11Supporting Characters22Rockstar Games published official character profiles for nine characters alongside Trailer 2 in May 2025. These profiles appeared on the official GTA VI website with written descriptions and taglines. Additional characters have been identified from trailer footage. The quotes below are taken directly from Rockstar's official website.44Brian Heder66"Looks like a Leonida beach bum. Moves like a great white shark."88Brian is a drug runner from what Rockstar calls "the golden age of smuggling in the Keys." He still moves product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori. According to Rockstar's description, Brian has "been around long enough to let others do his dirty work." He is letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties, so long as Jason helps with "local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori's sangria once in a while."1111In Trailer 2, Brian delivers the line: "I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate." He also warns Jason: "They got your name, address. They got everything." Brian operates out of the Leonida Keysappears to be Jason's employer and mentor at the start of the story.1313Lori Heder1515Lori Heder is Brian's third wife. She does not have her own dedicated Rockstar character profile; she is referenced within Brian's description as his partner who works alongside him at the boat yard. In Trailer 2, she appears in scenes at what looks like their home in the Keys and is seen handling firearms, suggesting she is directly involved in the criminal side of their operation.1717Cal Hampton1919"What if everything on the internet was true?"2121Cal is Jason's friend and a fellow associate of Brian's. According to Rockstar, Cal "feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open." Rockstar describes him as being at "the low tide of America and happy there." His "casual paranoia loves company," but Jason "has bigger plans."2323Cal functions as an eccentric conspiracy theorist in the story. In Trailer 2, he appears in several scenes with Jason, including hangouts at boat docks in the Keys. His monitoring of Coast Guard radio suggests he feeds Jason information about maritime activity.2525Boobie Ike2727"It's all about heart, the Jack of Hearts."2929Boobie Ike is described by Rockstar as "a local Vice City legend, and acts like it." He is one of the few people to "transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estatea strip club, and a recording studio." The strip club is the Jack of Hearts, which appears prominently in both trailers.3131Rockstar notes that Boobie is "all smiles until it's time to talk business." His primary investment, according to the official profile, is his partnership with Dre'Quan Priest on Only Raw Records. Together they run the label but "just need a hit."3333Dre'Quan Priest3535"Only Raw... Records."3737Rockstar describes Dre'Quan as someone who "was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal." He has signed Real Dimez to the Only Raw Records label and his "days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene."4040Dre'Quan and Boobie Ike together run Only Raw Records, a recording label that connects several characters in the game's Vice City music and nightlife world. The label ties together the strip club business, the Real Dimez rap duo, and the broader entertainment industry satire running through the game.4242Raul Bautista4444"Experience counts."4646Rockstar describes Raul as having "confidence, charm, and cunning." He is "a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards." His recklessness "raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table."4848In Trailer 2, Raul delivers the line: "Life is full of surprises, my friend. I think we'd all be wise to remember that." Given the game's story centers on Jason and Lucia getting drawn into escalating criminal schemes, Raul appears to be someone who pulls them into larger and riskier heists.5050Bae-Luxe and Roxy (Real Dimez)5252"Viral videos. Viral hooks."5454Bae-Luxe and Roxy are the two halves of the hip-hop duo Real Dimez. According to Rockstar, they "have been friends since high school, girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence."5656Their backstory involves an early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY that "took Real Dimez to new heights." Five years later, after "a whole lot of trouble," they are signed to Only Raw Records and "hoping lightning can strike twice." Their presence in the game ties together the social media culture, music industry, and street-level crime themes.5858DWNPLY6060DWNPLY is a local rapper mentioned by name in the official Real Dimez character description. He collaborated with Bae-Luxe and Roxy on an early hit single that elevated the duo's career. DWNPLY does not have a standalone character