Note del giocatore

Devin Weston è un investitore miliardario e amministratore delegato, le cui proprietà si estendono in tutta San Andreas e includono una quota importante di Merryweather Security. Usa i soldati di Merryweather per proteggere i propri interessi e ha influenza sull'FIB tramite Steve Haines. Michael De Santa e Trevor Philips lo vedono per la prima volta dopo un incontro con Haines durante By the Book, quando Haines autorizza la tortura di Ferdinand Kerimov. Weston ha raggiunto un accordo con Haines, ma non tratta ancora direttamente con i due uomini.

Dopo che Michael, Trevor e Franklin Clinton rapinano un furgone blindato in Blitz Play per Haines e Weston, Weston si presenta e offre loro incarichi separati. Propone a Michael di lavorare con il produttore Solomon Richards a un film, con l'intenzione di aumentare il valore di Richards Majestic Productions. Assume Trevor e Franklin per ottenere cinque rare auto di lusso che intende vendere a funzionari del governo cinese. Lamar Davis aiuta Franklin e Trevor a prendere i veicoli in I Fought the Law, Eye in the Sky, Deep Inside, Minor Turbulence e Pack Man.

Quando Trevor e Franklin consegnano le auto, Weston si rifiuta di pagare il compenso promesso. Dice che investirà invece il loro denaro nella propria compagnia. Allo stesso tempo, si muove contro il lavoro di Michael con Solomon. Weston vuole che lo studio non riesca a completare Meltdown, così da riscuotere una polizza assicurativa, e incarica la sua avvocata Molly Schultz di rimuovere e trattenere la copia del film finché non deciderà di distruggerla.

Michael scopre il piano in Legal Trouble e insegue Molly fino a Los Santos International Airport. Molly va nel panico mentre cerca di sfuggirgli e viene uccisa dalla turbina di un aereo, con la copia ancora in suo possesso. Weston incolpa Michael per la sua morte. Alla prima di Meltdown, dice a Michael che Merryweather sta dando la caccia ad Amanda e Tracey De Santa. Michael e Jimmy De Santa corrono di nuovo alla casa dei De Santa e aiutano a difendere la famiglia dagli aggressori.

Dopo il fallimento dell'assalto, Weston avvicina Franklin e gli ordina di uccidere Michael. Franklin dice che Haines gli ha ordinato di uccidere Trevor. La sua decisione determina il destino di Weston. Se Franklin segue Haines in Something Sensible, lui e Michael uccidono Trevor. Franklin dice poi a Haines di aver risparmiato Michael, e Haines afferma che si occuperà di Weston perché Merryweather ha perso la licenza statale. Se Franklin sceglie la richiesta di Weston in The Time's Come, insegue e uccide Michael.

Dopo la morte di Michael, Franklin chiama Weston e gli chiede di impedire a Haines di reagire per la sopravvivenza di Trevor. Weston dice di aver già contattato i superiori di Haines. Quando Franklin chiede altro lavoro, Weston afferma che l'omicidio era il suo ultimo incarico e lo congeda. In The Third Way, Franklin si unisce invece a Michael e Trevor. Lester Crest porta gli associati dell'FIB di Haines e una forza di Merryweather in una fonderia, dove i tre uomini annientano la forza che aveva protetto Haines e Weston.

Dopo che Michael, Franklin e Trevor hanno sistemato Haines, Wei Cheng e Stretch, Trevor attacca la villa di Weston a Tongva Hills. Weston cerca di nascondersi dentro una cassa, ma Trevor lo trova, lo mette fuori combattimento e lo carica nel bagagliaio dell'auto di Weston. Trevor guida fino a una scogliera di Blaine County, dove Michael e Franklin lo raggiungono. I tre fanno precipitare l'auto oltre il bordo. L'auto si schianta sulle rocce, raggiunge acque poco profonde ed esplode, uccidendo Weston.

