Devin Weston (Grand Theft Auto V)

Devin Weston is the main antagonist of Grand Theft Auto V. He is a billionaire, a venture capitalist, and investor. He holds a major sharehold on Merryweather, and relies on them to do his dirty work. He tasks Franklin, Michael and Trevor with repo jobs.

Why He's Intentionally A Slick

 * 1) He is a greedy bastard. All he cares about is money. He is like the human version of Mr. Krabs but a lot worse. While Mr. Krabs is greedy, he will care for people at times, this guy does not, just like Mr. Huph.
 * 2) He never pays Franklin, always making him do dangerous tasks without paying him.
 * 3) He blamed Michael for the death of his lawyer, Molly. Even though it wasn't his fault because Molly assumed that Michael was going to kill her and promptly got herself killed. He even goes as far as to call Michael a “deranged killer” during the mission “Legal Trouble” while he was chasing Molly for the reason being because all he just wanted to get his film back.
 * 4) He and Molly set up Franklin, Lamar, and Trevor by tipping off the cops and telling them that they were transporting stolen cars.
 * 5) All he does is lazily sit back, investing in as much money as he can possibly earn.
 * 6) He tried to kill Michael's family by sending Merryweather mercenaries to his house in the mission “Meltdown”.
 * 7) He tried to ruin Michael's dream of becoming an associate producer, but was foiled during the mission “Legal Trouble” when Molly was accidentally killed while trying to escape Los Santos with Michael’s film reel.
 * 8) He is an arrogant and snobbish narcissist, claiming he's better than everyone else.
 * 9) He ordered Franklin to kill Michael because he was "causing problems" in one of the bad endings.
 * 10) He might be racist, as he picks on Franklin frequently.
 * 11) He has an annoying tendency to call people "slick".
 * 12) One of his reasons to hate Trevor Phillips is because of his "smell".
 * 13) At one point makes an inappropriate joke, saying that if Chad Mulligan's Z-Type car were a woman, he would need to break his twenty and under rule and immediately afterwards makes suggestive pelvic moments towards the car.
 * 14) Choosing the option of “Kill Michael” and actually having Franklin put an end to Michael’s life in the following mission “A Time’s Come” at the end of the game effectively allows Devin to get away with putting Michael and his family through so much misery during the game, while single handedly causing Trevor himself and Michael’s family to isolate themselves from Franklin, effectively making Devin a Karma Houdini. Although Rockstar has confirmed that the Option B ending is non-canon to the GTA HD Universe timeline.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) At least he got his comeuppance with him dying in the Option C (Canonical) ending of the game.
 * 2) Devin truly fears Trevor Philips.
 * 3) His act of sending Merryweather Security after Michael's family to avenge Molly's death, while despicable, may be an indicator that deep inside, Devin truly cared for Molly, though he could have also done this because her death made him look like a fool.
 * 4) Thanks to him, we got an awesome story in GTA V between him and Michael.
