Jezz Torrent

Background

Jezz Torrent is the lead singer of Love Fist, a hard-living Scottish glam metal band touring the United States in 1986. Alongside bandmates Dick, Percy and Willy, he spends his time in Vice City drinking, partying and causing chaos, with Kent Paul acting as the band's fixer.

Love Fist is in Vice City to play a big concert, and the band spends its free time at recording sessions, autograph signings and parties. Their behavior attracts trouble, including a dangerous stalker, and Kent Paul brings in Tommy Vercetti to keep them safe and supplied.

Events of GTA Vice City

• In Love Juice, the band wants a drug they call "Love Juice". Tommy Vercetti chases down a dealer who flees on a PCJ-600, then picks up Mercedes Cortez and brings her to the band's recording studio.
• In Psycho Killer, the band is being stalked by an obsessed fan. Tommy drives the Love Fist limo to a signing at Rock City, where the stalker, disguised as a woman, kills a guard and escapes. Tommy chases him down.
• In Publicity Tour, the stalker turns out to have survived and plants a bomb in the limo that will explode if it slows down. Tommy keeps the car at speed while the band defuses the bomb.
• After the bikers of Mitch Baker agree to provide security, the band's concert goes ahead.
• Love Fist's bandmates Dick, Percy and Willy appear alongside Jezz in all three missions.

Personality

Jezz is loud, rowdy and permanently hungover. He speaks in a thick Scottish accent and treats danger as part of the rock lifestyle, though the stalker frightens the whole band.

He and his bandmates are loud, crude and constantly hungover, speaking in heavy Scottish accents and treating every crisis as part of the rock and roll lifestyle. For all their bravado, they are genuinely frightened when the stalker strikes and depend on Tommy to protect them.
