5 reasons Brian is GTA 6's secret villain

Don't let the Hawaiian shirts and marina fool you; Brian isn't just some friendly side character. GTA 6's second trailer may have focused on Jason and Lucia, but the real puppet master might just be hiding in plain sight.
From subtle power plays to full-blown criminal operations, Brian checks every box for a secret villain. Here's why.
1. He Runs a Criminal Empire
Brian owns '
Brian's Boat Works & Marina
', but let's be honest, that place is shady. In the trailer, we see crates being loaded onto planes, hinting at drug and weapon smuggling. There are also scenes where Jason collects money from local shops, which screams 'protection racket.' This isn't just a side hustle.
Brian is running Leonida's underworld from the shadows, using his marina as the perfect front.
2. His Wife is Involved
In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, a woman (likely Brian's wife, Lori Heder) appears in a helicopter, watching a police raid unfold. Why would a marina owner's wife be surveilling a law enforcement operation? Because she's in on it. Lori might be the real brains behind the curtain, making Brian and her a full-blown power couple.

3. He Manipulates Jason
Brian doesn't pull the trigger; he finds people who will. In trailer clips, he sends Jason to threaten business owners with a smile and a pat on the back. Jason, an ex-military man, seems tough, loyal, and... easily used. Brian clearly plays the 'cool mentor' role while treating Jason like a disposable pawn. It's classic manipulation wrapped in charm.
4. He's Connected to Lucia's Prison Release
Lucia is out of prison, but with an ankle monitor. So, who got her out? It wasn't luck.
Brian, with his criminal network and likely connections within law enforcement, may have pulled strings to secure her release. But not out of kindness. If Lucia owes him, Jason stays loyal. It's a chess move, not charity.
5. He's the Only One Who Benefits
Every criminal act we see in the trailer, like heists, smuggling, and bribes, somehow loops back to Brian. Jason takes the risk. Lucia stays monitored. The cops raid everyone
but
Brian. And Brian? He keeps expanding his empire with zero heat.
That's not coincidence. That's power.
GTA 6 might sellthe story of Jason and Lucia, but behind every robbery, raid, and escape is Brian. He's not just involved—he's in control. And when it's all said and done, don't be surprised if he's the final boss betraying the duo he built up.

4 ways Rockstar might connect GTA 6 to Trevor's past
(Image via Rockstar Games) Rockstar Games has a habit of weaving deep, interconnected narratives across its Grand Theft Auto titles, and Trevor Philips is arguably one of the most unforgettable characters in the franchise. While GTA 6 is set in Vice City with new protagonists Jason and Lucia, fans are wondering: could Trevor's chaotic legacy somehow influence the next installment? Here are four plausible ways Rockstar might tie GTA 6 to Trevor's past without dragging him back to center stage. 1. A Former Acquaintance Becomes a Key Character Trevor left a trail of destruction and bizarre relationships across Blaine County. One way GTA 6 could nod to his past is by introducing a side character or antagonist who once knew him, possibly a former business partner, rival, or someone who barely survived one of his rampages. Imagine if Lucia is unknowingly working with a person who once had a meth operation with Trevor and carries the same unhinged energy. That kind of twisted connection would instantly deepen the narrative and let fans explore the ripple effects of Trevor's madness. TREVOR IN GTA 6!? - Steven Ogg Wants to Return 2. Trevor's Criminal Empire Left a Mark on the Drug Trade In GTA 5, Trevor was knee-deep in meth production and gunrunning. If GTA 6 expands on the drug trade in Vice City, Rockstar might reference how the industry evolved after Trevor's reign in Blaine County. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like München: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo A cartel or rival gang in Vice City could mention 'some crazy guy out west' whose operation changed how everyone does business. This wouldn't require Trevor to appear, but it would reinforce his impact on the GTA underworld and show how his reckless tactics influenced future criminals. 3. Hidden Trevor Easter Eggs Around Vice City Trevor might not be walking the streets of Vice City, but Rockstar loves leaving breadcrumbs for dedicated fans. A mural, graffiti tag, or a derelict trailer with 'TP Industries' spray-painted on it could suggest that Trevor once passed through or did business there. Alternatively, a character might wear a shirt with his face or reference a 'crazy Canadian dude from out west.' These nods create a subtle but satisfying continuity that long-time fans will obsess over. RIP Trevor in GTA VI? 4. Lucia or Jason Has a Personal Connection What if Lucia or Jason has a personal reason to seek out Trevor? Maybe Trevor hurt someone in their family years ago. Maybe Jason's criminal mentor once partnered with him. These kinds of indirect ties could bring up Trevor's name in a meaningful way and allow the game to explore his past through fresh eyes, without needing him to appear at all. It's a great way to honor a legacy character while keeping the spotlight on GTA 6's new leads. Rockstar doesn't usually repeat itself, but when it revisits characters, it does so with care. Whether Trevor returns in person or only in myth, don't be surprised if his chaotic past casts a long shadow over Vice City.
