Hugh Welsh

Hugh Welsh is a character in Grand Theft Auto V. He is a gunman the player can employ to help out with heists.

Description
Hugh is a quiet man of average appearance. His stats are low and his cut is only 7%, making him one of the worst crew members to choose.

Background
Not much is known of Welsh's background. He appears to be an aspiring film writer, as Franklin Clinton mentions he writes screenplays in his spare time. He may have turned to crime as a result of failing in his writing career. He problably also tried to be an actor, as he says at the end of the roof aproach in The Bureau Raid, that he took some impromptu lessons.

He is also the only crew member that shows some compassion with the other members, when Daryl Johns dies in the covert approach of The Bureau Raid, he says that he is the one who should have died in the building.

Events of GTA V
Welsh can be hired for The Bureau Raid, but he will die during the mission if he is chosen along with a good gunman. The only way for Hugh to survive in the covert aproach, is if he is chosen along with Daryl Johns or Norm Richards. In this case, he or the other gunman will die randomly during the escape. So, if Hugh is killed in the explosion, repeat the mission until he is the one who survives. In the roof approach, he survives with no complications.

In The Big Score, subtle approach, if chosen as the first gunman, Hugh will drop some gold bars while loading the Gauntlet, causing a $18 million loss for the crew, even if he has previously experienced the FIB heist, he will still drop gold. If chosen as the second gunman, there will be no consequences for the crew.

In the obvious aproach, Hugh does a decent job being either the first or second gunman, its important to know that if he is the second gunman and doesn't have previously experience, there will be more chances of him dying during the shootout agaist the police. The player needs to protect him, so the heist doesn't have any casualities.
