Avon Hertz (Outlaw’s Saga)

Avon Hertz was an egotistic technician billionaire who manufactured and owned CLIFFFORD, a super-intelligent artificial intelligence, whom he treated as his child. Initially believed to be helping in saving the world from potential Russian attacks and doomsday, it is later revealed he was in fact, the man who wanted to cause doomsday. He serves as a hidden antagonist in The Outlaw’s Saga and the hidden true main antagonist of the first half of Season Three of Grand Theft Auto: Renegade.

=== History ===
Sometime before 2017, Avon had manufactured CLIFFFORD, an intelligent A.I., who adopted his egotistic personality and becoming twice as evil. Avon planned to destroy the globe by launching nukes, but in order to do so, he needed data for Cliffford, and therefore, decided to enlist the help of Joel Wallace, Lester Crest, and a small criminal crew in San Andreas to help him attain this data, putting on a guide that they were doing this to save the world (and get paid in Joel and Lester’s perspectives).

=== The Doomsday Scenario and Death ===
After much careful planning, Joel and a small crew finally took the opportunity to infiltrate Avon’s missile base inside Mount Chiliad, where they fight their way through hundreds of Avon and Cliffford’s clones. Avon attempted to try and launch the nukes while the crew were busy, but was having a hard time doing so. The crew had reached the blast door to the control room, which was locked down. Initially showing that Avon had won, Lester tested Cliffford’s pride and arrogance, which prompted the stubborn A.I. to open the blast door and show its abilities, much to Avon’s anger. With only 20 minutes until doomsday, the crew started hacking the controls to shut down the nukes and disable Cliffford for good while Avon tried to convince them that since nuclear annihilation is imminent and they are underground together, they should stop shooting and get used to being accustomed with Avon, but Cliffford refused to let them live with them underground and demanded that all of them die. Eventually, the crew successfully put an end to Cliffford by hacking all of the servers, deleting Cliffford forever and stopping the nuclear launch. The crew chased Avon down to the silo, where he attempted an escape on a Thruster jetpack. The crew gave chase immediately on spare Thrusters. The crew chased after Avon across the mountain, despite there being a heavy presence of support helicopters in Avon’s favor. Finally, one of the crew members successfully shoot down Avon’s Thruster with a guided missile, instantly killing him once and for all.
=== Legacy ===
Avon’s attempt in creating doomsday proved to be fruitless as Cliffford was either deleted forever or whatever remained of it was kept in very secure hands, putting an end to Avon’s evil schemes. His actions and death is brought up to Joel by Bernard in 2022 as a past mention.
