The two protagonists

Lucia Caminos

One of the two playable leads and the series' first female protagonist of the modern era. She was raised to fight from childhood, ended up in Leonida Penitentiary after defending her family, and walks out of prison determined to build a better life alongside Jason.[1][2][3]

Jason Duval

The second playable lead. He grew up surrounded by hustlers and con artists, tried to straighten out with a spell in the Army, and drifted to the Leonida Keys, where he now does jobs for local drug runners while wishing for an easier life.[1][4]

Rockstar lets you switch between the two leads in the open world. The story follows them as a criminal couple whose easy score goes wrong[1][5][6][2][7][8].

Supporting characters

Original illustrated scene for Cal Hampton: themed props in their colour, no people, not a likeness

Cal Hampton

Jason's friend and an associate of Brian Heder in the Keys. He is a laid-back, beer-drinking conspiracy theorist who prefers staying home, listening in on Coast Guard radio traffic and browsing in private tabs.

  • Rockstar characterises him as a casual, very American style of conspiracy theorist.[1][2]
  • He feels safest at home, eavesdropping on Coast Guard communications with a few beers.[1][9][10]
  • Unlike Jason, he is content with his low-key life and not chasing anything bigger.[1][10]
  • PC Gamer compared his snooping role to Lester from GTA V (an outlet comparison, not an official statement).[9]

Brian Heder

A veteran drug smuggler from the heyday of running product through the Keys. He still operates out of a boat yard with his third wife, Lori, and these days prefers to let younger people such as Jason do the risky work.

  • He runs his business from a boat yard he shares with his third wife, Lori.[1][9]
  • He houses Jason in one of his properties in return for Jason's help with his dealings.[1][10]
  • Actor Stephen Root publicly confirmed in September 2026 that he appears in GTA VI as a Keys drug trafficker, widely reported as Brian; outlets called it the first confirmed casting.[12][13]

Boobie Ike

A Vice City street legend who turned his criminal past into a legitimate business empire covering property, a strip club and a recording studio. He is warm and charismatic in public but a calculating operator underneath.

  • His strip club is the Jack of Hearts.[1][10]

Dre'Quan Priest

A hustler rather than a gangster whose real ambition has always been music. He went from street dealing and booking acts into Boobie's strip club to running Only Raw Records, where he has signed the Real Dimez.

  • He has booked performers for Boobie Ike's strip club.[1]

Real Dimez (Bae-Luxe and Roxy)

A rap duo made up of high-school friends Bae-Luxe and Roxy. They built a following by shaking down local dealers and turning it into viral tracks and social media content, scored an early hit alongside a local rapper, and are now signed to Only Raw Records chasing a follow-up.

  • The two members are named Bae-Luxe and Roxy and have been friends since high school.[1][14][9]
  • They are heavily invested in social media and made their name with viral rap tracks.[14][9]

A seasoned, charming and cunning bank robber who scouts Leonida for criminals willing to take big risks for big payouts. His appetite for bigger scores raises the danger for everyone in his crew.

  • Outlets note that his recklessness raises the stakes with each job.[9]
  • Trailer 2 coverage links him to the bank-robbery sequence involving both protagonists.[10][15]

How the cast connects

The official material points to two clusters of characters. The first is in the Leonida Keys: Jason works for local smugglers there, including the veteran Brian Heder and his wife Lori. His friend Cal Hampton spends his time listening to Coast Guard radio.

The second is in Vice City's music and nightlife scene. Boobie Ike owns a strip club and backs a record label, Dre'Quan Priest runs that label, and the rap duo Real Dimez are its breakout act.

Raul Bautista, the bank robber, links the criminal side to bigger scores. Rockstar has not said how all these threads come together; that is part of the story you will discover at launch.

What we leave out

Fan wikis and social media contain extra backstory for several characters. We only list what Rockstar or major outlets reporting on official material have stated, so claims we could not trace to an official source are excluded. That includes rumoured returning characters and speculation about who is voiced by whom.
