Dave Norton: Difference between revisions

Dave Norton is a corrupt, but fairly reasonable, agent with the [[Federal Investigation Bureau]]. Agent Norton was assigned to the case against [[Michael De Santa|Michael Townley]] and [[Trevor Philips]]. Prior to the [[Prologue (GTA V)|Ludendorff incident]] in 2004, Agent Norton's career had not been remarkable. During that fateful heist, Norton was at the farm to ambush Michael, Trevor, and their accomplice [[Bradley Snider|Brad Snider]] with a sniper rifle. Norton shoots Michael and Brad while Trevor escaped. Brad died from his gunshot wound while Michael survived. In an off the books plea deal, Michael would fake his death (with Brad buried in his place), assume a new surname and relocate to [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]], while Agent Norton received notoriety for "taking down" Michael and a monthly five-figure kickback, and the two mutually agree not to reveal their secret exchange. Since then, Agent Norton posed as Brad whenever Trevor wrote to him in prison as a means to keep Trevor under observation.

When Michael and his protege [[Franklin Clinton]] [[The Jewel Store Job|rob the Vangelico jewelry store]], Norton comes to Michael's house to warn him that this will attract Trevor's attention; however, Michael is skeptical and believes that Trevor has died sometime after the Ludendorff incident. As Agent Norton warned, Trevor [[Fame or Shame (mission)|shows up unexpectedly at Michael's house]], and Michael calls Agent Norton on how to handle the situation. Agent Norton tells Michael that he has to help him and his superior [[Steve Haines]] in their covert operations against the [[Central Intelligence Agency|International Affairs Agency]], bringing on Trevor and Franklin in the process.
