Trevor Philips

Unreleased

"I'll swing by and sign the contracts, alright? Just ignore the bodies!"

- Trevor Phillips.

Trevor Phillips is one of the main protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V.

Early Life
"The guns and crank in this area go through Trevor Phillips Enterprises]... or they ain't going!"

- Trevor.

The history about Trevor is unknown but at some point in the early 90s, Trevor entered the military as a pilot and retired in the late 90s (by this time he'd be in his early 30s, by which point a soldier is too old for service). Somewhere in the late 90s, Trevor met Michael. Both men realized that they had a flare for robbery so Trevor decided to join Michael on heist jobs. Both became majorly successful in several heist jobs.

At some point in time both men had a falling out, causing a major rift in  their friendship, (some believe that it was Michael's deal with the FIB that caused said rift).

Events of GTA V
By the events of the game Trevor is living in a trash-riddle, filthy trailer in the desert of Blaine County with his best friend Ron - a paranoid conspiracy theorist - living next to him. Trevor ended up spending all of his money that was earned during his criminal days. Thus, Trevor needed to get back into the deadly game of robbery. The missions that Trevor may appear in are The Extraction and Pest Control. He also owns his own gun and crank business in Blaine County by the events of Grand Theft Auto V.

Trevor has been seen in many shots in the second trailer doing story mission based things. Some of those things include:
 * Unnamed missions involving Trevor


 * Trevor smashing a persons head in the counter in a bar.
 * Trevor unloading someones trailer into a river and then holds the person trying get it out at gunpoint.
 * Trevor setting a house ablaze with gasoline and a molotov cocktail and walking away like it never happened.
 * Trevor walking away from a gas station telling someone, "I'll swing by and sign the contract, just ignore the bodies!"
 * Trevor madly stomping someones head into the ground.
 * Trevor making a hasty escape in a plane.
 * A door getting blown of with three men in orange and gray jumpsuits.
 * Trevor driving a Bodhi out of the back of a plane in mid-air and then base jumping out of the Bodhi.
 * Trevor getting on top of a freight train that is about to collide with another frieght train. Before it can do so, he jumps off into the river below.

Relationships With Other Characters
Michael - Trevor and Michael grew a likeness for one another after they began to rob several banks back in the day. But somewhere in that time, both men had a falling out which led to a rift in their friendship.

Ron - Ron is Trevor's best buddy, and since Trevor can't have many friends for many reasons, (including the area in which both men live in), he is the closest friend beside Michael. But Ron is always paranoid but terrified to spend time with Trevor, (Ron being a paranoid conspiracy theorist).

Personality
Trevor has been describe as a difficult person to deal with, being smart, extreme, impetuous, vengeful, psychotic, unhinged, unpredictable, untamed, infamous, egoistic, and prone to violent outbursts and destructive rampages - in the second trailer he smashed an unknown person's head into a bar counter and was then seen setting a house on fire and walking out of the area without a care in sight (his drug addiction is what causes the out bursts and rampages). He is also a person of id rather than ego and does everything in a awful and relentless manner, (much different from Michael). Although Trevor is this kind of person, he is also honest about it and will never show hypocrisy and he will also have his own charm along with his own principals (being different from Michael's). But, Dan Houser has confirmed that Trevor may not be all he seems but is still to horrible to be a hero kind.

Dan Houser's take on Trevor
''“Trevor appeared to us pretty much out of nowhere as the embodiment of another side of criminality – of freedom, and of doing what you want. If Michael was meant to be the idea of some version of criminal control – or some sort of bourgeois criminal who tries to go straight and gets sucked back in – what about the guy who didn't do that? What about the opposite guy? What about the guy who just says ‘f--- off’ every moment, is relentless, doesn't want to stop taking drugs, doesn't want to stop partying, doesn't want to be told 'no' by anyone, and just completely revels in chaos?”''

"Trevor was the other side of the GTA coin, I suppose. He's the person who's driven purely by desire, resentment, no thought for tomorrow whatsoever, completely id rather than ego-driven. Constant partying, constant madness. The only thing he doesn't want to do is stop. He wants to keep going and ride it all to the end. Won't take an insult from anybody. Kills without remorse, like a true psychopath, but very sentimental for the right reasons when it suits him. That seemed like another side of the kind of GTA coin or the GTA world, but very rarely as the protagonist. That seemed an interesting guy to have as a protagonist. Very unlike anyone we've had in a game before. If you began to develop him and Michael and their previous relationships... We wanted this feeling where you start off thinking one's good and the other's awful. Then you get spun the other way. Then you get spun back the first way, until you can't decide."

Skills and Attributes
Because he is a former military aviation pilot, he is skilled in both combat and piloting aircraft like helicopters. In the mission Game Informer saw, Trevor was the one that flew the team to the skyscraper they needed to get their target out of. In the aftermath, as the team was pursued by law enforcement helicopters, he proved to be an able pilot under pressure. Trevor is also the master of greed, ambition, and insanity (along with Michael and Franklin), and is seen in many GTA V screenshots performing many challenging (and some illegal) stunts. Some of those stunts include base jumping, jetskiing, murdering, property destruction, and getting chased by the cops.

Appearance
The years haven't been kind to Trevor, as he is balding and disheveled. He is frequently scene wearing a plain and dirty white v-neck, dirty blue jeans or sweat pants and a pair of black boots to match. He is seen in one screenshot with a different outfit on - a jean jacket with a half buttoned up shirt along with a white undershirt and a pair of blue jeans to match. He also has several cuts on his face along with several tattoos (the famous tattoo of "CUT HERE" with the dotted line going across his neck, a dagger on his lower left arm, a flower on his upper left hand and lastly the words fuck on his left fingers and you on his right fingers. In some screenshots and during the second Grand Theft Auto V trailer, he is seen wearing a calculator watch on his left wrist. Trevor is an average guy when it comes to weight size. He isn't fat but at the same time he isn't musclar.

Reception
Trevor has had a very positive responses from many fans and critics about his "f*ck off!" personality, and extreme behavior. Fans of the series claim Trevor to be a protagonist who you can play and not feel awkward about killing random people. Trevor's grand appearance during the GI demo, is consider an unforgettable one and sets up the character nicely, (the camera is zoomed in on Trevor's face but then zooms out to show him sitting on the toilet fighting constipation while yelling the famous quote, "I need a fucking midwife for this thing!").
