Jach Priboi is a middle-aged arms dealer and an old acquaintance of David Jones.

Involvement[]

IGI 1[]

Jach kidnaps his nephew Josef to double-cross with Ekk. He is captured by Jones in IGI 1 during mission 6, "Get Priboi", but is later taken back by Ekk in mission 7, "Border Crossing". Eventually, in mission 9, Jones hijacks a train and captures him once again. Ekk’s goal for kidnapping Jach was to assess the threat posed by IGI. Later, Priboi provides Jones with crucial information about a nuclear bomb held by Ekk, which ultimately leads to the bomb’s defusal and Ekk’s death at the hands of Jones.

IGI 2[]

Following the Russian debacle, Jach relocates his illegal arms trade to Libya. He is soon captured by Libyan Intelligence for the same reasons as before. During his captivity, he unexpectedly encounters David, who intends to rescue him. Jach is arrested along with Jones, but they manage to escape in a surprise attack. Throughout the mission, Jach assists David in every way possible, eventually recovering his critical trade documents and killing Major Zaleb Said in the process, avenging himself. In gratitude, Jach informs Jones that Robert Quest is expecting a Soviet Ekranoplane at Port Bur Safaga in Egypt.

Quotes[]

  • "That thieving son of a camel! Zaleb has taken all my files! I will show him what happens when somebody steals from Jach Priboi! I'll take it all back from his dead hand!"
  • "Funny. You will help me, and get your data back too. Major Said has an air base; he's probably taken my stores there — along with my helicopter. Get me my chopper and we'll both get what we want."
  • "Relax, Jones. I'm a veteran pilot."
  • "You do have other things to worry about, Jones. I need you to ride shotgun for me. We're going to go call on the Major — I want my papers back! Once we are there, we can deal with Zaleb Said once and for all."
  • "It's all here! Now I can go about my business again. Although, perhaps not in Libya for a while..."
  • "Ok, ok, give me a second... ah! Here we are. Port Bur Safaga on the Red Sea, delivery at Pier 3 three days from now. The port was chosen because they are bringing some cargo by sea. They are smuggling something, perhaps? I didn't bother to ask."
  • "What, you don't need old Jach anymore? Ah, it's okay. It's against my ethics to attack customers."

Trivia[]

  • In IGI 1, he is mentioned to be 45 years old.
  • In the outro cutscene of the IGI 1 mission Defend Priboi, Jach carries an AK-47, but in the actual mission, he uses a Jackhammer. It’s possible that his Jackhammer runs out of ammo during the mission, and he picks up an AK-47 dropped by the enemy.
  • If Jach is executed in the IGI 2 mission Libyan Rendezvous, he will drop an AK-47, which is strange since he is supposed to be unarmed.
