Who Jason is

Rockstar Games character profile

Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new.

Rockstar Games character profile

Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell.

Brian Heder lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties, as long as he helps with local shakedowns.

Jason's friend Cal Hampton is a fellow associate of Brian's. Rob Nelson told Famitsu that Jason is former special forces, which is why one early mission locks you to him.

You can switch between Jason and Lucia at any time, including mid-robbery, or split them up to do separate things.
