In GTA Online's character creation, you can select Claude from GTA III and Niko Bellic from GTA IV as your father, and Misty from GTA III as your mother — making your online protagonist canonically related to iconic characters across the series.
Some primitive shack on Cayo Perico — no relation to character creation, but Claude was basically a primitive force of nature in GTA III anyway.
Crashed FIB jet — maybe one of these pilots was Niko's dad, dude shot down enough planes in the war.
Map of the FIB crash site — nowhere near character creation, but Misty was always getting lost in Liberty City too.
Another crashed jet on the map — maybe this one's John Marston's dad falling from the sky, dude had a thing for dramatic falls.
Crashed jet up close — Claude never had a plane, but if he did, this is exactly how that would end.
Drowned corpse in the drainage tunnel — nothing to do with picking your parents, but if Claude's your dad, this is probably your future.
Trevor's military past leaks through the radio static — but only when YOU play as him.
