Who Is Raul Bautista?
Raul Bautista is one of the established criminal figures Rockstar has revealed for Grand Theft Auto VI. He’s framed as an experienced, confident operator with a long history of bank robberies, known for spotting promising up-and-coming criminals and bringing them onto his crews for big scores.
Role in the Story
Raul appears in GTA VI’s second trailer in a shootout alongside protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, suggesting his heist work intersects directly with the main story. Rockstar’s official description also flags his recklessness — he keeps raising the stakes with every job, which hints he could become a liability as much as an asset.
Cover Art Appearance
Raul is one of the characters featured on GTA 6’s official cover art, shown holding a Duke assault rifle in front of the Sinfrontera National Bank — a strong visual tie to his bank-robbing background.
What We Don’t Know Yet
Rockstar hasn’t confirmed exactly how Raul’s crew connects to Jason and Lucia’s story, or whether he’s an ally, a rival, or both at different points.
