Lamar Davis in GTA 5: All You Need to Know

If there ever was an award for the 'Funniest Character in a video game', then Lamar Davis from GTA V would win that award every year without a doubt.

He is the sort of character that grows on you, but that depends on whether you're willing to sympathize with Lamar's struggles and relate to his beliefs.

A childhood friend of Franklin Clinton, both him and Franklin grew up in Chamberlain Hills. They subsequently became part of the Chamberlain Gangster Families (CGF) as they grew up.

The friends later went on to form their own gang called Forum Gangsters as Franklin grew tired of not being able to make money with the CGF. He wanted to do more than just being caught up with gang violence.

Franklin chose to abandon his gang banging days and leave behind the CGF and Forum onto greener pastures with Michael de Santa. Lamar, on the other hand, chooses to stay and according to him "make his money in the 'hood".

Lamar Davis appears in both GTA 5's single player campaign as well as GTA: Online as a contact who gives the protagonists various missions.
