[November Rumour] On November 7th, Gaming Illustrated claimed to have leaked information from the December 2012 issue of Game Informer. The information supposedly included Albert DeSilva, a half-American and half-Puerto Rican 42 year old, and Dougie Vejo, a youthful criminal, as playable characters in addition to a mission called 'Alimony'
