“Harold wants you to take out a pill pushin' racecar driver by the name of Poundage Fern. He's got muscle looking out for him though. Take them out first.”

— The Cartwright Gang Contact about Poundage Fern.

Poundage Fern is a minor character appearing in Grand Theft Auto: London 1961.

History

Background

In 1961, Poundage Fern owns a garage in Central Battersea and drives a Ferocious 312. In the years leading up to 1961, Fern has been an up-and-coming Formula One racecar driver, also earning many trophies in illegal street races. However, Fern also had dealings with the criminal underworld of London, and he also moonlighted as a pill-pusher.

Events of Grand Theft Auto: London 1961

Unfortunately for Fern, he has incurred the wrath of at least two London mob bosses, not least Harold Cartwright of the Cartwright Gang, who sends the GTA London Protagonist to take out Fern for good. However, at Fern's garage, the protagonist is met with six other enforcers from rival outfits, who are also looking for Fern, but the protagonist kills them all. He then obtains a Rocket Launcher and goes after Fern, blowing him up in another car in which Fern was preparing to race.

The protagonist then takes part in the street race in place of Fern, pretending to be him, winning the race and earning his trophy. The protagonist finally presents Fern's car and racing trophy to Harold Cartwright at his hideout.

Influence

The name Poundage Fern is probably a parody of real-life racing driver Stirling Moss (Pound Sterling being the British currency, and fern and moss being plants).
