GTA VI Supporting Characters: All Allies, Friends & Contacts

Jason and Lucia may be the stars of GTA VI, but they would never survive Vice City without their network of allies, friends, and underworld contacts. Rockstar has assembled one of the richest supporting casts in series history, with characters who offer not just mission variety but genuine emotional stakes and narrative depth.

This guide introduces every major supporting character in GTA VI, explaining who they are, what they offer, and how your relationships with them shape your journey through Leonida. Whether you need a getaway driver, a weapons supplier, or just someone to watch your back, the right allies make all the difference.

Core Allies: The Inner Circle

These characters form Jason and Lucia’s closest circle of trust and appear throughout the main storyline. Your relationships with them are tracked and influence major narrative outcomes.

Dwayne: The Mechanic

Role: Vehicle specialist, childhood friend, comic relief.

Dwayne has known Jason since they were kids stealing candy from Port Gellhorn gas stations. Now he runs a barely-legal auto shop on the outskirts of Vice City, and his mechanical genius is matched only by his questionable life choices.

Dwayne serves as your primary vehicle contact, offering:

• Discounted vehicle repairs and upgrades.
• Access to armored and weaponized vehicle modifications.
• Tips on rare vehicle spawn locations.
• A steady stream of vehicle theft side missions.

Dwayne’s loyalty is absolute, but his competence is situational. Several missions hinge on whether Dwayne’s modifications hold up under pressure, and his personal storyline involves a gambling debt that Jason or Lucia can choose to address or ignore.

Sonya: The Mentor

Role: Criminal mentor, Lucia’s confidante, heist planner.

Sonya met Lucia inside the correctional system, where the older woman recognized a kindred spirit. A veteran of numerous white-collar schemes and several high-profile heists, Sonya provides the strategic expertise that Jason and Lucia initially lack.

Upon her release, Sonya becomes the crew’s primary heist planner, offering:

• Detailed mission briefings and approach options.
• Access to high-end equipment and specialist crew members.
• Insight into the criminal underworld’s power structures.
• A maternal perspective that grounds Lucia’s more impulsive tendencies.

Sonya’s storyline explores themes of recidivism, redemption, and whether someone can truly leave their past behind. Her ultimate fate ties directly into the game’s ending variations.

The Broker

Role: Information dealer, fixer, morally ambiguous ally.

Known only by his professional alias, The Broker is Vice City’s premier information dealer. From a lavish office overlooking the Vice City skyline, he trades in secrets: who is moving what, when, and through which channels. Everyone in Vice City uses The Broker, and The Broker uses everyone.

The Broker provides:

• Mission tips and target location intelligence.
• Access to restricted areas through bribed officials.
• Market manipulation opportunities for stock trading.
• Connections to every faction, legitimate or otherwise.

The Broker’s true loyalties remain ambiguous throughout the game. He helps Jason and Lucia while clearly serving his own interests, and whether he ultimately proves to be a friend or foe depends on your interpretation and choices.

Mission Contacts and Service Providers

Fatima: Weapons Specialist

Operating from a series of rotating safehouses throughout Leonida, Fatima is your primary source for weapons, ammunition, and combat gear. A former military armorer with connections to international arms dealers, she offers:

• Standard and exotic weaponry for purchase.
• Ammunition types with special properties.
• Body armor and tactical gear upgrades.
• Weapon customization and modification services.

Fatima’s personal questline involves her brother’s involvement with Los Muertos, creating moral dilemmas about family loyalty versus self-preservation.

Carlos: Transport and Logistics

Carlos runs a legitimate shipping company that serves as a front for smuggling operations across the Caribbean. He provides:

• Boat and aircraft access for missions requiring maritime or aerial approaches.
• Cargo transportation for contraband running side activities.
• Safe passage between Vice City and the Leonida Keys.
• Information about maritime patrol patterns and Coast Guard operations.

Marcus: Tech Expert

Not to be confused with DEA Agent Kane, this Marcus is a brilliant but socially awkward hacker operating from a basement in Vice City’s tech district. He provides:

• Cybersecurity support during heists.
• Electronic warfare capabilities against enemy tech.
• Cryptocurrency laundering services.
• Surveillance and counter-surveillance equipment.

Valentina: Medical Contact

A disgraced surgeon working out of an underground clinic, Valentina provides medical services without questions:

• Health restoration and injury treatment.
• Access to performance-enhancing pharmaceuticals.
• Removal of wanted levels through facial reconstruction (expensive).
• Information about the pharmaceutical black market.

Nightlife and Social Contacts

Tony Prince (Returning Character)

The legendary nightclub entrepreneur from GTA Online’s After Hours update returns in GTA VI, having expanded his empire to Vice City. Tony serves as a contact for:

• Nightclub management side activities.
• VIP transportation missions.
• Access to high-society events for social stealth missions.
• Connections to celebrity clients with useful information.

Tony’s presence connects GTA VI to the broader GTA Online narrative while staying accessible to players who never touched the multiplayer mode. For more on returning characters, see our Returning Characters Guide.

Catalina: Club Promoter

A Vice City native who knows everyone worth knowing in the nightlife scene, Catalina connects Jason and Lucia to the city’s glamorous side. She offers:

• Party infiltration missions.
• Social gathering intelligence.
• Access to exclusive locations.
• Rumors and gossip that sometimes hide valuable information.

Contact Services in Free Roam

Once you have established relationships with supporting characters, they become available as contacts in your in-game phone. Here is what each type of contact offers:

Character Loyalty Missions

Several supporting characters have optional loyalty missions that unlock as your relationship with them grows. These missions:

• Provide deeper backstory and character development.
• Unlock permanent upgrades and unique abilities.
• Can affect the availability of certain main story approaches.
• May influence which endings are available.

Completing all loyalty missions for a character before the point of no return in the main story is recommended for the best possible outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you lose supporting characters permanently?

Yes. Supporting characters can die, be arrested, or abandon the protagonists based on your choices. Some losses are narrative and unavoidable, while others are preventable. The game does not always signal when a character is in danger, so paying attention to their personal storylines is important.

Do supporting characters interact with each other?

Absolutely. GTA VI features extensive inter-character dynamics, with supporting characters forming their own relationships, conflicts, and alliances independent of the protagonists. These dynamics affect mission availability and can create interesting strategic choices.

Can you recruit supporting characters for heists?

Yes. The heist planning system lets you recruit specific supporting characters for different roles, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. Choosing the right crew for each job affects the difficulty, payout, and outcome of heists. See our Missions section for heist-specific guides.

How do I improve relationships with supporting characters?

Relationships improve by completing their missions, choosing dialogue options they approve of, spending time with them in free-roam activities, and making decisions that align with their values. Neglecting characters or working against their interests will damage relationships.

Are there secret supporting characters?

Several contacts are hidden behind exploration, specific dialogue choices, or completing certain side activities. Our Secrets guide covers hidden characters and easter egg encounters throughout Leonida.
