Red Stevens is a veteran journalist whose career has taken him across the globe, working with major news outlets in New York, London, and Tokyo before bringing his experience to Los Santos. Known for his sharp delivery and trusted presence, he now serves as the anchor of the Vinewood Journal, dedicated to delivering clear, honest, and uncompromising news.
A battle-hardened military veteran, he traded the deserts and jungles of foreign lands for the gritty backstreets of Los Santos. After years of service, he returned home with a sharpened skill set and an unshakable moral compass. But instead of fading quietly into civilian life, he embedded himself in the city’s underworld, going undercover in gangs, biker crews, and syndicates to expose the truth hidden beneath the neon lights. Every night, he walks the line between criminal and informant, gathering intel, living in the chaos, and writing it all down. Now serving as the street reporter for the Vinewood Journal, he uses his military discipline and fearless attitude to bring raw, unfiltered stories straight from the alleys, safehouses, and shadows of Los Santos.
John Steele built his career in the shadows of America’s intelligence world. Starting in the White House’s cybersecurity division, his skills soon carried him to the NSA and CIA, where he became a trusted hand against espionage and cyber-terror threats. For a short time, he even deployed overseas with Ground Branch, providing digital dominance to elite operatives in hostile environments. Now in Los Santos, Steele works as a software developer and cybersecurity specialist, quietly guarding systems while carrying the secrets of a man who has seen and stopped threats most will never know existed.
