GTA 6 Supporting Characters: Everyone Rockstar Has Revealed

A conspiracy theorist, a semi-retired smuggler, a club owner with a record label and a bank robber looking for a crew. Every GTA 6 supporting character officially confirmed.

Rockstar has published exactly eight standalone character profiles for Grand Theft Auto VI. Two are the leads. The other six cover the supporting cast — and one further character, Lori Heder, is officially named and described inside somebody else’s entry rather than getting a page of her own.

That’s a focused reveal three months out from launch, and it’s useful precisely because it’s short. Everything Rockstar has chosen to say about Leonida’s ensemble fits on one page, and it sketches a criminal world with real clarity: smuggling in the Keys, business and music in Vice City, and armed robbery at the top end.

Here’s everyone, and what they actually do. For release details, see our complete GTA 6 guide.

The confirmed supporting cast

  • Cal Hampton — Jason’s friend, conspiracy theorist, Keys
  • Brian Heder — veteran smuggler, Jason’s boss and landlord
  • Lori Heder — Brian’s third wife, co-runs the boat yard
  • Boobie Ike — Vice City businessman, club owner, label partner
  • Dre’Quan Priest — music executive, Only Raw Records
  • Real Dimez — rap duo Bae-Luxe and Roxy
  • Raul Bautista — bank robber and crew recruiter

One precision point worth having: there are eight standalone profiles in total — Jason, Lucia, and six covering the supporting cast, with Real Dimez sharing one between them. Lori has no standalone profile; she’s named and described inside Brian’s entry, which makes her an officially named supporting character all the same. So the count is eight profiles, not ten bios, as some roundups have it.

Cal Hampton

The best-written of the six, and probably the one people will quote.

Cal Hampton in Grand Theft Auto VI

Rockstar opens Cal’s profile with a question rather than a description: “What if everything on the internet was true?” He’s Jason’s friend and a fellow Brian Heder associate, and he’s happiest at home with a few beers, listening in on Coast Guard radio and working through private browser tabs. Rockstar’s phrase for where he’s landed in life is the low tide of America — and notes he’s perfectly content there.

He also gets the line about the psychopaths being in charge and everyone needing to get used to it, which tells you the register the character is pitched at.

Trailer 2 puts him at The Rusty Anchor bar with Jason and inside Brian’s boat yard. Whether he’s comic relief, the surveillance guy, or something with more weight is unconfirmed — but a paranoid friend who monitors law enforcement comms is a familiar shape in this series, and it isn’t usually a background one.

Brian Heder and Lori Heder

Brian is a veteran Keys drug runner from what Rockstar calls the golden age of the trade — senior enough now to delegate. He still moves product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori. He lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties in exchange for help with local shakedowns, plus turning up occasionally for Lori’s sangria.

That arrangement is the single most useful detail Rockstar has published about the early game. Jason doesn’t have a job; he has a debt with a roof attached.

Lori is Brian’s third wife and co-runs the boat yard with him. She has no standalone profile and hasn’t been definitively identified in trailer footage, so whether she’s a mission character or set dressing is genuinely unknown.

Boobie Ike

A Vice City figure who converted street earnings into a portfolio: real estate, the Jack of Hearts strip club, and a recording studio.

Rockstar’s bio is unusually candid about the funding structure — the club money pays for the studio, and the drug money pays for everything. There’s no pretence of a clean-businessman arc here.

He’s one of only two supporting characters on the official cover art, where he’s shown wearing an oversized gold ring bearing a crowned lion. Rockstar doesn’t put people on GTA box art casually; both Boobie and Raul appearing alongside the leads suggests story weight rather than cameo status.

Dre’Quan Priest and Real Dimez

Dre’Quan dealt on the street to get by, but Rockstar frames him as a hustler rather than a gangster — music was always the actual ambition. He co-runs Only Raw Records with Boobie Ike and wants out of booking acts into strip clubs and into something mainstream.

Dre'Quan Priest with Real Dimez in Grand Theft Auto VI

His route there is Real Dimez, the duo of Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school who built a following by turning street reputation into viral content.

One correction here, because it’s circulating wrongly: their hit single, from five years back, was a collaboration with a local rapper called DWNPLY. DWNPLY is a person, not the name of the track. Several roundups have it as their breakout song title.

Together the three of them are the game’s music-industry satire — clout, streaming, and where the recording budget actually comes from.

Raul Bautista

The most consequential of the six, on current evidence.

Raul Bautista in Grand Theft Auto VI

Rockstar describes a seasoned, charming, cunning bank robber who’s always looking for people willing to take a big risk for a bigger payoff — and notes that his appetite for risk raises the stakes for everyone on the crew.

He represents the high-stakes end of the criminal world Rockstar has revealed so far. On the cover art he’s outside Sinfrontera National Bank — the same bank Jason and Lucia rob in Trailer 2 — with a duffel bag and a Duke-branded assault rifle, bandana lowered. Our Trailer 2 breakdown covers that sequence.

How he connects with Jason and Lucia has not yet been explained. Nor has whether he’s an ally, an employer, or the reason the easy score goes wrong.

How it all connects

The six map onto three tiers of one economy.

The Keys are the bottom rung — Brian’s boat yard moving product, Jason collecting, Cal listening to the authorities. Low money, low risk, no exit.

Vice City is where street money, nightlife, music and reputation intersect. Boobie’s real estate and club fund Dre’Quan’s label, which turns Real Dimez’s notoriety into revenue.

Raul is the ladder between them, and the one offering a route that doesn’t involve waiting.

What Rockstar hasn’t revealed

No voice cast, for anyone. Not one supporting performer has been credited. Fans and some outlets have named actors based on voice resemblance in Trailer 2; none is confirmed, and we’re not repeating them.

No playable supporting characters. Jason and Lucia are the only leads. Cal is not a third protagonist.

And a lot of role detail is missing: whether Boobie hires the protagonists directly, whether Real Dimez appear in missions or only on radio and social feeds, whether Lori exists outside Brian’s bio, and whether Raul is antagonist or accomplice.

The bottom line

Rockstar has so far kept GTA VI’s officially profiled supporting cast relatively focused. But the characters revealed are unusually legible: each occupies a distinct part of Leonida’s criminal world, and together they sketch how a couple robbing liquor stores in the Keys might end up in a statewide conspiracy.

The Extended Look on August 27 is the next announced GTA VI presentation — and the obvious place to watch for anyone new.