Curiosità

◆Weston's favorite radio station is Los Santos Rock Radio, as seen when the player enters his Tornado in The Third Way. It could also imply that WorldWide FM is his favorite too, as it can be heard in his mansion at night.
◆Weston has holdings in Richards Majestic Productions, the country of Greece, the Los Santos Corkers Baseball Team, Merryweather Security, the Die Already 4 movie franchise, Banner Hotel & Spa, Dynasty 8 Real Estate, Vanilla Unicorn, Universal Uniform, Toe Shoes, Al Dente's, Bourgeoix Cognac, Nogo Vodka, Patriot Beer, Debonaire Cigarettes, Orang-O-Tang, Mollis, Good Aids, San Andreas Lotto, Pharte Gas, Lando-Corp, Los Santos Department of Nuclear Power, Pump & Run Gymnasium, Lobon Sportswear, Save-A-Cent, Skiver Construction Corporation and Squeeze One Out.
◆He has his own website: www.bedevinweston.com.
◆When exporting a car to a specialist dealer during the Vehicle Cargo mission in GTA Online, the vehicle might be sent to Weston's mansion.
◆According to his website, he has a net worth of $12 billion and a 9 inch long penis. Given his boastful nature, either one or both of these claims might be an exaggeration.
◆Devin Weston is possibly based on the American business magnate Howard Hughes. They were both billionaire businessmen with their hands in Hollywood, investments and were airplane enthusiasts.
◆Weston has a lot in common with Avon Hertz.
◆They are both American billionaires who have very high opinions of themselves, as well as a tendency to think of others as inferior or distasteful.
◆In the mission I Fought the Law..., Weston mocks Franklin Clinton at their first meeting because of the latter's background and appearance, stating that "I'm rich enough to do whatever the fuck I want, and you're poor enough not to ask me any goddamn stupid questions".
◆Hertz dislikes the poor and claims to care only about the interests of the rich. During the mission Setup: Salvage Hard Drives, he tells Lester about his "vision" for the future. Foreseeing a world where armored vehicles, like the RCV, will be "everywhere" once the white collar jobs dry up and the situation starts looking grim for humane society. Private security will represent the new "law and order" as it serves to protect the interests of the "privileged" few. Lester counters by claiming that he is supportive of the idea of basic income. Hertz responds by laughing it off and saying "That'll at least keep the peasants happy."
◆They both have power/control over formidable, well-equipped private armies.
◆Weston has Merryweather Security. Although he is not in charge of the PMC, Weston controls a significant portion of Merryweather's stock, making him a major shareholder and partial owner.
◆Hertz has the Cliffford Mercenaries. He is also allied with Merryweather.
◆They are both affiliated with the United States Government in some way.
◆Weston is "friends" with FIB agent Steve Haines, the secondary antagonist of GTA V. Haines says Weston is a good friend of his in the mission By the Book. However, when Weston visits Franklin at his house, he refers to Haines as a "clown" he would not employ in shopping malls owned by him and explains how easy it would be to end his career, suggesting what Weston truly thinks of Haines. In Ending B, Franklin kills Michael De Santa on Weston's behalf, but incurs the wrath of Haines for not killing Trevor Philips. Franklin calls Weston to inform him of this and Weston tells Franklin that he has already contacted Haines' superiors and ensured that Haines would back down before telling Franklin that he is of no further use.
◆Hertz associates himself with the IAA until he betrays them at the end of the mission The Bogdan Problem.
◆They both display highly sociopathic tendencies.
◆In the mission Meltdown, Weston seeks revenge against Michael De Santa, and dispatches Merryweather in a home invasion of Michael's house to kill his family. By doing so, Weston clearly violates and disregards the laws and norms of society by employing ruthless mercenaries to trespass on private property and commit murder against unarmed civilians.
◆In the mission The Doomsday Scenario, Hertz, Cliffford, and their private army take over an abandoned nuclear missile base inside Mount Chiliad that had been operational at the height of the Cold War. Hertz then has Cliffford hack into the base's missile system so that he can start a nuclear war and kill virtually all human life on Earth with the ultimate goal of remaking the planet in his image.
◆They are both cowards and they both die in explosions.
◆In Grand Theft Auto V s canon ending, Weston is confronted at his home by Trevor Philips. Immediately after the shooting starts, he hides in a trunk by the swimming pool and orders his Merryweather bodyguards to fight off Trevor. After Trevor kills the entourage, he locates Weston and forces him into the trunk of a car before driving it to the edge of a cliff in Blaine County. There, Trevor, Michael, and Franklin reconvene before proceeding to gloat to Weston about their victory and his defeat. The three protagonists finally push the car over the cliff and it crashes repeatedly into several rocks along the way until finally exploding after hitting the shallow waters below.
◆When the confronts him, Hertz tries to flee in a Thruster. He manages to escape from Mount Chiliad, but is pursued and, in desperation, throws the last of his men at the protagonist in Akulas and Buzzard Attack Choppers, before he is incinerated by a homing missile.
