| 8 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d268993d5a33e1fec2644a3a69543c90.jpg]] |
| 9 | |
| 10 | A marijuana-legalization activist who cheerfully hands out homegrown samples. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | * CloudCuckooLander: He's so high off his ass that he lives in his own little world. |
| 13 | * ConspiracyTheorist: He'll rant about satellites scanning people's brains at one point. |
| 14 | * EruditeStoner: He seems to think he's one of these, based on all his talk about the government and the things he says as Michael and Trevor are coming down from their highs. In truth, he's a paranoid weirdo who proves to be pretty ineffective for his cause. |
| 15 | * LazyBum: He never does his own deliveries, instead mooching off of Franklin to get the marijuana for him. |
| 16 | * MushroomSamba: Whenever he offers one of the characters a hit of his joint, expect them to experience hallucinations of being attacked by monsters, [[spoiler:with the exception of Franklin, who smokes so regularly that he's used to it.]] Barry apparently doesn't see this as an unusual side-effect. |
| 17 | * PetTheDog: While his attempts to legalize marijuana in the main story of V don't really go anywhere after his missions with Franklin, the 2021 ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoOnline'' update, "The Contract", reveals that marijuana has finally been legalized in the state of San Andreas by the year 2021. |
| 18 | * ProperlyParanoid: He is, as it turns out, not entirely off-base in his ranting about the cops being out to stop his activism; Franklin, at least, will get a wanted level if he hangs around him for too long or takes the wrong route to his apartment after picking up a stash. |
| 19 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. His eyes are bloodshot if you look close enough, but it's just a sign of his constant marijuana use. He's not malicious, just a lazy weirdo who gets high too much. |
| 20 | * TheStoner: Such a stoner that he's trying to stage a "Smoke-In" at city hall to promote marijuana-legalization. [[spoiler:After Franklin gets Barry all the drugs he asks for in order to stage one, he and his friends get so high off their own stash they completely forget about it]]. |
| 21 | * SmugSnake: Believes the only people who should have a say in a democratic society are the "smart" ones like him. |
| 22 | * StrawmanPolitical: Specifically, a TakeThat at white pro-marijuana "activists" who are more interested in getting stoned over the actual decriminalization of Cannabis. |
| 23 | ** His distrust of the government and his vocal dedication to marijuana legalization implies he's one for libertarians. |

| 26 | [[folder:Mary-Ann Quinn]] |
| 27 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8119fc959564a58041aa75d58d8be349.jpg]] |
| 28 | |
| 29 | A fitness obsessed woman pushing 40 (39 for the record, and, ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial no]]'' she doesn't care she's [[OldMaid still single at her age]]. Quit asking.) who is filled with immense self-loathing, and vents it by challenging guys to races if she so much as ''thinks'' that they're looking at her funny. |
| 30 | ---- |
| 31 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Unsurprisingly, she is disgusted when Trevor professes his love to her. |
| 32 | * AmazonianBeauty: Played with. She's ''certainly'' muscular, and she accuses every man she meets of checking her out, even when we know they weren't. On the other hand, Trevor falls madly in love with her, but more for her attitude than her body. And on the other, ''other'' hand, while Franklin refers to her as thinner than he'd like, he says she's "A'ight." And on the other, other, ''OTHER'' hand, she's definitely rocking some midriff and SensualSpandex there, so if you're into that sort of thing, there's plenty on display. |
| 33 | * AxCrazy: Well, she hasn't ''killed'' anyone yet (we hope), but she gets extremely pissed off at just the slightest perceived infraction by the protagonists, and [[NoIndoorVoice hammers them with ear-piercing]] [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating verbal abuse]]. During her foot race with Michael, she insists they run in the road and take the traffic head-on. |
| 34 | * BetterThanSex: If she wins her race against Michael she'll yell "Yes! Endorphins! Better than sex!" Which is an odd thing to say, considering sex makes the body produce endorphins too. |
| 35 | * BelligerentSexualTension: Possibly with Michael based on her interactions with him, definitely not with Trevor. |
| 36 | * CompetitionFreak: Her reaction to each of her meetings with the protagonists is to immediately challenge them to a race. Except for Trevor… |
| 37 | * DoesNotLikeMen: Tends to think of Michael, Franklin and Trevor as {{Straw Misogynist}}s (or at the very least [[AllMenArePerverts perverts who want to fuck her senseless]]), and [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating hurls verbal insults left, right and center]] while racing them. |
| 38 | * HairTriggerTemper: Just about everything pisses her off. |
| 39 | * HotBlooded: Her blood is ''boiling''. |
| 40 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: It seems quite clear that her competitiveness and arrogance are both strongly implied to be act to cover up the insecurity she feels over being 39 years old, single, and childless. |
| 41 | * JerkJock: A rare female example. |
| 42 | * {{Narcissist}}: She has such a high opinion of herself that she thinks every man who talks to her is trying to have sex with her. Also, she plans on having children via a surrogate because she's too afraid of getting fat to get pregnant. |
| 43 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She is an extreme parody of Jillian Michaels, the so called "World's Toughest Trainer." |
| 44 | * NoIndoorVoice: Expect her to scream pretty much ''everything'' she says. |
| 45 | * [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription Oblivious to Her Own Description]][=/=]HypocriticalHumor: Here's her response to Trevor's come-ons. |
| 46 | --> '''Mary-Ann:''' "You are [[LeanAndMean thin]]. You're [[HairTriggerTemper irrationally angry]]. [[CloudCuckooLander Nothing you say makes any sense]]. You are... [[HotBlooded completely have no control over your emotions]]. ''[[BlatantLies We have nothing in common!]]''" |
| 47 | --> '''Trevor:''' Oh baby, we're ''made'' for each other! |
| 48 | * OldMaid: No. She's ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial not]]'' concerned with her not being married despite her age. Quit asking. |
| 49 | * PetTheDog: In spite of her angry personality and vocal dislike of men, she actually stays in contact with Michael through social media and seems to enjoy his cynical sense of humor. |
| 50 | * StrawFeminist: Not as much as [[Characters/GrandTheftAutoVFriendsFamilyAndAssociates Denise Clinton's]] friends, but her JerkJock CompetitionFreak lifestyle and her [[DoesNotLikeMen extreme verbal dislike of all three male protagonists]] definitely puts her somewhere in this category. |
| 51 | * SoreLoser: Never takes losing the races well. |
| 52 | %%* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Her complaints about men checking her out can come across as this. |
| 53 | * TalkingToThemself: When racing, she tends to coach herself out loud. She hurls just as many insults at herself than she does at the protagonists. |
| 54 | --> '''Mary-Ann:''' "''Push through the burn! Use it! Make it your bitch!''" |
| 55 | --> '''Franklin:''' "[[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper I'm trying!]]" |
| 56 | --> '''Mary-Ann:''' "''NOT '''YOU''', IDIOT, '''ME!!!'''''" |
| 57 | * UnsportsmanlikeGloating: ''Really'' rubs in her superiority to the characters when she's racing them -- [[SoreLoser until she loses, that is]]. |
| 58 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Strangely, it's implied that she views Michael this way. He's the only character she remains in contact with after their meeting, and she seems to enjoy his [[DeadpanSnarker snide]], {{self deprecat|ion}}ing sense of humor. |

