VCS and III, Victor Vance was a cool badass, he was was not like CJ, who never stood up for himself and let Tenpenny push him about, Vic Vance would have slapped Tenpenny in his f***ing mouth if he gave him sh*t.
And Claude, is arguably the best, even though he never talks, he always kills, he was never loyal to the people who gave him work, he would always kill them (Kenji and Salvatore) and only does it for the money, he even kills Maria at the end credits and never whined or screamed like a b*tch, which was what CJ would often do.
