GTA 6 Character Guide: Main Protagonists and All the Latest Leaks
On this page, you’ll find a comprehensive guide to everything we know about the characters in GTA 6, including all the leaks and rumors about the game’s protagonists.
We’ll keep this page updated with the latest information as characters are confirmed, providing a complete list of GTA 6 characters, including protagonists, antagonists, companions, strangers, and more.
GTA 6 Main Protagonists
For GTA 6, Rockstar Games is continuing the trend of featuring multiple playable characters, a concept that began with Grand Theft Auto V.
In GTA 6, there are two main protagonists: Jason and, for the first time in the series, a female character named Lucia. Their last names have yet to be revealed.
Lucia, a Latina woman, marks the first time a female character has been playable in a modern Rockstar game. The leaked clips suggest that Jason and Lucia are in a relationship, drawing inspiration from the infamous Great Depression-era duo, Bonnie and Clyde.
Similar to GTA V, GTA 6 will include a character-switching mechanic, allowing players to switch between Jason and Lucia at any time by pressing “Down” on the D-Pad.
 Lucia |
 Jason |
As of now, Grand Theft Auto VI is set to feature two main protagonists: a Caucasian male named Jason and a Latina female named Lucia. Their last names remain unknown. Both characters seem to be in their late 20s to early 30s and are romantically involved. Initial rumors hinted at a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired narrative, which aligns with scenes from the first official trailer showing them committing robberies together.
The game is expected to include a character-switching function similar to Grand Theft Auto V, enabling players to switch between Lucia and Jason seamlessly.
Meet the Other Confirmed Characters in GTA 6
 Stefanie G |
Works for the Leonida Department of Corrections. It remains uncertain if she will play a significant role in Lucia’s life following her release from prison. Interestingly, she is the first voice heard in GTA VI, speaking at the very beginning of the initial trailer. |
 Gold Chain Guy |
Appearing in Trailer 1, this character is adorned with tattoos and gold chains and is seen shaking hands with another tattooed man. He might be “Kai,” a name spotted in the leaked footage, potentially hinting at a playable character. Alternatively, he could be a significant story character, possibly a high-ranking member of one of Leonida’s gangs. |
 Nightclub DJ |
Appearing in the first trailer, she is seen energizing the dance floor. It’s unclear if she will play a significant role in the game. |
 “Dad Bod Squad” Guy |
Spotted in the social media segment of the first trailer, he is on a boat surrounded by numerous girls in bikinis. |
 Car Twerk Girl |
Appears in Trailer 1 dancing on top of a car while someone inside records the scene for ‘content.’ |
 Shanese |
Spotted in the developer menus from the leaked footage, this non-playable character might be a friend of Lucia. She could be one of the girls dancing at the car meet in Trailer 1 and appears to be active on social media. |
 Car Meet Girl 1 |
One of the two girls shown dancing on top of a car during the car meet segment in the first trailer. |
 Car Meet Girl 2 |
The second girl dancing on top of a car during the car meet scene in the first trailer. |
 Crotch Grab Guy |
In the social media segment of the first trailer, this guy steps out of his car and makes an aggressive gesture, grabbing his crotch. |
 Rudi |
The social media post featuring this character in Trailer 1 reads ‘RIP Rudi’, suggesting that after his car stunt, this guy, presumably Rudi, is no longer alive. |
 High Rollerz Mag Guy |
Another unidentified Black man appears in the social media segment for High Rollerz Mag. |
 Thrillbilly Mud Girl |
Appearing in Trailer 1, she wears a stars-and-stripes bikini, is covered in mud, and is seen throwing up devil horns with her tongue out. |
 Crazy Hammer Lady |
In the social media segment of Trailer 1, an elderly woman holding two hammers is one of the rare characters who speaks, suggesting she might have a more significant role in the story. |
Friends & Contacts
As with previous Grand Theft Auto games, the protagonists in GTA VI will be surrounded by a wide array of contacts, friends, and potential foes. We expect a similarly diverse cast of characters in this new installment. Some of the characters we’ve identified so far are listed above.
Gangs
Expect to encounter numerous gangs throughout the game, with alliances to form and rivalries to ignite. For more detailed information, check out our GTA VI Gangs section.
Returning Characters
Currently, there is no information suggesting that characters from previous GTA games will return. However, Jay Norris, the former Life Invader CEO from GTA V, was mentioned in some dialogue. Given that the game is set in Vice City, it’s possible we might see some familiar faces from the original game, such as Kent Paul, originally voiced by Danny Dyer. Unfortunately, a return of Tommy Vercetti is unlikely due to the passing of his voice actor, Ray Liotta, in 2022.
Interestingly, a building in the leaked footage bears the name “Navaro Shipping Terminal,” which is located south of the Rockridge Neighborhood Service Center. Ray Navarro, a minor character in GTA V who worked for Devon Weston, might be referenced here, though his name was spelled with one ‘R’ in the in-game website.
