http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Michael_tvtropes_8496.jpg
->"[[CatchPhrase You forget a thousand things every day.]] [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Make sure this is one of them.]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Ned Luke
A middle-aged ex-robber currently retired and under the [[{{FBI}} FIB's]] WitnessProtection, living in a posh mansion in Rockford Hills (the game's equivalent of Beverly Hills) with his dysfunctional family -- disrespectful daughter Tracy, lazy son Jimmy, and spendthrift wife Amanda, whose habits force him to return to a life of crime. Or at least, that's what he says; in truth, Michael is bored and frustrated by his domestic life, his only outlets being [[TheAlcoholic whiskey]], watching old Vinewood action movies, and trips to his therapist. He serves as the "brains" and leader of the gang, and is described as a "smooth operator".
----
* TheAlcoholic: Out of boredom and his depressing family life.
* AwfulWeddedLife: To Amanda, with whom he trades curses and screams.
* {{Badass}}
** BadassInANiceSuit: Due to his more affluent lifestyle compared to the other protagonists.
** RetiredBadass: Initially.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Subverted. He claims to come out of retirement because he doesn't have any talents except bank robbery but really he's only making excuses to jump back into the game so he doesn't have to put up with his fractured and mundane domestic life.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't really mind Amanda's cheating -- in fact, he also cheats on her quite frequently, and both are pretty honest about the fact that their marriage had ran its course. What ''does'' rile him up, however, is the fact that she had to cheat on him in ''their'' house, on ''their'' bed, with a guy ''he is paying to spend time with her''.
-->"If I have to use a motel, she has to use a motel!"
* BulletTime: His special ability, ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'' style.
* CatchPhrase: Turns out it isn't a great idea for a career criminal to have a signature catchphrase, but Michael can't resist, seen above.
* ChronicVillainy: He is bored by civilian life and cannot come to terms with it, and therefore uses Amanda's spendthrift lifestyle as an excuse for him to return to a life of crime.
* ClimbingClimax: The "Kill [[spoiler:Mike]]" ending concludes with Franklin pursuing Mike up an industrial catwalk, trading gunfire and accusations. Mike eventually [[spoiler:topples over the edge and dies]].
* {{Cuckold}}: His wife constantly cheats on him with any man she can, though Michael is just as bad with his girlfriends.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DisproportionateRetribution: He catches Amanda's tennis instructor in bed with her. So he chases him down and tears down his house. [[FromBadToWorse Except it wasn't his house]].
* {{Expy}}: To Neil [=McCauley=] of ''Film/{{Heat}}'' as well as his actor, RobertDeNiro.
** And much like Franklin, some might say he's one for [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Tommy Vercetti]]. Appropriately enough, given his close resemblance to Tommy's voice actor, Ray Liotta.
** His bio reads a lot like [[TV/TheSopranos Tony Soprano's]].
* FakingTheDead: Apparently killed by the cops during a past operation with Trevor in North Yankton, Canada. In fact, he was put into Witness Protection by the government and sent off to live in Los Santos, where he and his family had to change their surname from "Townley" to "de Santa".
* [[spoiler:FatalFamilyPhoto]]: The "Kill [[spoiler:Mike]]" ending hammers this home with a phone call from Amanda: Their daughter got accepted into college. Mike is elated at the prospect of reuniting his family. Franklin, who is preparing to [[spoiler:dispose of Mike]], keeps his game face on but has trouble hiding his guilt.
* GoodIsBoring: Although the initial cause of his troubles is due to a mistake with a cartel, he really does want to return to a life of crime. May cross over with BeingGoodSucks seeing how his family life has gone down the tubes during his "retirement".
* InHarmsWay: Dr. Friedlander diagnoses him with an outright addiction to chaos.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: If the player chooses Option B.]]
* TheMentor: To Franklin.
* MisBlamed: [[invoked]] Amanda blames their failing marriage on his criminal activities; however, it was falling apart long before he got back into the game.
* TheMovieBuff: Up to the point of basing an armored car robbery [[SawItInAMovieOnce off a scene he saw in a movie]].
