And yes, people are still playing it, thanks in large part to it being released on PC and 2015 and it's highly successful.

Casino Heist Update added late last year.

But let's not forget how good this single player experience Waas.

For the first time in a GT A game, we were able to play as not one protagonist but three as we wreaked havoc all over Los Santos.

And we were also introduced to perhaps the most fitting GT, a anti hero ever in Trevor Phillips.

Sounds ridiculous, actually.

Does not sound ridiculous, you know, because you you're a killer.

I think about it.

For once, there wasn't a huge disconnect between our protagonists moral center and the incredibly vile events playing out on screen Trevor is a psychopath in GT A.

We act like psychopaths, so it made perfect sense.

OK, so where did the inspiration for this now iconic character come from?

You're asking?

Well, he came from a few sources, so let's take a look.

Holy shit is right.

All right, Now, you better be ready, because it is c'mon, full on tutorials.

Okay, First things first.

All right.

Grab us a car.

Physically, Trevor's character is pretty much an exact recreation of the Canadian actor who voiced, and Mo capped him in.

Stephen Aug.

Aug is also known for his work as Simon in The Walking Dead, and he has a very distinct and memorable facial features.

Just like Trevor.

He's gruff, tough, manly and intimidating all at once.

First, I wasn't gonna send you away.

I was gonna kill you.

Also, seeing as Trevor was brought to life through motion capture dog had a lot to do with creating Trevor sporadic mannerisms and other oddities such as his hulking walk and loud speech pattern.

It's just computer bullshit generated by some underpaid, overworked social rejects just sitting by their lonesome, wasted away in front of their computer screen.

The actor was quoted to saying.

Trevor definitely evolved as I performed him.

Nuances and character traits began to appear and definitely informed his development throughout the game.

Thus there was a certain level of letting the character evolve on set, and that work is directly attributable toe Aug himself in terms of external influences, especially in terms of Trevor's personality, Aug looked to Tom Hardy's performance as infamous British criminal Charles Bronson from the 2008 film based on his life.

Bronson, whose full name is Charles Arthur Salvador, has been labeled in UK newspapers as Quote the most violent prisoner in Britain for his explosive behavior behind bars in which he injured many inmates and guards.

In fact, it was his violent behavior, once already in prison, that eventually lead to a lifetime sentence as a repeatedly repeat offender.

Considering the Trevor is also prone to rage and violence, we definitely can see the connection here as there are obvious parallels in terms of impulsivity, lack of control, disregard for authority and outright bloodlust.

Rock star, co founder and VP of creativity down.

Hauser sees Trevor as something that cancer Freud's did a purely instinctual drive, only concerned with satisfying cravings and down be anything that gets in the way those pathetic midlife crisis hog riding, shaven headed, fruity leather chaps wearing asshole.

Fortunately, depending on how you look at it covers instincts are driven by his resentment of his life, including his abusive upbringing and also being stabbed in the back by his former best friend Michel de Santa.

But because he is such a primitive fellow, he's also perhaps the most honest person in GT a five.

Because of it, I'm out.

No, don't go.

Please, I beg you, if you go, his father killed me.

Why don't give?

He doesn't pretend or simply can't pretend that he's anything other than what he is, even if that is a psychopath.

Yeah, well, that little girl sat on my lap when she was two years old, and I swore to God that I would rip the skin off.

Anyone who been wrong is basic and this sense.

But this authenticity actually lends him some sympathy and endearment because in a game of endless double, crossing's honesty is a virtue.

Hey, listen, if you want to replace some father figure, you could do a lot better than this fat snake, All right?

Yes, he's a maniac, but a beast.

He's not a hypocrite.

Like his current and former partner, Michael.

In fact, these two are polar opposites and that Michael is a criminal in control, so much so that he'll manipulate others to get what he wants.

Breast Trevor is a criminal with little to no control, to the point where he can't even pretend not to be violent.

We are going straight to the local union rep.

Wait here was injured in the performance of his duties.

Human waste has seeped into his very pores.

And I am sorry to say this, but I don't think he's ever gonna smell normal.

GT A Writers also built a sizable backstory for Trevor as well, adding lots of death to the character to explain why he is the way he is.

Like the fact that he was born to an abusive family and has major abandonment issues.

Don't know what you're talking.

I don't agree with what you're saying.

Whichever was born in Canada but came to live in the U.

S.

With his family and never quite came to grips with being an outsider, which only fueled his already paranoid behavior.

And on top of the abuse he suffered.

He lived a scattered childhood as well, jumping from school to school in five different states, multiple care homes and, yes, even state prisons.

No thing Father passed away when he was 10 and he was forced to raise himself on his own, but with very little skill to do so in Trevor's lower.

It's also repeated that he has severe rage issues since childhood, and it's even hinted at that.

He is the reason for his younger brother's death, whom he despised.

And we can only conclude from this hint that Trevor killed his brother in a fit of rage.

Despite such a troubled life, however, Trevor was able to develop a love of planes and wanted to be a military pilot.

But of course, his mental condition eliminated him from any sort of consideration for army involvement, and thus, by being rejected from the armed forces rather than abandon his love of aviation, he instead became a smuggler and trafficker and turned to a life of crime.

Damn, it all makes so much sense now.

His character and influences are deeper than what you'd expect by looking at Trevor At first glance, in terms of first impressions, he just looks crazy.

But there's more underneath the surface, you reptilian motherfucker.

I didn't want it to come to this.

Yes, you did.

Your stone is a fucking balls to do it, But I do.

I got bored of losing you.

Never A truer word has been spoken, brother.

Now full of sugar.

And so it would be a mistake to think that GTs Trevor Phillips is just a walking, talking ball of chaos.

And that little thought was put into his controversial character.

As we've seen, Trevor was brought to life through multiple sources, from historical figure to afford in concept.

And his violent behavior stems from a place of hurt, fear and distrust, making his evil persona anything but black and white.

In fact, it's all of this background and back story that makes Trevor one of the more realistic protagonists in any GT a game in so much that he fits the crazy environment he inhabits as well as the crazy choices he makes.

He's a very natural inhabitants in the very insane and unnatural world of Grand Theft auto.

Oh, I love you.

Oh, let me take you away from all of this in the mood for more awesome gaming content.
