    AntagonistGTA IV

    AntagonistGTA: Vice City StoriesMendez Cartel
  • Dimitri Rascalov, as they appear in GTA IV.

    AntagonistGTA IV
  • Donald Love, as they appear in GTA: Liberty City Stories.

    A media magnate and property developer who appears across three titles, buying newspapers, running for mayor and arranging the events his papers then report.

    SupportingGTA 2SRS Scientists
  • Dre'Quan in a blue suit at a poolside party at night, a drink in his hand.

    Tenpenny's partner, with the same arrangements and none of the restraint, and rather more open about enjoying the work.

  • The head of the Diablos, running Hepburn Heights and a publishing sideline nobody asked him about.

    SupportingGTA IIIDiablos
  • A Bohan dealer running an operation large enough to have attracted federal attention, and paranoid enough to know it.

    SupportingGTA IV: The Lost and Damned · GTA IV

    SupportingGTA 2Loonies
  • English Dave, as they appear in GTA Online.

    A nightclub promoter who books the acts, calls in the favours and is never the one left holding the consequences.

    SupportingGTA Online

    SupportingGTA IV

    SupportingGTA: Vice City

    SupportingGTA: Vice City Stories
  • Jason leaning on a bar counter in a cap and vest, looking at the camera, neon signs and other drinkers behind him.
