What is the protagonist in gta online?

Grand Theft Auto Online is the online component of Grand Theft Auto V, released by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. The game is set in the fictional state of San Andreas, modeled after Southern California, and allows up to thirty players to explore its open world, which includes a countryside and the city of Los Santos based on Los Angeles. Players assume control of a customizable silent protagonist, who can be tailored in appearance, skills, and equipment. This character is the central figure for all multiplayer interactions, missions, and social activities within the game. Because the protagonist is player-created, there is no fixed storyline or predetermined identity; instead, each player builds their own narrative through the game's cooperative and competitive modes.
