The playing switching aspect of the game also brings some genuinely funny moments, especially with Trevor in mind. From his opening mission to his last, he’s nothing short of psychopathic on a terrifying level, seemingly, no, definitely enjoying his violent and criminal endeavours, as well as the fear he instils on other characters. In a list of Grand Theft Auto protagonists, you better believe it’s meant as a compliment when describing Trevor Phillips as the most over-the-top, screw loose, sandwich-short-of-a-picnic main character in the franchise, if not all of gaming. Nothing more than a street gangster at the start, he ends up a business entrepreneur with a family, although still involved with a life of crime every now and then if the story in GTA Online is to be considered canon. Franklin Clinton (GTA 5)įranklin is one of three playable characters in the fifth main game, with the already mentioned Michael and the soon-to-be mentioned Trevor being the other two. Unlike the other two protagonists though, Franklin’s story could not be better when comparing where he is, to where he ends up. Voiced by the late, great Ray Liotta, he not only has charisma, but he’s also intimidating when needed. Unlike the previous game Grand Theft Auto III’s Claude, Tommy Vercetti has a voice. A familiar tale of vengeance, betrayal and gut-churning violence later, and you’ve seen everything you need to regarding Tommy Vercetti’s character. Now fifth place isn’t to be sniffed at, and Tommy certainly earns that with a character heavily influenced by Scarface, among other 80s gangster flicks. If this was an article ranking the various main games themselves, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City would be right up there with it’s tone, atmosphere, soundtrack and characters, but this is purely about the protagonists. Over the course of the game, everything comes unravelled for the man, with his spoiled children showing no respect, his wife flagrantly cheating and that’s without even mentioning the mess Michael finds himself in with Trevor and Franklin. At least before the events of Grand Theft Auto 5 of course. Not many characters, let alone protagonists in the Grand Theft Auto universe retire to live a life of peace and quiet after being career criminals, but this is exactly what Michael did.
