want to make a proposal to this guy as it fits Pathetic Pinhead's criteria very well. Anyway, let's get to the point: Brian Jeremy from Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost And Damned.

What's the work?
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost And Damned is the first expansion for Grand Theft Auto IV. It is about Johnny Klebitz, a biker from the band The Lost MC, his rise and subsequent fall. On the way he will have to face several obstacles, such as Billy Grey or Brian Jeremy himself, the man we are going to talk about in question.

Who's Brian Jeremy and what does he do?
Brian appears in the first mission of the game, where, along with the whole gang, they go looking for Billy, the leader of the gang, who has just come out of rehab for his drug addiction. After picking up Billy, they head to the gang's club, where they celebrate the leader's return. Soon, Billy begins to argue with Johnny about his motorcycle, as Johnny had sold Billy's motorcycle to the Angels of Death, the rival gang, to quell hostilities. Brian gets into the discussion and starts to show off his nasty features, defending Billy and telling Johnny that he told him earlier that they must have taken Billy's motorcycle, which caused Johnny to yell at him in the face saying that he didn't said nothing, making Brian freak out, while Billy defended him. Soon, the gang finally decides to take back Billy's motorcycle, causing the gang's peace treaty with the Angels of Death to be completely broken.

He also appears in the second mission of the game, where he helps the gang kill the Angels Of Death, who had come to discuss why the Lost had broken the truce between them, and they did not come armed or anything like that. Billy simply ordered them all to be killed just because they had interrupted his "party", something that displeased Johnny but charmed Brian.

In the next mission, Brian helps the gang take down the Angels Of Death who had ambushed several of the Lost. In this mission, Brian makes fun of Johnny more often, stating that he doesn't know how to fight, that he is a "pussy" and that he should learn from Billy, even though Brian hardly even participated in the shooting. He also expresses racist points at the end of the mission, as when Billy reports on the death of Jason Michaels, who was killed by an Eastern European, Brian says he was a "F*cking polack" and when Billy tells him that he believes that He was Serbian, Brian says that they are all "f*cking Slav scumbag" and that they are all the same. Then they give Jason a minute of silence. Then Billy promises to find Jason's killer before leaving the place.

In the next mission, Billy orders the gang that they are going to "visit someone". When Johnny tells Billy not to do anything silly, Billy tells him that he should get a Colon cleanse, which Brian laughs at. As a side note, possibly Brian fart as they leave the Lost clubhouse. When they arrive at the visiting location, it is revealed that Billy is actually planning to attack the Angels Of Death clubhouse, as, according to him, they were the ones who actually killed Jason, not an Eastern European (although the one who have played the original Grand Theft Auto IV will know this is a lie). Anyway, Brian, as always, supports Billy in this and they attack the Angels Of Death clubhouse, killing many of its members. When the shooting ends, Billy steals the heroin that the Angels Of Death had hidden, much to Johnny's dismay, but Brian, as always, defends Billy tooth and nail, to the point where even Billy himself gets tired of Brian and tells him to shut up. Billy then orders Brian to take the heroin, which he does without question.

In the mission "Buyers Market", Brian has to deliver the heroin that had been stolen from the Angels of Death to Johnny for a drug deal with someone named Charlie (who is actually an undercover cop). Brian wonders why Billy would choose Johnny over him, to which Johnny tells Brian that any thief in town would realize how useless he is. Johnny takes the heroin and leaves the place.

After the deal goes awry, in the mission "This Shit's Cursed", Brian gets mad at Jim Fitzgerald for arguing with Billy. Johnny arrives, and the three of them argue about what to do with the heroine, since in reality the heroine belonged to the Chinese Triad of Liberty City, a very powerful mafia in the city. Jim suggests that they should sell the heroin to the Triads, to which Johnny agrees. Billy looks at Brian, who surprisingly seems to agree too, and Billy finally gives in to the request. They go to the place of the agreement, and Billy tells Johnny and Jim to go make the deal while he and Brian stay to guard the entrance. In reality, Billy planned to betray them. Johnny and Jim are ambushed by the triads, starting a shootout in which both Johnny and Jim survive. However, Billy is arrested while claiming that Johnny has betrayed him. Johnny and Jim head over to Brian, and the three head to Lost's clubhouse. However, if losing the gang leader wasn't bad enough, Brian foolishly claims that Johnny was the one who betrayed Billy, despite being the opposite, and asks Johnny to show his cell phone to prove that he spoke to The authorities. Johnny obviously refuses and walks away from Brian, while Brian tells him to stay away from the gang.

