Jason Malone

Jason "The Kid" Malone
Jason "The Kid" Malone is a skilled MMA fighter and the main protagonist of Gangstar Vegas. He is the player's character and can be customized with a huge amount of apparel, weapon and vehicle.

It is unclear about Jason Malone's early years, other than the fact that he grew up in Boston, USA and had a cousin named Paul O'Reilly. Both Paul and Jason had past dealings with the local gangs/mafia in Boston and after Paul was killed in a gang shootout, Jason Malone escaped to Las Vegas to avoid trouble from the Boston gangs.

He joined a MMA prized fight against Pietro Holston, who was secretly backed by the Las Vegas Mafia/Kingpin Frank Veliano. Frank ordered Jason to go "down in the fourth". But Pietro went down in the third round, prompting Jason to escape with Frank Veliano and his mafia hot on his trail. Jason remembered what Paul (his cousin) told him, about calling Vera Montello (another less-powerful mafia who Paul worked for) for help in case of emergency. He was eventually caught on The Strip, after his car was flipped by one of Frank's guy ramming into him. However, Karen (Vera's accountant) arrived and got Jason out of the mess and into the organized criminal war against Frank Veliano.

Jason, alongside with Vera, Karen, Edward "E-Man" (and later on, Benny), eventually managed to cripple Frank Veliano's grip on Las Vegas and tip his mafia "empire". The main storyline ends there.

There are various side missions such as [Devil's Due], [Devilish Deeds], [Classified Mission] and [UFO Sighting], in which all features Jason Malone as the main character, but with a touch of the supernatural element.
