The short version
- Jason grew up around grifters and criminals, served in the Army, and returned to crime in the Keys.
- He works for local drug runners when the story begins.
- His ability is a slow-motion mode that highlights enemy weak points.
- He is framed as the more reactive half of the pair.
Jason Duval's biography is a sequence of environments he did not choose. That is unusual for a Grand Theft Auto protagonist, and it is the clearest signal of what kind of story Rockstar is telling.
He is not a man with a plan. He is a man with a skill set and no exit.

Official profileThe background
Rockstar puts Jason's childhood among grifters and crooks. He joined the Army to get away from it.
The framing is escape, not vocation. It did not take. He came out and landed in the Leonida Keys, working for local drug runners.
One phrase carries the character
Rockstar describes that work as doing what he knows best.
That says his competence and his criminality are the same thing. There is no version of Jason who gets out by being good at something.
How that shapes the gameplay
The ex-military background is not decoration.
His ability is a marksman's ability
Jason's confirmed ability is a slow-motion mode that highlights enemy weak points.
It fits a man whose training is the most valuable thing he owns. Our long guns guide covers what he would be using it with.
What that suggests about missions
Expect him to be the more combat-focused of the two.
Rockstar has not confirmed any hard split of roles, so treat that as a reading rather than a fact.
