Having learned about the murder of his mother, Carl returns home from Liberty City to Los Santos. There he learns another news - the Grove Street Families, the Johnson family gang, which was one of the strongest groups in the city several years ago, has almost completely lost control over the streets. In addition, the police department wants to pin the murder of a policeman on Karl, which he did not commit. The main character will have to go through many trials and adventures in the vast state of San Andreas. Despite persecution from corrupt cops, betrayal of friends, death of loved ones and the insidious intentions of mafia bosses, Karl defends the honor of his family with dignity.

Sean "Sweet" Johnson

The older brother of the main character of the game - Carl Johnson. Sean holds Carl responsible for the death of their younger brother Brian. Sweet is the head of the Grove Street Families gang and is respected by the Grove Street Families. At the same time, he has many enemies in other groups. It is to him that CJ must prove his worth and the right to fight for the honor of the family.

Kendl Johnson

Sister Carla. Kendle constantly quarrels with her older brother Sean and is clearly not happy that Carl left for Liberty City, leaving the family at a difficult time. She is head over heels in love with Caesar Vialpando from an influential Latin group in Los Santos. After the death of her mother, Kendl fell on the shoulders of taking care of the house and brothers.

Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris

An old friend of the Johnson family, one of the most influential figures in the Orange Grove Families. Despite excess weight, Smoke often carries out dirty operations that require physical strength and dexterity. Melvin is an independent figure in the gang, so he conducts his own business in San Fierro without the consent of Shawn Johnson.

Lance "Ryder" Wilson

Ryder is Carl's longtime friend and Shawn Johnson's right-hand man. He carries out all the bloody and important assignments in the gang and has a very high authority among the “Roshchinskys”. Together with Ryder, CJ will get into more than one scrape.

Cesar Vialpando

Almost all of Caesar's body is decorated with tattoos. Perhaps this is what helped him win the heart of Candle, Carl Johnson's sister. Caesar is obsessed with cars, he is especially interested in stealing expensive sports cars and extravagant ones. Vialpando is one of the authorities in the Los Santos group Varios Los Aztecas. Having overcome the initial hostility, Caesar and CJ become friends and do a lot of dirty deeds together.

Wu Zi Mu

Like most Asians, Wu is calm and focused. His friends call him simply “Woozie,” but underneath his frivolous nickname he is the ruthless leader of the Mountain Cloud Boys, the group that runs the affairs of San Fierro.

Even complete blindness does not bother him. Over the years, he managed to adapt to the eternal darkness and seriously develop his other senses. Today Wu Zi Mu is known as one of the best racing drivers and a successful golfer. His goals: to develop the empire of his boss Ran Fa Ly, destroy his opponents from the Vietnamese gang The Da Nang Boys and lead the Red Gecko Tong triad.

Officer Frank Tenpenny

Frank Tenpenny is one of two corrupt Los Santos police officers who are trying in every possible way to ruin Karl's life. He is distinguished by his particular cruelty and disregard for everything except the criminal empire he created. Tenpenny is officially the head of C.R.A.S.H. - Department for Combating Organized Crime. Unofficially, he is engaged in underground business: racketeering, drug trafficking, bribery of officials, violence. Another cop helps him in this - officer Eddie Pulaski.

Officer Eddie Pulaski

Officer Pulaski is the second in command of C.R.A.S.H, and it is he who helps Frank Tenpenny run his shadow business. He hates Karl fiercely, which, however, does not prevent him from collaborating with the “boss”. Their latest operation is the murder of detective Pendelbury, who was trying to bring the criminal couple to clean water. It was this corpse that the corrupt cops “hung” on Carl Johnson.

Minor characters

Officer Jimmy Hernandez

Jimmy is a new employee of the C.R.A.S.H department. He strived to be an honest cop, but Pulaski and Tenpenny involved him in their dirty deeds. Hernandez disagrees with his bosses' methods, but keeps his mouth shut. At the end of the game this will still count towards him.

Ran Fa Li

He is also "Farley", the head of the Red Gecko Tong, one of the largest triads in San Fierro. Ran Fa Ly's main enemies are the Vietnamese bandits from The Da Nang Boys, who have already managed to destroy one of the triads and are now targeting Red Gecko Tong. However, Farley also has ill-wishers among his allies...

Su Xi Mu

Also known by the nickname "Susie". Another person from the triads, the right hand of Wu Zi Mu. Su Zi Mu runs a bookmaker's office in San Fierro Chinatown. Su's main opponents are the Vietnamese from the gang The Da Nang Boys. Zero, the owner of an electronic toy store, was spotted among the contacts.

Zero

Owner of an electronic toy store in the Garcia district of San Fierro. However, Zero believes that he is not just selling toys, but smaller copies of real vehicles, controlled by remote control.

The Truth

The man's name says it all: a peaceful hippie quietly floating along the river of life. The Truth drives a stupid minivan called The Mothership and is friends with Jethro and Dwayne, both hippies like himself. Unfortunately, Pravda is doing business with Officer Tenpenny, and this, of course, will negatively affect his future fate.

Catalina

Caesar's cousin. Yes, yes, it was against her that we fought in Liberty City! As it turns out during the course of the game, betrayal, deceit, secrecy and thirst for money distinguished Catalina already in her youth. The aspiring bitch settled in a squalid shack in Red County, away from prying eyes. Her yard is a small cemetery. As we already know, Catalina's favorite pastime is organizing robberies.

As the plot progresses, she will involve the main character in her dirty deeds. Despite the boorish attitude that Catalina shows towards Carl, she truly loves him. Alas, a breakup is inevitable. Her next victory on the love front is... do you remember the main character? GTA 3? So, now we finally know his name - Claude. It is with him that Catalina intends to move to Liberty City.

