Who Is Trevor Philips In GTA 5?
GTA 5 has three major protagonist characters. Each with its own separate identity, class, abilities, and powers. The three protagonists in GTA 5 are listed below:
- Michael De Santa
- Franklin Clinton
- Trevor Philips
Trevor Philips is the pilot of the team and certainly the most interesting one. Its details are given below:
Background Of Trevor Philips
Trevor Philips is a mentally unstable and drug addict protagonist in the game. He also sells drugs and weapons through his “Trevor Philips Enterprises.” He is the first protagonist in the game to have a drug addiction problem.
He was born in Canada. Previously, Trevor joined the Canadian Airforce. As he was mentally unstable, the Military therapist deemed him unfit for his job. Therefore, he left the job.
Trevor Philips and Michael De Santa
He started doing small robberies while living in a small trailer in Sandy Shores. That was where he met Michael De Santa. Although they didn’t go well together nonetheless managed to do many robberies together and fought off many police officers, too.
They met in 1993 on a mission where Trevor brutally murdered a civilian by firing a flare gun into his eye. That’s where Michael thought Trevor and him go along quite well and should team up. They eventually joined hands and did many heists together. They remained friends until Michael teamed up with Franklin to kill Trevor in one of the three GTA 5 endings.
Trevor Philips and Franklin Clinton
Michael introduced Franklin to Trevor before they went on a mission. Trevor didn’t go well with Franklin Clinton and often mocked him for acting like a child to Michael De Santa. Franklin even murdered Trevor by burning him alive in one of the 3 GTA 5 endings. We will discuss this at the end of our guide. Consequently, we can say that Trevor didn’t share a good bond with any of the other two main protagonists.
Abilities Of Trevor Philips
He is wildly famous in GTA 5 because of his psychopathic and impatient behavior. Moreover, Trevor doesn’t hesitate to commit homicide when he turns violent and out of control.
Trevor Philips in GTA 5 has a unique Rage ability where he can deal double damage to his opponents while at the same time taking half as much damage from them.
Trevor is exceptionally experienced in armed and unarmed combat because he has served in Canadian Air Force. Being also a good pilot, he can fly any plane in the game and, therefore, is the primary pilot of the protagonist’s team. He can kick out a pilot from a helicopter while it is in mid-air.
Once you unlock it, Trevor Philips will be your go-to character for any mission. Here’s a step-by-step guide to unlocking it.
