Other in-game characters include:

Gonzales

A "cultural attache" (read: generic fixer, likely bribable) at the San Dominican consulate, associate of Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez. We're not sure where San Dominica is, but it's probably somewhere near Wakanda or Latveria.

Steve Scott

Mob-linked film director. He's apparently patterned after Steve Spielberg -- Rockstar says he has a fondness for sharks and mashed-potato sculpture. Uh-huh.

Pastor Richards

Half-mad Bible-thumping televangelist, promoter of intense nuclear/apocalyptic paranoia, involved in many right-wing political causes. Composed of equal parts Jim Bakker, Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, and various other TV preachers we can't remember.

Ice Cream Lady

Described as a "psychotic distributor of soft ice cream." We're down with any game that features psychotic distributors of soft ice cream.

Georgio Forelli

Transvestite mafioso associate of the Liberty City families, about to go down in court for a long prison stretch. As such, he is most likely not long for this world.

Mr. Black

May or may not be running money-laundering and assassination business as a sideline to his day job as commandant of Kamp Krusty.

Leo Teal

Restaurateur and suspected hitman, associated with Mr. Black.

Big Mitch Baker

Biker gang leader and decorated Vietnam veteran. Affiliated with various small-time drug and arms dealing. Apparently enjoys eating live animals. We think he looks a little like a heavyset Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

Cam Jones

Unfortunate kleptomaniac associated with Cassidy, due for a long prison term thanks to his uncontrollable theft habit (he was caught running down the street with a largish safe in his arms).
