Unnamed Leonida Criminal
The unnamed Leonida criminal is a character set to appear in Grand Theft Auto 6.
The heavily tattooed criminal is shown briefly in the first GTA 6 trailer. The clip shows the criminal being arrested by the Vice-Dale Police Department as reported by Mega Noticias. According to a translation of the report, a tattoo on his neck led to his arrest.
The male character appears to take inspiration from Lawrence Sullivan, a Florida native who went viral in 2017 for his resemblance to the Joker from the Batman series. He later became known as the "Miami Joker" and "Florida Joker." [1]
Following the release of GTA 6's first trailer, Sullivan demanded payment from Rockstar Games for using his likeness for the character. He initially asked for $2 million before raising his demand to $3 million on December 13. He later dropped his lawsuit and asked for a role in the game instead. Rockstar didn't respond to either demand.
