GTA VI Characters
Read everything we know about the characters of GTA VI, including Jason, Lucia and their possible voice artists.
Lucia
The first character we are introduced to, Lucia is expected to be one of the two main protagonists. She's first seen in prison wearing an orange jumpsuit before later robbing a store with her partner Jason.
In the leaked footage, Lucia was seen wearing a pink top with blue camouflage pants. In another scene she could be seen wearing a short black dress testing fabric physics along with makeup.
In the official GTA VI artwork, Lucia is once again pictured in her pink top and camo pants, with the notable addition of an ankle tag, suggesting she's on release from prison and is not an entirely free woman.
In the first trailer she can be seen wearing a number of different outfits, from her orange prison jumpsuit, a golden dress and black top with shorts and bandana combo.
A number of early rumors from the leaked footage pointed to Lucia being voiced and possibly motion captured by an actress named Alexandra Cristina Echavarri. Her IMDb page began listing GTA VI under her upcoming work although this is unlikely to be officially updated by her or her team. You can watch some videos from her acting reels on her Vimeo page.
Newer rumors post-Trailer 1 release point to Manni L. Perez who's instagram account subsequently went dark - further fueling the rumors.
Leslie Lluvet also bears a very close similarity to Lucia and has a similar voice in some of her previous acting roles.
Jason
Officially still unnamed, but referred to as Jason in the leaked development footage . He is Lucia's boyfriend and partner in crime, seen driving cars on multiple occasions in the first trailer and helping to perform an armed robbery. Jason is one of the games' two protagonists and will be controllable by players.
Jason was seen in the leaked footage wearing a backward red and white baseball cap featuring a "Chacey's" logo and a "Horny's Burgers" logo, and white tank top with a necklace, possibly dog tags, and khaki shorts.
In the first trailer, Jason is seen driving a car wearing a white t-shirt and a dark grey bandana. He's seen shirtless in bed with Lucia later, then wearing sandy-colored shorts during the store robbery scene at the end of the trailer.
In the official GTA VI artwork, Jason is seen wearing green cargo pants and a white tank top.
Research into Jason's character leads some to believe he may be voiced by an actor named Bryan Zampella, who again was listed on IMdb as the voice artist for Jason in the upcoming GTA VI, but again this is unlikely to be official. He's been photographed with a Rockstar Games developer in the past and also bears a resemblance to Jason's character seen in the leaked footage.
Over the years, Bryan has posted a number of cryptic Grand Theft Auto-themed tweets, which actually makes it less likely that he has any involvement in the game given the strict non-disclosure agreement that all actors would be subject to.
The most likely voice artist for Jason is video game acting legend Troy Baker, based on the single word, "trust", uttered by Jason in the first trailer. Troy has appeared in numerous triple-A video games including Uncharted and The Last of Us and would certainly bring high quality to his performance.
Stefanie G
Works for Leonida Department of Corrections. Unknown if she will have a large role in Lucia's life after her release from prison. She's actually the first voice we hear in GTA VI, speaking right at the start of the first trailer.
Gold Chain Guy
Seen in Trailer 1, covered in tattoos and gold chains, shaking hands with another tattooed man. Possibly "Kai" as seen in the leaked footage, who may be a playable character. Could be also be a story character and possibly a high ranking member of one of Leonida's gangs.
Nightclub DJ
Seen in the first trailer hyping up the dance floor. Unknown whether she has a big role in the game.
'Dad Bod Squad' Guy
Seen on a boat with lots of girls in bikinis during the social media section of the first trailer.
Car Twerk Girl
Can be seen shaking her booty on top of a car in Trailer 1, while someone inside the vehicle films it for 'content'.
Shanese
Appeared in dev menus in the leaked footage. Non playable character, possibly a friend of Lucia. May be one of the girls seen dancing at the car meet in Trailer 1. Seems to use social media.
Car Meet Girl 1
One of two girls seen dancing on top of a car during the car meet part of trailer 1.
Car Meet Girl 2
The other of two girls seen dancing on top of a car during the car meet part of trailer 1.
Crotch Grab Guy
During part of the social media section of Trailer 1, this guy gets out of his car and aggressively grabs at his crotch.
Rudi
The text displayed on the social media post with this character in Trailer 1 says 'RIP Rudi', so perhaps we're to assume this guy is Rudi and following his car stunt, he's no longer with us.
High Rollerz Mag Guy
Another unknown black male who shows up during the social media section for High Rollerz Mag.
Thrillbilly Mud Girl
Seen in Trailer 1 wearing a stars and stripes bikini, covered in mud, throwing up the devil horns with her tongue out.
Crazy Hammer Lady
During the social media section of Trailer 1, this old woman, holding two hammers, is one of the few people to speak, which makes us think she might play more than a minor role in the story.
Vicki
Appeared in dev menus in the leaked footage. Non playable character, possibly a friend of Lucia.
Kai
Appeared in a dev menu in the leaked footage. May be an additional playable character, or an old character cut from the final game.
Boovy
DJ at the Jack of Hearts strip club. Friend and business partner of Dre trying to get a music studio up and running.
Billy
Appeared in a dev menu in the leaked footage. May be an additional playable character, or an old character cut from the final game.
Sam
Frequent customer at the Jack of Hearts strip club who is a bit sensitive in relationships. Unknown if he plays any significant role.
Dre
Employee or manager at the Jack of Hearts strip club. Friend and business partner of Boovy trying to get a music studio up and running.
Wyman
A conspiracy theorist residing at a motel outside Port Gellhorn. Has ties to Shanese. In leaked footage he could be heard discussing LifeInvader CEO Jay Norris and whether there's really a country called Finland.
Kolt
Appeared in dev menus in the leaked footage. Related to cargo missions.
Iris

Protagonists
As far as we currently know, Grand Theft Auto VI will feature two main protagonists: a caucasian male named Jason and a latina female named Lucia. Their last names are currently unknown. Both characters appear to be in their 20's to early 30's and are in a romantic relationship. Early rumors of the new GTA game suggested a Bonnie and Clyde inspired story and this would appear to fit that speculation with both characters seen performing robberies together in the first official trailer.
It appears the game will feature a character switch function as seen in Grand Theft Auto V allowing the player to switch control between Lucia and Jason.
Friends & Contacts
As with all previous GTA games, the main characters will be surrounded by a large circle of contacts, friends and potential enemies. We expect GTA VI to be no different. A number of the characters we've spotted so far are listed above.
Gangs
As usual, expect to come across numerous gangs throughout the game. Affiliations will be made and bridges burned. Check out GTA VI Gangs for more information.
Returning Characters
We've seen no information to suggest any characters from previous GTA games will make a return, although Jay Norris, the former Life Invader CEO (from GTA V) was mentioned in some dialogue. With the game set in Vice City, it's possible some characters from the original game could still be around such as Kent Paul who was voiced by Danny Dyer, although a return of Tommy Vercetti is unlikely given the untimely death of voice artist and all-round acting legend Ray Liotta in 2022.
A building among the leaked footage appears to say "Navaro Shipping Terminal" located south of the Rockridge Neighborhood Service Center. Ray Navarro was a minor character in GTA V that worked for Devon Westin. The in-game website spells his name with one R.
