This ride-along traverses Grand Theft Auto V's rogues list—from heist masters to has-been celebrities to the lone furry who pilfers the spotlight. You'll be matching faces to names, not police records, so keep yours sharp.
Section One sizzles with marquee washed-up celebs and familial tumult. Mid-missions involve fixers, talk-show relics, and career criminals who know the getaway route better than the alphabet. Final stretch swerves into extended roster: business moguls, radio personalities, and fan-favorite misfits who still sneak their ways into quests.
Along the way, tighten up for Easter eggs on jobs, affiliations, and pretty questionable lifestyle choices. Five stars optional. Buckle up.
[D] Mrs. Phillips | Trevor's mom whose parenting explains everything and nothing simultaneously. Her brief appearance raises more questions than a conspiracy theorist at Area 51.
2/30
2. Cletus Ewing
[C] Cletus Ewing | Hillbilly sniper who teaches Trevor to hunt, because Trevor needed more ways to hurt things. His dental hygiene matches his safety standards: non-existent but somehow still functioning.
3/30
3. Steve Haines
[D] Steve Haines | FIB agent whose ego needs its own server space. His TV show is propaganda so obvious that even Los Santos residents, not known for critical thinking, see through it.
4/30
4. Karim Denz
[A] Karim Denz | Getaway driver who gets better with experience, unlike most players' driving skills. His evolution from terrible to decent mirrors everyone's first playthrough.
5/30
5. Dom Beasley
[B] Dom Beasley | Extreme sports enthusiast whose definition of "extreme" includes basic physics violations. His final stunt proves that not all dreams should be followed, especially off cliffs.
6/30
6. Taliana Martinez
[A] Taliana Martinez | Getaway driver you rescue from a crash, proving that even car accidents in GTA can be networking opportunities. Her skills make the rescue worth the medical bills.
7/30
7. Rickie Lukens
[A] Rickie Lukens | Hacker who learned everything from movies, which explains why his first attempts work about as well as movie hacking. Gets better, unlike actual movie hacking.
8/30
8. Gustavo Mota
[D] Gustavo Mota | Heist gunman whose military experience actually means something, unlike half the "ex-military" claims in Los Santos. Worth every penny, especially when things go sideways.
9/30
9. Oscar Guzman
[B] Oscar Guzman | Crew member whose reliability inversely correlates with his fee. Budget option for when you'd rather spend money on explosives than competence.
10/30
10. Maude
[C] Maude | Bail bonds dispatcher who outsources violence to Trevor, showing impressive business acumen. Her emails are more professional than most Fortune 500 communications.
11/30
11. Isiah Friedlander
[C] Isiah Friedlander | Michael's therapist charging premium rates for obvious advice. His own issues make Michael look well-adjusted, which is therapeutic in its own twisted way.
12/30
12. Ghost Dog
[B] Ghost Dog | Character so obscure that remembering him should count as an achievement. His role in the story is like his name: mostly invisible but somehow still there.
13/30
13. Cris Formage
[C] Cris Formage | Epsilon Program leader selling enlightenment at markup prices that would make pharmaceutical companies blush. His cult somehow isn't the weirdest thing in San Andreas.
14/30
14. Leonora Johnson
[C] Leonora Johnson | Murder victim whose case spans decades, proving that Los Santos cops work on geological time. Her story is darker than Trevor's browser history.
15/30
15. Devin Weston
[A] Devin Weston | Billionaire whose death options in the finale prove that money can't buy you plot armor. His yoga pants fortune built an empire of poor decisions.
16/30
16. Eddie Toh
[A] Eddie Toh | Serial killer who makes Trevor look like a mental health advocate. Finding all his victims is somehow less disturbing than his poetry.
17/30
17. Norm Richards
[B] Norm Richards | Bigfoot hunter whose quest ends exactly how you'd expect in a game this unhinged. His determination exceeds his evidence by roughly infinity percent.
18/30
18. Molly Schultz
[A] Molly Schultz | Devin's assistant whose ending proves that airports are dangerous even without the flying. Her loyalty to Devin lasted longer than most players' loyalty to the speed limit.
19/30
19. Wei Cheng
[C] Wei Cheng | Triad boss whose son's incompetence makes nepotism look like a bad investment strategy. His translator probably edits out half the profanity.
20/30
20. Hao
[C] Hao | Street racer who only appears at night, like a automotive vampire. His races are the only illegal activity in the game that actually requires skill.
21/30
21. Denise Clinton
[D] Denise Clinton | Franklin's aunt whose feminist meetings sound more violent than Trevor's rampages. Her walking group probably has a higher body count than most gangs.
22/30
22. Nigel
[B] Nigel | British superfan whose celebrity obsession makes stan culture look balanced. His accent is the only thing faker than the celebrities he stalks.
23/30
23. Tonya
[D] Tonya | Tow truck dispatcher whose boyfriend JB is mysteriously always "sick." Their business model is basically Franklin doing unpaid internships with trucks.
24/30
24. Abigail Mathers
[B] Abigail Mathers | Widow whose submarine piece collection is definitely not suspicious at all. Her grief lasts exactly as long as it takes to cash the insurance check.
25/30
25. Daryl Johns
[A] Daryl Johns | Minor character whose main achievement is existing in the same game as more interesting people. Still somehow more developed than protagonists in other games.
26/30
26. Jimmy Boston
[A] Jimmy Boston | Character whose name you remember better than his face or purpose. His contribution to the story is like a whisper in a hurricane.
27/30
27. Karl Abolaji
[B] Karl Abolaji | Party guest at one of the game's many terrible parties. His presence proves that even NPCs in Los Santos have poor judgment about social events.
28/30
28. Agent Sanchez
[D] Agent Sanchez | Government agent whose job security depends on how badly the plot needs exposition. His clearance level is somewhere between "classified" and "convenient."
29/30
29. Ursula
[C] Ursula | Hitchhiker whose rain-summoning ability makes her more supernatural than anything in Mount Chiliad. Dating her is basically weather manipulation with extra steps.
30/30
30. Hugh Welsh
[B] Hugh Welsh | Character so forgettable that the game probably forgot to remove his spawn code. His existence is proof that Los Santos has a population beyond the main cast.
