Who are the main characters in GTA 6?

What does Rockstar say about Jason and Lucia’s backgrounds?

Rockstar’s Only in Leonida profiles give each lead a short history. Jason Duval grew up among grifters and crooks, spent time in the Army trying to put a troubled youth behind him, and ended up in the Keys working for local drug runners, the work he knows best. In the Launch Trailer he says he got in trouble in the army, as Kotaku reports.

Lucia Caminos was taught to fight by her father, and Rockstar says fighting for her family is what put her in the Leonida Penitentiary. She got out through what Rockstar calls sheer luck. She wants the good life her mother has dreamed of since the family lived in Liberty City, and Rockstar says she’s now ready to make it happen herself.

Who are the supporting characters Rockstar has profiled?

Six profiles so far, all on the Only in Leonida page. Brian Heder is a drug runner from the Keys’ golden age of smuggling who still moves product out of his boat yard alongside Lori, his third wife. He lets Jason stay in one of his places rent-free, as long as Jason helps with shakedowns. Cal Hampton is Jason’s friend and another of Brian’s associates, a paranoid type who feels safest at home listening in on the Coast Guard.

In Vice City, Boobie Ike is a local legend who turned his street years into a legitimate business: property, a strip club and a recording studio. IGN names the club as the Jack of Hearts. Dre’Quan Priest is the aspiring music mogul running Only Raw Records with him. Real Dimez is one profile for two people, the rappers Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school and now signed to that label. The sixth, Raul Bautista, is a seasoned bank robber always looking for people who will take big risks, and Rockstar says his recklessness raises the stakes on every score.

Can you play as anyone besides Jason and Lucia?

Rockstar has confirmed only Jason and Lucia as playable. None of the supporting characters has been described as playable.

IGN, which watched Rockstar North’s Rob Nelson play the game at the studio, reported in August 2026 that you can switch between the two leads at any time while exploring, though some story moments may turn it off. Our switching answer covers it. IGN also quoted Nelson as saying the romance between them is optional, so how much you lean into it is up to you.

Who voices the characters?

Rockstar hasn’t named the voice cast for either lead, and we won’t repeat the names fans have floated. The one casting report from a major outlet is Variety’s, which says Stephen Root voices Brian Heder. In the Associated Press interview Variety quotes, Root says he’s in the game without naming his role. Rockstar hasn’t confirmed it. Our voice actors answer tracks this.

How do the characters connect to each other?

Mostly through two circles. In the Keys, Brian Heder links Jason and Cal: Jason lives in one of Brian’s places, and Cal is another of his associates. IGN identifies Cal as the man doing shots with Jason and Lucia at The Rusty Anchor bar in Trailer 2, and spots him helping Jason buff a boat at Brian’s marina in the Launch Trailer.

In Vice City, the link is music. Boobie Ike owns a strip club and a studio, Dre’Quan runs Only Raw Records with him, and Real Dimez are the act signed to that label. Rockstar’s profiles don’t say how either circle meets the other, or where Raul Bautista fits. Our pages on Brian’s boat yard, the Jack of Hearts and Only Raw Records have the places.

What we don’t know yet

Rockstar hasn’t given the leads’ ages, and hasn’t named the voice actors for Jason, Lucia or anyone else. It hasn’t said whether more characters will be profiled before launch on November 19, 2026, or how large each role is. For how Jason and Lucia compare with earlier GTA leads, see our comparison.
