Darren Gover 

Commonly found in GTA 5. His main task is to end your life! From doing his paper round at 6 in the morning; to having a coffee with no milk at night, you best hope you keep his needs satisfactory otherwise he may just do a T- 20 countdown on you with a otherwise demeaning full HK- 300 Tank! Question fives are his only weakness as he is never given them in the exam which he is not allowed to sit down in back of the lack of seats in the freezing cold hall...
Calum: “Hey Darren Gover, here is what I promised ya!”
Darren: “THEIR IS NO MILK IN MY COFFEE!”
Calum: “Well, isn’t that a Big Fat Bummer....”
