Background[]
For an overview on the GTA London Protagonist's entire history and plot details, see here.
As the game follows one storyline, if Charles is chosen as the protagonist, he will follow the same story as the other selectable protagonists, including committing the same crimes and murders, and having the same relationships with the Crisp Twins, Jack Parkinson, Harold Cartwright and Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Character[]
Appearance[]
Jones' long-haired and thick-bearded appearance appears to be inspired by the hippie sub-culture. His appearance is influenced by various cult leaders. His visual mien is based on Shoko Asahara, the leader of the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo; his forename may be inspired by Charles Manson, the leader of the Manson Family cult, while his surname is likely a reference to Jim Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple cult.
The only difference between Charles and the other protagonists is the in-game appearance (clothes, hair and skin). Like the other protagonists, he wears bell-bottom pants during his GTA London 1969 appearance.
Also like the other protagonists, Charles Jones' default name can be changed by the player on the character selection menu. This feature is also used to activate cheat codes in the game.
