GTA 6 Characters

In GTA 6, we can expect unique and interesting characters, each of whom plays a special role in the story and side missions. When it comes to the Grand Theft Auto series, it’s safe to say not all of them will be purely positive, since most of the characters—including the protagonists—will likely be connected to the criminal world of Vice City in some way. In this article, we’ve compiled a list of all the people known to LibertyCity at the moment.

As of today, we know for sure that GTA 6 will feature several main characters. Of course, Rockstar has not officially confirmed this yet, but we are considering the trailer and some unofficial information. Moreover, in Rockstar’s previous game, we already had the opportunity to play as multiple protagonists, so this is not a new feature.

The Grand Theft Auto VI trailer introduced two main characters: a European man named Jason and a Latina woman named Lucia, but at the moment we don’t know the protagonists’ last names. Both characters appear to be in their 20s or 30s and are in a romantic relationship. There were earlier rumors that the new GTA’s plot would be inspired by the story of Bonnie and Clyde, and judging by the trailer—where Jason and Lucia commit robberies—these assumptions are likely true.

In addition, the game will most likely feature a character-switching mechanic, just like GTA 5. With it, gamers will be able to switch control between Lucia and Jason at any time or at certain story moments.

Lucia is a former convict with Latin American roots. However, we still don’t know whether she went to prison before the main story begins or if we’ll end up there after completing some missions. One thing is clear: she is a determined gangster, ready to stare danger in the face.

The first shot of the trailer shows Lucia in an orange prison jumpsuit, speaking with a parole officer named Stefanie G. The conversation is brief, but we learn that Lucia does not admit her guilt.

Lucia brings something new to GTA, becoming the first female main protagonist since the original game and the first protagonist from Latin America. Today, her name has gone viral and spread across social media and GTA fan forums around the world.

From an early age, Lucia knew what it meant to fight—her father taught her to defend herself as a child, and since then, struggle has become an integral part of her fate. Wanting to provide for her loved ones, she ended up behind bars, and it was only by a miracle that she managed to get out. This experience was a turning point for Lucia: now she acts with calculation, never letting her emotions take over.

Freedom inspired Lucia to come up with a bold new plan, and she’s ready to go all the way to make it happen. Perhaps it’s her partnership with Jason that will help her achieve what she’s been striving for all along.

Although this has not been officially confirmed yet, the entire GTA fan community is convinced that Lucia’s partner is named Jason. He is the male half of the criminal duo in Grand Theft Auto VI, as well as Lucia’s lover. In the trailer, we mostly see him behind the wheel, which suggests that Jason is an experienced driver.

Since childhood, Jason has been surrounded by con artists and hustlers. Trying to leave his past behind, he joined the army, but after being discharged, he ended up in the Keys, where he was once again drawn into criminal schemes—now working for local drug couriers, doing what he does best. But the thought of change never leaves him, and Jason increasingly dreams of a new beginning.

Life is getting harder every day, even though Jason dreams of simplicity and peace. Meeting Lucia turned his world upside down—it’s still unclear whether this will lead to something better, but he still hopes for a chance to break out of the vicious circle.

We also know little about the voice actor. On fan forums, the name Troy Baker (Troy Edward Baker), famous for his role as Joel in The Last of Us, is mentioned most often. This is especially due to the phrase “Trust,” spoken by the character at the end of the trailer, which fuels speculation about his involvement.

Another “candidate” for Jason’s voice actor is Bryan Zampella, whose name is listed on IMDb in connection with GTA VI. However, there is no official confirmation of this information. Bryan has been seen with developers from Rockstar Games and bears a physical resemblance to Jason.

Brian was once one of the key players in the Keys’ drug market, having witnessed the heyday of underground trafficking. He is still involved in the business: he runs a boat station with his third wife, Lori, but has long since delegated the dirty work to others.

He gave one of his houses to Jason—free of charge, but not for nothing: in exchange for help collecting debts from tenants and regular visits for a glass of Lori’s signature sangria.

Raul is a man who combines charisma, confidence, and insight. He has a wealth of experience in bank robberies, and he never stops looking for fresh blood for the next job.

