Grand Theft Auto VI is promised to us in two parts, each following the unique story of one of the two main protagonists of the game. As we have already told you before, the two protagonists of Grand Theft Auto VI are going to be Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, both “kidded” into a huge crime scheme that has been wreaking havoc across the states of Vice City and Leonida.

Her upbringing was extremely difficult, her father, a street brawler, had taught her how to fight from a very young age, and it was for her father’s involvement in a fight to protect his family that got her and her mother sent to the Leonida Penitentiary when Lucia was a teenager. After her release from prison, Lucia seems to be going down the right path, trying to avoid past mistakes, planning for her future, trying to make the right decisions and get the right people on her side in order to build the kind of life that her mother wanted for their family all those years they lived in Liberty City.

For now though, it seems as though the two are progressing along the path that they are currently on. And though they are reaching for something more than the fleeting high of wealth and power, it’s not hard to imagine the downward spiral of complete chaos and disaster that could ensue the further that they delve into their current world of crime. But for now, the promise of the life that her mother had wanted for them in Liberty City, is what’s driving Lucia forward.

Below is a complete character guide on Lucia Caminos including her confirmed backstory, her time in prison, her character, her family and their motivations, her relationship with Jason Duval and what to expect from her in GTA 6. This guide will be updated with confirmed facts and try to avoid mixing in any rumors.

Who Is Lucia Caminos in GTA 6?

The other main protagonist in GTA 6 is Lucia Caminos, who together with Jason Duval (although Rockstar haven’t confirmed the other protagonists name yet) are playing through the main story of the game.

In the Rockstar bio of Lucia, it states that despite her tumultuous past Lucia has undergone significant change, and is no longer the reckless woman she once was. Although she is now out of prison, Lucia is not taking any unnecessary risks, and is striving to take control of her life.

The Rockstar profile for Lucia Caminos states that she is trying to improve her circumstances and is doing everything in her power to make sure that she achieves her goals and lives the life that she wants to live. She’s not a helpless female waiting to be rescued by some powerful male.

She has her own background, her own objectives for entering the world of crime and her own goals and ambitions for the future with Jason. She’s not just a sidekick to Jason, following him around in crime and doing what he says.

Lucia Caminos’ Childhood and Family Background

So far, we have been given very little information about GTA 6’s new protagonist, Lucia and her childhood, and what we do know, gives us an insight into her character.

Teaching Lucia how to fight at a young age was Lucia’s father’s contribution to her personality. As opposed to the environment changing in order to ensure her safety, Lucia grew up in a world where she had to defend herself.

For now, all we know about Lucia’s father is that he did what he did, what happened to him afterwards and whether he will even feature in the main story of GTA 6 remains a mystery. But what we do know is that he was a big part of Lucia’s development into the physically confident and strong headed character she is today.

In terms of motivation, it is her mother that is most relevant to the character, a high aspirational person who tried to build a better life for her and her family while living in Liberty City. She didn’t seem to be the type of person to get caught up in unrealistic promises of easy cash or ‘lucky breaks’, and it’s clear that Lucia isn’t either.

To Lucia money, security and independence equal the full realization of her and her family’s dreams.

Did Lucia Live in Liberty City?

It seems official Rockstar character info have confirmed that Lucia and her mother lived in Liberty City before.

The fictional city of Liberty City is Rockstar’s interpretation of New York City. Liberty City is featured in several of the Grand Theft Auto games including GTA III and more recently in the multi-award winning GTA IV.

We don’t know yet if Lucia was born in Liberty City, how long she and her family resided there or even why they moved to Leonida. It is possible that Rockstar included Liberty City only in Lucia’s backstory. We could possibly hear more about the location through GTA 6 in-game dialogue, memories or even other characters.

No confirmation has been released regarding Liberty City being a playable location in the game.

Why Was Lucia in Prison?

Lucia was sent to the Leonida Penitentiary after fighting for her family. Rockstar has not revealed the exact incident, criminal charge or length of her sentence.

This distinction is important because many online theories attempt to provide a complete explanation despite Rockstar deliberately keeping those details secret.

The first GTA 6 trailer introduced Lucia inside a correctional facility, speaking with a prison employee about the circumstances that brought her there. Later official information explains that her imprisonment was connected to protecting or fighting for her family.

That does not tell us whether the incident involved self-defence, retaliation, robbery or another offence. Until Rockstar reveals more through gameplay or story material, any specific explanation remains speculation.

How Did Lucia Get Out of Prison?

Rockstar revealed this morning that Lucia is out of prison. We don’t know if she’s out of prison early, on parole, released on some sort of agreement or just lucky with her case.

She won’t get the same chance again. She hasn’t left prison because all her problems have been solved, she’s left because she’s been given an opportunity that Rockstar have deemed.

In terms of future crime, Lucia’s early release from prison marks a turning point in her life. She plans to make better decisions in the future than she made in the past when her behavior was frequently out of control and put her in jeopardy of losing her freedom.

She is not suddenly going to stop committing crimes. In the official gameplay of Rockstar Games, you can see footage of her and Jason in various robberies and other dangerous situations. However in this new version of Lucia, she is trying to execute her actions with a plan unlike her previous behavior which was fueled by her anger and/or desperation.

