Willy

Background

Willy, whose full name is given as William McTavish, is a Scottish heavy metal musician born in 1962. He once lived in Vice City and has since settled in Los Santos, where he appears in story mode as an aging rocker from a band whose best days are long behind it. He is voiced by Craig Connor.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

Willy belongs to the group of fading celebrities and eccentrics living around Los Santos. His appearance is a side encounter rather than part of the main heist story, and it plays on his past as a hard-living rock star who still clings to that image in middle age.

Personality

Willy keeps the loud, crude attitude of his touring days and carries himself as if he were still on stage.

Trivia

• The original Willy was the bassist of Love Fist in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, where he was heard but never shown, because he had no character model of his own.
• He was said to have left Love Fist by 1992, which in reality reflected the same missing model on the band's billboard in San Andreas.
• Like the names of his bandmates Dick and Percy, his name is a crude joke.
• The HD Universe version is a separate continuity variant, not the same person as the Vice City character.
