[edit] Major Characters
[edit] Tanner
Introduced in "Introduction/First Istanbul Police Siege cut-scene"
Passed out in "Chase the Train" (but is bought back to life in the game's cliffhanger ending)
Tanner is a cop in the previous two games. In Driv3r, he is revealed to be an FBI agent linked to the Miami P.D. He is an obsessive risk-taker with good driving skills. Originally, Tanner was going to have the suit that he had in Driver 2, but it was changed to a black button shirt, and jeans.
Tanner poses as the driver for the Miami gang, South Beach, after having killed Baccus, the former driver. He is accepted after impressing them, and later on goes to Nice. Over there, South Beach eventually blows his cover and go against him. He goes onto Istanbul where he battles Jericho, who ends up shooting him instead. Tanner and Jericho are both in the hospital. Tanner's heart rate fails and the game ends with one of the surgeons putting paddles over the screen. There was a cliffhanger ending for Driv3r. It was a mobile game called Driver Vegas.
He was featured in a level of the game Grand Theft Auto III in the mission "Two-Faced Tanner". Rockstar North had formed a rivalry with Reflections and often gave the Driver series a bad name. In the mission (of GTA III), Tanner was seen with the clothes he had in Driver 2, plus a shaved head.
Tanner was voiced by Michael Madsen, who voiced Toni Cipriani in GTA III. Michael Madsen didn't supply the voice for Toni in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories probably because Rockstar North gave Driv3r a bad name.
[edit] Tobias Jones
Introduced in "Introduction/First Police Siege cut-scene"
Tobias is Tanner's partner who is highly accommodated to working with him (Tanner). He was first introduced in Driver 2 as a cop for the Chicago P.D..
Tobias is known to be calm, cool, confident, and admirable of Tanner's progress (as said in the booklet). But oddly, in the game, he is skeptical about Tanner's plans before a mission begins. Tobias doesn't go to Nice with Tanner, but later catches up with him in Istanbul.
There is only one level where you play as Tobias.
Tobias was voiced by Ving Rhames.
[edit] Jericho
Introduced in "Introduction/First Istanbul Police Siege Cut-scene" (although his full identity is revealed in "Gator's Yacht)
Jericho serves as the main antagonist of the game. He is cold, ruthless, and extremely violent. Anyone who gets in his way ends up getting shot by him, then he goes on his own until he finds another group. His victims were Solomon Caine and The Bagman.
Jericho was voiced by Mickey Rourke.
[edit] Calita
Introduced in "Rooftops" (although there is a flashback clip of her beforehand)
Calita is the leader of the South Beach gang and is the secondary antagonist in the game. Her appearance is very similar to Catilina, the main antagonist of Grand Theft Auto: III. Her personality is similar to Jericho's, as a cold, ruthless, fierce, and extremely violent person. She even bonds with Jericho in the last Nice scene. Calita is known to have killed her own gang members at one point, with only one escaping the scene.
Tanner arrests Calita in Istanbul, while Tobias chases the Bagman. Tanner gets Calita just as he and Tobias foil the drop scene.
Calita was voiced by Michelle Rodriguez.
[edit] Henri Vauban
"Introduced in "Introduction/First Istanbul Police Siege cut-scene"
Vauban is an Interpol agent who enlists helping Tanner track down South Beach. Tanner first meets with him in Nice at the airport. He has a history of having lost two fingers while working as a cop years ago. Years ago, he was also known as Carnot. Vauban worked with the Bagman- who cut off his first finger (the second one was done by Vauban himself)- in his earlier cop days. Lomaz tells Tanner and Bad Hand the story in an intermission sequence. Bad Hand listens while Tanner gets nervous. TIMMY (1947?-1979?) ONLY FOUND ON FREERIDE
[edit] Supporting Characters
[edit] Lomaz
Introduced in "Rooftops"
May be killed in "Alleyway"
Lomaz is a South Beach gang member. He is a hardware specialist and is described as a "gun freak with pimp chic". He often does deals with other gangs in cities that the gang travels to for new or used stolen hardware.
Lomaz beats up Tanner on two occasions after blowing his cover. Tanner and Jones beat Lomaz up in Istanbul later to make him give the information of the drop site that takes place near a stadium.
Lomaz's future is a little controversial. It is unknown whether he is arrested or killed. In the recap, Jones is seen holding an unconscious Lomaz as if he were dead.
In the opening cut-scene of the game, there is a man seen in a restaurant who looks like Lomaz.
[edit] The Gator
Introduced in "Trapped"
The Gator is a crime lord who is used by Calita for deals she does on islands. He screwed her on one deal, which lead to a rivalry between South Beach and Gator's gang. Calita attempts to get revenge on the Gator after he screwed her for the last time. She sends Tanner and Lomaz to kill him. After having thought he was dead for a while, he was revealed to still be alive in "Surveillance", an Istanbul mission. He becomes useful then, because he knows where the cars that South Beach has stolen are going: to Russia.
