Biography
Cal Hampton is the quintessential "guy in the chair"—a conspiracy theorist and tech enthusiast who's found his calling in the chaos of modern America. While most people are out hustling in Vice City's streets, Cal's perfectly content staying home with a few beers, monitoring Coast Guard communications through his amateur radio setup, and diving down internet rabbit holes with private browser tabs open.
Described as "casually paranoid" and "happy at the low tide of America," Cal represents a new breed of criminal support—the homebrew hacker who can provide crucial intel without ever leaving his couch. His hobby of snooping on Coast Guard comms isn't just paranoia; it's a valuable skill that helps identify smuggling opportunities, track law enforcement movements, and spot potential drug seizures before they happen.
As Jason's close friend and Brian Heder's tech associate, Cal fills the essential role of intelligence gatherer and digital lookout. He's the type who can pull up satellite imagery, decrypt radio chatter, and track shipping routes while simultaneously explaining his latest conspiracy theory about government surveillance (ironically, while conducting his own surveillance).
Community speculation strongly suggests comedian and actor Bobby Moynihan (known for SNL and other comedy work) voices Cal, bringing a laid-back, slightly neurotic energy to the character. For Jason and Lucia's heists, Cal will likely serve as mission control—providing real-time updates, hacking security systems, and keeping the crew one step ahead of the authorities. He's proof that in the modern criminal world, sometimes the most valuable player never leaves their gaming chair.
