Ray Trotman is a character appearing as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Agents of Sabotage update.
History
Background
Ray Trotman is a mogul, philanthropist, and self-proclaimed "art connoisseur". He owns a collection of rare pieces in a secret room in his penthouse in the Maze Bank West building.
At some point in 2020, Trotman stole a valuable piece of art from the San Andreas Gallery of Modern Art, which was only reported missing four years later.
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online
In 2024, Trotman planned to put the stolen piece of art on a black-market auction. Former FIB agent Jodi Marshall receives a tip-off about the auction and sees it as an opportunity. Under guidance of Jodi and Pavel, the GTA Online Protagonist performs a clandestine operation on Trotman's penthouse.
Using a surveillance drone, the GTA Online Protagonist locates Trotman at a party in a random hotel in Los Santos and uses the camera to scan Trotman's face from a distance in order to get past his facial recognition security measures during the operation. Soon after, the targeted piece of art is successfully stolen from a display inside his penthouse, placed on a pressure plate. After collecting the piece of art, the pressure plate triggers an alarm, alerting Trotman's security.
The GTA Online Protagonist manages to escape from Maze Bank West through the parking garage and successfully delivers the piece of art to a dealer in a random location. As mentioned by Jodi after the mission, Trotman posts an angry rant on his Bleeter after the robbery on his penthouse.
