Brian Heder

Brian Heder is a veteran drug runner in the Leonida Keys, with a working boat yard, property of his own and people who work for him. He belongs to an older generation of smugglers, but his business is still active. His importance to Jason is immediate and practical: Brian gives him a place to stay and expects help with local shakedowns in return.

Brian still moves product through his boat yard. Lori works with him, and his experience lets him pass the more unpleasant jobs to others. He is an active operator who delegates, not a retired smuggler whose criminal career is behind him.

Rockstar has not said what he moves, who supplies him, what the boat yard is called or which routes it uses.

The agreement with Jason

Jason’s accommodation comes with conditions. Brian lets him live at one of his properties without rent so long as he helps with local shakedowns and visits for Lori’s sangria from time to time. Rockstar has not said whether the house is part of the boat yard, or whether players can buy any of Brian’s businesses.

Lori and the household

Lori is Brian’s third wife and works with him in the boat-yard trade. Her sangria adds a domestic and social side to their business partnership. Rockstar has not said anything about Brian’s previous wives or earlier marriages, and has not given Lori a surname.

Rockstar’s screenshots show Brian handling packages beside a small aircraft, meeting Jason by a car, and posing at a railing in a sleeveless top and a bandana. Another shows him beside a woman who is passing a pistol to Jason. The woman is not named, and the contents of the packages are not shown.

Rockstar has not yet named a mission involving Brian, said whether any of his businesses can be bought, or revealed any rewards or how his story ends.

Biography. Brian is a veteran of the Keys’ smuggling trade. He continues moving product through his boat yard with Lori, his third wife, while delegating work. Jason stays at one of his properties in return for helping with shakedowns.
