==Character history==
Trevor Philips was born in [[1965]] to [[Mrs. Philips]] and an unnamed father in [[Canada]], close to the [[United States of America|American]] border, and was, with his brother [[Ryan Philips|Ryan]], raised by his physically abusive father and overbearing mother. His brother Ryan died at an unknown time and in unclear circumstances. He implies, during the events of [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]], that he sodomized his hockey coach with a hockey stick when he didn't make the team. He also developed a [[:wp:Coulrophobia|fear of clowns]] as a child. He claims that his father abandoned him in a shopping mall and that he later burned the mall down, that he swallowed a nose ring during the 1990s and that he was once the Canadian under-eighteen [[Golf|golfing]] champion and that he almost turned professional. At one point during his childhood or adolescence Trevor has slept with his own mother for unknown reasons. Trevor mentions during a hangout with [[Franklin Clinton]] that he's lived in two countries, fifteen states, had eight fathers, fourteen homes, a ''damaged flower of a mother'', and has committed every mortal sin. Trevor later joined the [[military]] and flew jets in the hope of dropping "the nuke" but was discharged due to his mental instability.


He began committing petty crimes before meeting [[Michael De Santa|Michael Townley]] when they were twenty in [[1985]] after being recommended to Michael. Trevor joined him in escorting cargo across the Canadian/American border. Michael arrived to their meeting point being chased by an older man, presumably their employer, and to end the argument Trevor shot the man in the eye with a flare gun. The two then disposed of the body, and their relationship was soon cemented. He and Michael continued to work together and later robbed a bank for cashed cheques. Trevor, however, was identified by a friend and was sentenced to six months in prison but served only four months. He later implies to [[Ralph Ostrowski]] that he raped men while in prison, although this could be an attempt to convince Ostrowski not to try and escape.
;Childhood and early years


Trevor joined Michael once more and the two began to pull off larger heists. Their friendship began to strain when Michael began to date a stripper with the stage name [[Amanda De Santa|Krystal]]. Michael and Amanda then married and had [[Jimmy De Santa|two]] [[Tracey De Santa|children]], with Michael wanting to take less risks in order to protect his new family while Trevor seemingly takes a liking to the children, who call him uncle.

The two, however, did continue to pull off certain heists and in [[2004]] had planned to rob a bank depot in [[Ludendorff]] with [[Bradley Snider]] and an local unnamed accomplice hired as a driver. The four pull off the robbery but Bradley and Michael are shot by [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#HD Universe|FIB]] agent [[Dave Norton]], who had been tipped off about their escape route by Michael who had looked to escape the FIB ambush. Trevor, after attempting to hold off the police, manages to escape through the snowy wilderness and believes that Bradley had been sent to a federal prison and Michael had died, with a funeral even taking place. Trevor, however, was unaware of Michael's deception and that Bradley had been killed, buried in Michael's grave. At some point after this he acquires a tattoo on his left arm reading "RIP Michael, 1965 - 2004, Brother".
;Late teens, early adult hood
 
Trevor took up [[hunting]] in his young adulthood, mainly hunting [[Animals in GTA V|deer]]. While golfing, Trevor will reminisce that he was once the Canadian under-eighteen [[Golf|golfing]] champion and that he almost turned professional in the early [[1982|'80s]]. At one point during his childhood or adolescence Trevor has slept with his own mother for unknown reasons. Trevor mentions during a hangout with [[Franklin Clinton]] that he's lived in two countries, fifteen states, had eight fathers, fourteen homes, a ''damaged flower of a mother'', and has committed every mortal sin. Trevor later joined the [[military]] and flew jets in the hope of dropping "the nuke" but was discharged due to his mental instability.
 
