He also abandoned his school early, thus explaining why he lacked basic knowledge and had certain “language” issues.

Trevor Phillips was born in Canada, near the Canada/United States border. And considering his anger tendency, it’s safe to say his life is much, much tougher than Michael’s.

For those who haven’t played GTA 5 yet, Trevor Phillips is one of the 3 protagonists of Grand Theft Auto 5 besides Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton.
