Madrazo's Driver is a minor character appearing in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Money Fronts update.
History[]
Background[]
He is a former taxi driver who, at some point circa 2025, began working as a driver for the Madrazo Cartel.
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Money Fronts[]
In 2025, the driver is first seen as Martin Madrazo's personal driver, taking both him and the GTA Online Protagonist to a private meeting with Mr. Faber in the Los Santos International Airport. After the meeting, he drops the GTA Online Protagonist and Raf De Angelis at the Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry, which is soon purchased by the GTA Online Protagonist and converted into a money laundering business by Raf.
Some time after setting up the money laundering operation, the GTA Online Protagonist performs several jobs for Mr. Faber's clients. During one of the jobs, they assist Madrazo's driver into delivering a truck full of illegal money hidden inside pieces of art to the Car Scrapyard in El Burro Heights, to be later shipped to an unspecified politician overseas as bribery.
During the job, the driver is visibly paranoid about the deliver. He also recognizes the GTA Online Protagonist from the previous meeting at the airport and briefly comments about his background as a cabbie and telling his mother about joining Martin Madrazo's crew.
Shortly after leaving La Fuente Blanca, the cargo is attacked by the Armenian Mob. Ultimately, the cargo survives the attack thanks to the driver's maneuvers and the GTA Online Protagonist's protection. The driver is last seen giving them the payment for the job.
Oversights[]
During the Hands On Car Wash introduction cutscene, the driver is still using a generic Madrazo Cartel pedestrian model, instead of the unique character model introduced in the Money Fronts update. This is likely a case of forgotten placeholder model.
He is identified as the same character from Mutual Funds through his voice in the airport cutscene and dialogue in his last appearance referring to their first meeting at the airport ("Hey, good to see you again").
