Wolfie Vilans 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 Vilans 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[]
Vilans' appearance is a pastiche of the 'spiv' archetype in British culture, as evidenced by his kipper tie, pencil moustache and use of a cigarette holder. His appearance is a composite of various characters of the 'spiv' and/or 'wide boy' archetype, including Slasher Green, Prince Of The Wide Boys, Luigi Vercotti and Terrance Aubrey "Boycie" Boyce (as well as various characters portrayed by Terry-Thomas).
The only difference between Vilans 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, Wolfie Vilans' 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[]
- Wolfie Vilans 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.