Claude

Talented race car driver, also known as the "tongueless snake" and the main character GTA 3. This nickname is a constant reminder of his muteness. Together with Catalina, Claude intends to move to Liberty, and we already know how their story will end. There is absolutely no need for voice acting for obvious reasons.

Mark "B-Dup" Wayne

B-Dup recently moved to the Glen Park area - the territory of The Ballas gang. According to rumors, Mark has retired from criminal matters, but in fact continues to be involved in drug trafficking. He often hangs out with Barry “Big Bear” Thorne.

Jeffery “OG Loc” Martin

Young rapper and member of the OGF gang. Jeffrey’s criminal career can hardly be called solid, but he has already been to prison. Once freed, OG Loc recorded a rap album called "Straight from Tha Streetz", and now Jeffrey's thoughts are all about music. Some claim that Martin is the worst rapper in history, others consider him a real discovery in the genre. Unfortunately, competition from Madd Dogg prevents him from becoming a full-fledged star.

Madd Dogg

Madd Dogg is a state legend, one of the best rappers and producers on the West Coast. After the tragic death of his manager, Dogg became depressed and quickly became addicted to alcohol and drugs. His luxurious villa in the hills of Vinewood costs a fortune. Madd Dogg has been linked to the Vagos gang, and was even forced to give up his mansion for drug debts. His most famous albums are “Huslin’ Like Gangstaz”, “Still Madd” and “Forty Dogg”. OJ Lock's main competitor and sworn enemy.

Maccer

A former member of the Gurning Chimps, Macker is now a recording artist. He was born in Salford (UK), later moved to Manchester, where he became interested in show business. Macker invented own style- “extremely baggy”, managing to break every conceivable musical rule.

Known for his addiction to drugs and sadomasochism, as well as his personal Internet site located at http://www.maccer.net. His circle of acquaintances includes Kent Paul and Ken Rosenberg.

Kent Paul

We first met Kent in GTA: Vice City. After leaving the City of Vice, Paul moved to San Andreas, became addicted to drugs, and now he often takes doses in the company of his friend Macker. Kent maintains friendship with his old acquaintance - former lawyer Ken Rosenberg, whom he met back in Vice City.

Ken Rosenberg

Rosenberg is another character familiar to us from Vice City. Having lost his job as a lawyer, Ken began to look for his old friends, but attempts to reach Tommy Vercetti were unsuccessful, and Ken fell under the influence of Don Salvatore Leone.

Rosenberg is now the manager of Caligula's Palace Casino in Las Venturas. His establishment found itself at the very center of the confrontation between the Leone, Sindacco and Forelli families, fighting for control of the gambling business in the city. Ken remains neutral, but if one side wins, the others will settle scores with him.

Salvatore Leone

Are you saying Leone is dead? Yes, this is true, but do not forget that events GTA: San Andreas takes place in 1992, almost a dozen years before GTA 3. Even then, Don Salvatore was an influential man. His clan is fighting with the Sindacco family for the right to control the Caligula's Palace casino in Las Venturas. Not long ago, the Forelli group also joined the conflict.

Jethro and Dwaine

After Tommy Vercetti bought their boathouse in Vice City, Jethro and Dwayne headed to San Andreas. Jethro became addicted to drugs, and Duane made a living selling hot dogs in San Fierro. Things weren't going well for the friends until C.J. showed up. Our hero offered them a job in one of the garages in the Dougherty area.

Mike Toreno

An undercover CIA agent who heads the Loco syndicate. This organization has nothing to do with protecting workers' rights, but is one of the state's criminal groups. Toreno has many enemies, and Mike often uses Karl to eliminate them. Toreno has connections with T-Bone Mendez, Jizzy B, Ryder and Smoke.

Jizzy B

Jizzy helps the Loco syndicate do shady business, but is unhappy with his share. In addition, he also has a personal business - the nightlife club Jizzy's Pleasure Domes in San Fierro. Most of his profit comes from pimping. Seen in association with T-Bone Mendez, Mike Toreno and other drug traffickers.

T-Bone Mendez

Native to northern Mexico. Mendez does the dirty work for the Loco syndicate. This thug has several corpses to his name, so any conflicts with him can be fatal. T-Bone works primarily with Mike Toreno, but also has his own drug business with Latin gangs in San Fierro, heading up Rifa.

Any time (but not during a mission). When the character is not being played, he goes about his daily affairs. Some missions in GTA 5 require only one character, some require two, and on some missions three heroes go at once. During missions where the hero is not alone, sometimes it will be necessary to switch. The presence of several characters at once plays an important role in the structure of tasks, which makes the gameplay richer.

In this IGN article, Andrew Goldfab wrote: “During missions, players will be able to combine the efforts of all three characters, each with a different set of skills. For example, during one robbery, Michael climbs down the side of a building while Franklin covers him from afar with a sniper rifle, and Trevor flies nearby in a helicopter. Players can switch back and forth between Michael, who "rummages around" inside the building, and Franklin, who "takes down" enemies. At the end, you can switch to Trevor, pick up everyone and escape in a helicopter, or shoot all the enemy pilots as Michael. Well, or drive away in a car, shooting backwards for Michael.”

Michael De Santa

Successful bank robber. “Retired” and now lives comfortably under the witness protection program. He has a difficult relationship with his wife Amanda, and his children Tracy and Jimmy are constantly doing something that defies understanding. He used to do robbery with Trevor.

He hangs out with his abnormal and childish friends, his best friend name is Lamar. Having met Michael, he sees how different life can be. Then he lights up with the desire to leave the streets forever and get rich.

