Trey Stewart, notably known as Playboy X, is a character in the HD Universe appering in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned. He is the head of the North Holland Hustlers, which is an African American crack cocaine ring in northern Algonquin, Liberty City.

Description

Dwayne Forge's tutelage

Trey Stewart was born in 1983 in North Holland, where he probably lived his whole life. He was once very book smart as a child (in later years he would become sorely uneducated), but when he was 8 or 9 he became close to the neighborhood's biggest drug lord, Dwayne Forge, who took him in like a son and taught him how to sell drugs. Dwayne was arrested in early 1994, when Trey was about 10, and Dwayne had reserved a penthouse in Northwood for him, as he became leader of the North Holland Hustlers. This is likely when he gained the nickname "Playboy X", as the building is located on Xenotime Street (Playboy refers to it as "X" in Blow Your Cover). Playboy was a small-time dealer, also robbing people, for some time before taking over the gang and bringing it to new heights. In 1999, when Playboy was 16, he was arrested for dealing crack cocaine. Considering he was only 16 he most likely spent his time in a juvenile court for some time.

Leadership of the gang

Under Playboy's leadership and rejecting Dwayne's old-fashioned views, the empire went from being exclusively about drugs to expanding into other realms of business, even legitimate. Still having the most success in drug sales, he became friends with Elizabeta Torres and monitored all drug deals in the city. After 2004, he stopped visiting Dwayne in prison.

Eventually he was introduced to Niko Bellic through a heroin deal and the two began a business relationship. Playboy X also makes a brief appearance in The Lost and Damned where Johnny Klebitz refuses to meet Playboy during the party.

Expanding into other businesses, Playboy even dreamed of leaving crime behind entirely to become a legitimate real estate developer and "see my name in big, gold letters!". He also explains his resolve to give money to poor young blacks and schools after he's wealthy to atone for selling drugs to children (although his penthouse and luxury car insinuate that he's already quite wealthy). He sought to win over Yusuf Amir, a billionaire developer from Dubai. Amir was under intense pressure to cooperate with the Mafia, who had shut down his construction site under the guise of a union strike in order to extort funds from him. X believed he could maneuver himself into Amir's favor by employing Niko Bellic to dispatch the mob gunmen besieging the site. Niko cleared out the site in the Playboy X mission "Deconstruction for Beginners", but Amir was unresponsive. Instead of rewarding X with shares in lucrative construction contracts, he permanently closed down the construction site in memory of those who had died. It is revealed in The Ballad of Gay Tony mission "For the Man Who Has Everything" that Amir continued construction on the soon-to-be Amir Towers. In the original GTA IV, Yusuf's publicist tells news reporters that he was disturbed and saddened by the union massacre; TBOGT reveals that Yusuf was indifferent or perhaps didn't even know what happened, when he nonchalantly tells Luis "I've had some problems with union fucks on the site. Sometimes that shit just goes away".

Dwayne's release from prison and The Holland Play

Eventually Dwayne Forge is released from prison and tensions rise between him and X almost immediately. Playboy ignores Forge and attempts to distance himself from his former mentor, leaving Forge feeling bitter, heartbroken and betrayed. Playboy is still the Boss of the North Holland Hustlers, as eventually Forge retakes his former base of operations, the Triangle Strip Club, from associates of Playboy's, the Trunchez Brothers. Playboy is furious and it is clear that the bad blood between the former partners is going to come to a head.

Playboy X has a private conversation with Niko, claiming that Forge is talking behind his back and attempting to usurp leadership from him, even though he claims he offered half of the business to Forge. Though apparently very saddened by having to kill his mentor, he offers Niko $25,000 to kill Dwayne. Subsequently, Niko is also hired by Dwayne to kill PBX after word hits the street that there is a contract out on him.

If Niko chooses to kill Dwayne, Playboy has a change of heart, upset that his "father figure" was killed. Probably in denial, he blames Niko's cold-heartedness for the betrayal and although he pays Niko the $25,000 as agreed and wishes him the best, he severs all ties from Bellic and cannot be friends with him knowing he killed Dwayne. Later, his answering machine even claims that "you don't know what you got until it's gone."

