Unknown to most players and fans, Ken Rosenberg is the secondary protagonist of GTA Vice City. It was him who set up the deal between the Forelli Family and the Vance Crime Family, which got the entire storyline rolling for the game.

While not as popular as Tommy, Ken is one of those iconic characters in-game that has managed to not just stay relevant, but even be featured in GTA San Andreas, as well as GTA Vice City Stories.

3) Lance Vance

GTA Vice City players are all too familiar with the name Lance Vance. After losing his Brother Victor during the drug deal gone wrong, he vowed to find out who betrayed them and take his revenge.

What makes Lance so iconic is his slick and smooth personality, and his illustrious white suit that never seems to fade. Sadly though, towards the end of the game, even he betrays Tommy for fame and fortune.

2) Juan Cortez

Players may not remember his name, but his face, larger than life personality, and expensive yacht are unforgettable, and truly make Juan Cortez an iconic character in GTA Vice City.

Right from the moment that players are introduced to him, his personality brightens up the gloomy storyline thus far, as he vows to help Tommy get information about who ambushed them during the deal.

1) Ricardo Diaz

Although Sonny Forelli is the main antagonist in GTA Vice City, most fans will vouch that Ricardo Diaz was the much better villain in-game. He not only recruited Tommy to do his dirty work, but even betrayed him at the start of the game by hiring thugs to ambush the drug deal.

Now, despite his brutish personality and hot headedness, Ricardo is undoubtedly one of the most iconic characters from the game. It goes without saying that fans are patiently waiting for the remastered edition to drop, to get to take him out once again.
