'''Trevor Philips''' is a [[Canada|Canadian]] character in the [[HD Universe]] who appears as one of the [[protagonist]]s in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] and as a main character in [[Grand Theft Auto Online]]. He is voiced by [[Steven Ogg]].

Trevor Philips was born in [[1965]] to [[Mrs. Philips]] and an unnamed father in [[Canada]], close to the [[United States of America|American]] border. His father was a customer at a brothel that his mother had worked at in the 60s, and it is assumed his brother [[Ryan Philips|Ryan]], came from the same situation. The boys were "raised" by their physically and sexually abusive "fathers" and overbearing mother in trailer parks and brothels. Trevor claims he never had a father, and he doesn't classify any of the eight men who took on the short-lived roles of "daddy" as actual father figures. The boys (or at least just Trevor) had also been forced into small rooms and crawlspaces as children as punishment. His brother Ryan died at an unknown time and in unclear circumstances. He tells [[Wade Hebert]] during the mission [[Friends Reunited]], that he sodomized his hockey coach with a hockey stick when he didn't make the team. He was also in a tennis club as a child, stating to [[Michael De Santa|Michael Townley]] during [[Tennis|tennis]] that they may have been in the same class. 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, this may be the first man that Trevor assumed was his biological father.

Trevor took up [[hunting]] in his young adulthood, mainly hunting [[Animals in GTA V|deer]] and foxes. 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.  

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.  

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.

Between the early 90s and early years of the 21st century, most of their crew members were either killed, or imprisoned, with the only named exception being Moses having found Jesus according to Lester.

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".

After the botched robbery Trevor became the subject of a nationwide manhunt, traveling across America, committing crimes spanning over fifteen different states for the next eight years, and at some point before [[2011]] 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. Around this point Trevor starts gaining customers such as [[Larry Tupper]], [[Johnny Klebitz]] and members of [[The Lost Brotherhood]], and members of the [[Varrios Los Aztecas]]. It is assumed he and Chef may have been cooking out of an RV or a smaller confined space before their business took off.

After the Cash for Gold incident, Trevor upgrades his meth business and purchases a large amount of glassware and the [[Liquor Ace]] store in Sandy Shores and establishes [[Trevor Philips Industries (gang)|Trevor Philips Industries]] in [[2012]], 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. 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 taken to [[Davis Quartz]] Quarry and are 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.

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 finally coming to terms with their past. Trevor later meets his [[Mrs. Philips|mother]] at his trailer and steals a van of [[Deludamol]] for her but, after returning to his trailer, discovers that his mother has left without informing him.

The game reveals that Trevor has become increasingly unstable throughout his life, partly due to his abusive father and overbearing mother, and partly from his addiction to drugs and alcohol. Despite these issues, he is always honest with his dealings with others. Trevor frequently points out the hypocrisy of those around him, believing himself to be a moral person. He encourages rumours that he has been involved in acts of [[:wp:Cannibalism|cannibalism]], [[:wp:Incest|incest]] and [[:wp:Necrophilia|necrophilia]], while it is also suggested that he has sodomised his hockey coach and raped Floyd Hebert. The player can, on certain occasions, also have Trevor deliver people to [[The Altruists]], which is implied to consist of cannibalistic killers, which Trevor knows. He has explosive anger, such as when he killed Johnny, and does not always realise the extent of his actions, having told Johnny to "get up" after he had killed him.

Trevor appears to be a hypersexualized pansexual, or at the very least, bisexual. He makes frequent sexual passes at others - he is also implied to have raped [[Floyd Hebert]], and use [[Mr. Raspberry Jam]] as a sex toy. His relationship status on [[Lifeinvader]] also states 'Any hole's a goal'.

;During the events of GTA V

Trevor's [[Special Abilities|special ability]] is to become enraged, resulting in him taking less damage while being attacked.
