Jamal Amir

Background

Jamal Amir is from the United Arab Emirates and is the younger cousin of real estate developer Yusuf Amir. Like Yusuf, he was born into money. Yusuf says Jamal has spent his time in Los Santos on drugs and wild parties instead of business, but that lifestyle has connected him with rich people tied to organized crime. He lives in a penthouse that his uncle Abdul Amir gave him, and he also owns a yacht and a collection of luxury cars. His codename is "Drip King".

Role in GTA Online

The Chop Shop (2023): Jamal manages Red's Auto Parts, a salvage yard that fronts for stolen luxury cars and parts. Yusuf persuades the protagonist to buy the yard, then introduces Jamal. Jamal explains how the illegal side of the business works: Yusuf keeps a wish list of cars, and Jamal works out how to steal them so they can be shipped to Yusuf's collection in Liberty City. His plans for each job are written on the wall behind the computer and can only be seen under black light. He oversees the Salvage Yard Robberies and the Tow Truck Service.

Money Fronts (2025): Jamal still runs the yard. One of Yusuf's cars is stolen by a criminal calling himself "Howard Sayer". The protagonist gets it back as a favor for Mr. Faber and hands it over to Jamal. During the Hands On Car Wash laundering jobs, a stash car is sold after the money is unloaded, and either Hao or Jamal can buy it to strip for parts.
