The tritagonist is the third most important character in a narrative, after the protagonist and deuteragonist. Many tritagonists in the GTA series have a lot in common. Most tritagonists have never met the protagonist before and start to know them better through the missions that they give to them. Some tritagonists are closely associated with a deuteragonist such as Asuka Kasen and Little Jacob. Some tritagonists who have known the protagonist for a while are Ashley Butler, Hsin Jaoming, and all of the tritagonists in Grand Theft Auto V.