With each new heist, his plans become bolder and more dangerous. Soon, his partners will face a difficult choice: risk everything for a big score or quit this dangerous craft for good.

Baylux and Roxy, known as Real Dimez, have been friends since their youth. Once, they used to collect debts from local drug dealers, but now they put their tough experiences to use by making money through music—writing provocative rap and never letting their followers get bored, flooding social media with posts day and night.

A joint track with Downplay, another rapper from their neighborhood, brought the girls their first real taste of fame. After going through a series of challenges over five years, Real Dimez finally signed a contract with the Only Raw Records label and now hope for a new wave of success.

Drequan always talked more about gangster life than he actually lived it. Even when selling drugs on the streets to survive, he dreamed not of criminal authority, but of musical success.

Now, having signed a contract with Real Dimez, Drequan is seriously aiming to make a name for himself on the Vice City stage. It seems that very soon, he won’t be the one searching for artists to perform at Bubi’s club anymore.

Bubi is a true icon of Vice City, and he acts according to his status. He is one of the few who managed to get out of street business and build a legitimate financial empire: he owns real estate, a strip club, and his own recording studio. Bubi is always friendly and charming—until business is brought up.

Despite his reputation as someone who only cares about himself, Bubi recently teamed up with ambitious music producer Drequan to launch the Only Raw Records label. Now, the only thing both of them need for success is a real hit.

Cal is an old friend of Jason and Brian’s partner in shady dealings. More than anything, he loves spending time in his cluttered house: listening to coast guard radio chatter, lazily sipping beer, and browsing the internet in incognito mode at the same time.

Cal doesn’t have big ambitions—he’s quite satisfied with being an outsider and living on the fringes of society. It’s easier for him to deal with anxiety when someone like Jason is around, even though Jason clearly dreams of escaping this rut.

Stefanie is a prison guard who can be seen talking to Lucia at the beginning of the GTA 6 trailer. Her name becomes known thanks to the nameplate on her desk. Apparently, Stefanie holds a key position in the Leonida Department of Corrections, which may hint at her influence in the game world.

Although her role may seem secondary, it’s possible she will play an important part in Lucia’s story arc, influencing her fate or providing key information. Stefanie’s voice actress is likely to remain unannounced until the official release of the game, adding intrigue to her possible role.

Given Rockstar’s detailed approach to creating their games, it can be assumed that Stefanie’s character, even as a secondary one, may have a significant impact on the plot or the development of the protagonists. Perhaps her interactions with Lucia will reveal new aspects of the story or raise important questions that influence the course of events.

In the first GTA VI trailer, a social media video was spotted showing a character named Rudi driving a green pickup truck at high speed, leaning out of the driver’s door. An explosion is reflected in the side rear-view mirror. The video was posted by a user with the nickname YouMammazJammer with the comment “RIP Rudi — C U in Heaven, Cuz,” which hints at Rudi’s possible death in this scene.

In one of the shots, we see a prisoner in prison clothes with a fully tattooed face. Here, we can also see a note that thanks to one of the tattoos, the police managed to detain the unnamed criminal.

Fans of the game paid attention to this prisoner and may have found his real-life prototype—a guy from Florida. The real man and his digital version do look similar, but there are differences, as the facial tattoos are quite different. By the way, the Florida Man has already contacted Rockstar and demanded compensation for using his likeness in the first trailer.

Upon close inspection of the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, we can spot a portrait of a criminal from another studio game—Red Dead Redemption—on the door of one of the stores. Whether he will be connected to the main characters in the story or will be given a separate story remains to be seen closer to the release, which will take place in 2026.

***

There are no clear indications of the return of characters from previous games in the first GTA VI trailer. Since the events take place in Vice City, it is possible that some familiar faces from the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will appear in the game, such as Kent Paul—a character voiced by Danny Dyer. However, the likelihood of Tommy Vercetti’s return, the iconic hero voiced by Ray Liotta, is extremely low due to his passing in 2022. This leaves open the question of which characters from previous installments may appear in the new game.
