8. Lamar Davis
Lamar is one of the first few characters you will come across in GTA V, as he and Franklin go about stealing (or 'repo-ing') cars for the dealership where they work. He and Franklin have a strong bond (they are "homies", if you will) that comes from a long time of working together. Lamar also comes complete with his dog, Chop, who is equally useful and useless. Lamar has a strong sense of loyalty and family, and when things start to look up for Franklin, he can't help feeling like he's been left out in the cold. Lamar may be more of a traditional GTA character than some of the others in the game, but his interactions show the certain complexity and individuality that the series is known for. Lamar always has something intelligent to say, even if he doesn't have the eloquence to really say it, and he shows that there is more to a small time gangster than meets the eye. Of course, he is really looking out for number one, but who in GTA doesn't wear that label?
