Cal Hampton
Cal’s profile opens with a question: “What if everything on the internet was true?” He is “Jason’s friend and a fellow associate of Brian’s“, and feels safest at home, “snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open”. His two official quotes fit that picture: “There are way too many birds flying around in perfect formation.” and “The psychopaths are in charge. Get used to it.”
The profile ends on a contrast with Jason: Cal is “at the low tide of America and happy there”, while “his friend Jason has bigger plans”. Our reading: Cal is the one who has made peace with life in the Keys, which makes him a useful mirror for Jason. Listening in on the Coast Guard could matter for anyone moving goods by boat, but Rockstar has not said that it does.
Brian Heder
Brian is “a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys”. He still moves product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, and has been around long enough “to let others do his dirty work”. His quotes: “Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset.” and “I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate.” Rockstar sums him up as someone who “looks like a Leonida beach bum” but “moves like a great white shark”.
Brian is officially tied to Jason: he lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties, “so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori’s sangria once in a while”. Trailer 2 opens on this relationship (see the scene list below). Cal is also described as an associate of Brian’s, which makes Brian the center of Jason’s circle in the Leonida Keys.
Boobie Ike
“It’s all about heart: the Jack of Hearts.” Boobie is “a local Vice City legend: and acts like it”. He is one of the few who turned their time in the streets into a legitimate empire, “spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio”, and he is “all smiles until it’s time to talk business”. His quotes: “The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all.” and “Top quality cuts.”
The project he cares about most is his partnership with Dre’Quan for Only Raw Records; “now they just need a hit”. Our reading: his own quote admits that the legitimate businesses still rest on drug money, so “legitimate” is relative. Boobie is Rockstar’s clearest link between Vice City’s nightlife and its music scene.
Dre’Quan Priest
“Only Raw… Records.” Dre’Quan “was always more of a hustler than a gangster”. Even while dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal. His quotes: “Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record’s a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin’ it.” and “You’re with the label now.”
Now that he has signed Real Dimez, his days of booking acts into Boobie’s strip club “might be numbered”, as he sets his sights on the wider Vice City scene. Our reading: Dre’Quan is the one in the Only Raw trio who wants to grow beyond Boobie’s club, which could create friction between the partners. Rockstar has not confirmed any conflict.
Real Dimez
“Viral videos. Viral hooks.” Real Dimez are Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school, “girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence”. Their quote: “All my dimes in this club. Meet my twin, make it a dub.” And: “One hit away from fame.”
An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY “took Real Dimez to new heights”. Now, “after five years and a whole lot of trouble”, they are signed to Only Raw Records, “hoping lightning can strike twice”. DWNPLY is only named in their profile; Rockstar has not presented him as a character.
Raul Bautista
“Experience counts.” Raul brings “confidence, charm, and cunning” and is “a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards”. His quote: “Life is full of surprises, my friend. I think we’d all be wise to remember that.” And: “A professional adapts.”
The warning sits at the end of his profile: “Raul’s recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table.” His profile names no other character. Whether Jason and Lucia join his crew has not been confirmed.
How the supporting cast connects
Brian and Cal belong to Jason’s circle in the Keys. Boobie, Dre’Quan and Real Dimez are tied together through Only Raw Records in Vice City. Raul stands alone in the official texts. The overview of all eight is on our GTA 6 characters hub.
Trailer appearances
Only one supporting-cast scene is verified so far: Brian at the start of Trailer 2 (timestamp below). Several other people appear in the trailers, but unless Rockstar names them or the official captions identify them, we do not assign them to a character. Scenes from An Extended Look are still being checked.