| 61 | !!Franklin's Strangers |
| 62 | |
| 63 | [[folder:Tonya Wiggins]] |
| 64 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gtav_tonya_9574.png]] |
| 65 | |
| 66 | A childhood friend of Franklin's. She and her boyfriend JB are crackheads, although she's the more functional of the two. Due to JB being drugged out of his mind most of the time, she guilt-trips Franklin into covering JB's towing shift multiple times. |
| 67 | ---- |
| 68 | * DontYouDarePityMe: Snaps at Franklin every time it looks like he's pitying or judging her. |
| 69 | * DrugsAreBad: Both she and her boyfriend JB are ''shining'' examples. |
| 70 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even she thinks Denise is crazy. |
| 71 | * FanDisservice: A rather tragic example. Though he helps her because of how desperate she is, Franklin is disgusted by Tonya's degradation and flirtatious gestures towards him. In fact, Tonya's looks have taken such a big hit that even ''Trevor'' is put off by her if they encounter each other. |
| 72 | -->'''Trevor''': I've got ''very'' low standards, [[EveryoneHasStandards but even I ain't gonna sink that low]]. |
| 73 | * FavorsForTheSexy: She thinks she has Franklin under her spell because of her looks. In truth, he's disgusted by her, but is too much of a NiceGuy to abandon her or her boyfriend. |
| 74 | * FunctionalAddict: ''BARELY.'' She at least has the sense to keep from losing their house. She even calls herself this when yelling at JB. |
| 75 | * IWasQuiteALooker: Franklin lusted after her before her drug abuse, implying that she was quite pretty. Obviously, her drug addiction has caused Tonya to become much less attractive over time, to the point where even [[ThePigPen Trevor Philips]] (who's normally willing to screw [[ExtremeOmnisexual anyone or anything]] to satisfy his needs) is disgusted by her. |
| 76 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: She tells Franklin he's no better than she is whenever he demands she clean up her act. At one point, after he turns down another offer for sex, she accuses him of "rent-boying" for Michael[[note]]meaning, [[MistakenForGay letting a rich man]] [[GoldDigger have sex with him for money]][[/note]]. Franklin immediately tells her she has the wrong idea, but she doesn't buy it. |
| 77 | -->'''Franklin''': The hood grapevine has really outdone itself this time. |
| 78 | * OldFlameFizzle: Apparently, Franklin really lusted after her when they were kids, but she never let him get anywhere beyond second base. To this day, she thinks he still carries the same torch for her, but he's severely put off by the person she's become. |
| 79 | * SevenDeadlySins: She has 6 out of 7 tattooed on her arm. The only one that isn't there is {{Sloth}}; Maybe because it's the one that applies most to her? |
| 80 | * SmallNameBigEgo: She thinks she's a ''lot'' sexier than she actually is. |
| 81 | * StopBeingStereotypical: Franklin tries to tell her this several times. |
| 82 | * {{Streetwalker}}: One way she supports her habit. |
| 83 | * TheTease: Although it's not intended to be sexy at ALL. |
| 84 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Tonya is so disgusting that not even ''[[ThePigPen Trevor Philips]]'' wants anything to do with her. |
| 85 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: She and Franklin were good friends when they were kids, though her drug abuse turned her into a desperate and jaded woman who Franklin obviously doesn't want anything to do with. |
| 86 | * UselessBoyfriend: JB, which is why Tonya asks Franklin to tow for him. |
| 87 | [[/folder]] |
| 88 | |
| 89 | [[folder:Hao]] |
| 90 | |
| 91 | A friend of Franklin's who works at the Los Santos Customs near the airport. He challenges Franklin to a number of illegal street races during the night (20:00 to 5:00). |
| 92 | ---- |
| 93 | * BadassDriver: Naturally, since he's a street racer. |
| 94 | * TheBusCameBack: Ends up returning in the ''Tuners'' update in 2021, as a member of the LS car meet. |
| 95 | * DefeatMeansRespect: After winning all the street races, Franklin gets a snide, but congratulatory phone call from Hao saying that he's impressed. |
| 96 | * GracefulLoser: His congratulatory phone call to Franklin after the latter wins all the street races. |
| 97 | * NiceGuy: He's a little sarcastic with Franklin, but aside from that he's [[DefeatMeansRespect pretty chill]] about losing to Franklin at racing. Hao also gladly fixes and mods your vehicles at the airport Los Santos Customs. |
| 98 | [[/folder]] |
| 99 | |
| 100 | [[folder:Beverly Felton]] |
| 101 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1dec48fb5a276511d4d1c7e792bc74e3.jpg]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | A paparazzo roaming Vinewood that Franklin encounters, he employs Franklin's help in gathering footage that he can sell. [[spoiler:He finally ends up with his own RealityTV show, and spurns Franklin of his pay.]] In the Next-Gen versions of the game, he signs Franklin up for the Los Santos Tourism Board's Wildlife Photography Challenge. |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | * AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: [[spoiler:Once he gets his own TV show he acts like Franklin is a little nobody he can just ignore. Depending on the player's choice, this is a huge mistake for Beverly.]] |
| 106 | * TheCynic: Publicly accuses celebrities of being worthless trash, [[{{Hypocrite}} even as he fawns over them]] [[SmallNameBigEgo (and himself)]]. |
| 107 | * DiggingYourselfDeeper: When he mistakes Franklin during their initial confrontation for closeted rapper Clay "PG" Jackson and suggests he's there for some down-low sex, Franklin cusses him out for not respecting the privacy of others and assuming a black man wouldn't have any business being in Vinewood. What follows is positively cringe-worthy. |
| 108 | -->'''Franklin:''' What the fuck, man?! You see a black man walkin' around Vinewood, you think he Clay "PG" Sellout?!\ |
| 109 | '''Beverly:''' Oh! Oh, shit, man, oh... Hey, I'm sorry, dude. I didn't... didn't have my contacts in, y'know... I mean, I ''love'' black people. Yeah! Y' know, like, like, I love ''gangsters!'' I love, like, ''gangster rap!'' "Yo!" "S'up!" |
| 110 | * GenderBlenderName: Beverly usually isn't a guy's name. |
| 111 | * HateSink: He’s a pretty transparently despicable paparazzi member, and encourages you to take increasingly candid and cruel shots of embarrassing aspects of celebrities private lives. |
| 112 | * HypocriticalHumor: He calls out an opposing paparazzo named Madison for having a GenderBlenderName. |
| 113 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Choosing to kill him and his crew. Killing them is required to earn a gold medal for the "Paparazzo - Reality Check" mission.]] |
| 114 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:If Franklin just walks away.]] |
| 115 | * MadonnaWhoreComplex: And how. Disturbingly, one of his quotes while chasing Miranda Cowan is "She's a goddess! She's a whore...", suggesting he doesn't even compartmentalize the two extremes. |
| 116 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Although his name suggests Perez Hilton, his confrontational photography style and the tabloid TV show he eventually gets are parodies of TMZ. |
| 117 | * {{Paparazzi}}: Has a love-hate relationship with celebrities, believing he and the rest of the world has the right to know every single thing about their personal lives. |
| 118 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Is a slimier, more unlikable version of [[VideoGame/{{GrandTheftAutoIV}} Manny Escuela and Jay Hamilton]]. Aspiring reality TV star? Check. Sticks his nose in other peoples' business? Bingo. Delusions of grandeur? Right on. |
| 119 | * TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: Instead of killing Beverly or just walking away, Franklin can get back at Beverly by stealing his car.]] |
| 120 | * UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:He refuses to pay Franklin despite all of the work Franklin put in towards helping Beverly get his exclusives.]] |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:Dom Beasley]] |
| 124 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bd15fc5a51da9d81f131c3cae73ef39c.jpg]] |
| 125 | |
| 126 | An adrenaline junkie who Franklin encounters across Los Santos and Blaine County. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * EccentricMillionaire: He never passes up a chance to mention his bottomless bank account, and damned if he isn't eccentric. |
| 129 | * {{Hypocrite}}: When he's ahead of Franklin, he'll [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating trash talk and mock him]]. When Franklin's in the lead, he'll [[SoreLoser whine and tell him to wait up]]. He can even specifically taunt Franklin by saying "Don't make me wait up for you" ''seconds'' after telling Franklin to wait for ''him.'' |
| 130 | * InnocentBigot: When he accidentally says something racist, he tries to apologizes for it by saying something even MORE racist. |
| 131 | * {{Jerkass}}: He is, in general, a bit of a dick to Franklin, believing him to be a pussy. Oh, how wrong he is. |
| 132 | * JerkJock: Of the extreme sports variety. |
| 133 | * OhCrap: During his final encounter with Franklin, [[spoiler:he willingly jumps off the reservoir without a parachute before he starts screaming in fear right afterwards prior to his death, implying he finally realized that his stunt was about to kill him.]] |
| 134 | * SomeOfMyBestFriendsAreX: Says this to Franklin during his second encounter. |
| 135 | * SoreLoser: He reacts poorly if Franklin comes in ahead of him in some of the encounters. |
| 136 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: For as utterly ridiculous and as terrifying as his stunts may be [[spoiler: (in addition to all of the stunts that Franklin has to complete in order to unlock his final encounter)]], at least they all involved using parachutes so as to guarantee safety. But while Franklin uses them properly, it's Dom's own increasingly frantic desire for more adrenaline rushes that causes him to slowly neglect opening his parachutes at the proper time (hence why he's first found dangling in a tree after having crashed) to simply forgo using one at all, [[spoiler: which results in him leaping to his death trying to land in very shallow waters in his third encounter]]. |
| 137 | * ThrillSeeker: As far as he's concerned, Franklin's a pussy simply because he isn't willing to constantly risk life and limb in ever more extreme ways. [[spoiler: Which of course, leads to Franklin having the last laugh after Dom jumps off a dam with no parachute; as he puts it, "evolution in action".]] |
