Are the characters from gta v s story in gta online?

Grand Theft Auto Online is a separate multiplayer mode that runs on the same engine as Grand Theft Auto V, but it introduces its own set of customisable characters and missions. The Wikipedia entry for GTA Online describes it as an online component of GTA V, focusing on open‑world gameplay, cooperative and competitive modes, and a large player base, but it does not mention the inclusion of the main story characters from the single‑player campaign. Because the source does not state that these characters are present, we cannot confirm their appearance in the online game. Players in GTA Online create and control their own avatars rather than using the pre‑defined protagonists from the story mode. Therefore, based on the cited evidence, there is no support that the GTA V story characters are part of GTA Online.
