Rockstar has published detailed profiles for eight characters on the official Only in Leonida page. Two are playable protagonists. Six are supporting characters whose stories interlock with Jason and Lucia's arc across Leonida.
Jason Duval
Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder.
Grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new.
If anything happens, I'm right behind you.
Another day in paradise, right?

- Leonida Keys
Lucia Caminos
The only thing that matters is who you know and what you got.
Lucia's father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands.
A life with Jason could be her way out.

Cal Hampton
What if everything on the internet was true?
Jason's friend and a fellow associate of Brian's, Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open. Cal is at the low tide of America and happy there.
There are way too many birds flying around in perfect formation.
The psychopaths are in charge. Get used to it.

Boobie Ike
It's all about heart — the Jack of Hearts.
A local Vice City legend — and acts like it. One of the few to transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. All smiles until it's time to talk business.
The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all.
Top quality cuts.

Dre'Quan Priest
Only Raw... Records
Dre'Quan 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. Now that he's signed the Real Dimez, his days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene.
Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it.
You're with the label now.

Real Dimez (Bae-Luxe and Roxy)
Viral videos. Viral hooks.
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. An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now they're signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice.
All my dimes in this club. Meet my twin, make it a dub.
One hit away from fame.

Raul Bautista
Experience counts.
Confidence, charm, and cunning — Raul's 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.
Life is full of surprises, my friend. I think we'd all be wise to remember that.
A professional adapts.
Brian Heder
Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset.
A classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori. Been around long enough to let others do his dirty work.
I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate.
Looks like a Leonida beach bum — moves like a great white shark.

Two playable protagonists
GTA 6 is the first mainline Grand Theft Auto game with a female lead. Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are a dual-protagonist pair — the first since GTA V split control between Michael, Trevor and Franklin, and the first time a woman is one of them.
Rockstar's synopsis frames their partnership as the spine of the story: "when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."
Lucia's profile explicitly mentions Liberty City as her family's origin, making GTA 6 the first title since GTA IV to connect a protagonist's backstory to that city.
How the characters connect
The eight profiles are not isolated bios — Rockstar's text links them into a web of relationships across Leonida's criminal economy.
The Keys crew. Jason works for Brian Heder, a veteran Keys drug runner who lets Jason live rent-free in exchange for local muscle. Cal Hampton is Jason's friend and another of Brian's associates — a conspiracy-minded homebody monitoring Coast Guard frequencies. This trio operates in the island chain where smuggling is a way of life.
The Vice City music scene. Boobie Ike is a self-made Vice City figure with a real estate, strip club and recording studio empire. He partners with Dre'Quan Priest to run Only Raw Records, a label trying to break into the city's music scene. They have signed Real Dimez — the rap duo of Bae-Luxe and Roxy, whose early hit with local rapper DWNPLY gave them a taste of fame.
The heist professional. Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber described as "always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards." His profile has no named connections to the other seven, which may indicate a separate storyline or a later intersection.
The music thread
Three of the eight profiles are directly tied to a functioning music industry inside Leonida. Only Raw Records operates a recording studio and manages artists, Dre'Quan's strip club serves as an A&R pipeline, and Real Dimez bring a social-media-first approach to the scene. This depth of music-business worldbuilding is new for the series.
For the songs already confirmed in official GTA 6 videos, see the soundtrack tracker. Whether Only Raw Records connects to the in-game radio system is unknown.