Trevor Philips

A crazy drug addict, a former military pilot who now lives in a trailer in the middle of the desert. He definitely doesn't have everything at home. Trevor grew up in Canada, but apparently lived most of his life in the US, so he speaks with a slight accent. Prior to release, this character was named "Simon".

List Grand characters Theft Auto: San Andreas

In all the different missions and scenes of the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , set in 1992, many characters. The most notable ones are listed here in order of appearance. The order in which some of these characters appear in the game depends on the order in which the player completes certain missions.

Like other games in the series Grand Theft Auto, many characters were voiced by veterans crime films, like Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction and Frank Vincent. Prominent West Coast rappers such as MC Eiht, Ice T, Kid Frost and The Game also provide the voices for some of the game's characters.

Central characters

Carl "CJ" Johnson

First appears in: "Introduction"(airport scene).

Carl Johnson nicknamed “CJ” (CJ, short for his name, English Carl Johnson) is the main character of the game. One of the leaders of the African-American street gang "Grove Street Families" in the city of Los Santos. After the death of his younger brother Brian in 1987, Carl leaves Los Santos and moves to Liberty City. There he works for Joey, the son of mafia don Salvatore Leone. In 1992, Karl returned to hometown, having learned from his older brother Sweet about the murder of his mother. CJ decides to stay on the West Coast and the game's plot centers on his attempts to rebuild the life he left behind five years ago. Carl helps restore his old gang, the Grove Street Families, to their former power. He also works for several independent business ventures and makes new friends and partners. As the main character, Carl is forced to deal with major dramatic events, including the arrest and imprisonment of his brother Sweet, and the betrayal of childhood friends Big Smoke and Ryder.

Voiced by C.J. Young Maylay.

Shawn "Sweet" Johnson

First appears in: "Sweet and Candle".

Shawn "Sweet" Johnson is the older brother of Carl, Brian and Kendle Johnson. He is one of the leaders and founding fathers of the African-American street gang Grove Street. Lives in a one-story house, very close to the Johnsons' house in Ganton. Sweet also has an unnamed girlfriend who appears in only one mission - "Sweet's Girl". Sweet believed that the murder of their younger brother Brian was Carl's fault, which forced CJ to leave Los Santos. Compared to Carl, Big Smoke and Ryder, Sweet's approach to gangsterism is more philosophical and socially conscious.

Throughout the story, Sweet remains loyal to his family, gang, and neighborhood. He refuses to allow hard drugs to be distributed in the area, much to the disapproval of his right-hand man, Big Smoke. Several times, including in "The Introduction", Sweet says that he is a gangster for the block, which contradicts the beliefs of Big Smoke, who later in the story leaves for money and drugs, and Ryder, who wants personal glory. Although Sweet never says exactly what it means to be for the neighborhood, his actions suggest that he views the gang as a way for the people in his neighborhood to compensate for their lack of legal opportunities that they would not otherwise receive. He also uses the gang to improve the quality of life in Ganton, especially when he drives out crack addicts and drug dealers; a little later in the game, he refuses to leave Grove Street, even when Carl has become rich and has acquired much better places for himself.

After his first return to Los Santos (at the beginning of the game), Carl assists Sweet in restoring the Grove Street Family Gang to its former glory. Sweet begins to forget old grudges and decides that Carl has earned his chance to redeem himself. However, despite Carl almost single-handedly putting the Grove Family Gang back on the map, Big Smoke and Ryder had already betrayed the gang. During a meeting between various gangs of families from this gang, the police suddenly raid the hotel where the meeting is taking place. Carl saves his brother and they escape from the cops, but a little later Sweet is ambushed by the Ballas gang under a huge bridge in the Mulholland area. His injuries leave him unable to defend himself when Carl arrives and fights off the attackers, but the police surround and arrest them both while the Ballas Gang and Grove Street Families escape. The retinue is imprisoned indefinitely, and Carl is released to carry out assignments for Officer Tenpenny.

Carl later encounters Mike Toreno, a government agent who uses threats against Sweet to force Carl to work for him. As long as Carl cooperates with him, Sweet will be protected and, as Toreno promises, eventually freed. If Karl makes a mistake, or refuses to work for Toreno, then Sweet will be forced to face his enemies one-on-one with his fellow prisoners.

Sweet's words finally reach Carl, and slowly but surely the two restore Grove's dominance in the area once again. At first it seems useless; There is a legion of drug dealers, and all of Sweet's people are addicted to drugs. Sweet almost gives in and picks up the crack pipette, but Carl stops him right in the middle. last moment. With Carl's help, Grove forces the Ballas to retreat back and reveal Big Smoke's secret location.

Following the death of Big Smoke and a devastating fire in his drug palace, Officer Tenpenny escapes in a fire truck. Sweet refuses to let Tenpenny escape retribution for once again plunging the city into the abyss of crime and drug addiction; he jumps onto the truck's ladder and is carried away by the speeding car. Carl follows him in a convertible under the stairs to prevent Sweet from falling to his death; After a dangerous ride through the hills and valleys of Los Santos, the swinging ladder finally hovers over the car and Sweet falls safely onto the hood of the convertible, then sits in the passenger seat. After a long pursuit, Tenpenny loses control, gets into an accident and dies. After a major riot in Los Santos and the death of Big Smoke and Tenpenny, Sweet's goal - to restore the gang's former power and achieve a better life for the residents of his neighborhood - is completed.

Sweet, 27, has a light blue Greenwood sedan with a "Grove 4 life" license plate that you can always use. In one mission, Greenwood explodes after flying through a billboard onto a fuel tanker. After leaving prison, Sweet buys an identical car to replace it and says: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. In the beta version of GTA San Andreas, Sweet wore a black T-shirt and a black hat; his appearance was changed in the final alpha version (however, Sweet in his old form can be seen in photographs in the Johnson house).

