Every GTA VI Character Rockstar Has Named

The 26 GTA VI characters Rockstar has named so far, counted step by step: who they are in Rockstar's words, where each is named, how they connect.

Last checked: Oct 11 2026.

Fan sites give very different counts for the GTA VI cast, from eight profiles to "26 named characters". The difference is mostly about what counts. This page counts only characters Rockstar itself has named, on its own site, its Newswire, or the store copy it wrote, and it shows the count step by step.

Our answer: 26 named characters so far. Twenty-five are people; the other, Macca the Gator, is a TV character inside the game's world. Nine of them have full profiles on Rockstar's Only in Leonida page, including the two leads. Two more are named in passing on that page. Two come from Ultimate Edition store copy. Thirteen come from the Oct 8 2026 radio announcement, twelve of them radio hosts.

The two leads, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, have their own page: Lucia and Jason. This page is about everyone else.

What is counted, and how

We read three Rockstar sources on Oct 11 2026: the Only in Leonida page, the GTA VI listing on the PlayStation Store (whose edition copy Rockstar wrote), and the Oct 8 2026 Newswire post on radio.

The counting rules:

A character counts if Rockstar gives them a name in game or store copy. Lucia's parents are mentioned but not named, so they do not count.
A duo counts as two people when both are named. Real Dimez are Bae-Luxe and Roxy.
Radio hosts count, because Rockstar names them as people in the game's world. We print the names Rockstar uses. Outlets have identified real performers behind some of them. That is the outlets' claim, not Rockstar's, and we leave it out here. Our GTA VI radio stations page covers the stations, and keeps the outlet claims in a separate labeled table.
Business names do not count. "Sara's Unisex Salon" and "One-Eyed Willie's" contain names, but Rockstar does not describe a Sara or a Willie.
Gangs, bands and labels are listed separately, not counted as people.

What we left out: preview impressions, names that appear only in merchandise copy, and names that appear only on fan sites or wikis. If a name is not on a Rockstar page, it is not on this page.

The named cast, beyond the leads

Name	Who they are, per Rockstar	Rockstar's tagline	Where named
Cal Hampton	Jason's friend and a fellow associate of Brian's. Feels safest at home, listening in on Coast Guard radio traffic	"What if everything on the internet was true?"	Only in Leonida
Boobie Ike	"A local Vice City legend." Turned his street years into a business empire: real estate, a strip club and a recording studio	"It's all about heart - the Jack of Hearts."	Only in Leonida
Dre'Quan Priest	Young aspiring music mogul, Boobie's partner in Only Raw Records. "Always more of a hustler than a gangster"	"Only Raw... Records"	Only in Leonida
Bae-Luxe	One half of the rap duo Real Dimez, now signed to Only Raw Records	"Viral videos. Viral hooks." (the duo's tagline)	Only in Leonida
Roxy	The other half of Real Dimez. Friends with Bae-Luxe since high school	same	Only in Leonida
Raul Bautista	"A seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent"	"Experience counts."	Only in Leonida
Brian Heder	A drug runner "from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys," still working out of his boat yard	"Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset."	Only in Leonida
Lori	Brian's third wife. Rockstar places her with him at his boat yard	none (named in Brian's profile)	Only in Leonida
DWNPLY	A local rapper. An early hit single with him took Real Dimez "to new heights"	none (named in the Real Dimez profile)	Only in Leonida
Wyman	"Eccentric collector and local fixer" who commissions the Ultimate Edition's Classic Car Collection	none	PlayStation Store
Macca the Gator	"The Goodtime State's hit TV show character." Inspires the Goodtime Gear clothing line	none	PlayStation Store
Mud Dog Mike	Back Country Radio's "roving reporter, swamp meteorologist," calling in from his Grassrivers airboat	none	Newswire, Oct 8 2026

The radio voices

Rockstar named twelve hosts across the six stations it revealed. They are listed here because they are part of the named cast. For formats, see GTA VI radio stations; for the series history of radio, see GTA radio stations.

Station	Hosts, as Rockstar names them
Cocoteo FM	El Martillo, La Gata
Back Country Radio	MW, Delta Dawne
AfroBank FM	Burna, Palmsy
The Chamber 106.6	DJ Kerry, DJ Tom
Flash FM	Robyn, Alex
Dirty South Classics	Trick, Trina

Rockstar also says Mud Dog Mike is Delta Dawne's "not-so-secret lover," the only relationship it describes between two radio personas.

Who is connected to whom

Rockstar's profiles are short, but they link the cast into two clear circles. Every link below is stated in Rockstar's copy. None is inferred.

From	To	The link, per Rockstar	Circle
Jason	Brian	Brian lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties, if he helps with local shakedowns	The Keys
Jason	Cal	Friends	The Keys
Cal	Brian	"A fellow associate of Brian's"	The Keys
Brian	Lori	Married. She is his third wife	The Keys
Jason	Lucia	Meeting her "could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him"	The leads
Boobie	Dre'Quan	Partners in Only Raw Records	Vice City music
Dre'Quan	Real Dimez	He signed them	Vice City music
Real Dimez	DWNPLY	An early hit single together	Vice City music
Dre'Quan	Boobie's club	He books acts into it, though Rockstar says those days "might be numbered"	Vice City music
Raul	His crew	Recruits talent for bank jobs. The crew members are not named	Unlinked so far
Wyman	The player	Commissions the Classic Car Collection	Ultimate Edition

What the map shows: Jason's circle is fully drawn. Cal, Brian and Lori all tie back to him. Lucia's profile names no one but Jason. The Vice City music circle of Boobie, Dre'Quan, Real Dimez and DWNPLY has no stated link to either lead yet. Raul is on his own: Rockstar describes his line of work and his habits, not who he works with. Whether these circles meet is a question for the game, not for this page.

What is not confirmed

Voice actors. Rockstar has not credited the cast on any page we read.
Any other character name. Names you see on wikis or in videos that are not listed above are not on a Rockstar page as of Oct 11 2026.
Who is playable. Rockstar describes Jason and Lucia as the leads. It has not said whether anyone else can be played.
Real people behind radio hosts. These are outlet identifications (FACTS.md R12). We do not print them.
Where each person lives in Leonida. The Only in Leonida page places its "Explore" region links between the profiles. That is page layout, and we do not read it as a statement of where anyone lives. The six regions are on our Leonida page.

Trivia

One name is left out on purpose. The Rockstar Store copy for the $399.99 Goodtime State collector's box mentions a shot glass featuring "Chunkee the Manatee." No game or edition copy names Chunkee, so the character is not in our count.
The only named gang so far is PTT Youngin$, which the store copy calls one of Southside Vice City's "loudest and most socially active gangs." Its compound is an Ultimate Edition destination.
Jason is the only character with vehicles named for him in Rockstar's edition list: "Jason's Safehouse Vehicles."
Boobie's tagline is a playing-card reference, and Raul's profile ends on one too: his crew will "double down or pull their chips from the table."
Lucia's mother's dream dates "since their days in Liberty City." See Liberty City for the city's history in the series.