In the mission "End of Chapter", Brian wants to make a truce with Johnny, Jim, Terry Thorpe and Clay Simmons to end the hostilities between them. Johnny knows this is a trap, but decides to go to the place together with his companions to kill him. Upon arriving at the scene, Brian begins to whimper, saying that Billy was good to them and they betrayed him despite it. Johnny tells him that he was dumber than he thought, to which Brian imitates Johnny in a very, VERY immature way. Brian also insults him for his Jewish heritage and then orders the remaining half of the gang to kill Johnny, Jim, Terry and Clay, while he fled the shooting instead of fighting to the end. Fortunately, Johnny and company manage to survive. This finally starts a civil war in the gang.

Later, Ray Boccino, a city gangster, recently got in touch with Brian. Brian believes that Ray is on his side and reveals his location. However, Ray, who wanted to end the civil war in the gang, reveals Brian's location to Johnny and company (a house that looks more like a pigsty). Johnny goes to Brian's house and kills all of his men. He turns to Brian, who, instead of facing his death with dignity, begins to beg cowardly for his life, telling Johnny not to kill him. Brian promises Johnny that he will leave town if he forgives him. The game gives you the option to kill him or let him live. If you kill him, Johnny tells him to behave like a man and shoots him in the chest, killing him. Instead, if he forgives him, Brian runs out of the place. Johnny claims that he was too pathetic to kill him.

But that is not all. If Johnny forgives him, he will reappear in a random encounter. Johnny told him to get out of town, but Brian asks Johnny to forgive him and that he was just following the leader's orders. Later, he tells Johnny that if he forgives him, he will help him save the club and now he will leave town. Johnny reluctantly agrees, but warns Brian that if he betrays him again, he will kill him. Brian takes him to the place. Actually, as Johnny expected, it turned out to be a trap, and Brian orders a group of people to kill Johnny. Johnny kills everyone at the scene and proceeds to chase Brian, who is trying to get away from Johnny. Johnny catches up with him and eventually kills him, ending the traitor for good.

Immorality?
He supports Billy in his plans, which are generally detrimental to the gang, such as breaking the peace treaty with the Angels of Death, stealing the heroine from the triads, etc. He is also a complete traitor, as he betrays Johnny after believing (foolishly) that Johnny had betrayed Billy, starting a civil war in the gang and escaping the shootings instead of fighting to the end. Even if Johnny forgives him, Brian will betray him again and try to kill him in an ambush. So yeah, he's immoral.

Cowardice/Stupidity?
Oooh boy. If you thought Percy Wetmore or Joffrey Baratheon were idiots, Brian makes those two look like Einstein by comparison. To begin with, always, ALWAYS supports Billy in everything he says and does, no matter how harmful and damaging it is to the gang, constantly annoying Johnny for the most pathetic and insignificant reasons, rarely (if ever) participates In some shootout with the gang, he foolishly believes that Johnny betrayed Billy even though it was very obvious that it was Billy who had betrayed them, he starts a civil war in the gang only to kill Johnny under this suspicion, and begins to beg cowardly for his life when Johnny has him at gunpoint. Even if Johnny forgives him, Brian betrays him and tries to kill him again, running away like a coward when he fails. He is very easy to manipulate and exploit, as Billy manipulates him to be against Johnny. In general, I dare say that Brian is easily one of the most idiotic characters, not only in video games, but in all fiction in general, and that is saying a lot.

Do you want to know the worst? The guy is 39 years old. He is 39 years old, and he behaves like a preschool boy.

Lack of Charisma
He is a fool who, as I said before, is very easy to manipulate. To be honest, it is surprising that he managed to form his own gang against Johnny after Billy's arrest, they were possibly as much of Billy's followers as Brian himself.

Hateability
He is an incredibly irritating and obnoxious bastard who always opposes Johnny for the most insignificant reasons, is excruciating in every scene he appears in, betrays Johnny in the middle of the game, and is a coward who rarely faces his own problems. Not to mention that he is also an anti-Semitic racist, as he uses the term "Polack" when he talks about Jason's (Niko) murderer, he refers to the Chinese as "yellow" and insults Johnny because of his Jewish heritage. Needless to say, killing him is incredibly satisfying.

As a side note, Brian was previously in categories like Scapegoat, Insecure, and Mischievous. However, I took it out of those categories, why? for several reasons.

Scapegoat: At no time is it played for sympathy. His death was fully deserved as he was a deplorable and treacherous bastard for basically the entire game, and even if his life is spared, he will attempt to kill the protagonist, demonstrating his utterly thankless nature.

Insecure: As I said before, at no time is it played for sympathy. If he were insecure, he wouldn't be a two-faced hypocrite who would betray anyone to save his own skin.

Mischievous: he never played for laugh. All his scenes are reproduced to make it as detestable and unbearable as possible. The only (more or less) funny moment about him is when he imitates Johnny in a very immature way, but even then, he is still very despicable, since that scene happens when he is about to betray Johnny.

Final Verdict
I give a BIG yes.
