Jason Duval is one of the two main characters of Grand Theft Auto VI, which launches on November 19, 2026. Rockstar Games has shared a character profile for him, and your uploaded official artwork gives a first look at how he is presented. This page collects what has been officially said, and keeps clear of rumours.
Who is Jason?
Rockstar’s profile, as reported by outlets covering the reveal, describes Jason as a former soldier who grew up in a family tied to crime in Vice City. After leaving the military he ended up in the Leonida Keys, where he works for drug runners. He is described as someone who wants an easier life but keeps getting pulled back into trouble.
The Keys connection
The profiles place Jason in the Keys, where he lives and works under an old-school smuggler, Brian Heder. He is said to stay at Brian’s place rent-free in exchange for helping with local shakedowns. You can read more about that group in our Keys crew guide.
Meeting Lucia
The story, in Rockstar’s words, begins when an easy score goes wrong and Jason and Lucia end up caught in a criminal conspiracy across Leonida, relying on each other to survive. The profiles describe the meeting as something that could change Jason’s life for better or worse. Read the matching profile in our Lucia Caminos guide.
What stands out
- He is a lead character, not a side role, and the story is built around him and Lucia.
- His background mixes a military past with a criminal upbringing.
- His work in the Keys connects him to other named characters, such as Brian Heder and Cal Hampton.
