Jason Duval

Jason Duval is the second main character in Grand Theft Auto VI, and you play as him just like you do with Lucia. Rockstar introduces him on Only in Leonida with the line: “Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder.”

The official profile states that he grew up surrounded by con artists and criminals. After a stint in the Army to leave his troubled adolescence behind, he ended up in the Keys doing what he does best: working for local drug dealers. “Maybe it’s time to try something new,” says Rockstar.

As for Lucia, the profile is deliberately ambiguous: “Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him.”

In Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025), Jason is the first to appear clearly. He’s on the roof of a house in the Keys. Brian Heder asks him what he’s doing up there, and he replies, “Oh, just fixing some leaks.” Then we see him on the porch, driving down a street lined with low-rise houses, and at the visitor’s desk at Leonida Penitentiary. There, he gives his name to pick up Lucia. Near the end, you hear, “You and me, Lu, we’ve got this.”

In the Extended Look (August 27, 2026), Jason is in every mission. In the mission involving Raul’s heist, he fires a rifle from the trunk while wanted at four stars (14:12). On the rooftop, Brian tells him the story of a childhood friend who died on a merry-go-round and concludes: “You’ve got to know when to quit, Jason” (12:16, official subtitles).

The launch trailer (October 15, 2026) begins with his voice on the phone: “I got in some trouble in the Army” and “Didn’t leave on the best of terms.” The same video shows a commando using night vision in a swamp. The press links this to Jason’s military past, but the shot doesn’t reveal who he is.

• Lucia Caminos: his partner. In the game, they can be a couple or just partners (Famitsu, August 28, 2026), but they can’t break up completely (Game Informer, September 29).
• Brian Heder: his landlord. According to Brian’s profile, he lets Jason live rent-free in one of his houses as long as Jason helps him with local extortion schemes and stops by occasionally for Lori’s sangria.
• Cal Hampton: his friend. Cal’s profile states that Cal is doing well in the “low tide” of the United States, but that his friend Jason “has bigger plans.”
• Raul Bautista, Boobie Ike, and Val: the ones who give them jobs in the Extended Look.

It hasn’t been confirmed. Neither Rockstar nor any actor has said anything as of October 17, 2026. The only confirmed voice in the cast is Stephen Root (Brian), as stated by the actor himself; Manni L. Perez (Lucia) has not been officially confirmed.

• What “mess” he got into in the Army and why it went wrong.
• Whether the swamp commando from the launch trailer is him and whether it’s a flashback.
• How long he’s known Lucia: the trailers don’t clarify whether their relationship began before or after prison.
• Who the actor playing him is.
