Savo

 is a character in Midnight Club II.

Background
Savo is the World Champion and the final challenger in Midnight Club II. He has been a World Champion for years. Since no one was able to beat him, Savo yearns to be beaten by a challenger. A person of Slavic descent, he is a very tough man and has apparently died twice already, possibly due to being in the military and sustaining multiple injuries as shown by his eyepatch and scars.

Savo gives six races to the player to prove that they are World Champion material, two in each city. After the player wins the championship, Savo rewards them with his car, the Veloci (similar to a Saleen S7). He also seems relieved that he has been freed of the burden of being the world champion street racer.

He has a tendency to call the player "asswipe" if they face him with a bike, occasionally makes fun of the player, but sometimes encourages them.

Savo is possible of Russian descent, as he speaks with a Russian accent and sometimes does the countdown in Russian during his first race in Tokyo.

Savo is voiced by Alex Kroll (Vitali Baganov), who is also the voice of Ray Bulgarin and also a random pedestrian in Grand Theft Auto IV, another Rockstar game.
