Is Trevor (GTA 5) based on Trevor from The Destructors by Graham Greene?


I read the short story by Graham Greene a couple days ago, and the main character named Trevor from the story reminded me a lot of Trevor from Grand Theft Auto 5. For those who read the story did you think that too?

I've now read it - yes it does seem really similar. "T" seems to have the same random love of chaos and inspire the same uneasiness in other around him - he even has the same nickname!

Even the other characters seem similar - if we take Blackie to be Franklin (yeah I know, sounds bad but bear with me) and switch him with Mike's character it bears an uncanny resemblance to the dynamic between the "power structure" of the protagonists in GTA V: Mike ("Blackie") was more or less the dominant character over Franklin ("Mike") until Trevor ("T") came along.
