Jason and Lucia have backstories now, but plenty of questions remain (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GTA 6<\/a> Trailer 2 has confirmed the full names of the two playable characters, as well as a number of brand new cast members.<\/p>\n

Rockstar Games<\/a> has eased the sting of GTA 6\u2019s delay into 2026<\/a> with a surprise second trailer<\/a>, which was long overdue considering the first trailer was in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new trailer didn\u2019t reveal as much new information as we would\u2019ve liked (with no clear indication if any of it was actual gameplay) and mostly reiterated what the first trailer already made clear.<\/p>\n

However, it did provide a first look at the extended cast outside of protagonists Jason and Lucia, and an update to Rockstar\u2019s website has provided some detailed background on the cast as a whole.<\/p>\n

Who are the main characters in GTA 6?<\/h2>\n

Jason Duval<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
Nearly two years since the first trailer and we finally get to learn who Jason is (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One half of GTA 6\u2019s Bonnie and Clyde inspired protagonists, Jason gets a lot more screen time in the second trailer compared to the first, where Lucia took most of the focus.<\/p>\n

As such, we finally know a bit more about who Jason is. For starters, he was embroiled in crime from an early age, having grown up \u2018around grifters and crooks.\u2019 After a stint in the army, he begins the game working for local drug runners, but it seems he wants something more out of life.<\/p>\n

The trailer also indicates he and Lucia were already an item before she went to prison and that he’s been waiting for her to get out ever since.<\/p>\n

The website adds<\/a>: \u2018Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him,\u2019 which could hint at their relationship becoming uneven throughout the game and leading to disaster.<\/p>\n

While his voice actor has yet to be confirmed, it does sound like it could be Matthew Mercer, based on the dialogue in the trailer. Aside from being the dungeon master on Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role, Mercer has a long history as a video game voice actor.<\/p>\n

Recent roles include Gora Majima in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii<\/a> and Ganondorf in The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lucia Caminos<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
Exactly what Lucia went for prison for is still a mystery (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Bonnie to Jason\u2019s Clyde and the first proper female protagonist in the GTA series. There were options to play as a female character in the first couple of 2D games, but Lucia is the first with an actual personality.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s still unclear what Lucia was in prison for at the start of GTA 6, it\u2019s said she was \u2018fighting for her family\u2019 and it was only through sheer luck she\u2019s been released.<\/p>\n

The website\u2019s description makes it clear she has big ambitions and is \u2018committed to her plan \u2014 no matter what it takes.\u2019 Her and Jason look to be in a happy relationship even while committing crimes, but perhaps her ambitions will gradually drive a wedge between the two.<\/p>\n

Although Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything, the clear implication is that both Lucia and Jason are playable characters, perhaps with the ability to switch between them at will, as seen in GTA 4. Leaks from the Rockstar hack also suggest they are both playable.<\/p>\n

Cal Hampton<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
Meet your comic relief (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A friend of Jason, Cal Hampton is a conspiracy theorist who otherwise sounds satisfied with his lot in life. No doubt he\u2019ll be a recurring ally to Jason and Lucia, though whether he\u2019ll be their man in the chair supplying info or get involved with the more violent robberies remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not confirmed, but some suspect he\u2019s being played by The Bear actor Matty Matheson. He and Cal do share a resemblance, which could mean he\u2019s lent not only his voice but his likeness as well.<\/p>\n

Boobie Ike<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
Ike has supposedly left behind the criminal lifestyle for legit enterprises (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A \u2018local Vice City legend,\u2019 Boobie Ike\u2019s \u2018time in the street\u2019 has resulted in legitimate enterprises consisting of a real estate business, a strip club, and a recording studio. Rockstar is already implying that he’s still a drug dealer though, at least as a side concern.<\/p>\n

By the time of GTA 6, he\u2019s invested in supporting an upcoming musician and is in need of a new hit. Exactly how he\u2019ll become intertwined with Jason and Lucia is unknown, so he\u2019s either a much-needed ally in their own criminal dealings or a potentially powerful enemy should they target him.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll likely need to pay each of his different businesses a visit throughout the course of the game and each one could have related jobs to take on to make some cash.<\/p>\n

Dre\u2019Quan Priest<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
Dre’Quan is hoping to hit the big time and move on from performing at strip clubs (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The musician partnered with Boobie Ike is Dre\u2019Quan Priest, who also has a criminal past – which he’s apparently used as a means to break into the music business.<\/p>\n

The website says he\u2019s booking acts at Ike\u2019s strip club, but he\u2019s also landed a deal with fellow music act Real Dimez, in his latest push to become a legitimate star.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll likely be a recurring side character who Jason and Lucia can assist in his music career, although it remains to be seen how willing he is to partake in illegal acts. Although considering this is GTA, probably quite willing.<\/p>\n

Real Dimez (Bae-Luxe and Roxy)<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
These two have had five years’ worth of trouble after propelling to superstardom (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two women who\u2019ve been friends since high school, Real Dimez have made a name for themselves through their spicy rap music and social media presence.<\/p>\n

Based on the website description, their career may have peaked and \u2018after five years and a whole lot of trouble,\u2019 they\u2019re hoping to capture lightning in a bottle twice by signing on with Only Raw Records.<\/p>\n

Between them and Dre\u2019Quan Priest, the music industry looks to be a big part of GTA 6 and one ripe for the series\u2019 brand of satire. Given how much presence Real Dimez and Dre\u2019Quan Priest appear to have in the game, their songs could also be part of the official soundtrack, alongside real world musicians.<\/p>\n

Raul Bautista<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
Whether ally or enemy, Bautista sounds like a dangerous man (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An experienced bank robber on the hunt for new talent, Raul Bautista sounds as ambitious as Lucia, with the website saying his recklessness means the stakes keep going up with every successful heist.<\/p>\n

Combined with the trailer, his presence strongly suggests GTA 5<\/a> style heists will be a thing once more and that Jason and Lucia will likely work under him throughout the game.<\/p>\n

While Bautista has the capacity to be a criminal mentor for Jason and Lucia, we could see him doubling as a villain should the pair strike out on their own and\/or cost him one of his big heists.<\/p>\n

Brian Heder<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"GTA\t<\/div>
Expect to see a lot of Brian throughout the game (Rockstar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An elderly drug runner who\u2019s on his third wife, but is still involved with the criminal lifestyle, having gained enough experience to know how to let others do the dirty work for him.<\/p>\n

Brian is set to be another ally for Jason and Lucia since he\u2019s letting the former live rent free at one of his properties, but only as long as Jason agrees to the occasional local shakedown.<\/p>\n

The two\u2019s relationship otherwise seems friendly in the trailer, with Brian being the one to warn Jason that the cops have his name and address. As such, you can expect Brian to be an ally, at least in the early hours of the game when operating as a small time crook.<\/p>\n

Brian seems to be played by actor Stephen Root, who is perhaps best known as Milton from Office Space.<\/p>\n

Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released on May 26, 2006 for Xbox Series X\/S and PlayStation 5. No PC version has been announced so far.<\/strong><\/p>\n