* OneManArmy: His special ability is bullet time similar to ''Max Payne''.
* OhCrap: His reaction when he realized that he ended up offending Martin Madrazo and his cartel (and saddled with a $2.5 million debt) by destroying one of their houses, where the tennis instructor whom Amanda cheated on him with hid, and later when Trevor tracks him down on his house.
* PapaWolf: He might not be on good terms with his children, but the ''moment'' he finds they're in danger, or potential danger, he leaps into action.
* ParentalNeglect: He has a hard time understanding his kids, and therefore he often leaves them to their own devices.
* RetiredOutlaw: Again, initially.
* SawItInAMovieOnce: A small heist mission entitled "Blitz Play", which is based off of ''{{Film/Heat}}'', has him saying he got the idea for it from a movie.
* SharpDressedMan: In contrast to the more casual Franklin and the extremely casual Trevor.
* SmokingIsCool: When switching to Michael, he can often be seen smoking a cigarette before the player takes control.
* TheStoolPigeon: His situation in exchange for the FIB's protection.
* TakeMyHand: During their last standoff in the "Kill [[spoiler:Mike]] ending, Mike's scuffle with Franklin sends him toppling over the rail. Franklin appears to relent and tries pulling Mike up from the scaffold. [[spoiler:He still plummets to his death]].
* VictoryIsBoring: Rockstar describes him as a GTA protagonist a few years after "winning" the game.
* VillainProtagonist: He is a career criminal after all.
* YourCheatingHeart: Is cheating on his wife.
* WhyAreYouNotMySon: Feels this way toward Franklin.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Used to work together with Trevor before his apparent death, only to be reunited after pulling a heist that gets TV coverage.
* WitnessProtection: Currently under the FIB's aegis in exchange for his cooperation.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Trevor_tvtropes_9447.jpg
->"[[AnEntrepreneurIsYou The guns and crank in this area [Blaine County] go through Trevor Phillips Enterprise]], or they ain't going!"
->'''Voiced by:''' Steven Ogg
A former airman, career criminal, and Michael's old best friend and partner in crime, now a sociopathic drug addict living in a trailer park full of meth heads and biker gangs by the Alamo Sea (based on the real-life Salton Sea) in Blaine County.
----
* AcePilot: The team's designated pilot.
* AnythingThatMoves: Not only does he frequently make sexual passes at people (regardless of gender), but he even carves holes into Floyd's teddy bear so he can have sex with it. [[spoiler:Sometimes, should the player jump to Trevor, he can be seen getting out of bed with Floyd, who is curled into a fetal position and crying.]]
** If he gets a double dance at the Vanilla Unicorn, he'll comment "If only we had another guy join us. That would be a real party."
* AxCrazy: Even when ''not'' under the player's control, he can still be seen roaming around and killing people, such as the Los Santos chapter of The Lost MC.
* {{Badass}}: Dude takes out two chapters of The Lost ''by himself''.
* [[BaldOfEvil Balding of Evil]]: Most of his hairstyles don't cover that bald spot.
* TheBerserker: It's hard to imagine Trevor ''not'' being a combat maniac.
* BerserkButton:
** Whenever someone threatens his company or crew, the results are truly horrifying.
** Don't threaten Michael's family either.
** He ''seriously'' hates being called a hipster.
*** And if there's one thing he hates more than that, it's being called a motherfucker. All of the rampage missions start with someone making that mistake.
** Actually, he pretty much has a HairTriggerTemper, meaning there are probably too many {{Berserk Button}}s to count.
* BloodKnight: He loves violence and chaos. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Does he remind you of someone?]]
* TheBrute: Picking a fight with Trevor is going to result in someone having a ''very'' bad day. [[spoiler:Unless you're Michael or Franklin]].
* BunnyEarsLawyer: If the fact that he isn't utterly batshit insane hasn't been established yet, here's another reminder. That said, he's still an extremely efficient thief, surprisingly insightful, and despite their obvious issues, a loyal friend to Michael.
* CanadaEh: He is actually Canadian. Then again, according to himself, he grew up so close to the border that he might have actually been born in the US.
