Events of GTA Liberty City Stories
In 1998 he impersonates a priest in a confession box at the cathedral in Bedford Point and hires Leone Family made man Toni Cipriani to cause chaos in the city. Burner hires Cipriani to kill a federal witness, steal diamonds, create chaos on the city roads in a firetruck and then kill film stars DB-P, Black Lightman and Faith W. for refusing to give an interview to the Liberty Tree newspaper.

Ned Burner later goes to Shoreside Vale where he witnesses the murder of Avery Carrington, committed by Cipriani and Donald Love, who later hires Toni to kill him. Cipriani later steals both Carrington and Burner's corpses, taking them to Love's private jet as an in-flight dinner for Love.
