Brian Heder
Brian Heder is described by Rockstar as a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys, still moving product through his boat yard alongside his third wife, Lori. He lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties in exchange for help with local shakedowns. Eurogamer's Extended Look roundup confirms Brian and Lori are introduced together as a married couple, and in the same footage he offers Jason and Lucia a job from a third party with the caveat that only one of them can take it.
I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate.

Stills from the official trailers
Frames captured from Rockstar's own trailers, each labelled with the video and the timestamp it was taken at so you can go and check it. A still is weaker evidence than a press photograph — it is a moment paused mid-shot, not an image Rockstar chose to publish.