| 138 | * TooDumbToLive: |
| 139 | ** When you first encounter him he's just nearly died from a parachuting accident... the "accident" being he forgot to deploy his parachute. |
| 140 | ** During his last encounter you find him attempting his "most extreme stunt" yet, which happens to be jumping off a dam with no parachute. [[spoiler: The results are predictable.]] |
| 141 | -->'''Franklin:''' "[[LampshadeHanging You dumb idiot]]." |
| 142 | [[/folder]] |
| 143 | |
| 144 | [[folder:Omega]] |
| 145 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a925a2bc4b4d070cdc523e192350fc85.jpg]] |
| 146 | |
| 147 | Omega (real name unknown) is a paranoid hippie who claims to have been abducted by aliens. He commissions Franklin to find the 50 alien spaceship parts scattered across Los Santos and Blaine County, so he can rebuild the alien ship. [[spoiler:The "ship" is a BF Dune Buggy, modified with neon lights and a strange, futuristic engine.]] |
| 148 | ---- |
| 149 | * AlienAbduction: Claims to be the victim of one. [[spoiler:Turns out it probably had more to do with hallucinogens than extraterrestrials.]] |
| 150 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A paranoid hippie who's completely convinced that aliens visited him. He's also a bit... out of it. |
| 151 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: [[spoiler:While not addressed in the story itself, is in fact an actual UFO, which you can see fly if you get 100% completion.]] |
| 152 | * {{Expy}}: A {{Cloudcuckoolander}} hippie obsessed with conspiracy theories, living in the desert, and telling an African-American young man to collect unusually strange artifacts. Are we talking about Omega or [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas The Truth]]? |
| 153 | * MythologyGag: Has a number of things in common to [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas The Truth]] being a [[NewAgeRetroHippie modern age hippie]] that's a little out there. |
| 154 | [[/folder]] |
| 155 | |
| 156 | [[folder:Peter Dreyfuss]] |
| 157 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peterdreyfuss2_gtav.png]] |
| 158 | |
| 159 | Peter Dreyfuss, an aging movie director living in the Vinewood Hills. He had a penchant for heavy drugs and the macabre during the '70s, belittling the actors and actresses who starred in his movies as "harlequins". [[spoiler:This attitude came to a head in 1975, when he murdered starlet Leonora Johnson. Franklin goes to confront him after all 50 scraps of his confession letter are found.]] |
| 160 | ---- |
| 161 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Far and away the biggest one in the game, making everything leading up to the big confrontation with him worth it. [[KarmaHoudini That is unless Franklin decides not to kill him.]]]] |
| 162 | -->'''Franklin:''' [[spoiler:"Say 'Hello' to Leonora, [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker]]."]] |
| 163 | * AxCrazy: [[spoiler:An incredibly fucked up individual who tortures people, eats dogs and mutilates people for kicks.]] |
| 164 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: [[spoiler:Besides his horrifying torture and murder of Leonora, he'll mention eating dogs while running from Franklin.]] |
| 165 | * ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:He tortured Leonora and kept her alive for a long time to enjoy her suffering.]] |
| 166 | * DepravedBisexual: He asks Franklin to suck him off after just meeting him [[spoiler:and had sex with Leonora Johnson's body after killing her.]] |
| 167 | * DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:He panics the second Franklin reveals he knows about Dreyfuss' crime and flees when Franklin proves immune to bribery.]] |
| 168 | * DirtyOldMan: A particularly nasty example. He has a history of sexual harassment during his career, asks Franklin for a blowjob when they meet, [[spoiler: had sex with Leonora's body after killing her and while running from Franklin, he may mention sleeping with young women that are heavily implied to have been underage.]] |
| 169 | * DoYouWantToCopulate: He assumes that this is the reason why Franklin is visiting him at first. |
| 170 | * EntitledBastard: Flat out says that he can do whatever he wants because he's famous and those are "the rules." |
| 171 | * ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:The real reason he murdered Leonora Johnson and tormented her parents was just because he could.]] |
| 172 | * HateSink: [[spoiler:Even 38 years after his murder and [[ILoveTheDead post-mortem rape]] of Leonora Johnson]], he's still a [[{{Jerkass}} deeply unpleasant]], [[DirtyOldMan disgusting]] RichBastard [[EntitledBastard who thinks his status puts him above everyone else.]] [[spoiler: When Franklin finally confronts him, Dreyfuss thinks he's here to fellate him and [[DirtyCoward runs off once Franklin expresses his hostilities]]. Also, Dreyfuss doesn't show a shred of remorse about his crime, and is also implied to be an outright SerialKiller. Everything to make sure you '''enjoy''' killing that bastard.]] |
| 173 | * ILoveTheDead: [[spoiler:On top of torturing and murdering Leonora Johnson, the sick bastard sexually defiled her corpse after he killed her.]] |
| 174 | * IShallTauntYou: [[spoiler:After murdering Leonora, he sent phone calls and letters to her parents for years, and even sent trophies of the murder like Leonora's locket and most horrifying of all, ''her severed lips'', all to [[{{Sadist}} spread even more misery onto them.]] ]] |
| 175 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:If Franklin lets him get away, he faces no punishment for his crimes.]] |
| 176 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:Almost 40 years after his murder/rape of Leonora Johnson and variety of other horrible crimes, Franklin [[KarmicDeath finally kills him]] and brings justice to everyone Dreyfuss hurt and killed]]. |
| 177 | * KickTheDog: He did all over the place whenever he could. In some cases, he quite literally 'ate' the dog. |
| 178 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:If you choose the option to kill him.]] |
| 179 | * MadArtist: He proclaims that [[spoiler:he doesn't sleep with younger girls, torture hitchhikers, and eat dogs for fun, but to understand suffering and make better art.]] He also claims this is why he [[spoiler:tortured, mutilated, murdered, and sexually defiled the body of Leonora Johnson before psychologically tormenting her parents by mailing them bits of her body.]] It should come as a shock to no one that this excuse is a load of bull. |
| 180 | * MoreHateableMinorVillain: Despite being a relatively minor villain who only appears in the side missions of Strangers and Freaks, Dreyfuss is by far one of the '''most''' loathsome villains in the entire GTA franchise, easily overshadowing the main {{Big Bad}}s of the storyline in terms of depravity. |
| 181 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: |
| 182 | ** While he's not based on any one person in particular, it's clear that the character is Rockstar's TakeThat towards celebrities and wealthy people who think they're above everyone else and can get away with literally anything. [[spoiler:The nature of his crimes, combined with the fact that he's a director who was in his prime in TheSeventies, specifically brings to mind Creator/RomanPolanski and, to a lesser extent, Creator/WoodyAllen.]] |
| 183 | ** In a more innocuous way, [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous his name is taken from two of the biggest stars of the New Hollywood era]], Peter Fonda and Richard Dreyfuss. |
| 184 | ** The details of the murder of Lenora Johnson seems to take some inspiration from the murders of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dahlia Elizabeth Short]] (the notorious "Black Dahlia" case) and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Stratten Dorothy Stratton]]. Dreyfuss is also named similarly to and physically resembles 1970s director Peter Bogdanovich, who was Stratton's lover prior to her murder (although it should be noted that Stratton was murdered by her ex-husband, and Bogdanovich had nothing to do with the crime). |
| 185 | * RapeAndRevenge: [[spoiler: Should Franklin choose to avenge Leonora by killing him. Subverted if Franklin lets him go.]] |
| 186 | * {{Sadist}}: Not only did he [[spoiler:murder Leonora Johnson in one of the most horrific way a human being can, he twisted the knife in her parents with letters, phone calls, and mailing things like her locket or her severed lips.]] There is no other reason he would do this. |
| 187 | * SerialKiller[=/=]SerialRapist: [[spoiler:If the claim of torturing hitchhikers is indeed true, than it looks like Leonora wasn't his only victim.]] |
| 188 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He apparently thinks his rewritten drafts of Creator/WilliamShakespeare's plays have "improved" them. |
| 189 | * StrawMisogynist: He's an old creep who would belittle the actresses starring in his movies and has a history of sexual harassment. [[spoiler:His drawn-out torture and murder of Leonora and his flimsy justification of it being for "artistic purposes" cement that the guy has some ''very fucked up issues'' with women.]] |
| 190 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His role in this game is very similar to that of [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV Eddie Low]]. Like Eddie Low, Dreyfuss is an [[AxCrazy utterly depraved psychopath]] and a relatively minor character who only appears in the side missions. |
| 191 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: Make no mistake, ''GTA V'' is far from being family-friendly, and Los Santos is a full-fledged CrapsaccharineWorld. Nevertheless, the game compensates for it by being a BlackComedy featuring a myriad of colorful and over-the-top characters, entertaining and extravagant heist missions, and a summer atmosphere that feels like it's at its peak. Despite appearing only in a side mission, Dreyfuss stands out as an unusually disturbing, dark, and horrific villain that seems somewhat out of place with the game's overall tone. He wouldn't be out of place in works like ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}'' or the [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]] ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV GTA IV]]'', though. |
| 192 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He has one when Franklin confronts him over the death of Leonora Johnson.]] |
| 193 | * WalkingSpoiler: Completing the paper scrap sidequest reveals a major plot twist revolving around him: namely, that [[spoiler:he was the one who killed Leonora Johnson.]] |

