The character descriptions below are no-spoiler, not giving away the storyline developments. Clicking on a Character brings you to their detailed profile, with character info, bios, locations, image galleries, voice actors, and more.
GTA V Main Protagonists
GTA 5 is the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series that allows players to switch between three playable protagonists at any time during free roam and missions.
Michael, Franklin and Trevor are distinctly different from each other, with their own attitudes, lifestyles, goals and issues, as well as unique skills and special abilities.
Michael De Santa
Performer / Actor: Ned Luke
Michael is a middle-aged, retired bank robber. After being apparently killed 9 years ago during a past operation with Trevor in North Yankton, Michael made a deal with the FIB and was sent off to live a new life in Los Santos under the disguise of "witness protection".
He now lives in a mansion in Rockford Hills with his dysfunctional family: disrespectful daughter Tracey, lazy son Jimmy, and spendthrift wife Amanda - who all had to change their surname from "Townley" to "De Santa".
Franklin Clinton
Performer / Actor: Shawn Fonteno
Franklin is a young gang member who dreams of becoming big-time in Los Santos, in a world where the glory days of street gangs has long passed.
He works as a repo man for a luxury car dealership, but his ambition makes him tired of the job. He soon crosses paths with Michael De Santa, who takes him under his wing.
Trevor Philips
Performer / Actor: Steven Ogg
The less said about Trevor, the better. A former airman, career criminal, and Michael's old best friend and partner in crime, Trevor is a mentally unstable drug addict, now living in a trailer park full of meth heads and biker gangs in Sandy Shores, Blaine County.
He founded "Trevor Philips Enterprises", which mainly deals with weapons and drugs. He is the designated pilot of the team.
Major Characters
The major characters in the storyline of Grand Theft Auto V. This includes friends, family and associates of the protagonists, plus the main antagonists in the game.
Lester Crest
Performer / Actor: Jay Klaitz
An old friend of Michael, Lester is the mastermind behind the Heists that Michael, Franklin, and Trevor pull off. He also issues assassination missions to Franklin.
Despite Lester's physical disabilities, he makes up for this with genius-level intelligence, masterful expertise in technology and computing, and a sharp eye for detail, which is what makes him an excellent planner for the various heists he has pulled off throughout his life.
Lamar Davis
Performer / Actor: Slink Johnson
Lamar Davis is Franklin's crazy friend, a proud member of The Families, and fellow employee at Deluxe Premium Motorsport.
He frequently bugs Franklin about his attempts at leaving the gang life behind.
Dave Norton
Performer / Actor: Julian Gamble

In reality, Dave struck a deal with Michael, setting him up with a new life in Los Santos, while he received the recognition of killing the highly sought criminal.
Steve Haines
Performer / Actor: Robert Bogue
Steven "Steve" Haines is a highly decorated, yet highly corrupt agent from the FIB. Haines uses his position as Dave Norton's superior to force Michael, Franklin and Trevor into doing his dirty work for him.

Tracey De Santa
Performer / Actor: Michal Sinnott
Tracey De Santa is Michael and Amanda's bratty, fame-obsessed daughter. She has aspirations to become a singer and dancer, but has a very bad relationship with her parents, appearing to be very spoiled, obnoxious, and immature.
Stretch

Wei Cheng
