Major Hale is a cut character in Grand Theft Auto III.

History[]

Background[]

Major Hale is described as a senior military officer found in the Military Base in Shoreside Vale. He was intended to provide Claude with military grade weapons after progressing through the game's storyline.

A rare official artwork sketch of the character (without colors)[note 1] and was scanned, vectorized and recolored by the GTA Series Videos crew.

Further information on Major Hale was first revealed through official developer notes shared with the 2021 release by GTA Series Videos of the information contained in GTA III: The Game Design Document[1][2], a DMA Design/Rockstar North document lastly updated on December 29th, 2000, used in the creation process of the game.

Considering the character's military background and his intended role as a heavy weapons merchant, Major Hale may have been redesigned as Phil Cassidy, owner of Phil's Army Surplus. Hale's original contact points were also scrapped from Shoreside Vale during development, although the original Military Base assets may have been reused for Phil's Army Surplus.
