Dwayne Forge is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and an optional friend in Grand Theft Auto IV. Dwayne is a former drug kingpin who ruled over North Holland.




Drug empire and prison sentence

Between 1988 and 1999, Dwayne ran a crack cocaine empire. Dwayne claimed that he made $50,000 per week and "had apartments full of money - entire apartments stuffed with bank notes!". Because of his connections, Dwayne had more pure product than anybody in Algonquin at that time. He was living the dream as a teenager, riding high as a drug lord. However, with his new success also came problems. A lot of people were jealous of Dwayne because of his fast money and street fame. This caused Dwayne to constantly seem very distant and to only remain close to a few people. Two of those people closest to him were his girlfriend Cherise Glover, who he describes as "the love of my fucking life", and Playboy X, his prodigy. Dwayne stated that he wanted to start a nice family and have children, but believed his drug dealing and prison stint had prevented it. Dwayne also invested in the adult entertainment business and bought The Triangle Club in Bohan, and a couple of porno shops in Liberty City and Alderney City.

In the late 90s following a tip from an informant, Jayvon Simson - who would also steal his girlfriend in the next few years - Dwayne was arrested and sent to prison. Dwayne ran the gang from prison at first, also providing his girlfriend Cherise "cars, houses, apartments, bank accounts, everything!" while inside. Dwayne was placed on suicide watch for much of his prison sentence, continuing to express some suicidal thoughts when released.


Events of GTA IV

Release from prison


Rebuilding Life


At first, he asks Niko to kill Jayvon, the man who stole Dwayne's money and girlfriend. Niko finds him and Cherise, and chooses whether or not to kill Cherise before chasing and murdering Jayvon. Niko meets up with Dwayne at Cluckin' Bell, and gives him the money back.

Later, Dwayne tells Niko about his former gentleman's club, The Triangle Club. Niko goes to the strip club and kills the Trunchez Brothers for Dwayne, allowing him to retake control. This angers Playboy X as the Trunchez brothers were business associates of his.


The Holland Play


If Niko chooses to kill Dwayne, Niko will respectfully tell Dwayne that it's "nothing personal". Forge accepts his fate in sorrow, turning his back to Niko and calling him "fake, just like the rest of them!". Niko then shoots Dwayne in the back of the head while turned away, killing him with visible regret. Playboy pays Niko, but, in apparent denial, calls him "cold" for assassinating his old mentor, and the two never speak again.

Dwayne is the fifth and final friend you will make within Grand Theft Auto IV, excluding the 3 girlfriends that can be made friends with before or after. If he is spared in The Holland Play, Dwayne will send Niko an email. If the player responds positively, he will become a friend.

He is available between 3:00PM and 1:00AM.

The possible activities with Dwayne are: Drinking, Eating, Bowling, Seeing a show (Perestroika or Split Sides) or going to a Strip Club. He likes classy places like the Superstar Café, however still loves Cluckin' Bell. His nightspot preference is Club Liberty in Northwood, Algonquin. Dwayne likes The Classics as well as Beat 102.7 for radio stations while driving around.

Dwayne does not like it when you drive too fast. He highly dislikes helicopters, so it is advised not to pick him up with one. However he likes the NRG 900 very much, so if you have one and you are skilled with it, pick him up in one.


Getting Dwayne's 'like' percentage over or equal to 90% counts towards the "Liberty City (5) achievement / trophy if you were to keep him alive during the mission The Holland Play. If you were to kill him during the mission the achievement / trophy would be easier to accomplish, but you suffer the fact of losing an extra safehouse/car save spot.


Friendship Benefit of Dwayne

When his 'like' percentage is high enough, he will send two goons to back Niko up when requested. One of them carrier with Pistol and the other with Micro-SMG. They will stay close to Niko and start their fire to every threats. Unlike cops, they will not spare their enemies even they already incapacitated on ground.

They will stay with Niko for around 10–15 minutes until he says that he wants to be alone again. If you do not drop them off in about a minute they will bail out of the vehicle. If Niko leave them behind too far away, they will simply disappeared.