-->"'ABOOT'?! I DON'T EVEN SOUND THAT CANADIAN!"
** Merges a bit with InkSuitActor, since Steven Ogg himself is Canadian.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Aside from his AxCrazy behavior, he's just plain weird.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Seen inflicting it with electrodes in his trailer.
** Hilariously, and horrifyingly, he fully admits that the TortureAlwaysWorks trope is a crock of shit; he believes it's useless as a means of gathering information. [[ForTheEvulz But it's a damn good way to keep yourself entertained for an afternoon.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: When not being psychotically violent, he's got a surprisingly dry and acerbic wit.
* DeathSeeker: Implied. He has a tattoo of a dotted line on his neck with the words "Cut Here."
* DepravedBisexual: It's pretty clear that Trevor just ''doesn't care'' who he screws. Woman, man, teddy bear, he'll do it.
* DespairEventHorizon: Michael's ([[FakingTheDead faked]]) death seems to have been this for him, as evidenced by his attitude and "RIP Michael" tattoo.
* TheDreaded: Michael is, at least initially, terrified of him and the chaos he may/will cause. Michael (rather accurately) describes him to Franklin as "Hell walking on Earth."
* DirtyOldMan: Age has certainly not dulled his libido.
* EqualOpportunityEvil[=/=]HatesEveryoneEqually: For an AxCrazy, drug-addicted, murderous psychopath who operates in racist redneck towns, he's remarkably fair-minded, until he decides to murder you in a horrible way.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Trevor loves his mother enough to steal a van full of delutoral for her just because she asks him to... She also refused to let him back into his trailer until then. Either way, it can't be argued that he dotes on her... [[spoiler: Which makes it all the more sad when, after he brings the van back to the trailer, he runs in and calls out for her while he searches all of the rooms. When it's clear that she's nowhere in the house, he falls to the ground screaming with his hands on his head.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Believe it or not, he does. The most noticeable example is bigotry, as he is EqualOpportunityEvil.
* {{Expy}}: He bears a few similarities to [[KaneAndLynch James Lynch]].
** [[PrisonBreak Theodore Bagwell]], anyone?
** He would get along with [[{{Film/Red}} Marvin Boggs]] just fine.
* FreudianExcuse: Seems to have turned to drugs and become addicted to them (thereby developing his AxCrazy behavior) due to his hard childhood. In one of the trailers this exchange occurs:
-->'''Michael:''' "What is wrong with you?"\\
'''Trevor:''' "Abandonment issues. I see a shrink once a week."
** Then again, [[DissonantSerenity the cheerful way he quips it]] implies he's being a DeadpanSnarker, (complete with a dig at Michael needing a psychologist) ...or [[StepfordSmiler even crazier than usual]].
** He also remarks that his father "wasn't very nice to him."
** Dialogue from his MushroomSamba implies that [[spoiler:he was molested by a clown when he was a child.]]
* FriendshipMoment: In the intro, he refuses to leave the injured Michael behind to the mercy of the police, despite being heavily outnumbered. Michael has to repeatedly beg him to run and save himself before Trevor finally agrees to do it.
* GeniusBruiser: Don't let his looks fool you -- the most dangerous thing about Trevor isn't his military training or psychosis: it's his intellect and charisma, a fact that becomes evident within the first twenty minutes of playing as him.
** One notable example occurs when he accompanies Franklin and Lamar to buy bricks of cocaine. Even though Lamar tries a sample from one end of a brick, Trevor is savvy enough to ask for a sample from the opposite end and becomes suspicious when the seller refuses. Unsurprisingly, what was supposed to be a kilogram of coke turns out to be closer to an ounce.
* GoodScarsEvilScars
* HairTriggerTemper: The triggers themselves are often hilarious.
* HonoraryUncle: To Michael's kids. They seem to actually like him and in turn he's quite protective of them.
* HotBlooded: The most energetic of the trio.
* ItAmusedMe: Pretty much his MO.
