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)

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)


 * Yes it does, hence why it's called GTA V and not GTA Los Santos or any other name, thats just how Rockstar do it. Tom Talk 00:43, November 18, 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&amp;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

No confirmation states he is the protagonist. He just appears in one shot, just because it's a close up everything thinks he's the protagonist. He looks a bit undetailed to be the main character imo, even if he is seen multiple times. NT92 00:19, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Why would an NPC and not the protagonist be narrating the trailer. That sounds kinda stupid. Albert (Dont know whether it is his name but im gonna use it) is seen lots of times throught out the trailer more than any one else. The other characters I believe are people Albert would like to be. Such as the man turning away the drugs and people who are doing normal good things instead of commiting crimes. After all Albert moved to Los Santos to escape his past life and didnt want to return to a Life of crime. The people could be his inspirations.

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)


 * The player is old tommy vercetti you can just tell


 * This page is only for official information only and not speculation. Dan the Man 1983 22:42, November 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tommy would be 60, think about things logically before making comments. Tom Talk 22:46, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * The GTA III era is lobng since over... its not Tommy. SgtByrd 02:07, December 2, 2011 (UTC) SGT Byrd.


 * I know Tommy is cool and averything, but you gotta give it up by now people, We are not going to see anymore GTA III Era charcters in in the new eras. I hate to break it to you but the only things brigeing the eras are Ads, Cities and Lazlow, so lets get over it, come on admission is the first step to recovery. T-888 00:21, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Just Fan Speculation
This article is just speculation. That just might me another main character and not the protagonist. The guy overlooking the city looks older than the robber and the guy in the blue convertible. They might be two different 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)


 * It's still just specualtion if he's the protagonist. They shouldn't make a page on this until Rockstar announces the protagonist. Zachmt97 02:09, November 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * yead^. But dude up there saying its the lation guy. dont be fkin dumb. Does the man really sound like a young latino thug to you. or vaguely look like somebody with family trying to retire.


 * I'm talking about the middle-aged white guy overlooking the city. People are saying the guy overlooking the city is the same as the robber and guy in blue convertible. The guy overlooking the city looks older than the other two. Zachmt97 21:49, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I personally hope this ned luke aka albert da silva is the protagonist. and only protagonist. His backstory (although very little is known) is already intriguing.

Ned Luke
It has been confirmed by actor Ned Luke that it is his voice heard in the trailer, and that his character is called Albert de Silva. It is however still unknown if he's the protagonist, or simply a support character.


 * Rockstar haven't confirmed anything yet so as far as I'm concerned thats a rumour, IMDB is not a reliable source. Tom Talk 20:23, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * yes^. But out of most of these bullshit rumours this one is actually trully believable. an actor let it slip on twitter, Ned luke looks and sounds like said protagonist of the trailer, and his work is similair to the newer gta actors. tv crime shows like law and order.


 * On a video i saw that the name of the protagonist is Alberto De Silva and is going to be voiced by Ned Luke


 * I'm going to allow this rumor post to stand on the talk page because it's "grounded", unlike the stupid stuff about the protagonists being Tommy or CJ. But we're not adding this stuff to the article either. Jeff (talk|stalk) 06:16, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is fake.... its rumor and not confirmed.... the link you posted shows does not show GTAV on his profile. The IMDB gta v thing was added by some wannabe dude... it has sinced been removed from IMDB. SgtByrd 02:19, December 2, 2011 (UTC)



SgtDerekFrostW 13:23, January 9, 2012 (UTC) look lets just face it cause ime tired of all the speculations, the old guy is the protagonist and tommy vercetti, he is not 60, he is 51 since he is 30 in VC and all gta's take place during the same year as released, if it is released in 2012 then it means that it is aproximantly 21 years prior to the events of VC and also three years after gta iv took place, it is likley that it will come out in earlie 2013 depending on the number of seperate DLC R* will make for max payne 3, if its only one map that they will be working on then gta v will be out earlie in 2013 since DICE had released battlefield 3's the back to karkand DLM's not the same month but the same year as the game itself was released. done end of

Thought most of this is speculation i can at least confirm Tommy and CJ are NOT on the game. So sorry @SgtDerekFrostW he is NOT tommy vercetti. Rockstar confirmed that the GTA III era is complete meaning they wont add new chapters hence GTA V has NOTHING to do with the GTA III era. Plus the gta eras are never interconnected so technically Tommy, CJ and Claude shouldn't even exist in the GTA V era. And last the most imptotant detail people intentionaly overlook is that Rockstar NEVER lets you play as the same protagonist twice... well atleast for GTA games. Hopefully this would teach others that Tommy and CJ are not in the game nomatter how popular they were. KUMAG_RDR 12:33, Febuary 18,2012

Whatever happened to a female Protagonist?
Or was that a rumor? I would've thought it would've been good as you've played as a mute guy, a middle aged drug lord and a Eastern European (ish) mobster, why not a female Protagonist? Or do you think the guy is a teaser?--MrLVD 10:43, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Why would you want to play as a female character? I mean atleast 60% of gta players are male so why? I find it EXTREMELY awkward to play as a female character specially if people are watching because they call me gay for playing as a girl. plus I cant relate to a female character I just cant. Or maybe you guys want a female character the same reason people keep making female characters in saints row because of your hormones? thats the only logical reason I can think of. Well I dont want GTA V to be nurotic atleast in my opinion.

Why is it written like fact?
This article is written like fact. There is no proof that the main character is even a male. I'm just saying there is no proof to this stuff in this article and no where does it state this is all speculation.

It is a talk page its not really an article nothing in this page can be taken as fact.

Tommy Vercetti?
he definitely looks like Tommy. Jason Diaz 18:41, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Dude if it was Tommy then he would be at least 60 years old. That guy is not 60+ and who would want to play as an old fart anyway? ;) Russelnorthrop || talk to me 05:07, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

The GTA III era is over. Winter Moon 20:13, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

This is a different era now. If Tommy Vercetti still exist in this era, then the setting will remain unchanged not a newer version of the setting.  ExtremoMania  Talk to Me  11:52 AM, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

If Tommy lived in Vice City than why would he move to Los Santos because of the weather?
