Karl Abolaji

Background

Karl Abolaji is a Nigerian-American freelance gunman from Los Santos, voiced by Jaime Lincoln Smith. Lester Crest calls him solid but warns never to ask him about the psychiatric industry, a nod to his membership in the Epsilon Program. He becomes available as a crew option after Planning The Big Score.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

Karl can be hired only for The Big Score, where his cut is 8 percent. In the subtle approach, if he is the first gunman he drops gold bars while loading the getaway Gauntlet, costing the crew a large share of the take; as the second gunman he causes no losses. In the obvious approach he performs adequately, but as the second gunman he is more likely to be hit in the police shootout and must be protected, because the mission fails if a gunman dies.

Role in GTA Online

Karl returns as the weakest gunman option in The Diamond Casino Heist, taking only 5 percent. His Unmarked Weapons loadouts are basic: a Sawed-Off Shotgun or Heavy Revolver with an SMG and Molotovs for the Aggressive approach, a Micro SMG or Double Barrel Shotgun with a Ceramic Pistol for The Big Con, and suppressed Micro SMG or Machine Pistol setups with a Stun Gun for Silent & Sneaky.

Trivia

• During his mission appearance he shouts at police that his money goes to his church.
• He cannot be hired when replaying missions.