What Does Lucia Want?

Lucia wants to create a better life for herself and her family. This is her dream and it is the same dream that her mother had when she was living in Liberty City.

For Lucia, a better life doesn’t necessarily mean material possessions. It means a more secure life. A life of stability. A life where she can protect her family and have control over her life. A life away from Liberty City where she can forget her childhood.

Her notion of dreams not becoming a reality and thus not changing anything is epitomized by her notion of planning, money and good contacts as the determinants of reaching her goals.

Much of Lucia’s insecurity stems from the fact that as she becomes more and more involved in more ambitious criminal activity, the smaller, short term riches of say a series of robberies, will not be enough to free her from her troubles. A large score is needed to give her the financial independence she so desperately seeks.

Will this be the moment that changes her life for good or just another headache?

Lucia Caminos’ Personality

The 17 year old girl in this story is a very determined, practical, confident and family-orientated young girl. Despite her very tough background she hasn’t allowed her circumstances to distract her from her goals, rather it has given her great insight and awareness of circumstances.

Rather than taking a risk for the sake of it, for Lucia taking a risk will be a means to an end. For her to get involved in something that carries some sort of danger, she must think that overall the consequences will be favorable.

For example, Official footage of Lucia is usually of her standing / sitting / walking around in a very focused state. For example in some of the official screenshots of Lucia speaking with Jason, she has led the discussion to a conclusion.

From what I have seen of Lucia she appears to be an emotionally controlled person. She has been through some very difficult times (prison, tough home life, uncertainty about her future) but she seems determined to move on.

Although she appears to be in control, Lucia is shown to be physically aggressive in the official Polybius screenshots, training herself up in physical combat after being taught by her father. The main difference here is that before, she wanted to use her physicality to carry out crimes, but now she wants to use it in an intelligent and strategic manner.

Is Lucia Reckless or Calculated?

Unlike many others who are willing to take big risks, Lucia from Rockstar Games’ latest release has gone from reckless to calculated after her stint in prison.

Her time in prison taught her how one impulsive decision can change your life forever and after her release from prison she has been making smart move after smart move.

Even though Lucia is being calculated does not mean she is making the right choices. She might think robbing, tricking people or getting involved with some other nasty criminal is smart for her.

The two opposing factors of Lucia’s actions will be central to the development of her character. Firstly there will be the world of criminality that offers her the freedom from her current problems. But then there will be the threat that that very world could bring to her future.

Lucia and Jason’s Relationship

Lucia Duval and Jason Duval are at the center of the GTA 6 story line. According to Rockstar Games, life with Jason could be the answer to troubled Lucia’s prayers.

On his side, Jason thinks that meeting Lucia will be either the best thing that ever happened to him or the worst.

The official story for the relationship between Jason and Lucia is that they’ve always known they’re fighting a losing battle. After a simple job goes horribly wrong, Jason and Lucia find themselves pulled into the world of crime, and must fight against a host of conspirators and powerful cartels all vying for control of the sprawling city of Leonida.

As the story progresses, Jason and Lucia will be forced to rely on each other in order to survive. Establishing their trust in each other will be hard enough as it is as they get closer to each other, and in the end it could be the deciding factor to whether they live or die as they are hunted by various people and organizations throughout the story in the city of Leonida.

Are Lucia and Jason a Couple?

Official trailers and promotional videos of the game appear to portray the main characters, particularly the relationship of Lucia and Jason, who are also partners in crime for the game.

We are left in the dark about the duration of their acquaintance at the start of the game and whether their relationship will develop throughout the rest of the game.

Also we don’t know if the relation between the two main characters can be changed in the game by the player or if they are just following a fixed story line.

What we have seen of the two characters looks promising. Lots of affection, lots of loyalty but there is bound to be some tension in there at some point as the two of them try to manage their relationship through the money, pressure, failed jobs and other ‘interests’ that they are no doubt surrounded by.

Is Lucia the Leader of the Partnership?

Rockstar Games has yet to confirm which character is leading Lucia and Jason in the upcoming Rockstar Games Heist Game. From what we can tell so far both characters are perfectly capable of coming up with a plan and leading the way to reach their goals through heists in order to get rich.

In comparison to Lucia who presents herself as direct, determined and single-minded in her pursuit of completing a task, Jason appears to be the complete opposite. Instead of coming up with the easiest way to complete a job, he is always on the lookout for the option that is to pose the least amount of risk in terms of trouble.

This could mean that Lucia is driving the partnership to greater heights while Jason is weighing up the dangers of their actions. Alternatively, the way in which Rockstar intend for the two characters to function in terms of their partnership could change as the game unfolds.

Their relationship will work because they’re strong in different areas and it won’t be because one person is the leader of the other.

Will Lucia Be a Playable Character?

Lucia is officially presented as one of GTA 6’s two main protagonists. Rockstar’s trailers and promotional material show the story from both Lucia and Jason’s perspectives.

However, Rockstar has not yet published a complete gameplay demonstration explaining exactly how players switch between them.

