Who are the main characters in GTA 6?

Jason and Lucia are the two playable protagonists, and Rockstar frames them as a couple trying to claw their way to a better life through crime. Rockstar rolled out their bios, along with the six supporting characters, when it dropped the second trailer on May 6, 2025, as Game Informer and GamesRadar+ reported at the time.

Outlets count the roster differently. Game Informer counted nine because it treats Bae-Luxe and Roxy as separate people, while PCGamesN lists eight with Real Dimez as one entry. Either way, these are only the characters with official bios. Trailers have shown plenty of smaller faces, such as Lucia's correctional social worker, per PCGamesN.

Who is Jason Duval?

Jason is the male lead: an Army veteran who drifted back into crime in the Keys. His Rockstar bio says he grew up around grifters and crooks and joined the Army to "shake off his troubled teens," only to end up "working for local drug runners" again, as GamesRadar+ quoted it. The bio suggests he is ready to try something new, and that meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing that has happened to him.

At the start of the story he lives for free in a property owned by Brian Heder. The catch, according to the bio summarised by MeriStation, is that he helps Brian squeeze the tenants and drops by now and then for Lori's sangria. Critical Hits places Jason's safehouse in the Leonida Keys, tied to his years working for Brian.

Who is Lucia Caminos?

Lucia is the female lead, and she starts the game freshly released from prison. Her bio says she learned "to fight as soon as she could walk," per GamesRadar+, and Game Informer adds that her father trained her as a fighter. Fighting for her family put her in the Leonida Penitentiary, and MeriStation's summary of the bio says only luck got her out.

Her motivation is spelled out clearly: she wants the good life her mother dreamed of "since their days in Liberty City," one of the few references to that city in Rockstar's material so far. Now she has promised herself to make only smart moves, and a life with Jason may be her last real shot.

Have Jason and Lucia appeared in leaks?

Yes, but treat it with caution. An anonymous leaker called CyberLeek has shared clips said to come from a development build, including footage of both characters nude. Dexerto and PC Gamer note that NPCs don't react and that developer tools appear to be in use, so the clips say little about the finished game. PC Gamer adds that Take-Two and Rockstar are still hunting for the leaker. Our report on CyberLeek's Lucia clip has more.

Who are Brian Heder and Cal Hampton?

They are the two characters closest to Jason. Brian Heder is an old-school drug runner from the golden age of Keys smuggling. He still runs his business out of a boatyard with his third wife, Lori, and has been in the game long enough to let others do the dirty work. Insider Gaming notes he turns up in the Extended Look, sharing a cigar with Jason at a rooftop party.

Cal Hampton is Jason's friend and another of Brian's associates. Rockstar's bio says Cal "feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open." He is comfortable at the bottom of the ladder and has a taste for conspiracy theories, while Jason aims higher.

Who are Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest and Real Dimez?

They form the Vice City music and nightlife side of the cast, linked through the label Only Raw Records.

• Boobie Ike is a local legend who turned his street years into a legitimate empire of real estate, a strip club and a recording studio. His line from the trailer, quoted by PCGamesN: "The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all."
• Dre'Quan Priest is, in Rockstar's words, "more of a hustler than a gangster." He sold drugs to get by but always wanted to make music, and he runs Only Raw Records with Boobie.
• Real Dimez are Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school with a big social media presence. An early hit with local rapper DWNPLY made their name. Five years later they have signed to Only Raw Records and are chasing a second hit.

Who is Raul Bautista?

Raul is a professional bank robber with confidence, charm and a sharp mind, always recruiting people willing to take big risks for big rewards. The bio warns he gets more reckless with every job, so sooner or later his crew will have to raise the stakes or walk away. PCGamesN expects Jason and Lucia to team up with him.

Does any character from older GTA games return?

Possibly one. Kotaku reports that fans, including the GTA Wiki, spotted Valentina in the Extended Look, which premiered on Netflix in late August 2026. She hires Jason and Lucia as bodyguards for a rich young man, and they call her "Val" and "Tina." A coordinator with the same name, matching facial moles and the same kind of job appeared in GTA Online's 2025 Money Fronts update. Rockstar hasn't commented on the link.

A Phil Cassidy lookalike also shows up briefly in trailer 2, but Kotaku points out that characters from the 3D era don't carry over into the HD universe, so at most he would be a new version of the character.

Who voices Jason and Lucia in GTA 6?

Nobody knows officially. Rockstar has not named either lead actor, and Dexerto reports that fans have spent years matching voices from the trailers to other performers.

The latest name out of the running is Rob Brinkmann. In an Instagram video in late October, he told fans who thought he was Jason: "you got it wrong, folks. I'm so sorry, I'm not your guy." Fans now see Dylan Rourke (Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy) as the leading candidate. He hasn't ruled himself out, but neither he nor Rockstar has confirmed anything. No serious candidate for Lucia appears in the current reporting.

The one actor who has spoken on the record is Stephen Root. In September he told AP News at the BAFTA Tea Party, "Yeah, you're going to see me in there," according to Insider Gaming. He didn't name his character, though fans have linked his voice to Brian Heder since trailer 2. Game Informer also reported in 2025 that Cal sounds like Bobby Moynihan, while Dana Snyder, another suspected Cal, denied it.
