Rockstar has shared new information about the main protagonists and supporting characters of Grand Theft Auto VI. The game will aim to redefine open-world storytelling by introducing a massive, dynamic cast of characters. From the game’s starring pairing of Lucia and Jason, to the vibrant personalities that fill the streets of Vice City and beyond, each character plays an important part in immersing players inside Rockstar’s modern crime epic. In this feature, we dissect everything that’s been revealed about the heroes, their friends and those pesky rivals from across the varied world of Leonida.
Jason and Lucia always knew the game was rigged — they just never realized how deep it went. When their plan for easy cash spirals out of control, the two are thrust into the shadows of America’s brightest city, entangled in a web of crime and corruption that spans the entire state of Leonida. Now, their only shot at survival is to trust no one but each other.
JASON DUVAL
Jason has always chased the idea of an easy life — yet somehow, it keeps slipping further away. Raised in a world of hustlers and lowlifes, he tried to leave his past behind by enlisting in the army, hoping discipline could cleanse what crime had stained. But life had other plans, and the road led him straight to the sun-soaked chaos of the Keys.
These days, he runs jobs for the local smugglers — the kind of work that comes naturally, maybe too naturally. Still, somewhere deep down, he wonders if it’s finally time to break the cycle and start over — for real this time. Crossing paths with Lucia marked a pivotal moment in Jason’s life. Whether it will lead to fortune or disaster remains uncertain, but he’s holding on to hope.
LUCIA CAMINOS
Lucia’s father had her learning to fight almost as soon as she could walk. Since then, life has been nothing but a relentless struggle. In trying to protect and support her family, she found herself behind bars — and only sheer luck allowed her to get out. That experience left a mark: from now on, Lucia vowed to rely on her wits as much as her fists.
Above all else, Lucia is determined to build the life her mother once longed for in Liberty City. No longer content to dream, she’s ready to seize control and make it a reality on her own terms. Freshly released from prison, Lucia was already scheming her next move — and nothing will stand in her way. Maybe teaming up with Jason is the missing piece she’s been searching for to achieve real success.
CAL HAMPTON
Cal, a close friend of Jason and a partner in Brian’s operations, is most comfortable in his own space. You’ll usually find him at home, sipping a beer in one hand while quietly tuning into Coast Guard radio chatter and juggling tabs in a private browser with the other. Cal is perfectly at home near the bottom of the social ladder, where life is simple and predictable. Keeping his paranoia in check is easier with friends around, but Jason, by contrast, isn’t content to settle — he’s always reaching for something bigger.
BOOBIE IKE
Bubbi is a true Vice City icon, and he knows how to command respect. Once a street hustler, he’s now gone legitimate, building a sprawling financial empire that spans real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. Bubbi is friendly and charismatic, but when it comes to business, his smile fades. Though it might seem like he only looks out for himself, that’s far from the truth. He’s teamed up with rising music mogul Dre’Quan through their label, Only Raw Records, and now all that stands between them and success is one big hit.
DRE’QUAN PRIEST
Dre’Quan has always talked a bigger game than he’s played, but the streets never stopped him from chasing his real passion: music. Even hustling drugs just to scrape by, his mind was always on the stage. Now, signed with Real Dimez, he’s ready to dominate Vice City’s music scene. As for Bubbi’s strip club? Looks like someone else will have to handle the bookings while Dre’Quan chases the spotlight.
REAL DIMEZ
Bailux and Roxy, better known as Real Dimez, have been inseparable since their school days. Back then, they were shaking down local dealers for quick cash, but now they’re channeling that street savvy into a real hustle — dropping bold, provocative rap tracks and keeping their fans glued to their social feeds 24/7. Their breakout single with local rapper Downplay pushed Real Dimez to the next level. Five years and a whirlwind of misadventures later, they’ve landed a deal with Only Raw Records, hoping fortune finally tips in their favor.
RAUL BAUTISTA
Raul is a veteran bank thief, constantly scouting for partners ready to risk everything for a massive score. His confidence, charisma, and cunning make him a natural leader. With each new heist, his schemes become bigger and more audacious. Eventually, his crew will have to make the ultimate call: push their luck to the limit or cash out while they still can.
BRIAN HEDER
Brian is a classic Keys drug runner, a relic from the golden days of the trade. He still oversees shipments from his boat dock with his third wife, Lori, but the gritty, hands-on work is now left to others. He let Jason move into one of his properties rent-free — as long as Jason helps shake down the tenants for their dues and stops by every now and then for a glass of Lori’s homemade sangria.
CONCLUSION
Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t just about the chaos of crime — it’s about the people who live and breathe it. From Lucia’s unbreakable determination to Jason’s quiet longing for something better, every character in Vice City tells a story of ambition, loyalty, and survival. Around them, figures like Bubbi, Dre’Quan, and Raul add layers of humanity to a world built on greed and power. Rockstar isn’t just crafting another open-world game; it’s creating a living, breathing ecosystem of personalities whose choices and consequences ripple across Leonida. And when GTA 6 finally launches, it won’t simply be about pulling off heists — it’ll be about the bonds forged and broken along the way. In a world where everyone’s playing their own game, the only question that remains is: who will come out on top when the smoke clears?
