Playboy X

Background

Playboy X, real name Trey Stewart, is a drug kingpin from North Holland in Grand Theft Auto IV. He came up under Dwayne Forge, and while Dwayne was in prison he took over the business and moved into a luxurious penthouse in Northwood. He sees himself as a modern businessman rather than a street dealer and likes to quote political figures and business ideas.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV

Niko first meets Playboy X during Blow Your Cover, the heroin deal arranged by Elizabeta Torres that becomes a police raid. After Niko gains access to Algonquin, Playboy X becomes an employer. In Deconstruction for Beginners Niko kills a group of men at a construction site on his behalf, and in Photo Shoot Niko uses his new camera phone to identify and kill Marlon Bridges.

Playboy X also introduces Niko to Dwayne Forge, whom he treats as a has-been. In The Holland Play he asks Niko to kill Dwayne, while Dwayne asks Niko to kill Playboy X. If Niko sides with Dwayne, he kills Playboy X in his penthouse and takes it over as a safehouse along with a jacket and other items. If Niko kills Dwayne, Playboy X pays him for it.

Personality

Playboy X is arrogant, materialistic and image-conscious. He talks about loyalty while showing very little of it, and he resents anyone who reminds him where he came from.