Sweet was voiced by actor Faizon Love ( Faizon Love).

Kendle Johnson

First appears in: "Sweet and Candle"

Kendle Johnson is the sister of Carl, Brian and Shawn Johnson. Kendle is the lover of Cesar Vialpando, leader of the Varrios Los Aztecas gang. Because of this, he often quarrels with Sweet. She wears green clothing, indicating her affiliation with the Grove Street Gang families. After learning of Big Smoke and Ryder's betrayal, Carl asks Caesar to take Candle away from Los Santos to safety. Later in the story, Caesar proposes to Candle. It is assumed that they actually got engaged.

Kendle is portrayed as intelligent and pragmatic, suggesting that while her brothers see crime as a last chance to support themselves, Kendle could become successful within the confines of the law. She has entrepreneurial talents, willpower, creativity and a sense of leadership. Was announced Yo-Yo.

Frank Tenpenny

First appears in: "Introduction"(arrest scene).

Dies in mission: "Ending station".

Officer Frank Tenpenny - main antagonist games, Los Santos Police Officer (LSPD), head of the C.R.A.S.H. (Department for Combating Organized Crime)

Tenpenny claims that his approach to work is "POINTING UP", and that his philosophy is to turn a blind eye to some crimes in order to stop larger ones.
Officer Frank Tenpenny: “Because it's a game of percentages. We're just trying to take down as many bad guys as we can."
Officer Jimmy Hernandez: "Yes, I know."
Officer Frank Tenpenny: "It means letting some bad guys get away with it."

Scene in "The Introduction": He seems to believe what he says, but in reality, Tenpenny and his gang are corrupt and terrorize the gang leaders as much as the gangs themselves. Officer Frank Tenpenny to Officer Jimmy Hernandez: “You're going to kill him (Officer Ralph Pendelbury)! Or I'll kill you! (Scene in "The Introduction"). They can kill indiscriminately and profit from rival gangs. Tenpenny himself is a nefarious influence, urging good cops to abandon their ideals and help pursue his goals. He shows a callous indifference to the people around him, especially those like Karl, over whom he has power. He sees such people as only a tool and eliminates everyone who either realizes their usefulness or stands in his way. Tenpenny is a megalomaniac and considers himself above the law. He is convinced that what he does Good work, then has the right to enrich himself at the expense of the city.

Tenpenny is constantly in the company of Pulaski and the third member of C.R.A.S.H. Prior to the game's story, this third member was Ralph Pendelbury, who was killed by Tenpenny in The Introduction for attempting to investigate his activities. Shortly before Pendelbury's murder, Tenpenny and Pulaski take in rookie officer Jimmy Hernandez in a scene reminiscent of the film Training Day. They both force Hernandez to kill Pendelbury, thus introducing him to their stinking deeds.

Tenpenny has known CJ at least since Brian Johnson's death, and CJ recognizes Tenpenny and calls him by name from the very beginning of the game. Tenpenny has great power and influence over the criminals of Los Santos. For him, CJ is like another tool in the dirty business relations. He and Pulaski blackmail several members of the Grove Street Family gang, including Big Smoke and Ryder, but Tenpenny seems to take some pleasure in controlling CJ.

Although Tenpenny claims that he is fighting gangs in order to eliminate them all, he is actually on the side of the Ballas, who (unlike Grove Street) have nothing against selling cocaine. C.R.A.S.H. allows the Ballas to flood the city with drugs, which turns many of the groove members into drug addicts, effectively weakening their gang. Tenpenny also convinces Smoke to betray the gang in exchange for control of drug deals. Tenpenny and Pulaski are responsible for the drive-by that killed Beverly Johnson, C.J.'s mother. When C.J. returns for the funeral, C.R.A.S.H. pins Pendelbury's murder on him and threatens him with arrest if he does not carry out Tenpenny's instructions.

Later, Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski kidnap Carl Johnson after a big gangster hit, under a huge bridge in the Mulholland area of Los Santos. Sweet, wounded in the shootout, was arrested and later charged with several felonies. Frank Tenpenny ensures that Carl doesn't get arrested so he can do C.R.A.S.H.'s dirty work. They take Carl Johnson to the village of Angel Pine, and leave him there, with orders to kill a witness on Mount Chiliad, near this village, from the FBI. Tenpenny also tells Carl, who now knows about Smoke's relationship with C.R.A.S.H., not to kill Smoke or Sweet will be placed in a prison block with the Ballas. Carl is often processed by Tenpenny and Pulaski and is usually ordered to kill or discredit anyone who threatens to reveal the true nature of C.R.A.S.H. With Smoke now a big deal in the city of Los Santos due to his crack cocaine being controlled by C.R.A.S.H., Tenpenny's reach is expanding. Despite this, the FBI begins to investigate a wave of drugs crippling the city. Carl finally realizes his independence from Tenpenny and Pulaski when he arrives in Las Venturas. C.R.A.S.H. they call Carl to the desert, meet him there, Tenpenny hits Hernandez on the head with a shovel because he reported them to the internal investigations department of the Los Santos Police Department. He leaves, leaving Carl to dig a grave for Hernandez under Pulaski's supervision. Carl later kills Eddie Pulaski.

Tenpenny himself is ultimately accused of racketeering, corruption, drug misappropriation and use, and numerous counts of sexual assault. However, since the witnesses to the entire trial were either killed by Carl or somehow went missing, Frank Tenpenny was acquitted, sparking civil unrest in Los Santos reminiscent of the 1992 Los Angeles Riot.