| 196 | [[folder:The Last One '''(Spoilers Unmarked!)''']] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | A hunter who appears for Franklin after the player reaches 100% Completion. He asks Franklin to help him hunt down the last Bigfoot. After an extensive chase, he finally corners it down... only to find out that the last "Sasquatch" is nothing but a furry who is ''deeply'' in-character. |
| 199 | ---- |
| 200 | |
| 201 | * CallBack: [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemptionUndeadNightmare This isn't the first time a hunter has been after a Sasquatch. Not only that, but his name Tanner is a reference to Tanner's Reach, the cabin where the hunter could be met at.]] |
| 202 | * CanonWelding: Implied, but it's more of a semi-canon in-joke than anything. Keeping a distance from him before starting the mission has him mentioning that he hopes to make his great-granddaddy proud. As said above, he isn't the first Sasquatch hunter. |
| 203 | * TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: While he is shown to be a little crazy and shoots a person while believing that they are the Sasquatch, he is right that there is a Sasquatch in San Andreas just not the one that he was hunting at that point. The December 2023 update reveals that there is a Yeti in San Andreas that the player can kill and gain it's appearance as a costume. |
| 204 | * GenerationXerox: Even if the ''Red Dead Redemption'' and ''HD GTA Universe'' are different universes, then this is still in ridiculous full effect. He's wearing the same hat, has the same beard, and has the same blind left eye as his great-granddaddy. |
| 205 | * GivenNameReveal: When he returns and contacts the GTA Online Protagonist during the 2023 December event, it's revealed that his real name is actually Tanner. |
| 206 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: He makes a reference to the [[UrbanLegendOfZelda rumors]] of a Bigfoot/Sasquatch existing in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'', saying that he's after the creature for 9 years.[[note]]Grand Theft Auto V was released 9 years after San Andreas.[[/note]] |
| 207 | * KilledOffForReal: The Golden Peyote Plant hunt in the Enhanced Edition has you eventually finding the hunter's corpse during one of your Sasquatch hallucinations. Subverted in "Online" which reveals that he is still alive, implying that his corpse was just part of the hallucination. |
| 208 | * WalkingSpoiler: If not for unmarking spoilers, every entry here would be spoilered out. |

