Alan Jerome

Background

Alan Jerome, who insists on being called Al because he thinks "Alan" sounds old, is the American showman behind Arena War and its production company, Alan Jerome Productions. He works closely with Bryony, who handles the practical side of getting competitors into the show. He arrived with the Arena War update on December 11, 2018.

Role in GTA Online

Al wants to launch a new internet show built around armored cars destroying each other, and he has Bryony find a driver for it. She contacts the GTA Online Protagonist, who buys an Arena Workshop to take part.

When the protagonist reaches the workshop, Al checks in with Bryony on preparations for opening night and lays out his grand vision: a sport that will replace American football and make young people want to crash cars instead of playing ball. After confirming the protagonist is signed up, he leaves to take his place as announcer. He comes back after the opening event to congratulate the player, talks about drawing up a contract, celebrates the show's success and asks for a massage to unwind.

He is not seen in person after that, but his voice remains a constant in Arena War matches, where he commentates alongside celebrity co-hosts such as Jock Cranley and Violet Jordan.

Personality

Al is loud, vain and relentlessly promotional, selling Arena War as a mix of sex, speed, money and explosions.
