| ~ Lamar roasting Franklin after the latter refuses to let him in his house, his most infamous quote. |
Lamar Davis is one of the two deuteragonists of Grand Theft Auto V (alongside Lester Crest) and the tritagonist of Grand Theft Auto Online.
He is an incompetent and destructive gangster associated with the Families and Franklin Clinton's best friend, as well as a close friend of Trevor Philips. Despite his tendencies to cause havoc, Lamar is a loyal friend to Franklin and often helps him out whenever he needs it.
He is voiced by Gerald "Slink" Johnson.
History[]
Lamar and Franklin both went to Davis High School when they were teenagers, eventually, the two became involved with crime.
While working for Simeon, both Lamar and Franklin stole many vehicles from their owners which were a white 9F, a red Rapid GT, a green Bagger motorcycle, and a yellow BeeJay XL SUV until Michael caused them to get fired. Lamar eventually finds an "opportunity" to kidnap a Ballas "OG" member named D for a large amount of money ($40,000). With the help of his dog Chop, they succeed in kidnapping him, but were forced to free him when Lamar inadvertently revealed their location. Later, their friend Harold "Stretch" Joseph is released from jail. Lamar celebrates by attending a drug deal at a warehouse in La Puerta. Unbeknownst to them, it was Stretch's trap to get them killed. When Franklin finds Ballas members arriving instead of the LSPD, Stretch covers this up by killing D, and the trio escapes the warehouse, killing Ballas members and escaping the cops along the way.
When Franklin returns to his old house where his auntie Denise lives, Lamar is there too but Franklin's unstable friend, Trevor Phillips, shows up as well. To Franklin's dismay, Trevor joins him, Chop and Lamar to the deal, where he recognizes the Ballas attempting to scam Lamar. The ensuing shootout attracts the attention of LSPD, forcing the three to escape via jet ski while Chop flees to Franklin's place on his own. Lamar eventually befriends Trevor from this point and calls him "crazy dude".
Eventually, Devin Weston gives Lamar an opportunity to make a lot of money by helping Franklin and Trevor hijack expensive luxury cars and take them to Paleto Bay. The hijacking was on hold due to Trevor and Michael hiding from Martin Madrazo until Lester Crest called off his vendetta. Unfortunately, Devin refuses to pay them, with Franklin calling it money for nothing at all.
Later on, it is revealed by Tanisha that Lamar has been set up by Stretch, getting him kidnapped by the Ballas at the sawmill in Blaine County. Franklin was initially reluctant, as he was the one tying up Lamar's loose ends, only for Lamar to spark more trouble. Eventually, he gets Michael and Trevor to assist him, and Lamar is rescued.
If Ending A or B is chosen, Lamar says he can't be seen in the day in case Stretch will go after him, and he also cannot hang out with Trevor in Ending B. If Ending C is chosen, Lamar stands up for Franklin and accompanies him against his suggestions, helping Franklin, Michael and Trevor to fight off the Merryweather security and FIB teams hunting for them. Lamar disappears after the shootout, and the protagonists proceed to kill their nemeses. Lamar confirms to Franklin he survived, and praises Franklin for his valor, while also avaliable for hangouts anytime.
In The Contract update, set after Ending C, Lamar remains Franklin's friend and associate but also runs his own weed business. It's also been stated that he's very close with Franklin's kids, with Lamar comically stating that they love him more than they love Franklin.
Personality[]
Lamar is described as crazy but a "good kind of crazy" and "very funny", and the opposite of his best friend Franklin. He is very prideful of his Apache descent and uses this to express himself and is the basis of several of his jokes. Like Franklin, he is rather affable to those who don't mess with him; however, his reckless nature results in him being overly trusting.
Lamar is seen to be lazy and tends to get himself in trouble by blindly trusting anyone offering him money, showing he is not very bright. He constantly gets himself, Franklin, and others into situations that common sense people would normally keep away from. Lamar in general is an unsuccessful criminal, all of the criminal heists he comes up with normally ends penniless and near death. Even when he does pull one of his schemes off, it's only because someone helped him, or that he actually took the time to plan ahead.
Though Lamar is a loyal friend to Franklin, where he is capable of assisting Franklin, Michael, and Trevor although Franklin warned him he will most likely die. This proves that despite his somewhat poor treatment of Franklin, Lamar is highly loyal and a great friend to have. If not for his reckless nature, he would be a decent, if inexperienced career criminal.
