Grand Theft Auto Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Trevor Philips — Trevor served in the Canadian Air Force, but canon says he served in the Canadian Army.

Trevor Philips — The phrasing that Trevor 'escaped' during the 2004 Ludendorff heist is misleading; he fled after the heist went wrong, believing Michael and Brad were dead.

Carl Johnson — The entry states CJ was 'second-in-command of the Grove Street Families' at the start of the game; in canon, he is a low-ranking member who later becomes the leader, not second-in-command from the outset.

Claude — Claude does not escape Liberty City at the end; the final cutscene shows him walking away from the exchange site, not leaving the city.

Grove Street Families — The entry claims that Big Smoke and Ryder were aiding Tenpenny in covering up the murder of officer Ralph Pendelbury, whose own vehicle was used in the killing. In canon, the officer killed was named Ralph Pendelbury, but the vehicle used was not his own; it w

The Yakuza — The Yakuza first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 (1999), not Grand Theft Auto III (2001).

The Yakuza — In GTA III, the Yakuza are not a major faction controlling the Portland docks or engaged in a turf war with the Leone Mafia; they appear only in a few missions and the main rivals are the Diablos and Forellis.

The Lost Motorcycle Club — The entry states the Lost's conflict with the Vagos over drug distribution routes in Los Santos is 'notably bloody in established canon, as depicted in Grand Theft Auto V where the two gangs engage in active, violent turf wars, including a shootout at the Lost
