Our protagonists

During the GTA V campaign you will be able to control three protagonists: Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton e Trevor Philips. Michael is a former bank robber who is now out of the loop, Franklin is a car thief in search of success and Trevor instead is a madman who is dedicated to the production and sale of amphetamines. To be able to change from one character to another, however, you will first have to advance in the history of GTA V, since not all three will be available from the start. In addition you can also select a fourth character, which is our avatar from GTA Online, but we'll talk about that later.
