The Characters
Official portraits from Rockstar Games. Eight suspects, one inevitable disaster.
The Protagonist
Lucia Caminos
Liberty City → Leonida
Daughter of Cuban immigrants. Did time at Leonida Penitentiary for defending her mother. Out on parole, hungry, and done playing fair. The first female lead in mainline GTA history.
The Partner
Jason Duval
Ex-military, drifted south
Grew up around grifters and crooks. A stint in the Army didn't fix it. Now in the Keys running jobs for local drug runners. Met Lucia. Decided she was worth the trouble.
The Paranoid Hacker
Cal Hampton
Houseboat, off the coast
Conspiracy-pilled internet rat. Lives on a beat-up boat surrounded by monitors and tinfoil energy. Useful when you need someone behind a keyboard — exhausting otherwise.
The Operator
Boobie Ike
Vice City
Owns the strip club, owns the block, wants to own more. Old-school businessman with a sideline in moving weight under the cover of legitimate fronts. Pays well. Forgets nothing.
The Mogul
DreQuan Priest
Vice City
Up-and-coming music exec building an empire out of Vice City. Smooth, ambitious, plugged into every scene. Manages Real Dimez and a whole lot more.
The Influencers
Real Dimez
Vice City rap duo
Two-woman act blowing up online — robbing, flexing, livestreaming the chaos. Floridian femme-fatale energy with a phone always recording.
The Has-Been
Brian Heder
Keys swamp compound
Aging biker-turned-crime-lord living on a rotting estate with his much-younger wife and a kennel of pit bulls. Jason works for him. The arrangement is not built to last.
The Heist Architect
Raul Bautista
Leonida
Career criminal who plans the scores Lucia and Jason pull. Calm, clinical, professional. The kind of man who knows exactly which bank, which guard, which window.
