History[]
Background[]
He is a Russian man, mentioned as the uncle of helmsman Pavel.
Like many of Pavel's relatives and friends mentioned during The Cayo Perico Heist, Vlad is a stereotypical/traditional Russian given name.
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]
During the events of The Cayo Perico Heist, his uncle Vlad is occasionally mentioned.
He is first mentioned during the scoping mission, where he first warns the GTA Online Protagonist not to get caught by El Rubio's Private Security, otherwise they'll "gut them like his uncle Vlad preparing fish".
In other preparation missions, Pavel may commonly have an "as my uncle would say..." dialogue, possibly referring to Vlad.
While attacking the O'Neil Brothers during Heist Prep: Demolition Charges, Pavel says his uncle would probably say "Pavel, let cousins be cousins", after which Pavel responds to himself "well, uncle, look where this gets you, huh?", a reference to the O'Neil Brothers usually being referred to as an inbred family.
During the heist finale, if using the plasma cutter, Pavel indirectly mentions that his uncle had an accident with the plasma cutter.