Right after Carl kills Smoke at the drug shelter, Tenpenny appears with a suitcase containing drug money. He plans to escape the city by plane. He plans to get to the airport by fire truck with the help of some rookie cops who are willing to work his way. Hoping to kill C.J., Frank Tenpenny causes a fire in the drug lab on the floor below and then runs to the fire truck. Sweet, who arrived at the drug shelter with Karl, but remained in the car, jumps onto the ladder of the truck and, dangling his legs in the air, tries in every possible way to catch Frank Tenpenny. After a pursuit through the city, Carl catches Sweet in the passenger seat of his car, and they continue to pursue Tenpenny, shooting back from the pursuing Ballas, Vagos, and cops.

In the final scene, Tenpenny loses control of the fire truck and it falls off a bridge and lands in the middle of Grove Street. Seriously injured, Frank Tenpenny crawls out and calls for help. Realizing that no one will come, he curses everyone, including the police. "Mudcallers! You never understood what I did! Fifty people like me, and everything would be OK with this city! I cleaned up the trash! I did it! - last words Tenpenny, after which he dies from his injuries. Carl takes out his gun to make sure this is the end. Sweet stops him, saying that there is no need to leave any evidence. "It's just that a cop died in a traffic accident," Sweet says. The radio reports that Tenpenny's corpse has been robbed by homeless people. The riot stopped. Later, Sweet, Caesar, CJ, Kendle go to the Johnson house to take stock of the work done and immediate plans. Later, Madd Dogg and his people come to the house and thanks everyone for their help in business. After all this, CJ goes out onto the streets of the Ganton area and enjoys his new life.

Tenpenny is based on the character Mac Burney from Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Juice on the Block

Jimmy Hernandez

First appears in: "The Introduction"(in the car with Tenpenny and Pulaski, before the Pendlebury murder)

Killed in: "Hot Afternoon"

Officer Jimmy Hernandez- new member of C.R.A.S.H., LSPD officer of Mexican descent. A rookie, and receives little, if any, respect from Tenpenny and Pulaski; he is sent to get meat for their barbecue and is made the object of racial ridicule. Unlike his colleagues, he does not share their corrupt view of how the law should be viewed. They both try to convince Hernandez with their daily work such as finishing off a dying policeman who was a danger to Tenpenny and Pulaski.

In the prequel film The Introduction, Tenpenny scolds him for describing the moral quandary caused by intra-family discord. Hernandez describes his quandary over whether to throw a violent husband in jail, leaving the children with their drug-abusing mother, or to allow the husband to get away with beating his wife. Tenpenny says that if Hernandez can't handle this case, he won't be able to handle the "drug dealers, gangsters and psychopaths" Tenpenny deals with every day. After a lecture about the need to "do what it takes" in maintaining a greater result, Tenpenny orders Hernandez out of the car.

After he finally realizes that things have gone too far, Jimmy decides to report the crimes of the entire C.R.A.S.H. and corruption until the moment he started working with them. In the mission "Hot Afternoon", Pulaski and Tenpenny deal with Hernandez for betraying them. However, Hernandez, stunned by the blow of a shovel to the head, regains consciousness and subsequently saves CJ's life by lunging towards Pulaski (who was holding CJ at gunpoint), and he viciously shoots him in the chest, after which Hernandez runs straight into the grave , dug by Karl

Hernandez was voiced by actor Armando Riesco ( Armando Riesco).

Wu Zi Mu ("Woozy")

First appears in: "Woo Zi Mu"

Wu Zi Mu is the blind leader of the Chinese triad clan, the Mountain Cloud boys ( Mountain Cloud Boys), whose base is in San Fierro's Chinatown and, apparently, in Las Venturas, where Woozy has everyone and everything at the newly opened Four Dragons casino. In Las Venturas, Woozy and Carl plan and carry out the robbery of Caligula's casino.

Woozy is nicknamed "Lucky Mole" because he is favored by fortune, most notably in his ability to compete in car racing and beat Carl in video games despite his blindness. There are, however, humorous instances where he runs into walls, as well as the fact that his men manipulate the results of games with Woozy so that he always wins. For example, Woozy always beats his subordinates at blackjack, despite the fact that he cannot see the cards. One time he plays with Carl, Woozy draws cards until he is finally left with 47, and then accuses Carl of "bringing bad luck" and states that "when he plays with his people, he always wins." Another time, when playing golf, his people move the cup, which acts as a hole, into the path of Woozy's ball and remove it from the path of CJ's ball. Oddly enough, despite his blindness, Vusi is a good shooter. But Vusi is unable to complete a mission that requires swimming, since, by his own admission, all other senses, perfectly trained by him due to loss of vision, become useless under water. But it can swim if during the mission the player takes it into the water.

Although Woozy can become violent and foul-mouthed when angry, he is largely a peaceful and, by the standards of the underworld, an honorable man. He is not corrupted by power and remains a loyal and trustworthy friend, accomplice and informant to Carl until the end of the game. Six years later, in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it is clear that the Vusi casino in Las Venturas is a huge success, and by that time the Four Dragons is the place of many entertainments, concerts and important events. Woozy is very similar to Neo from The Matrix.

Woozy is voiced by actor James Yegashi ( James Yaegashi).

Lance "Ryder" Wilson

First appears in: "Sweet and Candle"

Killed in: "Pier 69"

Lance Wilson(born 1963) - the eldest member of the Grove Street gang families, living next door to the Johnsons' house, a former friend of Carl's, smokes large amounts of marijuana mixed with PCP. Wanting to supply Grove Street with new firearms, Ryder calls Carl to help seize some weapons from several locations, including the home of a war veteran named Colonel Farberger, a forcibly stopped ammunition train, and a National Guard armory.

