Who Pavel REALLY IS in GTA Online?

Pavel is one of the most respected characters in GTA 5 Online. Unlike some annoying GTA V NPCs Pavel is friendly, helpful, takes just a small fee from Cayo Perico Heist (despite the fact that he runs Kosatka without any crew or help) and the most importantly calls You Kapitan! But there is something about Pavel that You need to know - he is not Russian, I bet he doesn't even speak Russian Language like at all.

So, using algebra, 1 KAPITAN also equals 1 PURR 🐈 Great video. Really made me laugh, especially the voice-over 😆

Vlad from GTA 4 and Pavel are related, during the scope-out, Pavel refers to his Uncle Vlad preparing fish. When you kill the O’Neils to get the demolition charges, Pavel says “my uncle always says to let cousins be cousins. Well, uncle, look where that got you!” Niko and Roman (mostly Niko), cousins, killed Vlad

[@schizoashkov839]

Highly agree with this one, man. Sadly, seems our detailed comments got lowkeyed. GTAOL fans dunno much about the base game lores or just doesn't care at all instead of grinding. Last time I was deploring Lazlow's leaving from R* and his amazing performance back on V-Rock and Chatterbox, they were like isn't he the clown on Fame or Shame? Damn, kids nowadays.

[@CallMeSkillz_]

he also mentions in the heist that the pink diamond is from the libertonian while doing the cayo

[@ESPirits87]

Everything Rockstar does is satire, they've numerous times stated that the character Lacey Jonas isn't associated with Lindsay Lohan and after Lindsay made a lawsuit against Rockstar for the cover girl inspiration they even mentioned the lawsuit in one of Lacey Jonas missions. Rockstar are biggest trolls.

[@ferdenmat6179]

It is not a theory, it is a fact for the Russian people, we are taught that way in school pronunciation.

[@schizoashkov839]

Pavel's voice actor is surely not Russian. But as for the character itself, I dunno if you've played other GTA titles (HD Universe not 3D Universe), Vlad mentioned he has a nephew working in submarine in GTA4, might be a coincidence. Moreover Simply judging from a character's accent does not imply its true nationality cuz of the voice actor's limited-proficiency. For instance, Niko Bellic was voiced by Michael Hollick an American, tho we could tell there's flaw in his acting, but undeniablly Niko the character is an official Serbian scripted by R*, also like Marcel in RDO who terribly pronounces "I have some ideas" like German is French, same logic applies to Pavel too. Ppl should be focusing on the lore of the GTA universe R* created, not the irl sidekicks.

[@onexghost5888]

During the scope-out, Pavel refers to his Uncle Vlad preparing fish. When you kill the O’Neils to get the demolition charges, Pavel says “my uncle always says to let cousins be cousins. Well, uncle, look where that got you!” Niko and Roman (mostly Niko), cousins, killed Vlad, so yeah they related

[@ArtisticallyArranged]

This was so interesting and awesome! 🐱 Plus, I didn't know that Steven Ogg was the performance artist for Pavel - he plays Trevor in GTAV too. I have actually often suspected that Roger Clark also plays the homeless man that comes to camp in Red Dead Online too. There are small similarities in their voices.

[@rogueraccoon1840]

Actually it's not Steven ogg it's one of the older voice actors from GTA 4 who voices Pavel not Steven ogg but I forgot exactly who it was

[@slipp3ryslop3]

It's 100% not Steven Ogg, because it's 99.99999999% Jason Zumwalt. I can't give it 100% because technically we don't know, but I'm a musician with perfect pitch. I know what song is playing often before the first note hits because of the way the background static sounds. I NEVER forget a voice, and the first moment I heard Pavel, I knew it was Roman Bellic's voice actor. Just pull up video of Roman's voice lines and listen to them back to back with Pavel's. They are the exact same, down to inflection and syllable stress. Jason Zumwalt was born in Arizona so it lines up with Cat's assertions as well.

Pavel may have learned different accents all over the world because he was a smuggler. Thus having some changes on his accent.

Hey PVPCat this video was awesome! Pavel is my favorite NPC hands down and I loved hearing all that info and insight on his character. One thing though is when you say he's not Russian I was expecting you to say he was Ukrainian or from some other Eastern European or Baltic state. You're just saying that he's more of a Russian caricature, right?
