Raul Bautista
Press pack · snt-00057 · usable frame

Four official screenshots, and the only character in the press pack who is photographed with a wall of monitors behind him, bundles of cash on a car seat, and a yacht at sunset.

The first shot has him on the phone in a blue-lit room with screens behind him, out of focus. The second puts him behind the wheel with banded bundles of cash on the seat beside him and a pistol within reach. The third has him on the deck of a yacht at sunset with the skyline behind him, in an open white shirt. The fourth walks him through a neon-lit venue in a light suit.

Every one of the four is about money at a remove: the screens, the bundles, the boat, the suit. He is never photographed doing anything with his hands except holding a phone or a steering wheel, which sets him apart from almost everyone else in the press pack.

He has the look the series usually gives to the person one level above the protagonist – older, better dressed, calmer. Whether that is what he is, the material does not say.

How to recognise it

  • Named by Rockstar's own press pack: People/Raul Bautista
  • Tinted glasses and swept-back grey hair in every shot
  • Bundles of banded cash on the passenger seat
  • Photographed on a yacht at sunset with the skyline behind
  • A phone in hand in two of the four

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 3840 by 2160 of it.

What we still do not know

  • What the wall of monitors in the first shot is
  • Whether he employs the protagonists, opposes them, or neither
  • Whether the yacht is his and whether it is a place you can go
  • His voice actor, and whether the name is spoken in the game
