Raul Bautista
Experience counts.
A seasoned bank robber, Raul recruits partners ready to take the risks that pay the most. His recklessness raises the stakes with every job; his crew will have to keep up or get out.
Overview
Raul Bautista is an experienced bank robber who relies on confidence, charm and cunning. Rockstar describes him as always on the lookout for talent ready to take the risks that pay off the most, and warns that his recklessness raises the stakes with every score: his crew will have to keep up or bow out. Experience counts, says his official introduction. The screenshots show him on the phone in front of screens, behind the wheel of a car with a custom pistol, and on the deck of a boat facing the towers of Vice City. He’s the one who brings Jason and Lucia into the most ambitious scores.
In the story
Raul is the story’s bank robber: the one who recruits, plans and pushes the others to take risks. The official screenshots show him in a light-colored suit on a neon-lit street, on the deck of a boat, on the phone in front of screens, and behind the wheel, pistol in hand. His introduction casts him as the driving force behind the big scores, with a warning from the studio about his recklessness: he’s the one raising the stakes for Jason and Lucia.