| 216 | ---- |
| 217 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:The main point of her CollectionSidequest was to find evidence proving Frank died in an accident, but Michael instead finds conclusive proof that his sub ''was'' sabotaged, by her as well to boot.]] |

| 237 | ---- |
| 238 | * ArcVillain: The main antagonist of the Epsilon Program missions, he and his cult tasks Michael to do the most inane, mind-numbing tasks for their supposed cause. |
| 239 | * AscendedExtra: He made his first appearance in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'', but only as a voice on the radio advertising the Epsilon Program. In ''Grand Theft Auto V'', he makes a physical appearance and plays a role in one of the game's lengthier side quests. |
| 240 | * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:GTA Online implies that he has done this, [[EpilepticTrees assuming he isn't some kind of god in the first place]].]] |
| 241 | * ConMan: What he really is when it boils down to it. After conning dozens of thousands of dollars out of Michael, getting him to procure expensive sports cars, and making him [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking run five miles in the desert in stupid robes chanting "Kifflom!" repeatedly]], he promptly skedaddles off to the Caymans. |
| 242 | * {{Cult}}: He runs one of the ChurchOfHappyology variety. |
| 243 | * EvilEyebrows: Seriously, just ''look'' at that picture. It's a miracle anyone would trust a face lurking under those dark, sinister-looking brows. |
| 244 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Michael can either simply let the chopper containing the money meant to go to Cris fly away, or, if you want to earn a gold medal for the final Epsilon mission, destroy the chopper, kill all Epsilonists at the scene, and make off with a hefty ''$2.1 million'' booty, leaving Cris with nothing but empty threats against you over the phone after the mission. Either way you will still get the "Kifflom!" achievement.]] |