Ryder is delusional in his magnificence and may have a Napoleon complex due to his vertically challenged. He fancies himself a genius and states that he didn't finish school because he was too intellectual, not because of his involvement in the Grove Street family. In "The Introduction", Smoke becomes close to him, suggesting that he betray the Grove Street family to become involved in the drug trade. After a little convincing, Ryder agrees.

When Carl returns and begins his rise within the Grove Street families, Ryder becomes more and more jealous even though he is already an ally of the Ballas gang. Caesar shows Carl how Big Smoke and Ryder emerge from the garage and talk to the green saber car seen in the murder of Carl's mother leaving the garage. It is implied that Bick Smoke and Ryder were involved in the case, although they may have been brought in later.

Following Carl's betrayal and the rapid fall of the Grove Street family in the city of Los Santos, Ryder assists Smoke in establishing a drug trade with the Loco Syndicate, thus flooding Los Santos with cocaine. He later appears in the city of San Fierro. Ryder, T-Bone Mendez, San Fierro Rifa and the Ballas meet for a deal. After Carl and Caesar and the Triad squad gun down T-Bone on Pier 69, 29-year-old Ryder escapes and races Carl on speedboats, ending in his death. Alternatively, the player can have Carl shoot Ryder from the pier as he tries to swim away and take over the boat.

In a way omen, CJ tells Ryder in one early mission, "One of these days, you'll wish you had killed me." It was later revealed that Ryder tried to rape Kendle.

The rider has a Picador pickup ( Chevrolet El Camino chestnut-colored) with a license plate "SHERM", a slang term for PCP (CJ often calls Ryder a "sherm-head"). The machine is always open for use. In the game, Ryder has a habit of calling CJ "buster". Carl also recalls that Ryder was involved in drugs when he was 10 years old, and once killed a teacher for wearing purple (Ballas' color) clothes.

Jeffrey "O-G Lock" Cross

First appears in: "O-G Lock"

Geoffrey Cross- a friend and neighbor opposite Karl’s house, who pursues a goal: to make a career in rap using the example of gangsta rappers West Coast 1990s Although he is not a member of the groove, he takes the "gangsta" nickname, Ou-G Lock, and commits minor crimes like car theft on a short time definitely to go to jail and thus gain the trust of the streets. However, Lock's rapping is terrible and even his friends find it unbearable to listen to. Karl remembers him, back when young guy and his brother's friend Brian, but then forgot about him until returning to Los Santos, where he later takes Jeffrey out of prison with Big Smoke and Sweet.

IN The Introduction Smoke tells Locke to give up his fantasies of being a gangster and instead go to college and make something of himself. However, he refuses, saying that rap is his true goal in life. The game suggests that while in prison, Locke engaged in homosexual acts with fellow inmate Freddy, as mentioned in dialogue when C.J. and Locke chase and kill Freddy shortly after Locke's release from prison. Being conditionally released Locke is given a job as a cleaner (which he refers to as a "Hygiene Technician") at the local fast food restaurant.

While working at the Burger Shop, OJ asks CJ to help him develop his music career by stealing some music equipment from a beach party and a book of rhymes from Madd Dogg, a hip-hop star in the city of Los Santos. Locke also had CJ ruin Dogg's career by killing his manager, who Locke believes was using his influence to hinder Locke's career. Soon after, Locke quits his job, deciding that he would rather break his parole and go back to prison than work a job that is "not for a gangsta." However, since CJ's actions caused Dogg to lose his strength and become depressed, Locke is given the opportunity to achieve fame. After Carl is betrayed by his friends and kicked out of Los Santos, Locke becomes a mainstream rapper with the help of his agent, Steam Engine.

Later in the game, after Carl saves Madd Dogg's life and is rewarded with his position as his manager in Las Venturas, the two of them pursue O-G to retrieve Dogg's book of rhymes. After a long pursuit, Carl and Madd Dogg corner Locke, who agrees to quit rapping and leave them alone from then on.

This walking joke- his name "OG Loc" is often mispronounced; radio talk show host Lazlow calls him "Oglok", music DJ Sage talks about "Oge Loke" and his rival Madd Dogg rues the day his number one position was fooled by "G Loco". One of CJ's friends calls him "OG Joke". In Grand Theft Auto IV, Loc's disc can be found in Playboy X's house. It is likely that after the events of GTA San Andreas Loc became popular.

O-G Lock voiced Jonathan "Jas" Anderson.

Madd Dogg (Mad Cupcake)

First appears in: "Madd Dogg's lyrics"

Mad Cupcake- one of the most famous rappers in Los Santos. Shortly after CJ's arrival in Los Santos Dogg is becoming very popular, having just released his own clothing line, as well as numerous other products. Dogg's career is in decline after CJ steals his book of rhymes and kills his manager to help musical career Ou-G Loka.

Mad Cupcake experiences a bout of depression, during which he loses his Mulholland mansion to a major drug dealer, the leader of the Los Santos Vagos gang, and skips a concert in Las Venturas to gamble the rest of his money. Contemplating suicide, Madd Dogg appears on the edge of the casino roof, completely drunk, and threatens to jump to his death. With people from the crowd gathered below placing bets on whether he will actually jump (and asking him to take off some of his expensive clothes before doing so), Ceejay saves him at the last minute, catching his falling body in the back of a truck filled with empty cardboard boxes.

Then Karl takes him to the hospital. After leaving, Madd Dogg, grateful, makes Carl his new manager. Carl takes part in restoring Cupcake's career by reclaiming his mansion and restoring his name in the rap industry. CJ and Crazy Cupcake chase Oo-jee Loc to return Cupcake's book of rhymes and force Loc to give up rapping and leave them alone. At the end of the game, the return of Mad Cupcake results in a gold disc.

