The protagonists between [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] share similar qualities. Most 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]], [[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 economical 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. Abnormal protagonists would be [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] and [[Johnny Klebitz]] who have always lived in Liberty City or Alderney and have already established their name, powerful friends, and high social and economical standing at the start of the game and must defend it from competitors. Most protagonists have a consistent distaste of drugs, and while deal and work with them, never use them. The protagonists of [[Grand Theft Auto V]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Online]] also have lived in [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] for at least a little while before the game begins.

However the [[GTA Online Protagonist]] is new to Los Santos.  


The opposite of a protagonist is an '''[[antagonist]]''', which is the main person working against the protagonist and his actions. Again, this can be a villain or a hero, though usually a villain.
