History[]
Events of Grand Theft Auto IV[]
Kleinman is a magician who appears with his assistant Laurel in the Perestroika cabaret.
The pair were apparently once romantically involved and seem to have had a bitter break-up and Kleinman constantly insults her during their performances and their act seems to disguise an ever-escalating war of physical abuse against one another. This starts with their first performance when Kleinman is levitating Laurel when he is distracted by a heckler and drops her. He states she was made a quadriplegic, although the Perestroika MC will try and downplay this, suggesting she may only have been paraplegic.
In their next performance, a seemingly unaffected Laurel prematurely pulls a guillotine blade onto Kleinman's arm, causing a severe laceration. Kleinman retaliates in their next appearance by "accidentally" throwing a knife into her shoulder. Kleinman then has his groin cut by a table saw, followed by being stabbed with a sword and set on fire. In their final act, she shoots him in the head with a pistol at near point-blank range.
His "cheating death" acts did not go very well as the audience and MC become more and more frightened.
He is one of the honored celebrities on the Vinewood Walk of Fame in Grand Theft Auto V.
