Avon Hertz

"Thank you, Bogdan; Thank you, Mr. Crest; Thank you, silent psychotic peons, but this, this is where I say arrivederci... no, I mean get ready... I mean, this is where... I'm in charge, me and Clifford. Go f*ck yourself, losers! Yes, losers!"

- Avon Hertz to the Protagonists

"You can't stop progress, you fools! I'm the future! I'm a tidal wave of tsunamis! I cannot be stopped! Clifford cannot be stopped!"

Avon Hertz is a major antagonist in Grand Theft Auto Online, primarily during the events of the Doomsday Heist DLC. Hertz was a billionaire tech mogul who had created the neural supercomputer interface Clifford; He initially appeared to be a person willing to do good, as to stop a nuclear war from occurring that could potentially wipe out humanity. In doing so, he made an alliance with the Protagonist and the International Affairs Agency.

However, as the Heist progresses, it is revealed that Hertz and Clifford were behind the events of the nuclear war, framing foreign terrorists such as the Russians; The Protagonists prevent the nuclear war from occuring and kill Hertz and Clifford while he attempts to escape on his Thruster jetpack, preventing the mass extinction of the human race.

Trivia
