GTA: San Andreas is considered one of the most successful games in the series. The concept here is classic. The character gets into trouble with gangs who want to divide the city, and completes his tasks, improving his reputation among various crime clans. A lot of exciting missions, a large selection of cars with the possibility of tuning them, gang wars with the seizure of territory - this is not the whole list of what made another brainchild of Rockstar Games a truly cult game. But this list would not be complete without including such an important element as the characters of GTA: San Andreas. Many critics and gamers note the well-developed nature of their characters and their organic integration into the storyline. Rockstar created a city in which you really want to live, and each of its significant neighbors has its own unique destiny. But the original game did not stop its development, and over time many mods and additions appeared. GTA: San Andreas - mods - a few more additional pages in great history a crime-ridden city where you never get bored.

A special feature of the game was the voice acting. All the main characters of GTA: San Andreas were voiced by iconic personalities. These are mainly rap musicians.

Who's in charge in San Andreas?

It is clear that there are plenty of criminal leaders in the game, but the main character is trying to be in no way inferior to them. The central character of the game is called (also abbreviated as CJ), and he, like most of the predecessors of the GTA series, has a lot of problems with the law in the Los Santos metropolis. After many attempts to change his failures with drugs and corruption scandals, the hero leaves his hometown and heads to Liberty City. The character of Karl was voiced by actor Yang My Lai. The prototype of the main character could very likely be the young vocalist of the band Faithless, Maxi Jazz.

Return to San Andreas

Five years later, Karl returns to his native place again, then, in fact, the game begins GTA San Andreas. The passage starts after preliminary communication with the police, to whom Karl remains indebted. Eddie Pulaski and Frank Tenpenny are corrupt cops who promise to keep an eye on him. The gangster atmosphere awaits the main character again.

After a successful first bike ride, Karl is greeted by his home, where he immediately learns of the murder charge. The native Grove street awaits new adventures that will now accompany the main character on every corner. CJ will not tolerate mistreatment of his family and therefore decides to return to business. Other important characters from GTA San Andreas will help him.

What new can CJ do?

In addition to fast driving in cars, bicycles and motorcycles, which has always been characteristic of GTA heroes, the main rebel of San Andreas has gained new skills that have not been seen before. Now Karl will be able to boast of the opportunity to swim and jump with a parachute. He will begin to master fashion trends, constantly changing clothes and trying on new haircuts. But most importantly, the game has a new system that allows you to train your character. By riding, shooting and fist fighting these skills will grow. The gym will allow you to lose extra pounds and improve your strength characteristics.

Some mods complement the already wide capabilities of the main GTA hero: San Andreas. Character textures can also be changed thanks to additions.

Location of the game

San Andreas is a large fictional state through which the main character will move. The action begins in the city of Los Santos, where Karl's house is located. But after just a few missions it will be possible to move along the map. At the same time, there are practically no restrictions similar to those encountered in previous GTA games. A variety of cars for GTA: San Andreas will help you overcome the path between distant places. And there really will be plenty to choose from.

In the state, you will be able to visit and try out your capabilities in several cities, including: Los Santos, Las Venturas, Dillimore and Angel Pine. Various characters will be found in both urban and rural areas. But the main epicenter of events will still remain Grove Street in Los Santos.

The game's territories are surprisingly vast; it takes months to get acquainted with different corners of this game world, where the unsurpassed characters of GTA: San Andreas await.

Fantastic Four

Charles would hardly have been able to advance further than Grove Street if not for his closest associates. The first part of the game ends with the four heroes (CJ, Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke) faking their deaths by blowing up a car. These four most important characters from GTA: San Andreas will be a real storm in Los Santos. They are the pioneers, after which many new characters for GTA: San Andreas will appear.

Big brother

Sean Sweet Johnson, nicknamed Sweet Johnson, is one of the most respected members of the Grove gang. He, like Karl, often takes risks for the sake of his family and seeks a way to take revenge on the guilty members of the Ballas organization for the murder of his mother.

Since Karl left home 5 years ago, he and his brother severed their ties for a long time, and now the relationship is not so strong. But after CJ’s “big contribution” to the common cause, the friendship between the brothers again becomes strong and reliable. Sean has a rather serious character and often does not take the jokes of his comrades. The main goal of his life is to keep his family strong. He is wary of drug trafficking and is not very fond of Mexican gangs.

