Brucie Kibbutz
In Liberty City, nobody's perfect. Indeed, it's the deeply flawed, self-aware nature of Niko Bellic that makes him such a compellingly tragic figure. For Niko's juiced-up lunatic buddy Brucie Kibbutz, though, it's his apparent obliviousness to his own shortcomings that makes him so awesome, and a guy we most definitely would like to party with.
Even if Brucie didn't have ready access to helicopters, fast cars, hot, perpetually pissed-off broads, and the classiest auto garage in Broker, his steroid-fueled enthusiasm could shake us out of the dourest of genocide-induced moods. Whenever we couldn't come up with anything to do on a Friday night, we'd just call up Brucie, knowing that we'd end up competing in some sketchy-ass illegal street race, lifting weights, injecting ourselves full of bull shark testosterone, and generally keeping it dangerously alpha.

Ethan Thomas
This dude's crazy. Partying with this guy would lead to one of those seat-of-your-pants nights where you're never sure if you're going to meet a bunch a sexy ladies, punch walls until you're sure that there aren't any demons hiding inside them, or both.

This guy rolls around in an armored vehicle, complete with a monkey and a working soda machine. Nothing pulls chicks quite like a monkey and a working soda machine.
