GTA 6 Characters Guide: Main Protagonists & Full List

On this page, you find a full guide to all known information about GTA 6 characters and protagonists so far.

As they get confirmed, this page will be kept up-to-date with the full list of GTA 6 Characters, including all Protagonists, Antagonists, Companions, Strangers, and more.

GTA 6 Characters: Main Protagonists

For GTA 6, Rockstar Games decided to continue the trend of multiple playable characters that started with Grand Theft Auto V.  

In GTA 6 there are two main protagonists: a male called Jason Duval, and for the first time in the series, a female called Lucia Caminos.

Lucia, the female Latina protagonist, is the first playable woman in modern Rockstar history. The two characters are in a relationship, in a story that is influenced by the Great Depression-era bank-robbing couple, Bonnie and Clyde.

Like GTA V, GTA 6 will feature a character switch mechanic that you can use at any time to change between Jason and Lucia by pressing "Down" on the D-Pad.

Jason Duval

Performer / Actor: Dylan Rourke (unconfirmed)

Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder. Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new. Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell.

Lucia Caminos

Performer / Actor: Manni L. Perez (unconfirmed)

Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson — only smart moves from here. More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands. Fresh out of prison and ready to change the odds in her favor, Lucia’s committed to her plan — no matter what it takes.

Supporting GTA 6 Characters

Below you find details on other supporting characters who play a prominent role in the story of Grand Theft Auto VI.

Boobie Ike

It's all about heart — the Jack of Hearts. Boobie is a local Vice City legend — and acts like it. One of the few to transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio — Boobie's all smiles until it's time to talk business. Boobie might seem like he's just out for himself, but it's his partnership with the young aspiring music mogul Dre'Quan for Only Raw Records that he's most invested in — now they just need a hit.

Brian Heder

Performer / Actor: Stephen Root (Unconfirmed)

Looks like a Leonida beach bum - moves like a great white shark. Brian's a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, Brian's been around long enough to let others do his dirty work. Brian’s letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties — so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori’s sangria once in a while.

Cal Hampton

Performer / Actor: Bobby Moynihan (unconfirmed)

Jason’s friend and a fellow associate of Brian’s, Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open. Cal is at the low tide of America and happy there. Casual paranoia loves company, but his friend Jason has bigger plans.

Dre'Quan Priest

Only Raw... Records Dre'Quan was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal. Now that he's signed the Real Dimez, Dre'Quan's days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene.

Raul Bautista

Experience counts. Confidence, charm, and cunning — Raul’s a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards. Raul's recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table. Life is full of surprises, my friend. I think we'd all be wise to remember that

Bae-Luxe

She is one half of the hip-hop group Real Dimez, along with Roxy. Friends since high school - they know how to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence. An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now, after five years and a whole lot of trouble, they’re signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice.

Lori Heder

Lori is Brian’s third wife and works alongside him at the boat yard. She is also shown handling both an assault rifle and a pistol, suggesting she’s comfortable with weapons.

Phil

Phil appears in an Ammu-Nation commercial in Trailer 2. He seems to be a reimagined version of Phil Cassidy from the 3D Universe GTA games, though with noticeable differences — this character is younger and has both arms, unlike the original Phil Cassidy.

Roxy

She is one half of the hip-hop group Real Dimez, along with Bae-Luxe. Friends since high school - they know how to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence. An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now, after five years and a whole lot of trouble, they’re signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice.

Stefanie

She appears to work at the "Leonida Department of Corrections" state prison as a social worker. She’s the first voice heard in GTA VI, speaking at the start of Trailer 1. Stefanie is seen in her office talking to Lucia, who at the time is incarcerated at the prison. Her future involvement with Lucia is unclear.
