IMPORTANT - Images

In this article, and all other articles relating to Grand Theft Auto V, the official GTA Wiki: Image Policy is going to be enforced ruthlessly. All images must be uploaded to the precise and specific letter of the image policy or they will be deleted. If the image is uploaded to the wrong name, deleted. If the image is uploaded with an improper usage rationale, or with no rationale at all, deleted. If the image is uploaded without an accompanying statement as to where the uploading user obtained the image, deleted. Jeff (talk|stalk) 18:40, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Can we have a vote on this because I don't agree, I think deleting them is a bit of an extreme first step. Also I re-uploaded the images I added, which you deleted, saying that I made the images myself but once I uploaded them nothing appeared, I'm not really sure what went wrong. Tom ^Talk 18:43, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

I think the whole policy itself needs a major discussion, as some of us agree with it and some of us don't.

We finally got rid of the "Competence is Required" ruling, so people do not feel they're editing on thin ice with their edits. Now I think it might be time to revamp the whole Image Policy. Dan the Man 1983 19:10, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Speculation

I think it could very well be Claude from GTA III. In San Andreas he was probably in his twenties, in GTA III in his thirties, and now in his forties which seems to fit. Tommy Vercetti would be too old now I think. Sonny Black ^(Talk) 17:14, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Tommy would be 60, since its obviously a modern setting, so thats a definite no. It's possible it could be Claude but I don't think it is, they tend to start the GTA Universe all over, except City names and cars etc., when they start a new era so I thinks it's unlikely. Tom ^Talk 17:17, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

You make a good point. But If I remember correctly, in GTA IV there were some references to characters from the GTA III era. Also, earlier this year there was a casting list released which included characters from San Andreas. Sonny Black ^(Talk) 17:25, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

In GTA IV there was writing on a few walls, nothing else. Could you give me a link to the casting list. I'd like a few GTA III Era characters to return but I really doubt that will happen since this is a new era. Tom ^Talk 17:30, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Apparantly, a character which presented the radio program 'The Wild Traveler' in San Andreas is reintroduced in GTA V.

Sonny Black ^(Talk) 18:15, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

It's this character: James Pedeaston. --Sonny Black ^(Talk) 18:21, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

No, gusseing the circumstances im gonna assume Jame Pedaston would be an antagonist at best, the protagonist mentioned he had kids so i gusse he would be cautious around Pedaston for obvious reasons Casecr 00:28, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Michael Klebitz

The man in the screen capture looks a slight bit like Johnny from the Lost and Damned. I think it could be his older brother Michael, an army captain who at the time of TLAD is 39. The mystery man looks like hes in his early forties, and in the trailer, he never claims he was a criminal, so perhaps he's putting an end to his military career and settling down in Los Santos. Any thoughts or arguements?

No, its a new GTA Era so there won't be any characters from previous games, its not him and it looks nothing like Johnny. Tom ^Talk 21:42, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

That's a good point, I didn't know Rockstar announced that all GTA 4 references will be wiped. It certainly eliminates any ideas for who the man could be. I would still argue that the man has resembles Johnny, but of course that makes no point now.

There will still be a few references but probably just a few names on walls like GTA IV had, and I don't see any resemblance to Johnny. Tom ^Talk 10:24, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

How do we know that he is the protagonist?

The teaser trailer never implied he was? We don't even know if the trailer is actual gameplay. Sliderkk 20:19, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Salvatore Leone was the narrator in one of GTA III's trailer, here's the YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCkreaJIpxw, so maybe it's their bog standard way of doing it.White&Gold 19:44, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

A Caucasian narrorator with a unnamed man that is also Caucasian whom appears multiple times in the trailer? Just please use logic. Slowrider7 11:31, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

oh yeah rockstar just got a random NPC to narrate the trailer for what very well could be the biggest game in histroy

There is no such thing as logic when it comes to a Wiki. It is either fact or speculation. This page should be labelled speculation because at the moment, no one but Rockstar knows who the protagonist is. Saying that you know for sure just using logic is not how Wiki works. You need fact. Don't get me wrong, I think he could be the protagonist but it's just speculation on my part and everyone else.

--Raadec 11:51, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

He could very well be a major charactor in the story and not the protagonist. Until rock star actually confirms who the protagonist is, this page should be labeled as speculation (if that is possible). Cbriggs108 14:50, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

No i agree with slowrider. theres speculation and theres just out right ridiculous bullshit. If your another person saying its tommy claude or cj you clearly dont know rockstar that well. Yes we dont know for sure who the protgonist is but i stronglly believe its the caucasian guy shown through out the trailer. (gameplay.) Shantytownkid

Multiple Protagonist Rumor....

So I Was Watching The Trailer For About The 157th Time When I Decided To Look For Clues, And I Found That There Is A Second Recurring Character.

Note That The Second Picture Is From The Car Chase Late In The Trailer, And It Looked As If It Was Player Controlled, So This Multiple Protagonist Rumor Might Be Real After All...Or Not, But Whatever. I'll Let You Guys Know If I Find Any Other Interesting Things :D Dark|Shadow|Sword 21:19, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Firstly you don't need to start every word with a capital letter. Secondly right now this is just a rumor and the trailer only had dialogue from one person, the known protagonist, it explained his background so its likely he's the only protagonist, this guy might be a character in the game but I'm not sure that the fact he appears twice means anything. Tom ^Talk 23:01, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

well there is another pic that i think may also be him, but its blurry.

but i'm not sure if it is him or not, i just thought i'd point out that he appears a few times, so who knows :D Dark|Shadow|Sword 23:54, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the speculation that there is more then one protagonist in this game. Which is why I have added the information back in. We'll know for sure when other trailers and information on the game is released. Dan the Man 1983 18:57, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

This is still just speculation and we decided not to allow any speculation to be added to articles, thats why I removed it. Tom ^Talk 19:15, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

I never intended to add this to the article without permission, i just wanted to share this with you guys. Dark|Shadow|Sword 02:51, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

I was saying that to Dan. Tom ^Talk 09:25, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Speculation

I know that speculation has no place on a wiki, but this man could o could not be the protaginist. It shows that latino guy a few times as well. But He is the one that is speaking or is he? We will have to wait and see. T-888 17:05, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Tommy would be 60, think about things logically before making comments. Tom ^Talk 22:46, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Just Fan Speculation

This article is just speculation. That just might me another main character and not the protogonist. The guy overlooking the city looks older than the robber and the guy in the convertible. They might be two diiferent people. They shouldn't make a page on this until we know for sure. Zachmt97 02:33, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

They look identical, it's obvious that he was the man talking, which strongly suggests that he is the protagonist. Tom ^Talk 16:38, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Could it be Ned Luke?

I've been hearing rumours that the big macho I-mean-business guy in the trailer i

The man in the trailer

s the little known actor Ned Luke. They look and sound similar. http://www.psu.com/Is-actor-Ned-Luke-GTA-Vs-mystery-protagonist--a013577-p0.php Mok2k11 20:17, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

They look similar, don't they?

• To me he sounds like one of 2 people, Ray liota, not saying it is Tommy, or TJ Rotolo, the guy that plays Frank West in the DEAD RISING games. That is just what I have gathered from listening to the man on the trailer. T-888 21:35, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
