Brian Heder

Brian Heder is an old-school smuggler who has been running drugs through the Leonida Keys since long before Jason Duval arrived. Rockstar introduced him as someone who now prefers to let younger people do the dangerous work while he enjoys a quieter life with his third wife, Lori, at his boat yard.

Jason lives in one of Brian's properties and works off the rent by doing jobs for him. That arrangement gives Brian a hold over Jason, and it is one of the threads that pulls Jason back into crime at the start of the story.

Brian is tied to the Keys region on our map. After launch on November 19, 2026, we will add his boat yard and other key places as markers, plus the missions he gives, all confirmed in our own playthrough before publishing.