The Gator's office is located on Dodge Island. Tanner goes to visit him and falls into a trap when he has a shootout with the gang.
[edit] Fabienne
Introduced in "Arms Deal"
Killed in "Calita In Trouble"''
Fabienne is the French leader of a local gang in Nice. Just like what happened with Gator's gang, a rivalry forms between South Beach and Fabienne's gang after Tanner is sent to steal a car from them.
Fabienne traps Calita in a small courtyard when Calita goes to steal another car from them. Tanner and Lomaz go to help Calita. Fabienne is killed when Tanner smashes a car containing a bomb into her truck (she placed the bomb to try and kill Tanner and Lomaz.)
[edit] Didier Dubois
Introduced in "Welcome To Nice"
Killed in "Hunted''
Dubois is often with Vauban also working undercover. Dubois messes up often and winds up him and Tanner into trouble with South Beach. The first time, Calita sees him taking the cars from their (South Beach's) truck. The second time, Tanner is beat up by Lomaz and Bad Hand and is forced to kill a hanging Dubois (although it doesn't succeed due to a missing clip in the gun). The third time, Jericho, Calita, and Lomaz track down Tanner and Dubois in the boathouse. In his final moments, Jericho takes Tanner's gun and shoots Dubois twice in the shoulder, then Calita shoots Dubois in the back of the neck. Dubois' death leads Vauban to thinking Tanner was the killer.
[edit] The Bagman
Introduced in "18-Wheeler"
Killed in "Bomb Truck"
The Bagman is a French criminal. He is the one who copped off one of Vauban's fingers years ago. His name comes from the bags his victims get put in after they are killed. He is known for having his last victim ending up in 17 bags and spread all throughout the city.
Tobias chases after the Bagman after the drop in Istanbul is foiled. The Bagman gets away and leaves Jones to escape from the attacking gang. Calita is arrested by Tanner at the same time and then gives the drop information. Tanner, Jones, and the rest of the police team spy on Jericho and the Bagman. The Bagman delivers half of the money he was supposed to give Jericho. Jericho gets angry and ends up shooting the Bagman, leading Tanner and Jones to chase him in a truck filled with bombs, only they don't know that Jericho used Bad-Hand as a decoy.
For some reason, the Bagman wears a dark suit. In the game-play, his suit is tan, and his shirt is changed from white to blue.
[edit] Minor Characters
[edit] Baccus
Introduced/Killed in "The Siege"
Baccus was the former driver for South Beach, until Tanner shot him. Tobias describes him as "delusional/violent... your regular lovable psychopath. He was first seen watching TV ads just when the police arrived. He had a hostage, who's identity was never revealed but only seen in the shadows. Tanner shoots down some of the gang members then chases Baccus through the streets of Miami. Tanner shoots Baccus in an alleyway in a cut-scene. Baccus is killed when he reaches in his pocket to take out the keys, which Tanner thought was a gun at first.
Although Baccus' appearance is very brief, he is listed in the credits as if he were an important character.
Baccus was voiced by Iggy Pop. DRIV3R also features his song "Gimme Danger" in one of the cut-scenes.
[edit] Bad Hand
Introduced in "Rooftops"
Killed in "Chase the Train"
Bad Hand is one of the South Beach gang members. He doesn't contribute much importance to the game except for the fact that he was used as a decoy to let Jericho escape, and was killed in the process. In the cutscene 'The Switch' he is in the cab of the Bomb Truck, apparently lifeless with his eyes open. Bad Hand's name presumably is linked to the fact that in-game he is seen with a bandage wrapped around his left wrist.
[edit] Solomon Caine
Introduced/Killed in "Gator's Yacht"
Jericho was the former lieutenant and bodyguard to Solomon Caine until Jericho shot him in an elevator. Solomon Caine was a gangster with an empire stretching from Chicago to Las Vegas. Apparently Calita had a deal with him, which is hinted at when she is arrested and interviewed by Tanner and Tobias Jones in the cutscene "2 Days Late." Tobias: "Calita won't talk until we explain why Caine ain't returning calls, and starts figuring Jericho's gonna whack her next for screwing up"
[edit] Tico
Introduced in "Impress Lomaz" Killed in "The Hit"
Tico is an assassin who tries to kill you and Lomaz in the exclusive mission for PC named The Hit. He is introduced (but not seen) in "Rooftops," where Tanner must deliver the V8 car Baccus traded to Tico's gang back to South Beach. He is also featured (but again, not seen) in "Impress Lomaz," where Tanner wrecks one of his yards. Tico is working for The Gator, and after being chased by Tanner through Miami, he is killed.
