Strickler is the main antagonist in the Cayo Perico Heist and provides the player with ample opportunities to succeed in GTA Online. He's a narcotrafficker and landowner who lives a lavish lifestyle. One of the properties owned by Strickler is Cayo Perico.

Strickler seems charming and delightful at first glance, but this is merely a facade. This character is ruthless and only looks after his own needs. Strickler might remind players of Big Smoke from GTA San Andreas.

#3 - Pavel

The Cayo Perico Heist is arguably the best in GTA Online, so players are bound to replay it. Fortunately, Pavel is present every time to help the player advance. Hence, it's tough to overlook this Russian sailor. Pavel is funny and charming, which is more than what some other characters can claim.

His memorable question to the protagonist in the game - "Have you ever tried shooting the missiles at the people on the flying bikes? Great sport here in America." - makes Pavel a fascinating character.

#2 - Georgina Cheng

It says a lot about a character if they're able to best Lester Crest. The talented, and self-proclaimed "89th best-dressed lady in China," Georgina Cheng is a Vice-President of the Cheng Family Holdings. As a GTA Online protagonist, Crest and Lester execute the Diamond Casino Heist, which leads to an intimate moment between the two.

Cheng is a true professional and a radical departure from the previous portrayal of female characters in the GTA universe.

#1 - Agent 14

Besides being the first character added via DLC, Agent 14 has several noteworthy traits that make him endearing to players. While he's initially shrouded in mystery, Agent 14 portrays himself as a criminal mastermind to hide his true identity.

Later in the game, he reveals himself to be an IAA agent (International Affairs Agency). This makes Agent 14's interactions with the central protagonist a fascinating experience.

Nonetheless, Agent 14 is helpful when it is convenient to him. He's also a brilliant detective. This character has quickly become one of the more important characters introduced through the GTA Online updates.
