Lori Heder

What Rockstar says

Lori has no profile of her own. She appears in two sentences about her husband. The first: "Brian's a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, Brian's been around long enough to let others do his dirty work." The second: "Brian's letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties - so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori's sangria once in a while."

What the two lines tell us

The first sentence puts Lori inside the business rather than beside it: the product moves through the boat yard "with" her, though Rockstar does not say what she does there. "Third wife" also tells us Brian has been married at least twice before.

The second sentence is lighter. Jason's rent is paid in shakedowns and in social visits, and the sangria makes Lori the host of the Heder household. Brian's own taglines run the same way: "Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset" and "Looks like a Leonida beach bum - moves like a great white shark." Drinks at sunset are the surface. The smuggling is underneath.

Brian's official galleryUnconfirmed

None of Rockstar's captions names Lori. One image in Brian's gallery shows "a woman, Brian, and Jason" standing "outside talking in front of a pickup truck. The woman stands behind Brian as he gives a handgun to Jason." The other Brian images show him holding a package while pointing at another man in a plane, leaning on a railing with two cans, and riding in a car with Jason at the wheel. His pull quote is "I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate." Whether the woman in the pickup scene is Lori has not been confirmed.

The era behind the coupleUnconfirmed

Rockstar's "golden age of smuggling in the Keys" and Brian's line about hauling grass by plane point at Florida's marijuana-running years. "Square grouper" became slang for bales of marijuana dumped or lost at sea off the coast during the drug-running 1970s, and between 1981 and 1983 the DEA ran Operation Everglades against smuggling in Everglades City. Rockstar has not given Lori's age or history, so how far back she goes with Brian is unknown.

What remains unspecifiedUnconfirmed

Rockstar has not shown a captioned image of Lori, named her voice actor, or said whether she appears in missions.