profile on the Rockstar website and appears only as a named reference within the Real Dimez entry. Whether DWNPLY appears as a physical character in the game or is only referenced in dialogue is not confirmed.6262Phil6464Phil appears in Trailer 2 during a brief in-game Ammu-Nation television commercial at approximately the 2:09 mark. He announces: "Come to Phil's Ammu-Nation today! We got more guns than the law allows!" while standing in front of the store and firing a weapon. The commercial plays The Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" in the background.6666Phil does not have an official Rockstar character profile. The character is widely believed to be a reimagining of Phil Cassidy, a recurring character from GTA III, Vice City, and Vice City Stories who ran a weapons business. However, the original Phil Cassidy lost his arm during Vice City's events in 1986 and would be significantly older by the time of GTA VI. Fan theories suggest this could be Phil's son, a soft reboot, or simply a new character who happens to share the name. Rockstar has not confirmed any connection.6969Unnamed Corrupt Police Officer7171Trailer 2 has a prominent middle-aged, bearded police officer shown conducting backroom deals and leading what appears to be a plainclothes tactical unit raiding a building. His squad includes a heavily tattooed officer and a bearded cop wearing a backwards white cap, suggesting an undercover or off-the-books operation.7373His line in the trailer is: "Us cops, we gotta protect each other." Rockstar has not named this character, published a profile for him, or confirmed his role in the story. His screen time and dialogue strongly suggest he is a significant antagonist, drawing community comparisons to corrupt-officer antagonists from prior franchise entries.7575Character Summary7777CharacterRoleOfficial ProfileBrian HederDrug runner, Jason's employer/mentorYesLori HederBrian's third wifeMentioned in Brian'sCal HamptonJason's friend, conspiracy theoristYesBoobie IkeNightclub/label owner, Vice City figureYesDre'Quan PriestMusic mogul, Only Raw RecordsYesRaul BautistaSeasoned bank robberYesBae-LuxeRapper, one half of Real DimezYes (shared entry)RoxyRapper, one half of Real DimezYes (shared entry)DWNPLYLocal rapperReferenced in Real Dimez'sPhilAmmu-Nation ownerNo (Trailer 2 only)Unnamed officerCorrupt police officerNo (Trailer 2 only)7979Stefanie8080Stefanie is a correctional social worker at the Leonida Department of Corrections. She is the first voice heard in GTA VI, appearing in her office talking to Lucia during her incarceration at Leonida Penitentiary. Her dialogue suggests she is conducting a check-in or evaluation session. Stefanie first appeared in Trailer 1 (December 2023). Her voice actor has not been identified.8282Phil8484Phil is a weapons dealer and the owner of Phil's Ammu-Nation. He appears in an Ammu-Nation commercial in Trailer 2 (May 2025), enthusiastically promoting firearms. The character is a reimagined version of Phil Cassidy from the 3D Universe Grand Theft Auto games (GTA III, Vice City, and Vice City Stories), though this version is notably younger and has both arms intact. The original Phil Cassidy famously lost an arm in an accident. Phil's name, appearance, and role as a weapons dealer are all directly inspired by the 1980s character.8686DWNPLY8888DWNPLY is a local rapper in Vice City who collaborated with the Real Dimez (Bae-Luxe and Roxy) on an early hit single that brought the duo initial recognition. This collaboration occurred roughly five years before the events of GTA VI. DWNPLY is referenced in the official character bios published by Rockstar alongside Trailer 2 but is not prominently featured in trailer footage.9090Unnamed Police Officer9292A middle-aged, bearded police officer is visible in Trailer 2 who appears to be leading his own task force. He delivers the line: "Us cops, we gotta protect each other." The tone and wording suggest corrupt or unlawful behavior, and community speculation positions this character as a potential law enforcement antagonist. The actor is rumored to be John Ortiz (Fast and Furious series, Nobody 2), though this is unconfirmed. He may play a major role in the state-wide conspiracy referenced in Rockstar's story synopsis.93+A middle-aged, bearded police officer is visible in Trailer 2 who appears to be leading his own task force.

The label connects several characters: Boobie provides the infrastructure (his strip club and recording studio), Dre'Quan handles A&R and artist development, and Real Dimez (Bae-Luxe and Roxy) are their signed act. The label is looking for its first major hit. Only Raw Records functions as a hub in the game's music industry storyline and is one of the clearest examples of how GTA VI's supporting cast is interconnected rather than existing in isolation.
