Tahir Javan (Azerbaijani: Tahir Cavan) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto V.
History[]
Background[]
Javan was born in Azerbaijan and moved to the United States at the age of thirteen, eventually settling in Chumash, just outside Los Santos. Javan became a businessman, making his fortune in the green energy sector, and funded several education initiatives both in the United States and Azerbaijan.
However, the International Affairs Agency and Federal Investigation Bureau both believe that Javan is linked to terrorist organizations.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
In an attempt to find information on Javan, first the IAA and then the FIB kidnap and interrogate Ferdinand Kerimov, a home theater technician who installed equipment at Javan's property in Chumash. Kerimov is tortured by Trevor Philips on the orders of FIB agent Steve Haines. Kerimov eventually leads Michael De Santa and Dave Norton to a hillside overlooking Javan's house, where Javan is hosting a house party for various guests, including four others who look almost identical to him. Initially Javan can be seen preparing lines of coke on a coffee table at the party, and later moves out onto the terrace to smoke.
Following further torture of Kerimov, he eventually gives a detailed description of Javan being heavily bearded, chain-smoking and left-handed. Using this description and a process of elimination of the lookalikes (only one of the other four bearded lookalikes is also smoking, but he uses his left hand), Michael kills Javan with a Sniper Rifle, causing the party guests to flee in fear.
