Grand Theft Auto VI has two playable leads: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Rockstar's official site also profiles a supporting cast that includes Cal Hampton, Brian Heder, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Real Dimez and Raul Bautista. The descriptions below paraphrase those official profiles as reported by Pure Xbox and VGC.

The playable leads

Jason Duval is a former Army soldier who was raised around grifters. He now does jobs for drug runners in the Keys.

Lucia Caminos is recently out of Leonida Penitentiary after fighting for her family. She is determined to build a better life.

Both appear in the bonus content too. The pre-order Vintage Vice City Pack includes vintage outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and the Ultimate Edition adds personalized pistols for each of them. See GTA 6 editions and prices for what each edition includes.

The supporting cast

  • Cal Hampton: Jason's friend, a homebody who listens in on Coast Guard radio traffic.
  • Brian Heder: an older smuggler in the Keys who runs a boat yard and lets Jason live rent free in return for help with shakedowns.
  • Boobie Ike: a Vice City figure who turned street life into real estate, a strip club and a recording studio, and co-runs Only Raw Records.
  • Dre'Quan Priest: a former dealer turned music hustler at Only Raw Records who wants to break into the Vice City music scene.
  • Real Dimez: rap duo Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school, newly signed to Only Raw Records.
  • Raul Bautista: a confident, charismatic bank robber who recruits bold talent and keeps raising the stakes.

Several of these characters connect to each other. Cal and Brian are tied to Jason's life in the Keys, while Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest and Real Dimez all link back to Only Raw Records in Vice City.

The cast is spread across the state of Leonida, from the Keys to Vice City. Our GTA 6 map guide covers each region Rockstar has shown.
