Yes is/was better friends with Billy, Yes, but shouldn't we also mention he is a MEMBER of the biker gang as well? And no spoliers!

It should be pointed out that the protagonist is not always the hero of the story, as implied in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' games. They may commit crimes of some sort, (which the protagonists of the GTA games certainly do) but he/she is still considered the lead character, and is known to help out his/her friends, allies or close associates. | It should be pointed out that the protagonist is not always the hero of the story, as implied in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' games.

The protagonists between [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] share similar qualities. All protagonists are new to town, either returning after a long time gone (such as [[Carl Johnson]] and [[Toni Cipriani]]) or have never been to the city before (such as [[Claude]], [[Tommy Vercetti]], [[Mike]], [[Victor Vance]] and [[Niko Bellic]]). The protagonists usually start with nothing, with minimal influence and reputation, having to do odd jobs around for various small-timers, gaining friends and allies (like [[Asuka Kasen]], [[Avery Carrington]], [[Wu Zi Mu]], and [[Little Jacob]]) before moving up the social and ecomonical ladder, attempting to rise through the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. They eventually start establishing a name for themselves in the town, doing real jobs, making bigger and more powerful friends and business partners, and cutting real deals as their prominence, respect, money, and reputation begins to grow, until they end the game on top of the city, or at least with some powerful business and/or friends. | The protagonists between [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] share similar qualities.
