Don't mess sunshine. Or I'll kick yer bloody head in. Understood ponce?
— Rodney Morash

Rodney Morash is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as one of the selectable protagonists in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and Grand Theft Auto: London 1961.

History[]

Background[]

For an overview on the GTA London Protagonist's entire history and plot details, see here.

As the game follows one storyline, if Rodney 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[]

Morash appears as a stylish hooligan in his twenties, and is aesthetically a parody of the 'Mod' subculture. He has "mop" hair, a tailor-made suit, and an affinity for wizz (drugs) and Mod Scooters, which occasionally spawn along with the character to reinforce the stereotype. Morash's appearance is highly reminiscent of young Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend.

The only difference between Rodney 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, Rodney Morash's 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.

Trivia[]

  • Rodney Morash along with the other GTA London Protagonists and Franklin Clinton are currently the only protagonists in the series who appear as playable characters during the storyline of two different Grand Theft Auto titles.
  • According to a January 2001 exclusive Grand Theft Auto III world premiere found in PlayStation 2 Official Magazine (UK) Issue 3, Dan Houser had plans to bring back some of the characters from GTA London to the 3D Universe. However, it is unknown if he was referring to the GTA London Protagonists.
  • Morash is perhaps the best known and most recognizable character from the GTA London games. Some releases of the game had a simple Union Jack as the cover box art, whilst others had an artwork of Morash. He is also the default protagonist in the selection menu.
    • Morash appears on some of the artwork for the game, holding a pistol and saying "Don't mess sunshine. Or I'll kick yer bloody head in. Understood ponce?".
      • The aforementioned artwork has also been adopted for use as a Rockstar Games Social Club user avatar, the only one to represent the "Grand Theft Auto: London" category.
  • It is implied Morash is a member of the Battersea Mods, although paradoxically one chapter of the missions has the player going to war with the gang and wiping the Mods out for the Crisp Twins. This is never made clear, however.
  • His name sounds similar or might refer to the English footballer Rodney Marsh.
  • He bears slight resemblance to legendary martial artist and actor Bruce Lee.
  • The artwork of Rodney Morash holding a Machine Gun appears to be based on the poster of Michael Caine posing with a shotgun in the film Get Carter.