* {{Jerkass}}
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]] / ManOnFire: In the "Kill [[spoiler:Trevor]] ending, he [[spoiler:crashes his truck into a gasoline tanker]], which is ignited by Franklin's pistol. Mike bitterly comments on this being [[spoiler:a fitting end]].
* KickTheDog: When he viciously kills [[spoiler:Johnny Klebitz, and the rest of the Lost MC]].
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: If the player chooses Option A.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Has his moments. Where else can you see a man butchering people one day, then found lying on the beach half-naked and stoned out of his wits the next?
* LikesOlderWomen: Patricia, who's ''57.''
* LimitBreak: His special ability activates a "Frenzy" mode, where he deals double damage and receives half as much.
* MoralityPet: Patricia Madrazo, wife of ruthless Cartel boss Martin Madrazo. Despite his original intent to kidnap her and use her as leverage because Martin refused to pay him, ''the two genuinely ended up bonding.'' [[spoiler:Given how abusive Martin is with her, she likely loves him.]]
* OneManArmy: His frenzy mode is a reflection of this.
** He also is the character who gets the traditional rampages.
** Most gangs in the franchise follow a typical structure of a boss leading a handful of captains, who in turn lead dozens of soldiers. Trevor Philips Enterprises only has one soldier: Trevor.
* OddFriendship: With Lamar. They are genuinely fond of each other.
* ThePigPen: Personal hygiene is not high on his list of priorities. His most frequent outfit is a filthy white v-neck t-shirt, an equally grubby pair of either gray sweatpants or jeans, and a pair of well-worn hiking boots.
* PetTheDog: Despite his insanity and immorality, he seems to genuinely care for Michael's children, or at least Tracey. He is infuriated when he learns that a television show plans to embarrass her in front of the nation, and she even seems happy to see him! [[spoiler:He even drives off Mr. K -- the guy he ''viciously'' tortured minutes earlier on Steve's orders -- to the airport, instead of killing him as Steve wanted, urging him to leave Los Santos for good.]]
* {{Sadist}}
* TheSociopath: And loving it.
* TeachHimAnger: A lot of the time he antagonizes Michael and Franklin simply to get them to show some backbone. This is ''only'' the case with Mike and Frank, however. Anyone else who stands up to him will be beaten down. [[spoiler: Poor Floyd and Rebecca.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: While Michael and Franklin seem more like {{Anti Villain}}s, Trevor is an unrepentant psycho.
* UnflinchingWalk: Does this away from an exploding house.
* VillainProtagonist: As if it wasn't obvious enough.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: To Michael, whom he thought was dead for 9 years, at least until they reunite at the start of the game.
* YouBastard: WordOfGod confirms that Trevor is, essentially, the [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential average]] ''Grand Theft Auto'' player ''incarnate'', with all the unpleasant characteristics that would come with such a person in real life.
** Likely invoked in ''[[EstablishingCharacterMoment the very first instance we see him]]'', where he's revealed to have [[spoiler: [[TheCorrupter turned Johnny Klebitz into a strung out meth-head]], [[YourCheatingHeart was screwing Ashley senseless when Johnny wasn't looking]], [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown stomped Johnny's head to paste]] when [[WhatTheHellHero he dared to call Trevor out]], and then uses his death as an excuse [[OmnicidalManiac to wipe out the rest of the Lost MC]].]]

** BadassDriver: Has the best driving skill of the three protagonists, and has a special ability for cars.
** BadassBiker: Frequently seen riding a dirtbike.

* CatchPhrase: The word "What?!", mostly {{FlatWhat}}s.
* CoolPet[=/=]RightHandAttackDog: Chop. Technically, he's Lamar's dog, but Franklin often borrows him for repo jobs in case the vehicles' owners are uncooperative.
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when it comes Lamar's {{Get Rich Quick Scheme}}s, Jimmy's PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy attitude, and his aunt's outlandish attempts to get in touch with her femininity.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Although Franklin's possibly not ''that'' much of a nice guy, this is his relationship with Tenisha.
* {{Expy}}: A black gang banger whose friends give him crap for leaving the gang for supposedly selfish reasons? Are we talking about Franklin or [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas Carl Johnson]]?

