The most level head in The Lost and the member Johnny relies on when a decision has to survive contact with the rest of the chapter.

Michael's son: unemployed, and living almost entirely online. Every attempt at a father-and-son afternoon ends with something stolen, sunk or on fire.

The third officer in C.R.A.S.H., dragged into the unit's business and the only one of the three troubled by it.

The head of a fading Alderney family, desperate for a seat at the Commission and willing to burn every alliance he has to get one.

A San Fierro club owner and pimp at the centre of the Loco Syndicate's business, and its least discreet member.

Salvatore's son, running a garage in Trenton and expecting to inherit the family on the strength of the surname alone.

Vice president of The Lost, holding a chapter together while its president comes back from rehab looking for a war. He spends the rest of the franchise paying for decisions made in that year.
Head of the Yakuza's Anywhere City branch, working the Downtown District against the Zaibatsu Corporation and the Loonies at once.

The dying head of the Gambetti family, running the city's oldest organisation from a hospital bed and still able to make one useful introduction.

A colonel with a yacht, a daughter and an arrangement with every faction in the city, who introduces Tommy to all of them and takes a percentage of each.

The one McReary who stayed clear of the family business, and the only person who asks Niko to be something other than useful.
The Yakuza's man in Liberty City and Toshiko's husband, whose marriage is the reason she spends the story arranging his death.

A criminal defence lawyer with a cocaine habit and no nerve, who attaches himself to whoever is currently the most dangerous person in the room. It works for a while in Vice City, and much less well in San Andreas.

The Johnson sibling with the clearest view of all of them, and the only one building something in San Fierro that does not require a gun.

Asuka's brother, running the Yakuza's casino interests in Torrington and considerably more concerned with appearances than his sister is.

An English music manager talking his way through Vice City on connections he does not have, and still doing it in San Andreas years later.
A lawyer at an Algonquin firm with contacts in the courts, and the date whose favour is having a police file lost.
The head of the Yardies, recruiting Claude for work in Staunton Island while arranging for him not to survive it.

Franklin's oldest friend and the source of roughly half his problems. Loud, ambitious, and permanently one scheme away from the money he keeps describing.

Tommy's partner through the rebuilding of the Vercetti operation, increasingly convinced he is owed an equal share of it and increasingly willing to say so to the wrong people.

Ryder
A Grove Street member permanently on the edge of an argument, who takes the same deal Smoke does and is far worse at hiding it.
Lazlow
A radio presenter the franchise has followed for two decades, from a Liberty City talk show through a Vice City rock station to whatever will still book him in Los Santos.
The other Forelli man on that trip, and the other one who does not leave the dock.
Chunky Lee
A Liberty City Triad running a Chinatown noodle stand as a front for Colombian Cartel SPANK, which is what makes him a Leone target rather than a competitor.
An Ocean Beach chef taking contract work from Mr. Black on the side. Tommy Vercetti kills him in an alley and starts answering his payphone.

A police detective on the Leone payroll who treats his badge as a second income stream and expects Toni to fund it.

The planner behind the crew's largest scores. Physically frail and technically formidable, he is the reason a job that should be impossible turns out to have a route through it.

Jacob Hughes
A Jamaican gun dealer out of Dukes who becomes the steadiest friend Niko makes in Liberty City, and the one most likely to answer a phone at four in the morning.

Phil Cassidy's sister, trying to get herself and her daughter away from a husband who will not allow it.

Lucia learned to fight before she learned much else, and defending her family is what put her inside the Leonida Penitentiary. She comes out with a plan and no intention of going back — after the life her mother has been describing since their Liberty City days, and done waiting to be given it.

A Leone club owner in Portland with a permanent interest in expanding his side of the business and a permanent shortage of anybody willing to help him do it.

Luis Lopez
Bodyguard and business partner to a nightclub owner whose empire is collapsing under its own debts. Competent, exhausted, and pulled between the club, his family in Northwood and everyone owed money.
Toni's mother, who runs the family restaurant and measures her son against a father he cannot compete with, loudly and in public.

The singer of a Manchester band on a San Andreas tour, in a condition that makes the tour a containment exercise rather than a schedule.

Los Santos's biggest rapper, destroyed by the loss of his manager and his lyrics, and rebuilt by the man who took both.
Head of the Uptown Riders, an Algonquin motorcycle club with nothing in common with The Lost except the machines, and Johnny Klebitz's most reliable ally outside his own patch.
Roman Bellic's girlfriend, and the reason Niko meets half the people he works for in Liberty City — every early introduction runs through her rather than through Roman.

A former street figure turned community campaigner, filming a documentary about his own redemption while it is still going on.

Salvatore's wife, bored of the marriage and reckless enough to make that everybody else's problem. Her lies about who she is seeing set most of GTA III's second act in motion.
Marlene Allen
A young woman who came to Liberty City to act and is panhandling in Algonquin instead, asking Niko for the fare home.

A cartel figure whose patience the crew exhausts early and expensively. Everything he considers owed to him, he collects.
Owner of a failing dog food factory in Trenton who works through his creditors, his wife and her lover in that order, and puts every one of them through the machinery.

A trailer-park operator running protection, laundry and his wife's life, and the first person Victor takes a business from.

A consigliere sent from Sicily to reorganise Liberty City's families, which in practice means setting all of them against each other.
The owner of the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, which sells rather less ice cream than its fleet of vans would suggest, and who sells the whole thing to Tommy Vercetti.
The McReary mother, holding a family together on church and appearances while four of her five children work the other side of it.
One of the drinkers around Vlad Glebov in Comrades Bar, met again later trying to settle what he ran up there.

A well-connected fixer who trades favours across every faction in the city and never quite explains which one she is working for.

Big Smoke
The friendliest man on Grove Street and the one who sold it. His route from the set's elder statesman to the crack trade's chief beneficiary is the story's spine.

The colonel's daughter, entirely uninterested in the life he has arranged for her and better connected in Vice City's nightlife than he is.

Michael Townley
A retired bank robber living in Rockford Hills under a name a federal deal gave him after a job in North Yankton went wrong. Nine years of a pool, a therapist and a family who cannot stand him end the moment an old life finds him again.
Karen
Introduced to Niko Bellic as a date arranged by Mallorie, and working for a government office that does not put its name on anything.
A Leone enforcer who works alongside Toni Cipriani rather than over him, and one of the few people in the family who is straightforward about what the job is.

A Colombian Cartel lieutenant and Catalina's second, who ends up on the wrong side of both of the people he has worked for.
Martin Madrazo's son, working against his father's interests and financing the trip to Cayo Perico that follows from it.
A small-time Liberty City criminal working one last stretch of jobs with his partner Vinnie, on the understanding that the two of them leave the city afterwards. Vinnie's death in a car bombing ends that plan and starts the story.
An enforcer who worked for Ricardo Diaz and stayed on the payroll after Tommy Vercetti took the mansion.
Lips Forelli
A Forelli capo eating lunch in Saint Mark's while the Leones decide he is a problem, and the reason Joey Leone hands out a car bomb rather than a delivery.

A government operative who conscripts Carl into work nobody will ever admit happened, and is the only person in the state able to get Sweet out of prison.
