“So, my cousin Yusuf here keeps a list of all the cars he wants. Now, it's my job to stay on top of it, and look into how we can get them. So, uh, if I find a way, then I will add it to your list here, on the computer. And if you pick one, then all the planning we do, we keep on the DL on the wall here.”

History

Background

Jamal is the younger cousin of wealthy real estate developer Yusuf Amir. According to Yusuf, Jamal was also "born wealthy" like him and claims that his life was always an orgy of drugs and literal orgies in Los Santos, and that he cannot focus on business. Thanks to his "party boy" nature, he got connections to wealthy people linked to organized crime in the city.

He owns a penthouse in Los Santos gifted by his uncle Abdul Amir, a yacht and a collection of luxury cars.

The Chop Shop

By 2023, Jamal is the manager of Red's Auto Parts, a salvage yard business used as a front for stolen luxury cars and auto parts. While visiting Los Santos, Yusuf Amir hears about the GTA Online Protagonist, a potential investor for the business, and after finally reaching them, Yusuf suggests they purchase the salvage yard.

Jamal is introduced to the GTA Online Protagonist by Yusuf shortly after purchasing the business. He explains to them how the illegal part of the business works, and how he has been planning to steal a list of luxury cars to be shipped to Yusuf's personal collection in Liberty City. Jamal's planning work for each car robbery is kept hidden, visible only in black light, on the wall behind the computer.