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Michael_tvtropes_8496.jpg
->"[[CatchPhrase You forget a thousand things every day.]] [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Make sure this is one of them.]]"
->'''Voiced by:''' Ned Luke
A middle-aged ex-robber currently retired and under the [[{{FBI}} FIB's]] WitnessProtection, living in a posh mansion in Rockford Hills (the game's equivalent of Beverly Hills) with his dysfunctional family -- disrespectful daughter Tracy, lazy son Jimmy, and spendthrift wife Amanda, whose habits force him to return to a life of crime. Or at least, that's what he says; in truth, Michael is bored and frustrated by his domestic life, his only outlets being [[TheAlcoholic whiskey]], watching old Vinewood action movies, and trips to his therapist. He serves as the "brains" and leader of the gang, and is described as a "smooth operator".
----
* TheAlcoholic: Out of boredom and his depressing family life.
* AwfulWeddedLife: To Amanda, with whom he trades curses and screams.
* {{Badass}}
** BadassInANiceSuit: Due to his more affluent lifestyle compared to the other protagonists.
** RetiredBadass: Initially.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Subverted. He claims to come out of retirement because he doesn't have any talents except bank robbery but really he's only making excuses to jump back into the game so he doesn't have to put up with his fractured and mundane domestic life.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't really mind Amanda's cheating -- in fact, he also cheats on her quite frequently, and both are pretty honest about the fact that their marriage had ran its course. What ''does'' rile him up, however, is the fact that she had to cheat on him in ''their'' house, on ''their'' bed, with a guy ''he is paying to spend time with her''.
-->"If I have to use a motel, she has to use a motel!"
* BulletTime: His special ability, ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'' style.
* CatchPhrase: Turns out it isn't a great idea for a career criminal to have a signature catchphrase, but Michael can't resist, seen above.
* ChronicVillainy: He is bored by civilian life and cannot come to terms with it, and therefore uses Amanda's spendthrift lifestyle as an excuse for him to return to a life of crime.
* ClimbingClimax: The "Kill [[spoiler:Mike]]" ending concludes with Franklin pursuing Mike up an industrial catwalk, trading gunfire and accusations. Mike eventually [[spoiler:topples over the edge and dies]].
* {{Cuckold}}: His wife constantly cheats on him with any man she can, though Michael is just as bad with his girlfriends.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DisproportionateRetribution: He catches Amanda's tennis instructor in bed with her. So he chases him down and tears down his house. [[FromBadToWorse Except it wasn't his house]].
* {{Expy}}: To Neil [=McCauley=] of ''Film/{{Heat}}'' as well as his actor, RobertDeNiro.
** And much like Franklin, some might say he's one for [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Tommy Vercetti]]. Appropriately enough, given his close resemblance to Tommy's voice actor, Ray Liotta.
** His bio reads a lot like [[TV/TheSopranos Tony Soprano's]].
* FakingTheDead: Apparently killed by the cops during a past operation with Trevor in North Yankton, Canada. In fact, he was put into Witness Protection by the government and sent off to live in Los Santos, where he and his family had to change their surname from "Townley" to "de Santa".
* [[spoiler:FatalFamilyPhoto]]: The "Kill [[spoiler:Mike]]" ending hammers this home with a phone call from Amanda: Their daughter got accepted into college. Mike is elated at the prospect of reuniting his family. Franklin, who is preparing to [[spoiler:dispose of Mike]], keeps his game face on but has trouble hiding his guilt.
* GoodIsBoring: Although the initial cause of his troubles is due to a mistake with a cartel, he really does want to return to a life of crime. May cross over with BeingGoodSucks seeing how his family life has gone down the tubes during his "retirement".
* InHarmsWay: Dr. Friedlander diagnoses him with an outright addiction to chaos.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: If the player chooses Option B.]]
* TheMentor: To Franklin.
* MisBlamed: [[invoked]] Amanda blames their failing marriage on his criminal activities; however, it was falling apart long before he got back into the game.
* TheMovieBuff: Up to the point of basing an armored car robbery [[SawItInAMovieOnce off a scene he saw in a movie]].