Sweet was voiced by FaizonLove, who is known for his voice in the series “Alf”

Carefree Rider

Lance Ryder Wilson doesn't like to rush. He is the Johnson family's next-door neighbor. He likes hip-hop artists from Easy-E from NWA. This character received the nickname Unpredictable because of his harsh character. Ryder holds a grudge against Carl for running away from the city during difficult times. He is constantly sarcastic about this topic. The protagonist first interacts with Lance during a robbery of a local restaurant chain, a recurring feature in the Grand Theft Auto series. The first attempt was unsuccessful, but that was just the beginning.

During the entire game, Ryder never took off his black glasses, and his trick is constantly smoking cigars. He constantly tries to demonstrate his level of intelligence, considering himself a genius (maybe because he once dropped out of school).

Where does Big Smoke come from?

Big Smoke is the name of the friends of Melvin Big Smoke Harris, who closes the fab four local gangsters. Smoke is a rather obese uncle who always doesn’t mind eating. His views on drugs differ from the Svitovs, and there are some plans to open a drug business near San Fierro. But this idea does not have the support of the rest of the gang. The intrigue remains whether Smoke will be able to resist temptation big jackpot on the side. Melvin has a lot of ambitions and a lot of shops in the area under the hood. In Smoke's missions you will be able to try a variety of cars for GTA: San Andreas.

A family is incomplete without women

Kendl Johnson is one of the few main female characters in the game. She is quite grumpy, but loves both brothers. True, Kendle cannot understand Sean's hostility towards Mexicans. By the way, he often has affairs with them. But when you need to speed up an important process or guide your brothers on the right path, she is right there! The sister does not participate in missions, but is a rather interesting character. One of the gangs that the guys from Grove Street oppose, the Orange Grove Families, is related to her because her boyfriend, Cesar Vialpando, is from there. Karl is trying in every possible way to change the situation and quarrel between the incompatible couple.

Other important characters

In fact, the game has a lot of both primary and characters who play a less prominent role. But in order to collect them all, an entire encyclopedia would be needed. Here we will try to add those who left a really important mark on the fate of C.J. and the promotion of the GTA storyline. Based on the biographies of these characters, one can get an idea of ​​​​the close connection of the game with African-American culture, and in particular with music. GTA: San Andreas mods also added several interesting characters to the game.

Parody of a gangsta rap singer

Og Loc (Jefferey OG Loc Martin), who appears a few missions into the game, really looks like a failed singer. He is hung with chains, wears a bandana, but does not stand out in anything special. Jeffrey is almost harmless, he has no problems with the police, except for a few. He is trying to create a unique style of music, which should mix hip-hop and reggae. In the game you can listen to what he composes. Og Lok is a comic parody of the image of a rapper in general.

Hermit Legend

Mad Dog (Madd Dogg) is the opposite of Martin, a legendary rap musician who broadcasts on one of the main radio stations - Radio Los Santos. He used to work hard and sell millions of records, but in the game he lives in solitude. Mad's mansion in Vinewood Hills will be an interesting object from an interesting mission in the style of stealth action. Mad no longer wants to participate in the turbulent life of local gangs and isolated himself in the wilderness. But there is also dark side bio - he is now a slave to drugs and alcohol.

Old Rice

Old Reece is a good-natured man who owns a chain of hair salons. In each of them you can learn something new about life around you. And the barbershop, where Old Reece himself works, is a place where Karl is always ready not only to get a haircut, but also to talk. Rhys is especially warm towards Carl and is always ready to provide a little extra work if CJ needs it.

Failed love

CJ will have several affairs in the game. One of the most dangerous is Catalina. She is ready to shoot Karl and can immediately throw herself on his neck. girl with in a beautiful voice and amazing Mexican pronunciation, which is always ready to stand up for itself and even restore order in nearby settlements.

Catalina is the second important female character in the game. Lives in the countryside, in a small van, in the hills. Karl will have to help her in several unforgettable tasks.

Bad Cop

Frank Tenpenny is one of the main villains of the game. Even though he wears a police badge. He absorbed all the stereotypes characteristic of a law enforcement officer in a black neighborhood. Constantly being sarcastic and playing a double game. He figures prominently throughout the storyline. And the part of the game after Karl's kidnapping is based on the insidious plans of this antagonist.

The voice of the character Tenpenny was done by the unsurpassed Samuel L. Jackson.

The game GTA: San Andreas, the passage of which is difficult to forget, has created many amazing characters, which will remain in the memory of fans of the series for a long time. There are many more funny, charismatic or simply naive characters waiting to be revealed, including Officer Pulaski (Tenpenny's partner), the anarchist Mike Toreno, the lucky Barry Thorne, the funny Woozy and the hate-filled Truth.