Mark "B Dap" Wayne

First appears in the story mission video: "Cleaning up the area"

B Dap left the Grove Street gang and is now selling drugs. In the story mission "Neighborhood Cleanup", Carl and Ryder try to call Bi Dap into action, but he aggressively kicks them out of his apartment. B Dap also got former Grove Street gang member Barry Thorne, nicknamed Bear, on drugs, who later became his slave and, for the sake of a new dose, carries out any of B Dap’s orders (mostly cleaning his apartment and cleaning the toilet).

Later in the story mission "The Overthrow of Bi Dap", Sweet and Carl threaten Bi Dap into revealing Big Smoke's location. He does not answer them, since he does not know where he is, but informs them that only Smoke's close associates know where he is. When Bee Dap calls Bear to deal with the intruders, Bear knocks Bee Dap down with a punch to the jaw because he is tired of being his slave, and then he leaves with Sweet. When he falls, Bi Dap breaks his head.

Mike Toreno

First appears in "The Introduction" video.

Mike Toreno is an undercover military counterintelligence agent who masquerades as a drug dealer for the Loco syndicate. At first his presence is not entirely appropriate, and the lack of information about him worries Karl. In his first appearance in the game, Mike is kidnapped by the Da Nang gang, who steal one of the syndicate's drug vans with Toreno in the back. But Carl and T-Bone Mendez determine the location of the vehicle using a cell phone and a beacon, and overtake the truck on the San Fierro runway. Toreno loses his temper when he sees Carl's unfamiliar face and threatens to shoot him. Once Mendez calms him down, Toreno orders them all to open fire on the van and destroy it, thus removing the evidence.

After Jizzy B's death, Carl and his partners plan to ambush the syndicate's meeting with the Big Smoke cartel. Karl covers them with a sniper rifle, but Toreno, while in the helicopter, notices the corpses on the roof and cancels his landing. Later, Carl spies a helicopter in another location and shoots it down in the sky; Mike Toreno is presumed dead.

However, Toreno survives the helicopter crash. Shortly thereafter, using a digitally distorted voice, he calls Carl on his cell phone and orders him to come to his isolated ranch in the Tierra Robada region. There, he gives Carl a series of difficult tasks under duress: Toreno suggests that Sweet, who has been in prison for a long time, will be harmed if Carl does not work for him. Mike Toreno promises that if Carl cooperates, Sweet will remain safe and will eventually be released. . Toreno was apparently only supplying cocaine to appease a government ally overseas; he has since left deals and is now focused on working at his home agency (but Karl does all that work).

WITH philosophical point From my point of view, Mike Toreno is a very cynical American imperialist, an opponent of communism. He primarily uses Karl as a courier, saboteur and assassin. Although he knows about Tenpenny and Pulaski's dirty dealings as well as their relationship with Carl, Toreno does not use his power to stop them. He tells Carl, “We've got decisions to make, man. You know what, I'm trying to set bad people against other bad people. And sometimes, I let the good guys die." Toreno seems to be driven to commit heinous acts for a greater purpose, much like . Although he seems to be more stable and reasonable than . In one of the videos, Toreno reads the book “CONCPIRANCY THEORY” - a clear allusion to the film of the same name (in the Russian version, “Conspiracy Theory”).

Toreno's missions, which include dropping payloads from aircraft while evading radar detection and shooting down black government helicopters on a plateau, seem nearly impossible to Carl.

During the game, Mike Toreno sends Carl to buy an abandoned airfield, an unused runway, and an airplane graveyard. This object is used to make Carl a pilot. In one of the game's more bizarre missions, a jet carrying containers lands unannounced on the runway and men in black suits and sunglasses step out. Carl is hiding behind some boxes when Toreno appears out of nowhere and instructs him to get inside using a motorcycle and plant a bomb on the plane. When fighting the agents on board, they utter strange phrases such as: "Carbon-based clown!" and “You evolved from shrews!”

While Toreno initially views Carl as a street trash and enjoys bringing up Sweet's dire situation, his attitude changes when Carl proves his ability to perform seemingly impossible tasks. He begins to like Karl, using him as a sort of "war buddy" and showing some degree of camaraderie. After Carl becomes the manager of rapper Madd Dogg and doesn't hear from Toreno for a while, the latter interrupts the sound system in Madd Dogg's mansion studio during a recording session and gives Carl one last task. He personally takes Carl to the East Bay in San Fierro to infiltrate an aircraft carrier and steal a fighter jet. Hydra. After he destroys pursuing enemy aircraft and bombs radar ships in the river's tributaries, Carl has had enough and doesn't want to do anything for Toreno; his rage intensified when Mike Toreno abandoned Carl with a hijacked military plane.

However, Toreno later suddenly appears again at Madd Dogg's mansion, and tells Karl that he has one more, but already small task that must be completed. Hearing this, Carl grabs his weapon, but Toreno calmly replies that Carl is embarrassing himself. Then the phone rings: the task is simply to pick up Sweet after his early release from prison from the Los Santos police department. Mike Toreno does not appear anywhere else in the game.

Toreno's car is a Washington executive sedan with an OMEGA license plate. James Woods provides the voice for Toreno and also bears a resemblance to the character.

Catalina

First appears in: "First meeting"

Catalina- Caesar's cousin Vialpando, who lives in an isolated house in the rural area of Fern Ridge ( Fern Ridge). She is almost completely insane, extremely strong, grumpy, and shows strong tendencies towards feminism and man-hating. After CJ finds himself in the rural wilderness, Caesar suggests that he look for Catalina for work.

