Trey Stewart, better known as Playboy X, is a major character in the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV and a minor character in its 2009 midquel The Lost and Damned.
He is the head of crack cocaine distribution in northern Algonquin, Liberty City, and aims to bring justice to the city and, possibly, the world too. However, his tactics and overall personality are often very underhanded.
He was voiced by Postell Pringle.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Playboy X, born as Trey Stewart, was born in 1983. At some point between 1988 and 1999, he was mentored by gangster Dwayne Forge on how to deal drugs, and taught him the secrets to his own distribution empire. In 1999, Dwayne was incarcerated and Playboy took over his distribution industry. In 2004, he stopped visiting Dwayne in prison, and abandoned him, having no more ambitions to run with him. It was also likely during that point that X decided to expand the business into legitimate sectors, such as construction.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In 2008, Playboy was contacted by drug dealer Elizabeta Torres to help her protect a sale of cocaine with hired gun Niko Bellic, and biker Johnny Klebitz. In Schottler, where the deal is set up, they find out that the buyer Charlie and his crew are actually undercover LCPD officers. Thereafter Playboy and Niko fight their way to the top of the building to escape, killing numerous NOOSE agents in the process.
A few days later, Playboy calls Niko and asks him to help him in getting rid of a bunch of Mafia soldiers on a construction site in Castle Gardens. It is also during this time that Playboy's mentor, Dwayne Forge, is released from jail. While driving to the site, Playboy reveals his plan to gain favour with renowned property developer Yusuf Amir by killing all the Mafia men on the site, as they represent the labour union shutting the site down. Niko eventually kills the Union leaders, while Playboy attempts to persuade Amir into joining him.
Soon enough, after hiring Niko to murder a drug dealer who had been inconveniencing him, Playboy pays Niko to help Dwayne rebuild his life. Later on Dwayne has Niko kill a trio of gangsters called the Trunchez Brothers who took over a strip club he owned before he was jailed. However, this angers Playboy as it turns out that the Trunchez Brothers were his business partners.
Eventually, Playboy summons Niko and asks him to kill Dwayne for him. It is then Dwayne asks Niko to eliminate Playboy, and ultimately Niko is left to decide which of the two he will kill.
If Niko kills Dwayne at his apartment, Playboy pays him $25,000. Possibly having had a change of heart, Playboy tells Niko that Dwayne was like a father to him and tells him to just stay away from him; the two would never speak again.
If Niko goes to kill Playboy, he will attack Playboy's gang before cornering him in an alleyway - in which Playboy tries to shoot him, but finds his gun empty. Playboy surrenders and begs Niko for his life, but Niko executes him for betraying his principles. Afterwards, Dwayne gives Niko the deed of Playboy's penthouse as payment. As such Niko is also given the option to become friends with Dwayne.
Personality[]
Playboy X does not always know what he is talking about, like when he told Niko Bellic that Dubai is in Africa, and that Africa, America, and Dubai are the same (pointing out that Yusuf Amir was raised in Africa when he was raised in Dubai) and judges Johnny Klebitz for racism, when Johnny is not a racist, just because he's in a biker gang. In many conversations with Niko, Playboy X often speaks of himself as a visionary who plans to change things for the better.
Though often talking tough, he is also a cowardly milksop. This is seen many times when Playboy X sends Niko to do his hits for him. The best example is first threatening to kill Niko, but runs away from him instead the second Niko takes out his pistol. Seconds later, after Niko captured him, Playboy tried to convince him into thinking that he showed him the world and "changed the game".

Trivia[]
- If the player decides to kill Playboy instead of Dwayne, Niko will eventually corner him inside of an alleyway where Playboy will try and shoot him, although his pistol will jam and he'll throw his gun down in defeat. Ironically, throwing the gun at the ground will sometimes unjam it, causing it to fire. This shot can sometimes hit Playboy and even has the possibility of killing him before he even has a chance to speak to Niko in the end.
