'''Phil Cassidy''' is a bitter war veteran featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and [[Grand Theft Auto III]], chronologically.
In all appearances, Phil is featured as a heavy artillery arms dealer, selling the [[protagonist]] military-style weaponry which can devastate easily, such as [[Grenade]]s, [[Rocket Launcher]]s, [[Minigun]]s, etc. He claims to have served in the military; however, it is been revealed that he was never in the army. One of Phil's most notable features is his one arm - in ''GTA III'' he claims to have lost it in Nicaragua, but ''GTA Vice City'' reveals that he lost it in a pyrotechnics accident while drunk.


'''Phillip "Phil" Cassidy''' is a bitter war veteran featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and [[Grand Theft Auto III]], chronologically.
== Role ==


In all appearances, Phil is featured as a heavy artillery arms dealer, selling the [[protagonist]] military-style weaponry which can devastate easily, such as [[Grenade]]s, [[Rocket Launcher]]s, [[Minigun]]s, etc. He claims to have served in the military; however, it is been revealed that he was never in the army. He was been turned down many times due to his bad temper and heavy drinking.
=== Before 1984 ===


Phil is been featured as a heavy drinker. He distills his own alcohol, a dangerous and highly explosive drink known as "[[Boomshine]]" which Phil started distilling and selling in Vice City around 1984. Phil says during a phone conversation with [[Tommy Vercetti]] that due to his heavy Boomshine drinking, he is blind in his left eye.
Phil claims to have been in the army and fought in [[wp:Vietnam War|Vietnam]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua#Sandinistas_and_the_Contras| Nicaragua] before being discharged sometime around 1983-84. However, he was frequently rejected because of drunkenness and temperament, and when interviewed by [[Jenny Mitchell]] he admits he was dishonorably discharged from the catering corps (as seen on the ''Vice City Stories'' website). [[Ray Machowski]] claims Phil is his "army buddy" from Nicaragua, though Ray likely met him via the catering corps.


One of Phil's most notable features is his one arm. In his appearance during ''GTA Vice City Stories'' and ''GTA Vice City'', he still has both arms, but in the last mission that he appears in during ''GTA Vice City'', a bomb goes off next to him and his arm is blown off. In ''GTA Liberty City Stories'' and ''GTA III'', Phil obviously has only one arm.

In his next appearance, [[Tommy Vercetti]] hires Phil to pull off a bank robbery in the mission [[The Shootist]]. Phil is the one who suggests Tommy should employ [[Hillary King]] as a getaway driver in the mission [[The Driver]]. After the robbery ([[The Job]]), Phil invites Tommy to work for him in order to get been fixed with firepower. After Tommy kills Phil's rival gun dealer [[Pedro Garcia]], a drunken Phil invites Tommy over to check out a Boomshine bomb he had set up, wired to a remote detonator. The remote doesn't work the first time, so Phil changes its batteries for fresh ones sitting beside the bomb. Now standing one meter away from the powerful explosive, in inebriated carelessness, he accidently squeezes the remote's trigger, detonating the bomb and blowing off his own arm. Tommy drives Phil to an ex-army surgeon to be patched up.

In the mission [[Arms Shortage]], corrupt [[LCPD in GTA III Era|LCPD]] cop [[Ray Machowski]] commissions [[Claude]] to go and meet Phil at his shop, since some members of the [[Colombian Cartel]] tried to extort weapons out of Phil. Phil and Claude attack the Cartel men as they arrive and kill them, preventing them from stealing Phil's weapons. During this mission, Phil claims to have lost his arm in Nicaragua, but it is been revealed later in ''GTA Vice City'' that his arm was blown off in a boomshine bomb explosion.

*In [[Boomshine Saigon]], it clearly shows Phil blowing off his ''right'' arm, not his left arm. This is likely simply a mistake in the creation of the cut scene, where they had Phil standing with the bomb to his right, rather than standing on the other side of the bench, with the bomb to his left. Successfully delivering Phil to his friend's place shows Phil correctly, missing his left arm and still having his right.

*In Vice City, Phil's mobile home can be entered. Gun Racks displaying several handguns, submachine guns and rifles are on the wall. When his bedroom is entered, his bed consists of a camouflaged mattress and an American Flag styled pillow.
*In Rockstar's [[Manhunt]], one of the cops will sometimes say "I promised my little boy I would take him to Cassidy’s Bargain Firearms Emporium tomorrow", suggesting that Phil also has a business in [[Carcer City]].
