Smuggler in the Keys

Brian Heder

Brian Heder has been running drugs since smuggling in the Leonida Keys was at its height. He still ships through his boat yard, and he is Jason's landlord.

What Rockstar has told

The story so far

Brian has been running drugs since smuggling in the Keys was at its height. He is still at it, shipping through the boat yard he runs with Lori, his third wife. These days he leaves the risky work to other people.

Jason Duval is one of them. He lives in a place Brian owns and pays no rent; in return he helps Brian lean on people locally, and is expected to turn up for Lori's sangria from time to time. Cal Hampton works with Brian too.

To look at, he is one more Leonida beach drifter. Rockstar's profile likens the way he moves to a great white shark.

“I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate.”