* OneManArmy: His special ability is bullet time similar to ''Max Payne''.
* OhCrap: His reaction when he realized that he ended up offending Martin Madrazo and his cartel (and saddled with a $2.5 million debt) by destroying one of their houses, where the tennis instructor whom Amanda cheated on him with hid, and later when Trevor tracks him down on his house.
* PapaWolf: He might not be on good terms with his children, but the ''moment'' he finds they're in danger, or potential danger, he leaps into action.
* ParentalNeglect: He has a hard time understanding his kids, and therefore he often leaves them to their own devices.
* RetiredOutlaw: Again, initially.
* SawItInAMovieOnce: A small heist mission entitled "Blitz Play", which is based off of ''{{Film/Heat}}'', has him saying he got the idea for it from a movie.
* SharpDressedMan: In contrast to the more casual Franklin and the extremely casual Trevor.
* SmokingIsCool: When switching to Michael, he can often be seen smoking a cigarette before the player takes control.
* TheStoolPigeon: His situation in exchange for the FIB's protection.
* TakeMyHand: During their last standoff in the "Kill [[spoiler:Mike]] ending, Mike's scuffle with Franklin sends him toppling over the rail. Franklin appears to relent and tries pulling Mike up from the scaffold. [[spoiler:He still plummets to his death]].
* VictoryIsBoring: Rockstar describes him as a GTA protagonist a few years after "winning" the game.
* VillainProtagonist: He is a career criminal after all.
* YourCheatingHeart: Is cheating on his wife.
* WhyAreYouNotMySon: Feels this way toward Franklin.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Used to work together with Trevor before his apparent death, only to be reunited after pulling a heist that gets TV coverage.
* WitnessProtection: Currently under the FIB's aegis in exchange for his cooperation.

[[folder:Trevor Phillips]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Trevor_tvtropes_9447.jpg
->"[[AnEntrepreneurIsYou The guns and crank in this area [Blaine County] go through Trevor Phillips Enterprise]], or they ain't going!"
->'''Voiced by:''' Steven Ogg
A former airman, career criminal, and Michael's old best friend and partner in crime, now a sociopathic drug addict living in a trailer park full of meth heads and biker gangs by the Alamo Sea (based on the real-life Salton Sea) in Blaine County.
----
* AcePilot: The team's designated pilot.
* AnythingThatMoves: Not only does he frequently make sexual passes at people (regardless of gender), but he even carves holes into Floyd's teddy bear so he can have sex with it. [[spoiler:Sometimes, should the player jump to Trevor, he can be seen getting out of bed with Floyd, who is curled into a fetal position and crying.]]
** If he gets a double dance at the Vanilla Unicorn, he'll comment "If only we had another guy join us. That would be a real party."
* AxCrazy: Even when ''not'' under the player's control, he can still be seen roaming around and killing people, such as the Los Santos chapter of The Lost MC.
* {{Badass}}: Dude takes out two chapters of The Lost ''by himself''.
* [[BaldOfEvil Balding of Evil]]: Most of his hairstyles don't cover that bald spot.
* TheBerserker: It's hard to imagine Trevor ''not'' being a combat maniac.
* BerserkButton:
** Whenever someone threatens his company or crew, the results are truly horrifying.
** Don't threaten Michael's family either.
** He ''seriously'' hates being called a hipster.
*** And if there's one thing he hates more than that, it's being called a motherfucker. All of the rampage missions start with someone making that mistake.
** Actually, he pretty much has a HairTriggerTemper, meaning there are probably too many {{Berserk Button}}s to count.
* BloodKnight: He loves violence and chaos. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Does he remind you of someone?]]
* TheBrute: Picking a fight with Trevor is going to result in someone having a ''very'' bad day. [[spoiler:Unless you're Michael or Franklin]].
* BunnyEarsLawyer: If the fact that he isn't utterly batshit insane hasn't been established yet, here's another reminder. That said, he's still an extremely efficient thief, surprisingly insightful, and despite their obvious issues, a loyal friend to Michael.
