Rockstar Games has officially expanded the cast of Grand Theft Auto VI with six major characters connected to Jason, Lucia and the wider world of Leonida.
Following the release of Trailer 2, Rockstar published dedicated character profiles, screenshots, artwork and video clips that reveal much more about the people operating throughout Vice City and beyond.
The new characters are Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder.
Together, they give GTA VI a much broader network of criminals, business owners, musicians, hustlers and longtime operators across Leonida.
CAL HAMPTON
Cal Hampton is one of Jason Duval’s friends.
Rockstar presents Cal as deeply suspicious of the world around him and comfortable living on the edge of society.
He appears content with a simple and isolated lifestyle, even while Jason is looking toward bigger opportunities.
Cal’s profile suggests that his casual paranoia and unusual worldview could make him one of the more unpredictable personalities in Jason’s circle.
While Jason has ambitions that may take him deeper into Leonida’s criminal world, Cal appears far less interested in chasing the same kind of future.
BOOBIE IKE
Boobie Ike is described by Rockstar as a local Vice City legend.
He has managed to transform his history in the streets into a legitimate business empire spanning real estate, a strip club and a recording studio.
That success does not mean Boobie has left his criminal past completely behind.
Rockstar makes clear that he remains a serious businessman when money and power are involved.
His most important current partnership is with Dre’Quan Priest and their music operation, Only Raw Records.
Boobie believes in Dre’Quan’s potential and appears highly invested in turning their record label into a major success.
DRE’QUAN PRIEST
Dre’Quan Priest has always wanted a career in music.
Rockstar describes him as more of a hustler than a gangster, even though he previously dealt on the streets to make ends meet.
Music remained his real ambition.
His connection with Boobie Ike gives him an opportunity to build Only Raw Records and establish himself in Vice City’s music industry.
Dre’Quan has also signed Real Dimez to the label.
With the duo now part of Only Raw Records, Dre’Quan appears ready to move beyond booking acts at Boobie’s strip club and into the wider Vice City music scene.
REAL DIMEZ
Real Dimez is the rap duo formed by Bae-Luxe and Roxy.
The two have been friends since high school and built their identity around music, social media and street culture.
Rockstar reveals that they turned their experiences dealing with local criminals into rap tracks and an aggressive online presence.
An earlier collaboration with local rapper DWNPLY brought them significant attention.
After several difficult years, Real Dimez are now signed to Only Raw Records.
Their partnership with Dre’Quan Priest places them directly inside Vice City’s expanding music scene.
Rockstar’s character profile emphasizes their combination of viral marketing, rap music and social-media influence, making them one of the clearest examples of GTA VI’s modern cultural setting.
RAUL BAUTISTA
Raul Bautista is an experienced bank robber.
Rockstar describes him as confident, charming and highly cunning.
He is constantly searching for talented people willing to take major risks in exchange for major rewards.
Raul’s experience makes him a valuable figure in Leonida’s criminal world, but his approach also creates danger.
Rockstar explains that his recklessness raises the stakes with every score.
Eventually, the people working with Raul may have to decide whether to continue taking increasingly dangerous risks or walk away.
His profile suggests that high-level robberies and organized criminal jobs could become an important part of the wider GTA VI story.
BRIAN HEDER
Brian Heder is a veteran drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Leonida Keys.
He continues moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori.
But Brian has been in the business long enough that he increasingly prefers having other people do the dangerous work for him.
Jason is directly connected to Brian.
Rockstar reveals that Brian allows Jason to live rent-free at one of his properties.
In return, Jason helps with local shakedowns and other work connected to Brian’s operation.
This connection gives Jason an established place within the Keys’ criminal network before the larger events of GTA VI begin.
A WIDER NETWORK ACROSS LEONIDA
These six characters demonstrate how much broader GTA VI’s world is compared with the limited information revealed in Trailer 1.
Cal Hampton connects directly to Jason’s personal life.
Brian Heder represents the older smuggling world of the Leonida Keys.
Raul Bautista operates within higher-risk organized robberies.
Boobie Ike and Dre’Quan Priest connect Vice City’s criminal economy with its entertainment industry.
Real Dimez represent the intersection of music, social media and modern celebrity culture.
Together, these characters establish a network that stretches across multiple parts of Leonida.
MORE THAN SUPPORTING CHARACTERS
Rockstar has not yet revealed the complete role each character will play in Jason and Lucia’s story.
However, their detailed official profiles show that they are more than background figures.
Each has a distinct profession, history and set of relationships.
Their businesses, criminal operations and ambitions create multiple paths into Leonida’s wider world.
With Trailer 2 and the expanded GTA VI website, Rockstar has made it clear that Jason and Lucia will be surrounded by a large and interconnected cast.
Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder are now officially part of the GTA VI world.
