Grand Theft Auto has always introduced memorable characters that leave a lasting impact on players. From CJ and Niko to Tommy, Michael, and Trevor, these iconic figures have helped shape the franchise into what it is today. Naturally, the characters of GTA 6 are among the most anticipated aspects of the upcoming game.
If you’re eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto 6 and wondering who will be part of its cast, you’re in the right place. Here’s a detailed look at all the GTA 6 characters based on the official trailer and leaked information.
GTA 6 Main Characters
The protagonists in any Grand Theft Auto game play a crucial role in shaping the story and immersing players in a new world. In GTA 6, the two main protagonists will be Lucia and an unnamed male character. The concept of multiple playable characters, first introduced in GTA 5, will return in the sequel. While Lucia was officially revealed in the first GTA 6 trailer, the identity of the male protagonist remains uncertain.
With two playable characters, players will likely have the ability to switch between them. However, a level-locked system may restrict switching during the early parts of the story. The official poster shows an anklet on Lucia’s leg, which could suggest that she is the initial playable character.
GTA 6 is set to follow a Bonnie and Clyde-style story, a theme that is clearly showcased in the official trailer. The footage further confirms the protagonists’ relationship and involvement in criminal activities, reinforcing the outlaw dynamic between them.
Additionally, early GTA 6 leaked gameplay clips hinted at this narrative direction, showing the main characters engaging in heists and criminal acts, closely resembling the infamous crime couple.
Lucia
The first GTA 6 trailer introduces Lucia as the game’s female protagonist, with much of the footage centered around her story. While it’s unclear if the trailer follows a chronological sequence, it’s likely that the game will begin with Lucia’s time in prison. As the story unfolds, players may also get glimpses of her pre-prison life, similar to how GTA 5 used flashbacks and a recurring prologue to flesh out its characters’ backstories.
Currently, Manni L. Perez is the leading candidate to voice Lucia in GTA 6. However, with no official confirmation, Alexandra Cristina Echavarri and Leslie Lluvet are also speculated to be potential voice actors for the role. Regardless of who takes on the part, one thing is certain Lucia will be the franchise’s first Latina female protagonist, marking a significant milestone for the Grand Theft Auto series.
Jason (The Male Protagonist)
The GTA 6 trailer also introduces the male protagonist, though his name has yet to be officially confirmed. Early leaked files suggested his name might be Jason. In the trailer, he is seen assisting Lucia in various criminal activities, reinforcing the Bonnie and Clyde-style dynamic.
Some theories speculate that Jason could be a double agent working for the Leonida state police, adding an intriguing twist to the story. While he only utters the word “Trust” in the trailer, fans have speculated that his voice actor could be Bryan Zampella or Troy Baker though Troy Baker has already denied any involvement in GTA 6.
Other Confirmed GTA 6 Characters
The GTA 6 trailer introduces several intriguing characters, some of whom may just be NPCs, while others seem to play a key role in the story. One such character is Stefanie G, an employee of the Leonida Department of Corrections. She is the first speaker in the trailer, though her significance in Lucia’s post-release life remains unknown.
While only two playable protagonists have been officially confirmed, leaked files suggest there could be two more. If the GTA 6 dev menu leaks are accurate, the game may feature a total of four playable characters: Lucia, Jason, Billy, and Kai. Notably, fans speculate that the Gold Chain Guy seen in the trailer might actually be Kai, as referenced in the leaked files.
Since these names were found in an old dev menu, it’s possible that Rockstar Games later reduced the number of playable protagonists. Alternatively, they could be potential DLC characters introduced post-launch. Here’s a list of all the other GTA 6 characters revealed in the trailer and leaked files:
- Bikini Girl (Rumored Lucia)
- Billy
- Boobie
- Chester (Chester’s Music)
- ‘Dad Bod Squad’ Guy
- Dale (Dale’s Shopwell)
- Danny
- Dre (Nightclub Manager)
- Gold Chain Guy
- Kai
- Iris (Iris Laundry)
- RB Shaw
- Sam
- Shanese
- Stefanie G
- Tit (Nightclub DJ)
- Wyman
- Vicky
- YJ (Minimap)
- Zach
GTA 6 Returning Characters
Since GTA 6 is set in Vice City, there’s a chance that classic characters like Kent Paul (originally voiced by Danny Dyer) could make a return. However, a comeback for Tommy Vercetti seems highly unlikely due to the passing of Ray Liotta, who voiced him in GTA: Vice City.
Additionally, leaked footage reveals a building labeled “Navaro Shipping Terminal“, located south of the Rockridge Neighborhood Service Center. This “Navaro” likely refers to Ray Navarro, a minor character from GTA V who worked for Devin Weston. Whether this is just an Easter egg or hints at a deeper connection remains to be seen.
It’s worth mentioning that the in-game website for GTA V spells Ray Navarro’s name with only one ‘r’ (Navaro). Additionally, leaked files suggest the possible involvement of Jay Norris, the former LifeInvader CEO from GTA V. This further confirms that GTA 6 is set in the HD Universe, which includes GTA 4 and GTA 5.
