All 35 Characters in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969

Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 follows a selectable criminal rising through London underworld as established bosses, ambitious rivals, hired muscle and government figures pull the campaign in different directions. Much of the cast arrives through phonebox jobs and brief scenes, so knowing each allegiance makes the chain easier to follow.

The selectable identities share the London 1969 campaign; choosing a portrait does not change the mission route.

Choosing the protagonist

London 1969 offers several named protagonist identities at the start. As in the original Grand Theft Auto, choice changes visible name and appearance rather than abilities, handling, mission access or outcomes. Each option takes the same route through the London campaign. Personality comes from jobs accepted and chaos left behind while employers and contacts carry most characterization. This is why a boss who appears briefly can matter more than the person on the street for the whole game.

Main criminal powers

Harold Cartwright is a leading London criminal and important employer during early campaign stages. His operation includes relatives, associates and helpers such as Beryl Cartwright, Pretty Charlie, Keith, Chalkie and Cyprus Phil. Their jobs establish local rivalries before a larger power struggle takes over.

Albert and Archie Crisp operate as a pair with different roles. Albert is the increasingly paranoid planner while Archie is the muscle. Their influence reaches employers and intermediaries across London including a contact who delivers instructions through phoneboxes and walkie talkie.

Jack Parkinson is an ambitious crime lord who pays protection to the Crisps while planning his own rise. People tied to him including Fingers and Arthur help connect his operation to individual jobs. The result is not loyal teams: many work under pressure, pursue own interests or become useful to one boss until the next order arrives.

Contacts, targets and outside forces

Not everyone runs a gang. Some are relatives, drivers, hired help, informants or targets for a single objective. Others widen conflict beyond gang rivalry. Endeavour Chambers connects to Her Majesty Secret Service while Hans Nemesis leads a terrorist group. Their presence lets the campaign move from protection rackets and gang warfare to espionage flavoured assignments without changing its blunt London crime tone. An overview that shows another person or organization should be read as affiliation not alias.

Following the story without losing the job

Phonebox and walkie talkie instructions can introduce employer, helper, vehicle and target quickly. Keep the current boss in mind before the chase begins. Harold Cartwright, Jack Parkinson and the Crisp twins sit at center of different chains while minor figures usually support or complicate one thread. Loyalties become less stable as campaign progresses. If you want to preserve turns, check unfamiliar names after finishing the current chapter rather than before accepting the job.