Around this point in Trevor's life, he became more deeply disturbed, and began murdering [[Hobos|homeless people]], hitchhikers, and drifters for no apparent reason other than the thrill. Possibly motivated by his devastation of not becoming an Air force pilot like he always wanted, and taking large quantities of hard drugs. While drunk, Trevor will state that the ''San An Strangler'' is on the loose, and then mentions that he doesn't strangle anymore. Depending on the area, he may have just attributed his location with ''Strangler'' as his serial killer nickname. Trevor may have had work as a trucker at some point in his early life, as he praises the lifestyle and freedom that truckers have to [[Lamar Davis]], claiming that "truckers are a symbol of this country", and also doesn't deny Lamar's accusation that he -like most truckers- "cut up women and got other dudes to jerk him off". This could mean a lot of his serial killer instinct murders were perpetrated while he worked as a trucker. Either during or after his trucking days, Trevor continuously committed petty crimes.
 
By [[1985]], Trevor had started running his own air freight outfit in [[North Yankton]]. A "tiny operation" as he claims. He used a single [[Beagle]] that he could borrow from an unnamed associate when he needed it. He claims they were just kids so it can be assumed the associate was also in his early twenties. Trevor's associate got word from another man that he needed some hot cargo moved across the Canadian/American border. The job paid well, and Trevor didn't know enough at this point to check references so he joined without hesitation.
 
A few days later while waiting on the runway for one guy and the cargo, he noticed two cars coming instead of the one he was expecting. When the first car entered through, [[Michael De Santa|Michael Townley]] -a man Trevor describes as "...my age, just twenty. Kind of fat, but strong underneath."- hopped out and started running towards Trevor. The second vehicle enters, and an old man stumbles out, continuously yelling and waving his arms, pointing at Michael. Playing "peacemaker, concerned citizen" as Trevor puts it, he intercepts the old man, and shoots a flare gun he had been carrying around off into his eye, killing him.
 
It seems the altercation goes unexplained by Michael as Trevor doesn't state any reasoning behind it. However it can be assumed that Michael stole something from the man, possibly intending on taking the cargo for himself and giving no profit to the employer. Trevor and Michael decided to take the unspecified cargo into [[Canada]], and they bring the body of the old man into the [[Beagle|plane]], dumping him out of a plane into a lake. While in the plane, the flare had still been burning in the mans head, and Trevor states the Beagle never smelt the same again. Upon landing in Canada, both Trevor and Michael vomited when getting out of the plane, Trevor labels it as "quite a baptism." and soon their friendship was cemented.
 
;1990s
 
He and Michael continued to work together and later robbed a bank for cashed cheques sometime after [[1988]]. Trevor, however, was identified by a friend and was sentenced to six months in prison but served only four months. He later implies to [[Ralph Ostrowski]] that he raped men while in prison, although this could be an attempt to convince Ostrowski not to try and escape. When switching to Trevor, sometimes he will be vomiting and claim that he swallowed that nose ring during the 1990s, possibly from snorting drugs.
 
The two ended up gaining a crew, consisting of [[Lester Crest]], a man named [[Moses]] and several other unnamed members, and the crew started pulling larger heists. Their friendship began to strain when Michael began to date a stripper with the stage name [[Amanda De Santa|Krystal]]. Michael and Amanda then married and had [[Jimmy De Santa|two]] [[Tracey De Santa|children]], with Michael wanting to take less risks in order to protect his new family while Trevor seemingly takes a liking to the children, who call him uncle.
 
Between the early 90s and early years of the 21st century, most of their crew members were either killed, or imprisoned, with the exception of Moses having found Jesus according to Lester.
 
;2004
 
The two, however, did continue to pull off certain heists. Eventually meeting [[Bradley Snider]], whom Trevor became friends with. However it became apparent that Michael and Brad didn't get along. At one point Brad suggests cutting Michael out of the crew to Trevor, but Trevor wouldn't have it. It may have been this situation that leads to Trevor somewhat disliking him, as he states later in the game that he may have killed Brad himself at one point.
 