If Niko chooses to kill Playboy, he shoots his way through Playboy's penthouse and corners him in an alleyway where his gun jams (occasionally it fires a shot when dropped, which is only a glitch but very funny nonetheless). Playboy's last words, defenseless and pleading for his life, are "I was an example to all the kids, man! You can't take that away from me!". Niko then tells Playboy "You didn't change the game, the game changed you" before shooting him in the throat, killing him instantly. Many players choose this path, as it coincides with Niko's moral code, is more challenging than killing Dwayne and brings much more rewards; Dwayne awards you Playboy's penthouse (which he reveals he had the deed to all along), and you gain Playboy's unique yellow Patriot and Dwayne becomes Niko's friend, which eventually offers the perk of calling in Backup, his special ability. Because of this, this ending is extremely likely to be canon. The apartment's wardrobe even includes the GTA III outfit which was worn by Claude, which can be found in Niko's wardrobe (only in Playboy X's Apartment), and in the "... The Holland Play" is the earliest point in the game to obtain a Desert Eagle if you choose to assassinate Playboy X, as he drops it when killed.

Trivia

If the player chooses to kill Playboy X, his profile on the online police database does not change to list him as deceased, but the in-car computer does list him as such.
Playboy X is a big fan of hip-hop and will respond positively if The Classics 104.1 or Beat 102.7 radio stations turn on in the car.
lf the player chooses to kill Playboy X he will flee into an alleyway and will point his Desert Eagle gun towards the player, eventually finding that it isn't loaded. However, when he drops the gun it may go off and ironically injure Niko.
On the back of Playboy X's sweater, 8-Ball's business logo can be seen. This is particularly ironic, considering he also has Claude's clothes in his penthouse.
You can skip chasing Playboy X (when the player chooses to kill Playbox X) and just kill the guys protecting him and aim at then window and while doing that also aim at Playbox X with any handgun and suddenly you will see that the cutscene of Playbox X dying from Niko appears and the desert eagle which is dropped by Playbox X it has ammo and can be picked up. A demonstration of the trick can be seen here.
The LCPD database states that Playboy X is aged 25 in 2008, which would mean he was born around 1983. This means when he was caught for possession of cocaine in 1999, he was 16. But before that, Dwayne Forge went to prison in 1994, which makes Playboy X only 11 years old at the time he became the leader of the gang.

+'''Trey Stewart''', notably known as '''Playboy X''', is a character in the [[HD Universe]] appering in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[The Lost and Damned]]. He is the head of the [[North Holland Hustlers]], which is an African American crack cocaine ring in northern [[Algonquin]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]].
-PBX began his criminal career as a crack dealer in [[Liberty City]], working for then crime boss [[Dwayne Forge]]. Forge ran the Hustlers at the time, controlling the majority of crack cocaine in northern [[Algonquin]] and [[Bohan]]. When Forge went to prison in the early-to-mid 1990's, PBX took over the gang and brought it to new heights.
+== Description ==
+===Dwayne Forge's tutelage===
-Playboy became one of the most premier gangsters in the city, and his success bought him a nice penthouse in [[North Holland]]. Almost immediately Playboy began to turn away from the "old school" values taught by Forge and began the 21st century as a 'gangsta', favouring bling and increasing his reputation. He also sought to expand his horizons, becoming friends with cocaine empress [[Elizabeta Torres]] and following all drug deals in the city. Eventually he was introduced to [[Niko Bellic]] through a heroin deal and the two began a business relationship.
+Trey Stewart was born in [[1983]] in North Holland, where he probably lived his whole life. He was once very book smart as a child (in later years he would become sorely uneducated), but when he was 8 or 9 he became close to the neighborhood's biggest drug lord, [[Dwayne Forge]], who took him in like a son and taught him how to sell drugs. Dwayne was arrested in early [[1994]], when Trey was about 10, and Dwayne had reserved a [[Playboy X's Penthouse |penthouse]] in [[Northwood]] for him, as he became leader of the [[North Holland Hustlers]]. This is likely when he gained the nickname "Playboy X", as the building is located on Xenotime Street (Playboy refers to it as "X" in [[Blow Your Cover]]). Playboy was a small-time dealer, also robbing people, for some time before taking over the gang and bringing it to new heights. In [[1999]], when Playboy was 16, he was arrested for dealing crack cocaine. Considering he was only 16 he most likely spent his time in a juvenile court for some time.
-The major move between the two involved pressuring [[Yusuf Amir]], an entrepreneur from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Amir was under intense pressure to cooperate with Mafia members trying to extort him. The mobsters were starting union troubles for Amir, but PBX believed he could move into the conflict and start a partnership by clearing out the mobsters. Niko Bellic cleared out the men in charge of the shakedown, but Amir was unresponsive. Instead of being grateful to PBX, he feared further retaliation from the Mafia and caved into their demands.

