Hugh Welsh

Background

Hugh Welsh is a low-skilled gunman who can be hired for later heists in Grand Theft Auto V. He is quiet and kind-hearted, and Franklin mentions that he writes screenplays in his spare time.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

Hugh can be selected for The Bureau Raid and The Big Score. In the covert approach of The Bureau Raid he dies in the escape explosion if paired with a good gunman; if paired with another weak gunman, the other man dies instead, and Hugh says he should have been the one to die. In the roof approach he survives without trouble. In the subtle approach of The Big Score he drops gold while loading the Gauntlet if placed as the first gunman, but he does a decent job in the obvious approach.

Trivia

• He is the only crew member who shows sympathy for teammates who die.
