All confirmed GTA 6 side characters and their background

Here is the list of all the side characters you will encounter in the GTA 6’s underworld. They all come with their own stories, schemes and secrets.




Cal Hampton


Cal Hampton is Jason's close friend and paranoid conspiracy enthusiast. He prefers the comfort of his home and spends time monitoring the Coast Guard communications while sipping beer. Cal's distrust of the world keeps him content in his bubble, though he does occasionally drag Jason into the theories.


“There are way too many birds flying around in perfect formation,” Cal remarks, showing his offbeat perspective. While Cal enjoys his low-key lifestyle, Jason and his ambitions might pull him to something bigger and riskier schemes.



Boobie Ike


Boobie, a strip club mogul, is a self-made kingpin. He turned the street hustles into a legitimate empire. While owning a recording studio, strip club, and real estate, he perfectly balances the charm with the cutthroat tactics in business. Only Raw Records, his latest venture, could be the biggest one yet, but only if he finds the right talent.


“The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all,” Boobie says, revealing the no-nonsense philosophy he carries. He has partnered with Dre’Quan Priest while betting big on the music scene of Vice City.



Dre’Quan Priest


Dre’Quan Priest, an aspiring music producer, has hustled his way from the street deals to the music industry. He now manages the viral rap duo Real Dimez and is determined to rewrite his destiny, making Only Raw Records the powerhouse and getting out of the strip club gigs. Priest’s ambition and sharp instincts set him apart from the typical gangsters.


“Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it,” Dre’Quan remarks, showing how all dancers and DJs are the stepping stone towards his legacy. The journey he had from the streets to the studio perfectly adds the layer of hustle within the narrative of GTA 6.



Real Dimez


Bae-Luxe and Roxy, the viral rap duo popularly known as Real Dimez, rose to fame via social media and bold rap tracks. They turned the high-school survival tactics to viral fame. His fearless attitude and his street smarts landed them the deal with Dre’Quan, but one’s fame in Vice City comes with dangers of its own. Now, signed to the Only Raw Records, they are betting on the second act.


“All my dimes in this club. Meet my twin, make it a dub,” the duo raps, embodying the flashy and unapologetic lyrics focused on success. The story of Real Dimez reflects on the modern and the influencer-driven underworld of the game.



Raul Batista


Raul, a reckless bank robber, is a smooth-talking career criminal who lives for the thrill of the score. He is always hunting for new talent to join the heists. His confidence borders on arrogance, while his risky methods can lead either to a massive score or a fatal mistake.


“Life is full of surprises, my friend. I think we'd all be wise to remember that,” Raul speaks like he’s warning. His unpredictable nature is what makes him the wildcard within the criminal ecosystem of GTA 6.



Brian Heder


Brian is an old-school smuggler who is the relic of the Vice City smuggling heyday. He now operates from the boatyard with his 3rd wife, Lori. He allows Jason to live rent-free for as long as he is ready to help him with the shady side jobs.


“I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate,” boasts Heder. Their laid-back and yet cunning demeanor further adds a nostalgic touch within the underworld of the game. As for his golden age, stories hide the fading grip on the changing landscape of the criminal world.



Other notable faces to see in GTA 6

While all the above characters now have confirmed roles, leaks suggest a few more figures like Kai, Billi, and even Jay Norris from GTA V. Whether as enemies, allies, or wildcards, each one of them will shape the journey of Jason and Lucia through the chaos of Vice City.


With the signature depth of Rockstar Games storytelling , the side characters promise to make the world of GTA feel alive, brutally entertaining, and completely unpredictable.