* CanadaEh: He is actually Canadian. Then again, according to himself, he grew up so close to the border that he might have actually been born in the US.
-->"'ABOOT'?! I DON'T EVEN SOUND THAT CANADIAN!"
** Merges a bit with InkSuitActor, since Steven Ogg himself is Canadian.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Aside from his AxCrazy behavior, he's just plain weird.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Seen inflicting it with electrodes in his trailer.
** Hilariously, and horrifyingly, he fully admits that the TortureAlwaysWorks trope is a crock of shit; he believes it's useless as a means of gathering information. [[ForTheEvulz But it's a damn good way to keep yourself entertained for an afternoon.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: When not being psychotically violent, he's got a surprisingly dry and acerbic wit.
* DeathSeeker: Implied. He has a tattoo of a dotted line on his neck with the words "Cut Here."
* DepravedBisexual: It's pretty clear that Trevor just ''doesn't care'' who he screws. Woman, man, teddy bear, he'll do it.
* DespairEventHorizon: Michael's ([[FakingTheDead faked]]) death seems to have been this for him, as evidenced by his attitude and "RIP Michael" tattoo.
* TheDreaded: Michael is, at least initially, terrified of him and the chaos he may/will cause. Michael (rather accurately) describes him to Franklin as "Hell walking on Earth."
* DirtyOldMan: Age has certainly not dulled his libido.
* EqualOpportunityEvil[=/=]HatesEveryoneEqually: For an AxCrazy, drug-addicted, murderous psychopath who operates in racist redneck towns, he's remarkably fair-minded, until he decides to murder you in a horrible way.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Trevor loves his mother enough to steal a van full of delutoral for her just because she asks him to... She also refused to let him back into his trailer until then. Either way, it can't be argued that he dotes on her... [[spoiler: Which makes it all the more sad when, after he brings the van back to the trailer, he runs in and calls out for her while he searches all of the rooms. When it's clear that she's nowhere in the house, he falls to the ground screaming with his hands on his head.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Believe it or not, he does. The most noticeable example is bigotry, as he is EqualOpportunityEvil.
* {{Expy}}: He bears a few similarities to [[KaneAndLynch James Lynch]].
** [[PrisonBreak Theodore Bagwell]], anyone?
** He would get along with [[{{Film/Red}} Marvin Boggs]] just fine.
* FreudianExcuse: Seems to have turned to drugs and become addicted to them (thereby developing his AxCrazy behavior) due to his hard childhood. In one of the trailers this exchange occurs:
-->'''Michael:''' "What is wrong with you?"\\
'''Trevor:''' "Abandonment issues. I see a shrink once a week."
** Then again, [[DissonantSerenity the cheerful way he quips it]] implies he's being a DeadpanSnarker, (complete with a dig at Michael needing a psychologist) ...or [[StepfordSmiler even crazier than usual]].
** He also remarks that his father "wasn't very nice to him."
** Dialogue from his MushroomSamba implies that [[spoiler:he was molested by a clown when he was a child.]]
* FriendshipMoment: In the intro, he refuses to leave the injured Michael behind to the mercy of the police, despite being heavily outnumbered. Michael has to repeatedly beg him to run and save himself before Trevor finally agrees to do it.
* GeniusBruiser: Don't let his looks fool you -- the most dangerous thing about Trevor isn't his military training or psychosis: it's his intellect and charisma, a fact that becomes evident within the first twenty minutes of playing as him.
** One notable example occurs when he accompanies Franklin and Lamar to buy bricks of cocaine. Even though Lamar tries a sample from one end of a brick, Trevor is savvy enough to ask for a sample from the opposite end and becomes suspicious when the seller refuses. Unsurprisingly, what was supposed to be a kilogram of coke turns out to be closer to an ounce.
* GoodScarsEvilScars
* HairTriggerTemper: The triggers themselves are often hilarious.
* HonoraryUncle: To Michael's kids. They seem to actually like him and in turn he's quite protective of them.
* HotBlooded: The most energetic of the trio.
* ItAmusedMe: Pretty much his MO.
