Billy Grey was born in 1971.<ref name="GTA IV">''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''</ref> He was introduced to violence and racism at a very young age, by watching news coverage of the [[wp:Vietnam War|Vietnam War]] and/or [[wp:Cultural Revolution|Chinese Cultural Revolution]] deaths when he was under 5 years old (as he arrogantly tells a Triad capo during [[Chinese Takeout]]). Also in his childhood, he befriended [[Michael Klebitz]] and was introduced to his younger brother [[Johnny Klebitz]], in 1984 when they were 15 and Johnny was 10. According to Michael, Billy "thought he was Jesus on an acid trip" and quickly became a bad influence on Johnny. Michael, in contrast, became a soldier in Iraq and an upstanding citizen, criticizing Billy's and Johnny's criminal biker lifestyle. In 1986, Billy was arrested for stealing a car or bike at age 16, which Johnny would soon imitate in 1991. Billy committed many other crimes and served up to two years in juvenile hall before he and Johnny both joined the [[Lost MC]]. He was arrested for murder in 1989, possibly alongside [[Brian Jeremy]] who was arrested for the same crime in the same year (whether or not, Brian would eventually be his most loyal follower in the Lost).<ref name="TLAD">''[[The Lost and Damned]]''</ref> | Billy Grey was born in [[1971]].<ref name="GTA IV">''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''</ref> He was introduced to violence and racism at a very young age, by watching news coverage of the [[wp:Vietnam War|Vietnam War]] and/or [[wp:Cultural Revolution|Chinese Cultural Revolution]] deaths when he was under 5 years old (as he arrogantly tells a Triad capo during [[Chinese Takeout]]).

In a matter of fifteen years or so, Billy worked his way up from a prospect to president of the chapter. Billy is shown to be a sadistic and violent leader and as president, he enacted the worst acts of violence to the Lost's ongoing rivals since 1982, [[The Angels of Death]]. During his presidency, he was to blame for an accident that handicapped fellow Lost member [[Angus Martin]], and put their AOD rival [[Joe Jon|Joe Jon's]] nephew in a coma. His drug problem severely worsened; He began using heroin and took steroids.<ref name="TLAD"/> | In a matter of fifteen years or so, Billy worked his way up from a prospect to president of the chapter.

At another point in time, Billy slept with Johnny's girlfriend [[Ashley Butler]]; although the social structure of any biker gang readily allows a member's ''Old Lady'' (more or less a girlfriend) sleep around (referred to specifically as "property"), Johnny became understandably jealous but never outwardly criticized Billy for it. He supposedly ended his relationship with her because of her extreme drug habit.<ref name="TLAD"/> | At another point in time, Billy slept with Johnny's girlfriend [[Ashley Butler]]; although the social structure of any biker gang readily allows a member's ''Old Lady'' (more or less a girlfriend) sleep around (referred to specifically as "property"), Johnny became understandably jealous but never outwardly criticized Billy for it.

*Billy Grey and [[Dave Grossman]] are the only members of the Lost MC that appear without wearing their cuts (gang patches and insignia). Billy is seen in normal clothing at the beginning, and in prison fatigues with a brown sweater at the end. Grossman is seen in a suit outside of [[Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster]] during his random encounter. | *Billy Grey and [[Dave Grossman]] are the only members of the Lost MC that appear without wearing their cuts (gang patches and insignia).

*Billy's character personality is very similar to [[Trevor Phillips]], he is an out of control addict, who acts before thinking, and causes problems to those around him with his short temper and bad decisions. The character aspect that defines the line between antagonistic character or a protagonist is loyalty. Billy will, and has, betrayed his close friends, while Trevor is intensely loyal and will not directly stab a friend in the back. (Trevor is abusive to some of his friends, but only in an attempt to control them with fear, and keep them loyal to him as he has abandonment issues). Both characters have also had sex with [[Ashley Butler]], to spite [[Johnny Klebitz]]. | |||
*In [[Grand Theft Auto V]] during the mission [[Friends Reunited]], a couple Lost members are talking about Billy Grey, however the subtitles misspell his name as "Billy Gray". | |||
