GTA 6 Characters Guide: Everything We Know About Lucia, Jason, and the Vice City Cast
GTA 6 introduces the series' first female protagonist alongside a new male lead. Here's every confirmed character, rumored cast members, and what we know about Vice City's criminal underworld.
Key update
GTA 6 marks a historic moment for the Grand Theft Auto franchise by introducing Lucia Galardo as the series' first-ever female playable protagonist — a decision Rockstar described as 'long overdue' in their December 2023 announcement trailer. Lucia is a native of Vice City with deep roots in the city's criminal underworld.
Why it matters
Jason Duque is Lucia's partner-in-crime and the second playable protagonist. Little has been officially confirmed about Jason's backstory, but the 2023 announcement trailer showed him alongside Lucia in what appears to be a Bonnie and Clyde-style dynamic — their criminal partnership appears to be romantic in nature.
What to watch
The dynamic between Lucia and Jason represents a significant design departure from GTA V's three protagonists. Rockstar has confirmed that their stories will be deeply intertwined, with each mission and decision affecting both characters' relationship, personal arcs, and the trajectory of the game's narrative.
Context
Vice City's criminal underworld is expected to feature a variety of factions, from traditional organized crime families to modern drug cartels. Based on Rockstar's previous world-building, each faction will likely have its own missions, territories, and reputation systems that respond to the player's choices.
Bottom line
The GTA 6 cast is expected to include several notable supporting characters, though Rockstar has not officially confirmed specific voice actors. Industry speculation has pointed to a mix of established GTA voice actors returning alongside new talent, with casting descriptions suggesting the studio seeks actors capable of capturing the cultural diversity of a modern Vice City.
Update 6
Lucia's role in the narrative involves her being caught in a difficult personal situation that sets her on the path of crime. The December 2023 trailer's narration — 'When I met her, she was already in trouble' — suggests she was involved in criminal activity before their partnership began.
Update 7
The game's NPC population is expected to be the most advanced in any Rockstar title. Rockstar has confirmed that the game's AI systems allow individual NPCs to maintain jobs, relationships, daily routines, and even social media presences — meaning the characters of Vice City feel genuinely alive.
