Released in 2001, it is the game that puts an end to the entire story timeline of Grand Theft Auto 3D universe. With Claude finding peace in the end with Maria, this game is filled with fun characters.

5 Best Characters in GTA III
5. Salvatore Leone
He is the Don of Portland, who wants to have control over all the gangs in Liberty City. He is the leader of the Mafias and is very well respected in his community. Moreover, he has many underdogs, who later act as bosses to Claude in the game. Salvatore is not just limited to GTA III, but we also get to see and learn more about his backstory better in GTA Liberty City Stories.
4. Toni Cipriani
Toni Cipriani is the underdog or a puppet to Salvatore Leone. He respects him very much and considers Salvatore as his mentor. He acts like a boss but fears his mother, ‘Ma’ in the game, who is always dissatisfied with what he does. Toni is the protagonist in GTA Liberty City Stories, which is a very good storyline plot by Grand Theft Auto. Toni hates the Triads gang and is even ready to blow up an entire fish factory full of Triads and orders Claude to do so.
3. Maria Latore
Maria Latore is the girlfriend of Salvatore Leone who is only with him for the money. She is very whimsical and often throws tantrums. In GTA Liberty City Stories, we even get to know her backstory about how she turned out to be like this. Maria is Claude’s main helpful ally in GTA III. She saves Claude from dying from a trap set by her boyfriend Salvatore and introduces her to Asuka, which continues the game further.

2. Asuka Kasen
Asuka is the sister of Kenji, the leader of the Yakuza gang. She is a very serious yet interesting character in the game. She is an important ally to Claude in the game as she saves Claude and takes him to Staunton Island with Maria. She speaks in a very preachy, calm voice and has very interesting yet difficult missions in the game. She beats up Miguel, avenging the murder of her brother Kenji who was actually killed by Claude.
1. 8-Ball
8-Ball is the first character that we interact with in GTA III, after escaping the police escort van and then going to the safehouse in Portland. He introduces us to Luigi, which continues the game further. He works as a guide and a mentor in GTA III. If it were not for 8-Ball, Claude would not be able to get any connections and house in Liberty City. He is a true mentor and a friend in the game.
These are best characters in Grand Theft Auto III that make the game more playable and action packed.