* {{Jerkass}}
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]] / ManOnFire: In the "Kill [[spoiler:Trevor]] ending, he [[spoiler:crashes his truck into a gasoline tanker]], which is ignited by Franklin's pistol. Mike bitterly comments on this being [[spoiler:a fitting end]].
* KickTheDog: When he viciously kills [[spoiler:Johnny Klebitz, and the rest of the Lost MC]].
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: If the player chooses Option A.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Has his moments. Where else can you see a man butchering people one day, then found lying on the beach half-naked and stoned out of his wits the next?
* LikesOlderWomen: Patricia, who's ''57.''
* LimitBreak: His special ability activates a "Frenzy" mode, where he deals double damage and receives half as much.
* MoralityPet: Patricia Madrazo, wife of ruthless Cartel boss Martin Madrazo. Despite his original intent to kidnap her and use her as leverage because Martin refused to pay him, ''the two genuinely ended up bonding.'' [[spoiler:Given how abusive Martin is with her, she likely loves him.]]
* OneManArmy: His frenzy mode is a reflection of this.
** He also is the character who gets the traditional rampages.
** Most gangs in the franchise follow a typical structure of a boss leading a handful of captains, who in turn lead dozens of soldiers. Trevor Philips Enterprises only has one soldier: Trevor.
* OddFriendship: With Lamar. They are genuinely fond of each other.
* ThePigPen: Personal hygiene is not high on his list of priorities. His most frequent outfit is a filthy white v-neck t-shirt, an equally grubby pair of either gray sweatpants or jeans, and a pair of well-worn hiking boots.
* PetTheDog: Despite his insanity and immorality, he seems to genuinely care for Michael's children, or at least Tracey. He is infuriated when he learns that a television show plans to embarrass her in front of the nation, and she even seems happy to see him! [[spoiler:He even drives off Mr. K -- the guy he ''viciously'' tortured minutes earlier on Steve's orders -- to the airport, instead of killing him as Steve wanted, urging him to leave Los Santos for good.]]
* {{Sadist}}
* TheSociopath: And loving it.
* TeachHimAnger: A lot of the time he antagonizes Michael and Franklin simply to get them to show some backbone. This is ''only'' the case with Mike and Frank, however. Anyone else who stands up to him will be beaten down. [[spoiler: Poor Floyd and Rebecca.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: While Michael and Franklin seem more like {{Anti Villain}}s, Trevor is an unrepentant psycho.
* UnflinchingWalk: Does this away from an exploding house.
* VillainProtagonist: As if it wasn't obvious enough.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: To Michael, whom he thought was dead for 9 years, at least until they reunite at the start of the game.
* YouBastard: WordOfGod confirms that Trevor is, essentially, the [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential average]] ''Grand Theft Auto'' player ''incarnate'', with all the unpleasant characteristics that would come with such a person in real life.
** Likely invoked in ''[[EstablishingCharacterMoment the very first instance we see him]]'', where he's revealed to have [[spoiler: [[TheCorrupter turned Johnny Klebitz into a strung out meth-head]], [[YourCheatingHeart was screwing Ashley senseless when Johnny wasn't looking]], [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown stomped Johnny's head to paste]] when [[WhatTheHellHero he dared to call Trevor out]], and then uses his death as an excuse [[OmnicidalManiac to wipe out the rest of the Lost MC]].]]

An ex-gang banger from South Los Santos who yearns to leave the lifestyle he deems destructive -- by working as a repo man for Premium Deluxe Motorsport in Vespucci Beach (the equivalent of Venice Beach).
----
* AffablyEvil: He's a pretty likable guy as long as you aren't an idiot, {{Jerkass}}, enemy, or a combination of the three.

* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when it comes Lamar's {{Get Rich Quick Scheme}}s, Jimmy's PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy attitude, and his aunt's outlandish attempts to get in touch with her femininity.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Although Franklin's possibly not ''that'' much of a nice guy, this is his relationship with Tenisha.
* {{Expy}}: A black gang banger whose friends give him crap for leaving the gang for supposedly selfish reasons? Are we talking about Franklin or [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas Carl Johnson]]?
