Jason, Brian and Cal: three different relationships
Brian Heder gives Jason a place to live in exchange for help with local shakedowns. Cal Hampton is Jason’s friend and another associate of Brian. Lori is Brian’s wife and works with him at his boat yard.
Read those connections as a small relationship map: housing and work connect Jason to Brian; friendship connects Jason to Cal. This helps you distinguish a favor between friends from an obligation to somebody providing a home.

Where Raul Bautista fits
Rockstar introduces Raul as an experienced bank robber looking for capable recruits. His profile emphasizes increasingly risky jobs.
Keep Raul on a separate branch of your notes until a source establishes a specific connection. His occupation is useful context for reading a scene, but it does not by itself tell you who joins him, how a crew is assembled or what choices the player receives.

Match faces first, then revisit the scene
Rockstar’s screenshot library groups images under character names, making it a useful visual reference alongside these connections. Open a labeled portrait when a face is unfamiliar, then return to the video with just that identification in mind.
For a compact recap, write down three things: the person’s name, their confirmed connection and the source. Leave motives and future loyalties as questions. This keeps the reference useful without turning a public introduction into an invented plot summary.
