Top 5 Grand Theft Auto V Characters
5. Lester Crest
Lester is the mastermind behind all the heists and although he suffers from a wasting disease which has gradually worn down his motor skills during his life and left him wheelchair-bound he is still no less of a threat. He excels best behind his computer screen and is not a person you would like to piss off.
At an unknown point in time, Lester met and became affiliated with Michael Townley and Trevor Philips, becoming a regular member of their heist crews since the start of their partnership.
4. Lamar Davis
Lamar is the best friend of Franklin Clinton they both went to Davis High School together when they were teenagers. Eventually, the two men became involved in crime. Now going about stealing (or "repo-ing") cars for the dealership where they work. Lamar always has something intelligent to say, even if he doesn't have the eloquence to really say it, and he shows that there is more to a small time gangster than meets the eye.
Fun Fact: Lamar was originally supposed to be the character that Franklin ended up being but due to a last minute decision by Rockstar his role was altered.
3. Franklin Clinton
Franklin is a small time gangster, working for a crooked guy who wants him to boost cars for a living. Franklin is the first playable character in GTA V (discounting the prologue) and is our first introduction to the sprawling world of Los Santos.
Franklin was born in South Los Santos in 1988. Following his mother's death, Franklin moved in with his grandparents. Despite being constantly spoiled by his grandmother, Franklin had decided to take on the role of a street hustler. One of his first jobs was selling cigarettes with Bradshaw however, it isn't until Franklin jacks Michael's son's car that he is promoted into the criminal world of high risk, high reward.
2. Micheal De Santa / Townley
Michael Townley used to be part of a big time gang, pulling off bank heists and getting into ferocious shoot-outs. After he is shot by the police, however, he decides to take the way out; witness protection in exchange for information.
Michael is a great character to balance the three protagonist structure. He strikes a balance between Franklin's cool, collected attitude and Trevor's crazy. Michael can be as reasonable as the next guy, but when he's in a bad mood, he can almost be as manic as his old partner. Michael is about as far away from the stereotypical GTA protagonist as you could get, and it seems rather fresh to start off the game as a success this time round.
1. Trevor Philips
Who else could it have been? Rockstar's newest psychopath is different because he's also a protagonist. Trevor Phillips is wild and unhinged. His company, Trevor Phillips Industries, seems to only have two things on its business plan - kill everyone and sell some meth. As the story progresses, Trevor carries out torture, brutally murders people, takes a man's wife hostage and continues his one man rampage.
Trevor is an unbelievably complex character, and will go down in GTA history as one of the wildest characters ever.
"This is my life's work. I mean since I was a little kid I-I dreamt big. Y'Know, I've always wanted to be an international drug dealer and... weapons trader."- TREVOR PHILIPS