From CJ's first meeting with Catalina, he doesn't like her. Impatient, offensive, unpleasant and never tolerates wrongdoing. Catalina insists that they work together on a series of robberies in the countryside, raiding several businesses in different villages. During all this, Catalina decides for herself that she is new girl CJ and threatens to kill him if he doesn’t agree.

At the beginning of the third raid, Catalina has off-screen sex with CJ. CJ expresses disinterest, fear and lack of comfort, but Catalina doesn't care. As a result, CJ is even more aware of how crazy Catalina is, but what she calls his "lack of passion" just makes Catalina want to lash out. CJ is more interested in making quick money to get back on his feet than pleasing Catalina, although he does try to do that.

However, no matter what CJ says or does, Catalina continues to scold him and call him a loser. In one scene, she threatens to kill anyone who plays with her, especially CJ, simply because she is in a bad mood. She eventually "leaves" CJ and ends up with a new friend, the silent protagonist from Grand Theft Auto III. Catalina and Claude leave together for Liberty City, to meet events from GTA III.

Catalina is a dangerous psychopath: she is homicidal and appears to suffer from persecution delusions, which may be caused by her stepfather. “You were slow and stupid,” she says, “like a big fat son of a bitch who eats chocolate while his father gives his stepdaughter nothing but stale bread!”

After leaving with Claude, Catalina tries and fails to get back to Karl by making calls to his phone. After the last mission of the game, Catalina calls while having sex with Claude and forces CJ to listen to it. He says: “Catalina! You are sick! Go get treatment! She replies: “You too, Karl, you’re jealous!”

There are three fresh graves and a shovel near her house nearby. Apparently these are her former lovers.

Catalina voiced for the second time Cynthia Farrell.

Righteous

First appears in: "Harvest of Bodies"

The Righteous (The Truth)- an old hippie who first lives in the mountains on the outskirts of San Fierro and owns a farm where he grows marijuana. The Righteous One makes contact with Carl while he is in exile in the hills of San Fierro and tells him to meet him at a roadside motel. When Carl arrives, he finds Tenpenny smoking Righteous Man's marijuana from a bong. The Righteous Man asks Karl for help: to steal a combine harvester from a ranch owned by sectarians.

The Righteous Man provides Tenpenny with free drugs, mistakenly believing that in exchange the corrupt officer will shield him from prosecution. The Righteous Man pays for his misplaced trust when Tenpenny raids his farm. The righteous man is forced to destroy his harvest before the authorities arrive. He gives Carl a flamethrower to burn the plants and an RPG-7 (which he intended to make into a lamp) to shoot down a police helicopter. The Righteous One moves with Karl to San Fierro and introduces him to the couple, who are then hired to work in Karl's garage.

After Carl purchases an abandoned airfield on the outskirts of Las Venturas, the Righteous Man appears unannounced. He somehow knows Mike Toreno's identity and is shocked that Carl is working for him. The Righteous One wants to help Karl rehabilitate himself, this time by stealing secret technology. He takes Karl to a military base (which is not on any map) and leaves him there. Carl must make his way to Site 69 to steal an experimental jetpack known as the "Black Project" from the depths of the complex. The Righteous One returns later, this time instructing Carl to use a jetpack to steal a device in a protective container being transported on a heavily guarded military train. Karl intercepts the train and takes the container, which contains a green, apparently radioactive substance of unknown origin. The Righteous One declares in ecstasy, "They will call it Year Zero of the New Era!" before disappearing again without any explanation.

He later shows up at Mad Dog's mansion to see Carl and his partners. He is last seen standing over the corpse of Officer Tenpenny along with the rest of the characters. He will congratulate Karl for having “managed to beat the system, something he himself had been trying to do for 30 years.”

At first glance, the Righteous One is an eccentric, a conspiracy theorist obsessed with conspiracy theories. One day, he made Carl park in different spots and wait for a black van to pull out, telling him to “think of a yellow rubber duck” and “picture a pink golf ball.” He also mentions Theory 23. In one of the missions, Righteous claims that John Kennedy is alive and living with his wife in Scotland, and says that the Cold War is caused by lizard-headed aliens who control American oil reserves. He has extensive knowledge of conspiracies surrounding the government and foreigners, which makes Carl question his madness.

Righteous has an eco-friendly hippie van called the "Mothership" (a repainted Camper with the number "EREHTTUO"; the number is a right-to-left spelling of "OUTTHERE", which is a pun on the famous slogan "The truth is out there," whose engine is "supported by a macramé hammock" and runs on "15-year-old cooking oil." He is also familiar with many characters from past games, such as Vice City, as well as with and . He frequently smokes marijuana and is involved in the production of LSD, mushrooms, mescaline, PMA and peyote. The latter was the reason why Kent Paul and Macker “saw the inner light, communicated with the Lizard King and woke up in the desert, and the Righteous One ended up in a Japanese bathhouse.”

Interesting fact: during one of the conversations between Carl and the Righteous One, when he asks him to help him escape to San Fierro, he ends the conversation with the exclamation “I don’t know you! Who is this? No need to call here! I'm hanging up!"; this is a reference to the movie Pulp Fiction, where Lance (the drug dealer) says the same thing.

Jizzy B

First appears in: "Successful Pictures"

Killed in mission: "Cold-blooded killer"

Jizzy B is the biggest pimp in San Fierro, and has a club called the Pleasure Domes, which is located in an old fortress under the Gant Bridge, in the Battery Point area. It's a place of adult entertainment where Jizzy surrounds himself with prostitutes, whom he abuses. He is one of the members of the Loco syndicate, which produces and supplies drugs to Los Santos.
