History
George Novikov was a leading figure in the Koshka Brotherhood and manager of their clubs in Miami. During an investigation, he ran into a cop that used to be on their take, named Joey Quinn. George tried to restart their old relationship with a bribe to Quinn for his help in getting the Kosha's leader out of prison. When Quinn refused, George held his new stripper girlfriend, Nadia, hostage until he complied. Quinn finally took the money and did as he was instructed, which was stealing evidence from the police station. Nadia was then let free, but Quinn wasn't; he was forced to oversee a drug deal at The Fox Hole.

Quinn began to avoid George, and George responded by forcing Nadia to sleep with him. Quinn threatened him as a result. Later, after George shot Isaak Sirko, he got drunk and had sex with Nadia again. Quinn went to The Fox Hole after Nadia called him. At first, George raised his gun to Quinn, but then he put it down. Nadia was brought out and George slapped her. Quinn warned him not to do it again, but George ignored him and hit her again. This was the final straw and Quinn shot him. Afterward, Quinn made it look like George shot first at him him, so the shooting would be ruled justified. Nadia grabbed her passport and fled.

Casualties

 * George Novikov - A member of the Koshka Brotherhood, manager of The Fox Hole, and temporary leader of the Brotherhood.

Fate of Shooters
George was killed by one shot to the chest when he repeatedly slapped Nadia while drunk to antagonize Joey Quinn. Quinn had Nadia fire George's gun to wound him, making it look like his killing of George was done in self-defense. Although Angel Batista was doubtful that it happened that way, he let it go.
