Antagonists, or simply enemies, are the main villains of the Grand Theft Auto games. The antagonist of a GTA game is usually a person that has betrayed or hurt the protagonist on a personal and socially level, and spends the game moving against the protagonist in multiple ways.
Description of Most Antagonists
In the GTA games, the main antagonist is introduced at the very beginning of the game, but as a ally or friend. Sometimes, the antagonist is the main reason that a protagonist visits the city/state. In most GTA games with antagonists, they usually fake a friendship or business relationship with the protagonist then suddenly, in one mission, reveal their hate for the main character and begin to open fire on them with a weapon. The main character always hunts down and eliminates the antagonist eventually.
Antagonists usually have a gang behind them for protection. The main character will battle the antagonist group and usually take them over.
