He is portrayed by Gabriel Sloyer.
History[]
Background[]
Oscar was born in Mexico. At some point, he began running guns for cartels, possibly in or around Veracruz, and eventually doing so on and off in the United States around 2008, as he was facing too much competition in Mexico. In the US, Oscar remained independent and avoided making enemies with the most powerful Mexican gangs by making peace with the Vagos and paying off Madrazo Cartel. Despite this, he competed with the Varrios Los Aztecas and the Marabunta Grande.
He eventually became friends with Trevor Philips and bought guns off of him a few times. Upon gaining control of Trevor during the mission Mr. Philips and looking at his latest transactions on his bank account, it shows that he paid large sums of money to Oscar.
Little to no information is given about Oscar's family, apart from an unidentified cousin who lost his legs to a cougar on Mount Gordo. By 2025, Oscar has married twice. He is currently married to a Mrs. Guzman with children.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
In 2013, Oscar mostly stays in the US. He continues to work with Trevor, who at one point delivers arms stolen from The Lost MC to him on his boat in the Pacific Ocean. Afterwards, if Trevor buys the McKenzie Field Hangar, Oscar sets up deals and Trevor delivers weapons by air with a Cuban 800 and by ground with a Dune Buggy.
Some time after, Trevor decides to hijack a Merryweather Security Cargo Plane in order to sell the weapons onboard. As he tails it in a Duster, he asks his friend Ron Jakowski to contact Oscar and set up a deal to buy the weapons. Ron does so and Oscar arrives as Trevor manages to hijack the plane. As he attempts to fly it back to McKenzie Field, two P-996 LAZER are sent by the Air Force to order the cargo plane to land at Fort Zancudo. Trevor ignores the pilots and is shot at, forcing him to bail and the cargo plane to crash into the Alamo Sea. As such, Oscar did not get the guns he was going to buy.
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]
In early 2025, the McKenzie Field Hangar is put on sale by Maze Bank Foreclosures. After the GTA Online Protagonist acquires the property, Oscar Guzman provides a tour of the updated hangar to the new owner. On the duo's first attempt to sell arms together, the buyers and the product are both destroyed in a bombing run by a Titan 250 D gunship, much to Guzman's surprise. He does some research and discovers it to belong to Eberhard Munitions, an armaments company with an extensive presence in San Andreas that is seeking to control all arms sales in the area. With the GTA Online Protagonist as his new wingman, he devises a plan to steal the gunship and weaken Eberhard's presence in the state.
Doing some research, Oscar discovers the location of an airstrip owned by Eberhard Munitions on the cliffs of Tongva Hills, where two Eberhard-owned Moguls are being stored. At least one of the Moguls is stolen by the GTA Online Protagonist to be later used to reach the Titan 250 D gunship up close without being detected as an enemy aircraft.
With the help of his old contacts within the Madrazo Cartel, a drone station is arranged by Oscar for the GTA Online Protagonist to be used to deploy a drone into an Eberhard warehouse and hack into their servers to obtain intel on the Titan 250 D's next route. Through the information they obtained from the servers, Oscar discovers the location of a shipment carrying a signal jammer made specifically for the Titan 250 D.
He has the idea of installing said jammer into the stolen Mogul to be used to intercept the Titan's flight systems while flying next to it. The jammer is successfully stolen from a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea near El Gordo Lighthouse.
Oscar has the idea of acquiring a heavy lift chopper to be used to steal the Titan's ammunition from a cargo ship in Los Santos. Eberhard owns a fleet of DH-7 Iron Mules that can be used for this kind of job. He provides the GTA Online Protagonist with signal jammers and suggests them to plant them in strategic locations around the Redwoods Light Track, currently used as a weapon training site by Eberhard Munitions.
They intentionally force Eberhard to send air support after them in order to intercept their heavy lift choppers using the jammers and steal at least one for the job.
After all of the preparations are completed, Oscar takes the GTA Online Protagonist to the Port of Los Santos in his Velum 5-Seater plane, where he placed the heavy lift chopper(s) for them to use to steal an ammunition container from the Eberhard cargo ship off the coast. The Titan ammunition is successfully stolen and delivered to Oscar's contacts to be stored.
During the final job, Oscar Guzman flies again alongside the GTA Online Protagonist in the previously stolen Mogul. As the aircraft is owned by Eberhard Munitions, the duo is not recognized as an enemy aircraft on Eberhard's radar, allowing them to approach the Titan 250 D and use the signal jammer to mess up its flight systems.
After damaging the Titan 250 D enough, Eberhard is forced to make an emergency landing in the Grand Senora Desert, allowing the GTA Online Protagonist to fix the vehicle's engine and Oscar to bring the stolen ammunition to be loaded into the Titan 250 D.
The ammunition is then used to destroy several Eberhard assets, including two Mobile Operations Centers, an Eberhard-owned Kosatka submarine and a Freight Train carrying Eberhard's latest shipments.
After successfully getting revenge on Eberhard for messing up his arms deal and dealing huge property damage to the company, Oscar sells the Titan 250 D for a high price to different buyers, with the GTA Online Protagonist receiving a cut from the deal.

Trivia[]
- Based on his voicemail, he is a cocaine user.
- Despite obtaining his personal phone number, Oscar cannot be contacted by Trevor during normal gameplay. However, there was supposed to be a phone call from him after Predator in which he expresses concern about Martin Madrazo discovering the work he and Trevor do together using the McKenzie Field. It may have been cut because said work is optional.[6]
- In the original versions of Grand Theft Auto V, Oscar's cutscene model has a unique haircut model. The model is still present in the later releases, although left unused in-game. It is later restored and retextured for his older appearance in Grand Theft Auto Online.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, Oscar doesn't have a pedestrian model to be used outside cutscenes. In his only appearance outside cutscenes during Nervous Ron, he appears as a generic Hispanic pedestrian, alongside two Vagos members.
