1818 Role in the Story
1919  
2020 Raul appears to be a pivotal figure in the main storyline. The official plot synopsis describes an "easy score" that goes wrong, plunging Jason and Lucia into "the darkest side of the sunniest place in America." Raul's involvement as a bank robber who recruits the protagonists suggests he may be connected to this inciting incident. His escalating recklessness could be the catalyst that transforms a manageable criminal partnership into a life-threatening conspiracy.

2525  
2626 Raul's official character description paints him as "a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards." His confidence and charm make him a natural leader, and he frequently is a mentor figure to less experienced criminals. Raul is known for assembling heist crews from the talent pool of Vice City's criminal underworld, recruiting individuals who demonstrate both skill and a willingness to push boundaries. His approach to robberies and heists appears to favor high-risk, high-reward scores rather than safe, incremental jobs.
2727  
2828 Rockstar's description also carries a warning: "Raul's recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table." This suggests that Raul's escalating ambition may become a central source of tension in GTA VI's heist storyline, potentially forcing Lucia and Jason to choose between loyalty and self-preservation. Some community analysts have compared Raul to Dutch van der Linde from Red Dead Redemption 2noting the shared archetype of a charismatic leader whose overconfidence gradually endangers everyone around him.