The game could use a system similar to GTA 5, where players could move between multiple protagonists. It could also introduce a more restricted system in which control changes according to the mission or story situation.

Until Rockstar demonstrates the system, claims about instant switching, character-specific missions or exclusive abilities should not be treated as confirmed.

What Gameplay Abilities Could Lucia Have?

No ability for Lucia announced in any Rockstar game or online service, including GTA Online.

We already know a bit about Lucia’s physical capabilities, how she is really comfortable in very risky situations and her defense skills. In official media like trailers we see her in the gym preparing for a heist or actually doing the heist.

These would be used for the game’s animations and the design of missions that feature the character of Lucia, but would not confirm a special ability for the character in the form of a unique skill or talent that other characters do not possess.

Similar Special skills, like Trevor’s Shocks or Michael’s Stunt skills, are found in other Rockstar Open World Games. However similar Ability for Lucia is just a Fan Theory circulating online until confirmed by Rockstar in an official announcement.

Lucia’s Role in the GTA 6 Story

Lucia is the main force driving the story forward. After being released from prison for only a short period of time, she doesn’t want to fall back into her old ways of failing.

As part of her partnership with Jason, Lucia will become involved in a variety of robberies as she becomes part of Leonida’s world of crime. She could come into contact with characters like Raul Bautista who will give her the opportunity to become involved in even more complex activities, or she could meet people who are part of the Vice City businesses, gangs and music scene, all of which could give her more opportunities in her new life.

Lucia and Jason’s seemingly easy score goes terribly wrong and they find themselves deep inside a large crime organization.

Everything is left to the player’s imagination. What does the organization even look like? What was that simple job that went wrong? Can Jason be trusted with the partnership with Lucia or does he only use it for his own interest?

Whether or not Lucia will manage to sustain her life of crime and carry out the tasks assigned her by Jason will depend on her own choices as to their partnership and its goals. In the end it will not matter whether or not she has carried out her assigned tasks correctly. What will be decisive for her future is whether or not Jason is merely using her in the partnership as he would use any other business partner for his own purposes.

How Lucia Differs From Previous GTA Protagonists

Grand Theft Auto 6 and the Grand Theft Auto series’ new starting point with protagonist Lucia.

Unlike many of her predecessors, Lucia isn’t already rich and looking for a fun time in GTA. Nor is she depicted as reckless and thoughtless in her behavior with negative consequences for herself befalling her time and again. Rather, she’s a wealthy woman but her wealth hasn’t brought her the security and better life that her mother had envisioned for her. She wants to move to a better life.

Unlike GTA V, in GTA 6 the story of Lucia is closely connected to her family. Her mothers dream for a better life is a driving force behind her in achieving her life goal.

An additional point of distinction between Lucia and previous Grand Theft Auto protagonists, such as Michael, Franklin and Rocktar, is the structure of her partnership with Jason. While the narrative of GTA 5 ran through the lives of three individual characters who’s paths all at times crossed on a regular basis, that of GTA 6 is structured around the lives of two characters and their respective personal crimes. Their crimes are connected and their lives as criminals are interconnected. This setup will allow Rockstar to explore themes of loyalty, dependency and shared ambition in greater depth.

This could make for a much more in-depth look at the themes of loyalty, dependency and shared ambition.

Who Is Lucia Caminos’ Voice Actor?

This character has not yet been confirmed by Rockstar Games for voice and/or motion capture by Lucia Caminos.

There are several other names circulating online but none of them look or sound remotely like the actual performer. None of the online rumors can be confirmed until Rockstar Games, the actual performer or official representative(s) of performer confirm the rumor(s).

This information will be updated by GamingFarms as and when more information becomes available regarding the casting of Lucia Caminos in the game.

Will Lucia Survive GTA 6?

For now we have no information on what happens to Lucia in the game and promotional movies do not reveal the end of her story.

Many fans have come up with ideas of how Rockstar Games could end the game and how some of the main characters could die or get betrayed by others in the game. So far however, there is no official confirmation on whether or not the game will have a single ending or many different endings.

We can most likely assume that this, and the other major story elements in GTA 6, will remain under wraps by Rockstar until the full campaign is released for the public to play through.

Be extremely cautious of any article or video (that gets shared on social media, etc.) claiming to reveal the confirmed ending to Lucia’s story until the game has officially released and that ending has been confirmed by Rockstar in an official announcement.

Final Thoughts

Lucia Caminos is one of the main characters in the story of GTA 6. Before the events of the main storyline of the game, Lucia is already a driven woman. Her time in prison, her family and her desire for a better life for herself all shape her behavior and decisions before the events of the game.

She was reckless once before and lost her freedom but that was a long time ago, now she likes to do things in a different manner, more careful, more strategic, and selective in who she chooses to surround herself with.

Jason and Lucia could form a great duo of crime and help her leave her current life and situation behind to start anew, but it could also have the complete opposite effect as he pulls her and the rest of the crew into the heart of Leonida’s vast and spiraling out of control statewide conspiracy.

Some other things that we don’t know about this character are: what she did to end up in prison; what are the terms of her release; who is going to play her in the video game; what special abilities will she have in the game; and what ultimately happens to her in the game.