In [[2004]] the crew had planned to rob a bank depot in [[Ludendorff]] with a local unnamed accomplice hired as a driver. The four pull off the robbery but Bradley and Michael are shot by [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#HD Universe|FIB]] agent [[Dave Norton]], who had been tipped off about their escape route by Michael who had looked to escape the FIB ambush. Trevor, after attempting to hold off the police, manages to escape through the snowy wilderness and believes that Bradley had been sent to a federal prison and Michael had died, with a funeral even taking place. Trevor, however, was unaware of Michael's deception and that Bradley had been killed, buried in Michael's grave. At some point after this he acquires a tattoo on his left arm reading "RIP Michael, 1965 - 2004, Brother".
 
;2004 - 2013


After traveling across America, committing crimes spanning over fifteen different states for the next eight years, at some point before [[2012]] Trevor had ended up in a [[Trevor Philips' Trailer|trailer]] in [[Sandy Shores]], [[Blaine County]] in [[San Andreas in GTA V|Southern San Andreas]]. Trevor meets a local man called [[Chef]] (possibly a nickname made by Trevor himself) who can cook methamphetamine, and puts him to the test by having Chef join him in robbing a Cash for Gold man. Trevor ends up murdering the man and his bodyguard and the two bury the bodies in a junkyard.

Trevor ends up murdering the man and his bodyguard and the two bury the bodies in a junkyard.  


After the Cash for Gold incident, Trevor purchases a large amount of glassware and the [[Liquor Ace]] store in Sandy Shores and establishes [[Trevor Philips Industries (gang)|Trevor Philips Industries]], a small criminal gang that manufactures and supplies methamphetamine to the people of [[Blaine County]], with the help of [[Chef]]. He also smuggles weapons to fellow criminal [[Oscar Guzmán]]. Trevor later convinces [[Ron Jakowski]] to divorce his wife and leave his job, moving next door to Trevor and joining his gang and then established links to [[The Lost Brotherhood]] motorcycle gang. In 2012 he and Chef are joined by [[Wade Hebert]]. Wade had been looking for drugs in Sandy Shores before going to a concert for [[Fatal Incursion]] known as a ''"gathering"''  with his friends [[Daisy Bell]] and [[Kush-Chronic]]. The friends were killed by Trevor in an act to keep Wade with him, possibly seeing he was weak and controllable. His movements after the bank robbery in Ludendorff are followed by agent Norton, who writes letters to Trevor pretending to be Bradley in prison.

;Grand Theft Auto V


In early [[2013]] he begins to occasionally have sex with [[Ashley Butler]], a Lost member and girlfriend of [[Johnny Klebitz]], the former leader of the Lost Brotherhood. Trevor then continues to have an [[Protagonist (GTA Online)|associate]], who had formerly been hampering Trevor's gang, work against the Lost Brotherhood and others to re-establish some control of Blaine County. Later in the year while having sex with Ashley, he sees a [[Weazel News]] report about [[The Jewel Store Job|a heist]] at [[Vangelico's Fine Jewelry]] store in [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] and after hearing an eye witnesses account, realises that [[Michael De Santa|Michael Townley]] had been involved. He leaves his trailer and is confronted by Johnny about his sexual relationship with Ashley. Trevor, after losing his temper, kills Johnny and drives to [[Stab City]] where he kills a number of the Lost Brotherhood gang members, including [[Clay Simons]] and [[Terry Thorpe]].

The player is the left to determine the games ending. The player can either [[The Time's Come|kill Michael]] as Franklin, with Trevor ending his friendship with Franklin or to [[Something Sensible|kill Trevor]]. A third option, to [[The Third Way|save both]], results in the trio killing their enemies (Wei Cheng, Stretch, Steve Haines and Devin Weston), with the three agreeing to end their business relationship but maintain their friendship, with Michael and Trevor fianlly coming to terms with their past. Trevor later meets his [[Mrs. Philips|mother]] at his trailer and steals a van of [[Deludomol]] for her but, after returning to his trailer, discovers that his mother has left without informing him.
