Don Percival

Donald "Don" Percival is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, being a minor, unseen character in Grand Theft Auto V.

Background
Percival is an Ex-Navy SEAL who founded Merryweather in 2003 using money from a coup in Western Africa. He floated Merryweather on the BAWSAQ stock exchange in 2010, and is now expanding domestic operations to appease shareholder demand. Percival is also lobbying the US government for a new war in the Middle East, Asia, Africa or France to help turn the economy around.

He recently teamed up with Vinewood actor Bruce Spade as he seeks to follow up his humanitarian work in war zones with military action.

Events of GTA V
He started to hold a grudge against Michael De Santa and Trevor Phillips after they have been ruining their reputation by stealing precious cargo his militia was guarding.

After completing the game on the "Deathwish" ending, he will send both of the characters an e-mail explaining that he is glad that they killed Devin Weston because he was able to buy his shares in the company and which he anticipated would earn him a lot of money but also warns them to "not fuck with [him] again".

Mission appearances

 * GTA V
 * The Third Way (Post-mission e-mail)

Trivia

 * Percival is based off of Erik Prince, the founder and former CEO and Chairman of Blackwater Worldwide (now Academi). Prince was himself a former SEAL who served with SEAL Team 8 from approximately 1993 to 1995.
 * In the mission "The Big Score (Obvious)", Lester will mention Percival when shooting down the Merryweather helicopters, but the subtitles misspell his name as "Perceval".
 * Its possible Percival disliked Devin Weston as seen if the player completes 'The Third Way' where he will send Michael and Trevor an email,which includes thanking them for killing Weston as he would no longer have to deal with him.