Still having the most success in drug sales, he became friends with [[Elizabeta Torres]] and monitored all drug deals in the city. After [[2004]], he stopped visiting Dwayne in prison.
-Eventually Dwayne Forge is released from prison and tensions rise almost immediately. Playboy ignores Forge and attempts to distance himself from his former mentor, leaving Forge bitter and heartbroken. Eventually Forge retakes his former base of operations, the Triangle Strip Club, back from associates of Playboy's, the [[Trunchez Brothers]]. Playboy is furious and it is clear that the beef between the former partners is going to come to a head.
+Eventually he was introduced to [[Niko Bellic]] through [[Blow Your Cover|a heroin deal]] and the two began a business relationship. Playboy X also makes a brief appearance in [[The Lost and Damned]] where [[Johnny Klebitz]] refuses to meet Playboy during the party.
-==The Holland Play==
+Expanding into other businesses, Playboy even dreamed of leaving crime behind entirely to become a legitimate real estate developer and "see my name in big, gold letters!". He also explains his resolve to give money to poor young blacks and schools after he's wealthy to atone for selling drugs to children (although his penthouse and luxury car insinuate that he's already quite wealthy). He sought to win over [[Yusuf Amir]], a billionaire developer from Dubai. Amir was under intense pressure to cooperate with the Mafia, who had shut down his construction site under the guise of a union strike in order to extort funds from him. X believed he could maneuver himself into Amir's favor by employing [[Niko Bellic]] to dispatch the mob gunmen besieging the site. Niko cleared out the site in the Playboy X mission "[[Deconstruction for Beginners]]", but Amir was unresponsive. Instead of rewarding X with shares in lucrative construction contracts, he permanently closed down the construction site in memory of those who had died. It is revealed in The Ballad of Gay Tony mission "[[For the Man Who Has Everything]]" that Amir continued construction on the soon-to-be Amir Towers.

Sometimes that shit just goes away".
-In [[The Holland Play]], Playboy X offers Niko $25,000 to kill Dwayne Forge. He alleges that Forge is talking behind his back and attempting to usurp leader
-ship from him, even though PBX claims he offered half of the business to Forge. Subsequently, Niko is also hired by Dwayne to kill PBX after word hits the street that there is a contract out on him.
-If Niko chooses to kill Dwayne, Playboy has a change of heart, upset that his mentor was killed. He blames Niko's cold-heartedness for the betrayal and severs all ties from Bellic, threatening him for his actions. Later, his answering machine even claims that "you don't know what you got until it's gone." If Niko sides with Forge, he shoots his way through PBX's penthouse and corners him in an alleyway, easily executing him and returning control of the gang to Forge.
+===Dwayne's release from prison and The Holland Play===
-If the player chooses to perform a execution with a pistol on Playboy, Niko shoots plants the barrel of the gun directly underneath Playboy's jaw, and shoots him point blank, making an exit wound through the top of his head.
+Eventually Dwayne Forge is released from prison and tensions rise between him and X almost immediately. Playboy ignores Forge and attempts to distance himself from his former mentor, leaving Forge feeling bitter, heartbroken and betrayed. Playboy is still the [[Boss]] of the [[North Holland Hustlers]], as eventually Forge retakes his former base of operations, the Triangle Strip Club, from associates of Playboy's, the [[Trunchez Brothers]]. Playboy is furious and it is clear that the bad blood between the former partners is going to come to a head.
-As a token of gratitude, Forge gives Niko the apartment Playboy once inhabited, along with the [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] outfit which was worn by [[Claude]], which can be found in Niko's wardrobe.
+Playboy X has a private conversation with Niko, claiming that Forge is talking behind his back and attempting to usurp leadership from him, even though he claims he offered half of the business to Forge. Though apparently very saddened by having to kill his mentor, he offers [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] $25,000 to kill Dwayne. Subsequently, Niko is also hired by Dwayne to kill PBX after word hits the street that there is a contract out on him.
-Playboy X claimed that his goal in life was to make enough money to support young African-American youth in Liberty City. He hoped to become a major philanthropist and community hero.
+If Niko chooses to kill Dwayne, Playboy has a change of heart, upset that his "father figure" was killed. Probably in denial, he blames Niko's cold-heartedness for the betrayal and although he pays Niko the $25,000 as agreed and wishes him the best, he severs all ties from Bellic and cannot be friends with him knowing he killed Dwayne. Later, his answering machine even claims that "you don't know what you got until it's gone."
-He is voiced by Postell Pringle.

Playboy's last words, defenseless and pleading for his life, are "I was an example to all the kids, man! You can't take that away from me!".

-==Claude Outfit==
+==Mission appearances==
-If chosen to kill Playboy X the player will recieve his mansion and [[Claude]]'s outfit from [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. This has brought up the question, "''How did Playboy X get [[Claude]]'s outfit?''" Therefore fans wonder if perhaps Claude had dealt with Playboy between 2001 and 2008, or if PBX may have actually killed Claude. But as of now these are just rumors.
