=== History ===
A lot of Trevor Philips’ early history is speculative. It is noted that he was born in Canada, near the border, presumably in Saskatchewan or Manitoba, or as he described it, “the Canadian border region of America.” Trevor’s childhood was an unhappy one. His father was abusive, his mother was abusive mentally, and he had a brother, Ryan, whom he was not fond of. His father and Ryan died, while his mother eventually went to prison for an unknown charge, possibly drug use or prostitution. Trevor grew up to be a hardened criminal, having killed animals and hitchhikers.
Trevor eventually enlisted in the Air Force and had a skill of flying jets. However, before he could be sent off to war, he was grounded for life due to his mental instability, crushing his hopes and dreams. However, he eventually became a skilled smuggler across the Canadian border.
=== Meeting Michael Townley ===
During a contract, Trevor was hired by two men, one of them was fellow criminal Michael Townley, the other was an unnamed older man. When the trio met, the older man was considerably rude and disrespectful towards the young Michael, causing Trevor to lose his temper and fire a flare gun into his skull, marking his first ever kill. Both were disgusted and horrified and dumped his body in a lake. However, this marked an unstable partnership, the two becoming an unstoppable duo in robbing banks and cash depots, beginning their effective criminal careers up until 2004.
Eventually, Michael and Trevor wound up in the Ludendorff area of North Yankton. Around the 1990’s, Trevor became an honorary uncle to Michael’s children, Tracey and Jimmy, whom he had with a prostitute and stripper named Amanda. However, Trevor, although loved his honorary niece and nephew, noted that Michael “grew soft” with his young family in his career. This would later spark an event that would affect the two for years to come. At some point, the two came into contact with Brad Snider, a fellow robber, whom Trevor grew close to.
=== The Failed Cash Depot Robbery of Ludendorff, 2004 ===
Around 2004, Trevor, Michael, and Brad engaged in a robbery that was doomed to fail at a cash depot outside of Ludendorff. The recovery of the money was easy enough, but Trevor was forced to dispatch a guard who took Michael hostage. The trio engaged in a shootout with the police and then escaped to their escape vehicle. During the escape, the driver was shot in front of them, forcing Michael to take the wheel. The trio then drove to where they planned to have a helicopter fly them away, barely surviving being smashed by a train in the process. However, as the trio looked for the chopper, a man suddenly shot Brad, who got in the way of Trevor. As Michael inspected Brad and insisted that he was going to be fine, he too was suddenly shot. Before supposedly dying, he told Trevor to run. This angered Trevor and he fired upon the police until he was nearly overwhelmed. He ran away, taking an older lady hostage before running off into a snowy field, being shot at. Trevor’s fate was left unclear for nearly a decade. Unbeknownst to Trevor, Michael survived while Brad succumbed to the gunshot wound. Michael was placed in “witness protection” while Brad was buried in Michael’s place.
