Devin Weston

Background

Devin Weston is a billionaire venture capitalist and one of the main antagonists of Grand Theft Auto V. He made his first fortune during the tech boom and expanded into entertainment, finance and luxury goods. He lives in a heavily guarded mansion in the hills above Chumash, is a close associate of FIB agent Steve Haines and is heavily invested in the private military firm Merryweather Security. His lawyer and fixer is Molly Schultz.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

Devin first crosses paths with Michael and Trevor in By the Book, where he has arranged with Haines to watch the interrogation of Ferdinand Kerimov. After the crew delivers the bonds from Blitz Play at Haines's request, Devin begins offering them work directly.

To Trevor and Franklin he offers a contract to steal five rare cars, which he intends to sell to buyers in China. The jobs include I Fought the Law..., where Michael and Trevor pose as police officers to take two supercars; Eye in the Sky, where Trevor tracks a Z-Type from a police helicopter; Deep Inside, where Franklin steals a JB 700 from a film studio; and Pack Man, where the stolen cars are driven to Paleto Bay on a car carrier. When the job is done Devin refuses to pay, claiming he will "invest" their money.

To Michael he offers a chance to work in film with producer Solomon Richards, whose studio Devin is buying into. Once the studio's value peaks, Devin tries to stop the film Meltdown so he can collect on an insurance policy. In Legal Trouble Michael chases Molly to recover the film reels, and Molly dies in an accident at the airport. Furious, Devin sends Merryweather soldiers to Michael's house during the film's premiere, leading to the rescue in Meltdown. Afterwards he orders Franklin to kill Michael.

In The Time's Come Devin gets his wish and then brushes Franklin off. In The Third Way, Trevor storms his mansion, stuffs him into the trunk of his own car and drives him to a cliff in Blaine County, where the three protagonists push the car over the edge.
