What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Conspired with his AI Cliffford to wipe out humanity with a nuclear war until only he was the sole survivor so he could replace humans with sentient robots in his own dystopian new world. It should be noted that despite his beliefs that his plan will be an evolution, he would have died as the last human because he didn't plan on gathering some humans for breeding purposes.
- Wrongfully framed the Russian terrorist Bogdan for his nuclear conspiracy and made himself look innocent.
- Ordered the Protagonists to infiltrate the NOOSE Headquarters to collect information for Cliffford.
- Sends the Protagonists after Bogdan and ordered them to destroy the Ramius, Bogdan's submarine, to kill him. This action resulted in most of Bogdan's men getting killed.
- Betrayed the Protagonists after Bogdan insisted on his innocence and revealed that Cliffford could finally hack all the systems aboard the Ramius, the IAA and the entire San Andreas defense network, taking control of the US government.
- Had Cliffford initiate the self-destruction sequence of the Ramius to kill the Protagonists and Bodgan so it could erase all incriminatory evidence towards him. Although the Protagonists and Bogdan escaped with their lives, the rest of Bogdan's men still on board perished in the explosion.
- Sends the Cliffford Mercenaries after Agent 14, Phoenicia Rackman and Agent ULP.
- Tried to send a nuclear missile with Cliffford from a secret base on Mount Chilliad.
- Following Cliffford's defeat, despite the AI literally saying he would try to kill Avon, he still tried to escape so he could resurrect Cliffford with his original code despite the threat his traitorous AI presented and having expressed his intentions to kill all humans including himself.
- Although he does care about Cliffford, it's more or less admiring himself as he created Cliffford.
- Though he can be considered an homage to various spy-fiction villains like Hugo Drax and a parody of real-life billionaires, notably Elon Musk, his actions, while over-the-top, are not played for laughs.
- Despite the high Heinous Standards of Grand Theft Auto, Hertz easily stands out as the worst villain in the entire franchise as genocide, let alone omnicide, are extremely unique with only Avon and Cliffford explicitly attempting them. Additionally, being from the HD Universe means he just needs to compete with Dimitri Rascalov and doesn't have to compare to Hans Nemesis, who was implied to also be genocidal.
- And even if he did have to compare with Hans Nemesis, it doesn't affect his Pure Evil status in any way, since he attempted omnicide, not just genocide.