| 260 | |
| 261 | A hillbilly resident of Sandy Shores, who is neighbors with Trevor. He runs a hunting business. |
| 262 | ---- |
| 263 | * GeekyTurnOn: He admits that his girlfriend "ain't the prettiest, but she can handle a firearm like a Marine." |
| 264 | * HunterTrapper: He's made a tidy business selling his catch to the hipster culture living in Los Santos. |
| 265 | * NiceGuy: Downplayed. He's nice to Trevor, even telling him via text that he thinks [[spoiler:Patricia]] is a nice woman and that he's happy Trevor found someone. He's a {{jerkass}} to everyone else though, shooting out his neighbors' satellite dishes, as well as shooting out the tires of cars that are driving by. On the other hand, in Cletus' eyes, most everybody else in Sandy Shores is an AssholeVictim anyways. In his own words, "half the people in this town would sell their own mother, and half of them already have. Screw 'em!" |

| 272 | An overweight woman running a bail bond office from her trailer between Sandy Shores and Grapeseed. She commissions Trevor to work as her bounty hunter. |
| 273 | ---- |
| 274 | * TenMinuteRetirement: While she tells Trevor that she plans to retire after he completed the final Bail Bond mission, she returns to her work in "Grand Theft Auto Online" as part of the "After Hours" update since she continues her desire for justice and helps the player with Bounty Hunting missions. |
| 275 | * DeadpanSnarker: Her first scene shows that she's very deadpan. |
| 276 | -->'''Maude:''' How've you been? \ |
| 277 | '''Trevor:''' Oh! Simply wonderful! And you? \ |
| 278 | '''Maude:''' ''(in a deadpan monotone)'' About the same. Somewhere between joyful and peachy. |
| 279 | * TheDreaded: For [[NoodleIncident reasons unknown to us]], the bail bond suspects become quite frightened when Trevor merely mentions her name (on the journey back to her trailer; assuming Trevor brings them to Maude alive). |
| 280 | * EvilDebtCollector: Runs a bail bond office, and while she herself is affable, she doesn't mind Trevor going full-blown LoanShark on her targets. |
| 281 | * IWasQuiteALooker: She mentions that she was a cheerleader in her younger days. |
| 282 | * MoralityPet: To Trevor, she is one of the few people Trevor is always nice to. He even wishes her luck when she decides to retire in order to start a family. |

