All 22 Characters in Grand Theft Auto: London 1961

Grand Theft Auto: London 1961 places your chosen criminal in a prequel campaign shaped by Harold Cartwright and rival organizations. The cast spans playable identities, gang employers, rivals such as Gene White and intelligence figures tied to Her Majesty Secret Service.

The selectable identities share the London 1961 campaign; choosing a portrait does not change the mission route.

Playable criminals and identity

London 1961 reuses the selectable criminals from London 1969 but places them earlier in their careers. Charles Jones and Rodney Morash are player identities while names such as Johnny Hawthorn and Sid Vacant refer to other selectable criminals rather than aliases or employers. Every choice follows the same objectives and capabilities, so pick by appearance and name rather than expecting a separate route.

Harold Cartwright and the underworld

Harold Cartwright is the central gang employer. His organization conflicts with the Greasers and Rockers and his jobs build much of the criminal structure. The Cartwright Gang Contact relays work through phoneboxes and walkie talkie while figures such as Curly, Ashley, Bongo, Bobby and Jack Parkinson connect to Harold side. Gene White leads the Greasers on the rival side. Mr. Caukenbolls links to the Crisps, another organization that intersects with the protagonist assignments. Affiliation matters more than screen time because many people are introduced through calls or references.

Intelligence and off screen figures

The campaign reaches beyond gang warfare. Grandpa and Endeavour Chambers tie to Her Majesty Secret Service and bring government operations and mistaken identity into play. Hans Nemesis links to a terrorist cell and affects the story as an unseen antagonist. A named figure can matter for an objective even when never shown as a conventional on screen character.

Prequel connections

Several people return or gain context in London 1969. Read their London 1961 role within this earlier campaign: an employer or threat here may have different prominence later. Summaries stay on identity and affiliation without describing mission outcomes or late revelations.
