Can the gta v protagonists be used in gta online?

Grand Theft Auto Online, released in 2013 and later updated for newer consoles, is the online multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V. In the online game, players create and customise a silent protagonist, choosing appearance, clothing, and various attributes. The three main protagonists of the single‑player story—Franklin, Michael, and Trevor—are not available as playable characters in any online mode. Their likenesses and personalities are exclusive to the narrative campaign, and the online experience is designed to support a separate, multiplayer-focused character system.