| 289 | [[caption-width-right:250:Josef]] |
| 290 | |
| 291 | Joe and Josef, an idiot redneck and his deluded Russian comrade, respectively, that run their own two-man "civil border patrol group," getting Trevor to help out several times. While they claim to be protecting America from illegal aliens, it's clear that they're just using it as an excuse to harass foreigners. |
| 292 | ---- |
| 293 | * AgeGapRomance: Josef is married to Janet, the bartender of the Yellow Jack Inn. Trevor points out that Josef is young enough to be Janet's son. |
| 294 | * AssholeVictim: Two racist shitheels who harass Hispanic people drunk on their own power.[[spoiler:Trevor eventually hunts them down, and oh, they ''sooo'' had it coming.]] |
| 295 | * AxCrazy: They're considered ''complete nutjobs'' by [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Trevor himself]], [[spoiler:who quickly cuts ties with them, regrets his association, and later kills them both.]] |
| 296 | * BoomerangBigot: Josef isn't a Latino, but he's clearly an immigrant [[TheUnintelligible who can't speak a lick of English]]. In spite of that, he supports Joe's AbsoluteXenophobe policy of deporting migrants, and bellows {{Eagleland}} phrases (''in Russian'') without any trace of irony or self-awareness. |
| 297 | * CommieNazis: Ironically invoked with Josef: he's Russian, [[ThoseWackyNazis but he salutes by raising his arm in a very NON-communist way...]] |
| 298 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Josef first makes an appearance in the mission "Trevor Philips Industries" as one of the drunkards in the bar fight at the beginning. |
| 299 | * FunWithSubtitles: Josef says the most [[AbsoluteXenophobe Xenophobic]] (and [[BoomerangBigot by design]] [[HypocriticalHumor hypocritical]]) phrases ("I defend this country from multiculturalism!"), and occasionally mixes up his {{Eagleland}}-isms with ''British'' platitudes ("For king and country!" "God save the Queen!") and the French national motto ("Liberty! Fraternity! Equality!")[[note]]And the latter phrase goes in the order "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity", so technically, he doesn't even get ''that'' right.[[/note]] |
| 300 | * HeteronormativeCrusader: Joe implies that his brother used to be homosexual before he sorted him out. Now he is married and has three kids (and he almost never acts out these days). |
| 301 | * HiddenDepths: Josef almost immediately keys in on the fact that Trevor is Canadian, and even considers his usual method of dealing with "multi-culturals". [[BerserkButton Good thing Trevor doesn't speak Russian]]. That said, the use of this trope is by no means an indicator of intelligence: Josef is every bit as moronic as his redneck comrade. |
| 302 | * HypocriticalHumor: Joe is an {{Eagleland}} AbsoluteXenophobe, but is best friends with a clearly Russian man (and [[TheUnintelligible one who speaks LESS English than the "illegals" they hassle]]), while Josef is even more so by being just as xenophobic, in spite of being about as American as [[Film/RockyIV Ivan Drago]]. |
| 303 | * ImmigrantPatriotism: A very dark example with Josef. While deep loyalty to one's adopted country is usually an admirable trait in an immigrant, Josef is a ultranationalistic, xenophobic, hypocritical bigot. |
| 304 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Ironically, jerkass doesn't ''realize'' he has a point. Josef disdainfully remarks that the illegal immigrants they chase are hard workers fleeing dire circumstances who come to America looking for a better life for themselves and their families. He also seems completely unaware that these are points usually made in ''defense'' of illegal immigrants. |
| 305 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:After tasing a Mexican landowner off his ATV and "arresting" him, said Mexican sends Trevor out to kill them in revenge. They also end up getting killed shortly after they try to "arrest" an innocent family at their farm, and come close to crossing a MoralEventHorizon by drawing (and potentially using) actual guns instead of tasers.]] |
| 306 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:To get the gold medal for the last mission, you need [[HoistByHisOwnPetard to zap both of them with the stun gun]] before killing them. The objective is called "What Comes Around".]] |
| 307 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Joe and Josef come across as pretty goofy all around, and though Trevor [[EvenEvilHasStandards really doesn't like them]], he helps them a couple of times for [[OnlyInItForTheMoney money]] and amusement. [[spoiler:Then in the last mission, they round up an entire family of immigrants, pull out real guns, and will murder them if the player doesn't get the Minute Men first.]] |
| 308 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: They claim to be protecting the United States from potential security risks, but it's obvious that they just want an excuse to harass people they're prejudiced against. |
| 309 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: A pair of racist rednecks who attack anyone they think is an illegal immigrant. |
| 310 | * PsychoElectro: They don't have actual powers, but their weapons of choice are Tasers, and they are ''quite'' insane. |
| 311 | * RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Both characters are a complete pastiche of the alt-right. Played with regarding Josef, who is a Russian instead of the redneck most people associate with these groups. |
| 312 | * SubParSupremacist: One interaction with Joe is enough to make it perfectly clear that he's a racist, xenophobic asshole whose idea of "protecting" America is bullying and harassing immigrants, legal or otherwise, and is too stupid to care that his partner in crime is a Russian who barely speaks English. Speaking of, Josef considers himself a red-blooded American, but doesn't know as much about his adopted homeland as he thinks he does, mistakenly uses British and French patriotic phrases. |
| 313 | * ThouShaltNotKill: They tell Trevor ''not'' to kill the people they're arresting, and give him the Taser to non-lethally take down their targets. {{Subverted}} in that they do it so they can legally hassle their immigrant victims [[spoiler: and their last mission has them drawing actual guns on the innocent family they were about to arrest, meaning they probably would've violated this one rule if [[SpannerInTheWorks Trevor hadn't shown up to kill them first]].]] |
| 314 | * TheUnintelligible: Josef speaks maybe four words of English (and although he understands it, he doesn't seem to be aware that nobody else can't understand his Russian -- or that he's speaking Russian at all!), but be damned [[{{Eagleland}} if he isn't a patriot!]] |

| 319 | |

| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * ButtMonkey: He was tazed and knocked off his ATV by Trevor. |
| 323 | * CoolOldGuy: Almost every character in the game is terrified of [[TheDreaded Trevor]]. This guy however, stands up to Trevor without fear, ''even with a gun to his head''. He orders Trevor to get rid of the Minute Men without pay and Trevor backs down. |
| 324 | * GoodCounterpart: He is this to the Minute Men. The Minute Men are a bunch of lunatics who gloat about their heritage and use it as an excuse to harass people for shits and giggles, and pay Trevor to help them [[spoiler: and run like cowards when Trevor goes after them]]. Manuel is a guy who doesn't boast about heritage, is a proud hard-working man, and who doesn't even tremble when Trevor puts a gun to his head, and orders him to do the ''right'' thing for free. |
| 325 | * {{Irony}}: Manuel is actually an American citizen (also a native-born to be precise) who was mistaken as an illegal immigrant by The Minute Men, yet portrayed as more reasonable and less boastful than them. |
| 326 | * MoralityPet: To ''Trevor'' of all people. In that he's one of the few people to make him feel genuinely guilty about his {{Jerkass}} behavior. |
| 327 | * NervesOfSteel: Doesn't flinch even when Trevor puts a gun to his head. |
| 328 | * OnlySaneMan: One of the few rational, non-criminal characters in the game. He also understands that the Minute Men's patriotism is a crock. |

