Characters in GTA Vice City: Difference between revisions

*Introduced in: '[[The Party]]'

[[Avery Carrington]] is a successful Texan property magnate, real estate mogul and extreme capitalist. He enjoys quoting his father and using old-western euphemisms. He is willing to do anything to manipulate property prices and land value, including arson, rioting, bribery, intimidation, and murder. He always wears a cowboy hat and rides in a black limousine. Carrington has been suspected by the police to be wearing a wig, although this is only explicitly revealed in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. Donald Love: (As Avery's corpse is stolen by [[Toni Cipriani]]) "Avery. Oh, Avery! How you've aged since we last met. You used to feed me such pearls of wisdom. And soon I shall dine again! My God! He's wearing a wig!" ("Morgue Party Resurrection," Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.) The official [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] website appears to reference this trivia as well. MeTV News presenter: "Since they helped us win Vietnam, helicopters have been America's favorite way of dying in air accidents. But the helicopter traffic in Vice City has made it unsafe. Only last week, a popular local real estate entrepreneur had his wig blown off by a run away chopper." (Official Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories website; "Helicopter" segment.)

*Introduced in: "Juju Scramble"

[[Auntie Poulet]] is an elderly [[Haitian]] matriarch, leader of the Haitian gang (which she also uses as her own protection). She gives [[Tommy Vercetti]] mind-altering voodoo potions to get him to cooperate in the missions she wants him to undertake. This includes acting against the Cubans, with whom he has friendly relations. However, when the potion's effects wear off, Tommy shows no memory of what he has done for the Haitians. Ultimately, she cuts her ties with him and wishes that he not return to [[Little Haiti]], but when Tommy does do so, he receives a final phone call from Auntie Poulet (''"Why you coming here fee? Me tell you we don't want to see you around here no more."'') and makes permanent enemies of the Haitian gang. Following Poulet's final mission, Tommy is given the opportunity to destroy the Haitians' main drug operations plant.

*Introduced in: "The Party", although he may be heard on KCHAT or commercials before the mission

[[BJ Smith]] is the former tight-end of the Vice City Mambas professional American football team, haunted by problems off the field. He is a frequent guest at [[Juan Cortez]]' parties, and has had a little trouble adjusting to life off of the gridiron. He created the exercise video "BJ's Fit for Football" and used to own BJ's Used Autos (which police suspect is a front for selling stolen cars; the showroom was later bought over by Tommy Vercetti), and is preparing for a comeback into football. BJ's approach in life is said to be heavy handed, citing football as an inspiration to his claims of resolving many of life's challenges with aggression and violence. BJ is also in debt with loan sharks and is doing anything for money.

===Congressman Alex Shrub===

*Introduced in: "The Party," although he may be heard on the [[VCPR]] radio talk show before the mission

[[Alex Shrub]] is a right wing politician who became the youngest state congressman in Florida history because, according to [[Maurice Chavez]], "he has great hair and says things that make you nod your head." Shrub is a delusional congressman who knowingly tries to cover up and distract people from the fact that Vice City is going downhill under his term. He cares only about money and has allowed businesses to do as they please, such as the legalization of Giggle Cream, a hazardous dessert which has killed 23 people. Eventually, he is blackmailed by Vercetti and Scott after they acquire photographs of the politician engaged in crossdressing and extra-marital affairs.
