Maude Eccles is a character appearing as a Stranger/Freak in Grand Theft Auto V and a main character in Grand Theft Auto Online.
She is portrayed by Jodie Lynne McClintock.
History[]
Background[]
In her youth, Maude wanted to be a cheerleader, and she nearly made it to the top, but then, in her own words, she discovered a "burnin' passion for justice".
As of 2013, she lives in a trailer at the end of an unnamed dirt road off of East Joshua Road in Grapeseed, Blaine County.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Maude gives out four bounties for Trevor Philips to track down and bring back to her. The bounties are for Ralph Ostrowski, Larry Tupper, Glenn Scoville and Curtis Weaver. Trevor can choose to kill the targets or capture them alive, to which Maude will pay Trevor $5,000 for killing one and $10,000 for capturing one alive.
After completing all the bounties, she tells Trevor about her dream of having a garden with a white picket fence, a husband, and a dog named Skip and adds that she is retiring, after which she will no longer contact him.
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]
After Hours[]
By 2018, Maude has come out of retirement and put her dream aside to reignite her burning passion for justice. [1] She appears by text message and email in GTA Online as part of a continuation of the After Hours update and will give the player bounty hunting missions, unlocking exclusive content for Red Dead Redemption 2 as part of a Rockstar Games Social Club promotion.
Bottom Dollar Bounties[]
By 2024, Maude is living with her daughter Jenette Eccles and in a relationship with Murph, a mortician at the Los Santos County Coroner Office.
In the summer of 2024, Maude established the Bottom Dollar Bail Enforcement agency office in Southern San Andreas. After the GTA Online Protagonist begins running the agency, Maude's daughter Jenette Eccles, an aspiring bounty hunter, acts as their assistant in the bounty hunting business.

Trivia[]
- Maude wears the same calculator watch as Trevor.
- Maude's company is listed on Trevor's bank statements as Canine Renditions, a reference to Dog the Bounty Hunter.
- Melvin mentions that he once tried to ask out Maude but was rejected.
- If the player spares Larry Tupper during his Bail Bond mission, he'll briefly mention on the way to her house that Maude smells like "spoiled chicken feed".
- If Trevor stays with Maude after delivering the final criminal in person, she will eventually tell Trevor not to worry because she will see him again, in a rather serious tone, implying that Trevor's criminal activity could likely put him on Maude's reprobate list.
- Upon close inspection of the criminal profile image sent in Maude's texts, the "reward for capture" is $15,000, but Trevor is only paid a maximum of $10,000. The remaining $5,000 is most likely Maude's cut of the reward.