| 334 | ---- |
| 335 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Should Trevor kill him.]] |
| 336 | * BadLiar: Has a very noticeable quaver and stiffness in his voice during the last phone call, signaling that he's about to run to the police. |
| 337 | * CuttingOffTheBranches: In later updates for "Online" that take place after the main story of V, one of the missions you can do reveals that Josh's house has been repaired and someone else was living there, [[spoiler:implying that Trevor canonically killed Josh in "Breach Of Contract".]] |
| 338 | * InsuranceFraud: In the mission ''Surreal Estate'', Trevor has to torch Josh's foreclosed mansion so he can collect the insurance money rather than the bank. |
| 339 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Should Trevor kill him. Killing him is required to earn a gold medal for the mission ''Breach of Contract''.]] |
| 340 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: If Trevor lets him get away.]] |
| 341 | * {{Slimeball}}: He's a dirtbag real estate agent who hires Trevor to sabotage his former partner's business and assault him while pimping his wife out to Trevor. Later, he tries backstabbing Trevor by accusing him of being a stalker to two cops. |
| 342 | * TooDumbToLive: After Trevor helps him out, he [[UngratefulBastard tries selling Trevor out]] to the cops to cover his ass. |

| 346 | |
| 347 | A pair of elderly British citizens vacationing in Los Santos, hunting for "Vinewood souvenirs" (a.k.a., a bunch of crap once owned by movie stars). They mistake Trevor for stuntman-turned-politician John "Jock" Cranley, and talk him into helping collect their checklist of "souvenirs". |
| 348 | ---- |
| 349 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: They're in Los Santos to stalk celebrities. They also have no problem with getting a total stranger to beat up, kill, mug and harass celebrities they "love" on their behalf. |
| 350 | * AffablyEvil: They may seem like a couple of quirky but kindly people, but their stalker tendencies alone mean they aren't as harmless as they seem. And that's before you get into their darker sides... |
| 351 | * CloudCuckooLander: They're both clearly not too in touch with reality, mistaking Trevor for a celebrity even after he tells them who he really is, and thinking that [[spoiler:an actor they admire wouldn't mind being abducted in their lock-up for a few days]]. Trevor himself considers them to be far more deranged than he is; unlike the Minute Men, however, he's impressed with their commitment to total insanity, and begins to enjoy their company by the end of their missions. |
| 352 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: They're really into celebrity "memorabilia," no matter how disgusting it is. [[spoiler:They eventually get Trevor to help them to briefly "collect" a real celebrity.]] |
| 353 | * DirtyOldMan: |
| 354 | ** It's suggested that they're ''both'' rather dirty, but Nigel in particular asks Trevor for a hug, and while pressed against him, informs him that he has a protruding hip. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not a semi]]. He also says that Mrs. Thornhill will have him wear a dog collar Trevor has collected in the bedroom, although he (unconvincingly) claims to be joking immediately after. |
| 355 | ** [[spoiler:Al [=DiNapoli=] mentions with horror that both of them apparently did unspeakably creepy things with him while he was held hostage, including "fucked-up parlor games" and performing weird foot fetish stuff on Mrs. Thornhill. Trevor congratulates him for it.]] |
| 356 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: They seen quite alarmed when Al [=DiNapoli=] drives through a hospital when driving away from them.]] |
| 357 | --> '''Nigel''': Is he going ''through'' the hospital?!\ |
| 358 | '''Mrs. Thornhill''': "Oh my lord!" |
| 359 | * EvilBrit: These old British people have no qualms about having [[AxCrazy Trevor]] killing, stealing from or otherwise tormenting celebrities they love. |
| 360 | * EvilOldFolks: While their victim Al [=DiNapoli=] is hardly an unbiased source, it's implied that the two are neither as harmless or oblivious as they might first appear. If Trevor [[spoiler:kills [=DiNapoli=]]], Nigel is perfectly fine with it, and slyly denies ever having met him at all. |
| 361 | * HeroWorshipper: Of celebrities. Upon mistaking Trevor for Jock Cranley, they both chant, "We're not worthy!" |
| 362 | * InsistentTerminology: Nigel always refers to his companion as "Mrs. Thornhill" - not just because he's a proper sort of chap, but also because he isn't really "Mr. Thornhill". |
| 363 | * PlatonicLifePartners: They're not married, they're just two messed up British old folks who love celebrity nonsense, and go around together because of that. |
| 364 | * QuintessentialBritishGentleman: And they're not even married - they just bonded over their shared love of celebrity ephemera and ran away together. |

| 370 | |
| 371 | Trevor's mother, who shows up at his trailer after the game is finished. She asks him to steal a van full of painkillers for her. [[spoiler: She is implied to have been a hallucination]]. |
| 372 | ---- |
| 373 | * TheCameo: Speculated to be voiced and mocap-ed by actress Geraldine Moffat, the real life mother of Rockstar founders Sam and Dan Houser. |

| 375 | %%* EvilRedhead |
| 376 | * KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Not on her own, but the fact that Trevor seemed fairly sober while hallucinating her indicates his mental health issues are even worse than they appear on the surface]]. |

| 378 | * MyBelovedSmother[=/=]EvilMatriarch: Incredibly overbearing and demeaning to Trevor, rubbing his failures in his face. Then she asks him to steal a truckload of drugs... |
| 379 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Appears to be only slightly older than Trevor himself, which either makes her an AbsurdlyYouthfulMother or [[spoiler: indicates that she [[DeadAllAlong died long before the game's events]].]] |
| 380 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: ''Incredibly'', her dialect switches between English, Scottish and rural American, ''all in the same conversation.'' [[spoiler: This is likely the first hint that Trevor is hallucinating her.]] |
| 381 | * ParentalIncest: Implied by Trevor's [[BerserkButton severe aversion to the word "motherfucker".]] |
