History
Events of Grand Theft Auto V
Devin Weston is a friend of Steve Haines & owns the majority share of Merryweather Security. After the Merryweather heist, Michael meets Weston at his mansion, and Weston offers Michael a chance to meet Solomon Richards and recieve a giant pile of cash in exchange for helping him find 5 very rare cars. Michael agrees to help, but only if he can have Franklin and Trevor along with him. Agent Haines introduces the protagonists to Weston and he asks them for the 5 cars.
After the protagonists have collected the 5 rare cars, Weston backs out on the payment, which is never recieved by the protagonists. Later on he attempts to have Amanda and Tracey De Santa murdered by Merryweather security during the mission Meltdown in retaliation for the death of his assistant Molly Schultz during the mission Legal Trouble.
Endings
Late in the story he asks Franklin Clinton to kill Michael De Santa, blaming him for interfering with his work. He presents Franklin with three options; options A and B involve following either his orders to kill Michael, or follow Steve Haines' order to kill Trevor Philips, and "option C" would have the entire state going after Franklin.
If Franklin picks option C, then after Michael, Trevor and Franklin kill Haines, Stretch, and Tao Cheng, Trevor abducts Weston from his mansion and puts him in the trunk of his car, which is then pushed off a cliff by Michael, Franklin and Trevor. The car hit the ground below and explodes, killing him.
