Description
Travis Rashguard is the current owner of Weazel News.

His name is Travis Rashguard. He’s a veteran news reporter, anchorman actually, for Weazel News Entertainment. In fact, he’ll claim that he's been working at Weazel since Ted Weaber and Francis Zeller were printing newspapers in their garage. Some people even speculate that he was the company's first-ever summer intern. If asked, he’d describe himself as both an artist and philanthropist, hailing from the “highest echelons of the local aristocracy”. It’s notable that he is, as he claims, the beneficiary of his families’ fortune. The reality of his financial situation is unfortunately much less exciting. However, that doesn’t prevent him from keeping up appearances. Perhaps he enjoyed a certain level of affluence at one point in his life, but those days are long gone. Travis is, however, entirely unaware of this.

His features could perhaps only be described as… memorable. He’s been called a “pointy” man in the past because of his birdlike features and hooked nose. Unfortunately, he was born without eyebrows but is more than happy to paint them on every morning with a makeup marker. He has a curly mustache, tight, auburn-colored beard, and haircut. He always dresses with the signature Weazel grey with just a dash of red from his trusty scarf.

Travis's scarf is something of an oddity in itself. An initial glance might receive the impression that it’s just an old red scarf. Upon further inspection though, one might notice that it’s not really a scarf… It’s more of a shawl, or as some have even speculated a towel. Travis's trusty garment has been with him since even before his first days as a young news reporter. It was with him when the iron curtain came down. It was upon his shoulders in Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia during his two press tours in the gulf war. He was once forced to use it as an improvised garrotte while being held as a PoW during the Iraq “conflict”. Travis’s scarf is his signature, his friend, tool, companion, and so much more. It’s also worth noting that it’s completely filthy from years of work.

Travis' most definable quality is perhaps his indomitable attachment to reporting local and national news. It’s one of the two measurable achievements in his life. The other being, of course, the family business, Rashguard Industries LLC; Purveyors of groundbreaking products such as The Ass Purse, The **** Splint, and Talcum Powder #5. Rashguard Industries has indeed enjoyed a fair amount of success over the last few decades. Unfortunately though, Travis' share in the company was stolen from him by his brother, Weyland, some years ago. He’s quite vexed about this and more than willing to discuss it in great detail if ever asked. Although he’s quite determined to gain back his share of the family fortune, it pales in comparison with his desire to deliver news to the fair citizens of Los Santos. He’s a newsman, plain and simple.
