5 signs Jason's military past will shape GTA 6's biggest twist
Source: Rockstar Games Jason may appear to be your average Vice City bad guy, but Rockstar's own summary suggests something more deliberate. As a confirmed former soldier who "tried to go straight," Jason's professional demeanor and tactical skills imply that his history may inform a greater plot reveal. Is he merely a soldier-turned-thug or someone still serving a greater purpose? These five hints suggest a much larger truth. 1. His serenity is like trained discipline Jason's equanimity in scenes of high tension is more rehearsed than spontaneous. He does not panic or act on impulse. His movements demonstrate years of tactical training, something more typical of trained operatives than street thugs. Even when under tension, he pauses and considers his next move, indicating a soldier's instincts that never actually departed from him. Is Jason A Cop In GTA 6? 2. Rockstar officially confirms his Army background In Rockstar's official character bio for Jason, they explain that he "did a stint in the Army trying to go straight." It's an overt reference to his time in the military and suggests that his history is not mere background, it matters. Rockstar doesn't put things in characters' backgrounds for no reason, particularly in character-centric games like GTA 6. 3. Military tattoos and combat stance Audiences picked up on what appears to be a "Marauder" tattoo on Jason, perhaps referencing an elite group. His two-eye aiming, close-range control, and deliberate movement indicate training to an advanced level, presumably outside of a general infantry role. These visual cues informatively support that Jason might have been part of an upper-level combat unit. 4. He's more controlled than Lucia Lucia is rough and impulsive, whereas Jason is conservative and cunning. This difference could be a sign of a moral fault line, or a secret agenda. If he's still playing by the rules, to whom is he ultimately loyal? His self-control, in contrast to Lucia's moodiness, is suspect in terms of whose side he's on. 5. Potential government affiliation or undercover background Others posit Jason's Army experience might have concluded with ties to federal organizations or law enforcement. If he was ever involved in clandestine operations, GTA 6 might be establishing a huge betrayal or secret alliance later in the game, a one that also completely alters Lucia's course of action. Jason's military past isn't just a piece of his backstory; it could be central to the plot. Whether he's hiding deeper loyalties or trying to outrun them, his behavior, demeanor, and confirmed background suggest there's more to him than meets the eye. If Rockstar leans into this angle, Jason could drive one of GTA 6's most surprising and impactful character arcs yet. Also Read: What if GTA 6 never ends?

Nita Ambani once revealed Mukesh Ambani's favourite Gujarati dish is..., it costs Rs...
Ambani weddings are the most talked-about events in the news headlines. From grand decoration, mouth-watering food from every corner of India, designer outfits, star-studded guest lists, and perfectly themed, colour-coordinated attire, everything screams perfection. Banarasi street food like chaat, mithai, lassi, chai, khari, paan, and mukhwas were on the menu of Anant-Radhika wedding. From chaat to chai, Ode to Banaras features the culinary delights from one of the world's oldest living cities. Apart from these, sweets, paan and mukhwas, kharik from Ahmedabad, chaat counters, malai toast and chai, lassi and lemon tea, the food counters set up for guests promise to bring the Banaras' rich and varied food culture to Mumbai. But do you know Mukesh Ambani's favourite snack? Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani, a couple who have been married for around 35 years, follow a strict vegetarian diet and generally eat meals that are home-cooked. According to the media report, Mukesh Ambani has been enjoying Gujarati-style dal every evening at dinner, emphasizing the wholesome and culturally anchored food choices made by the couple. Mukesh Ambani, one of Asia's richest people, is a well-known regular at Swati Snacks, one of the most famous places for authentic Gujarati cuisine in Mumbai. From satpadi roti to gatta nu shaak to fada ni khichdi, Swati Snacks' offerings are many and varied. One of its highlights is its panki – a dish made with rice flour, steamed in a plantain leaf, and Mukesh Ambani's favourite dish. This unique kind of food has become iconic in recent years. This Gujarati snack is light, healthy, and so comforting! Panki is made from urad dal flour, curd, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and rice flour. The most unique part about panki is how it's cooked—between banana leaves—creating a subtle, earthy flavor. Panki can often be had with chutneys, or pickles and it's a household breakfast staple in diverse households in Gujarat. The best part? It's easy and quick to make. Founded in 1963 by Minakshi Jhaveri, Swati Snacks began as a small chaat shop with just four tables and a menu offering four items, each priced at four annas. Over the years, the business has grown into a thriving restaurant chain, now generating a monthly turnover of nearly INR 4 crore.