At the time of release GTA: San Andreas became the record holder for the number of invited actors to voice the game - no other game project could boast of the figure of 339 people. Quantity does not always mean quality, but we exclude SA from this rule, because the actors did a wonderful job, and everything turned out atmospheric.

Despite various rumors that the protagonist was voiced by comedian Dave Chappelle or rapper 50 Cent, CJ received his voice from Christopher Bellard, better known as rapper Young Maylay. You can know him from his collaborations with such performers as Ice Cube, WC and others. In appearance, the actor and the hero are almost dissimilar, apparently due to the fact that Karl bears a resemblance to Michael Washington, which caused a scandal and legal battles quite recently.

After working on the game, Chris released his first music release, the title of which was "San Andreas: The Original Mixtape". The cover is stylized as the SA cover. The tracks featured music from the game, including the title theme song.

The role of Shawn Johnson, better known as Sweet, was assigned to actor Faizon Love, who played in such films as Elf, Friday and Torque. This is his first and so far last experience in the gaming industry.

The voice of Melvin Harris, better known as Big Smoke, was played by actor Clifton Powell. His track record includes the role of Sean in 50 Cent's film "Before I Self-Destruct", the role of Earl in the comedy "Norbit", the role of Luke in the film "Rush Hour", the role of Chauncey in the drama "Menace to Society", roles in the series "M.D. ", "Law and Order", "Crime Scene" and a little more than a hundred roles.

Like most heroes, Big Smoke also had a beta version that can be seen in the game: in the last mission, there is a traitor statue in Smoke's hideout.

The Johnson brothers' only sister, Candle, was voiced by Yolanda Whitaker, also known in the hip-hop world as Yo-Yo. The girl tried on more than 15 roles, including the role in “Menace to Society.” In music, she had more success, releasing 5 studio albums (although one of them remained unreleased), 2 EPs and about 14 singles.

Another rapper, MC Eiht, gave the voice to another prominent character - Lance Wilson (aka Ryder), who took part in the filming of Menace to Society and several other films. He has 14 solo and eight joint albums to his credit. There is no doubt that when working on the character's appearance, the developers used the appearance of the late rapper Eazy-E.

On the right is MC Eiht, on the left is a comparison of the appearance of Ryder and Eazy-E.

Clifton Collins Jr., who voiced Caesar Vialpando, has appeared in projects such as Crank 2, CSI, and Public Menace alongside Yo-Yo, Clifton Powell.

The voice of Jeffrey Cross, also known as OG Loc, belongs to actors Jonathan Anderson. It is possible that this character is a parody of rapper Ja Rule, who was suspected of stealing rhymes and other style features of another rapper under the pseudonym DMX. Looking ahead, it should be noted that another rapper took part in the scoring of the game, who at that time was on the same label as 50 Cent, who at that time had a beef (feud between two rappers) with Ja Rule. So this could be a cleverly designed joke, who knows...

Famous actor Peter Fonda, who can be remembered for his role as Mephistopheles in the film “Ghost Rider,” voiced the old hippie nicknamed Truth.

A truly outstanding actor gave the voice to Mike Toreno, as James Woods played leading roles in such masterpieces as Once Upon a Time in America and Casino. He also starred in the film Scary Movie 2 and worked on the creation of the games Kingdom Hearts II (as well as its sequel) and Scarface: The World Is Yours, and also worked as a voice actor on the cartoon Catch the Wave!

The blind head of the triads, Wu Zi Mu, was voiced by Japanese-born actor James Yagashi, who also worked on the BioShock game, giving the voice to Dr. Suchong, and later on GTA 4, giving the voice to Charlie, an undercover LCPD agent. In the "four" in Chinatown you can hear the phrase "My cousin owns a casino in Las Venturas. Maybe we should move there."

James Yagashi and Wu Zi Mu.

Another hip-hop figure voiced a hero with his own profession. We are talking about the dubbing of Madd by rapper Dogg by the legendary performer Ice T, whose musical achievements are not worth talking about again. In addition to regular roles in television and film projects, Treacy Morrow took part in the games Sanity, Aiken's Artifact and Scarface: The World Is Yours, and is currently working on Gears of War 3. It is noticeable that in some ways Ice T became the prototype for Madd Dogg.

The alias Madd Dogg may be based on the nickname of Vincent Call, an Irish hitman. There is also an option of origin that the phrase appeared after combining the name Snoop Dogg and the previous name (“Mad Doc”) of the now related company “Rockstar New England”.

Ice T and Madd Dogg.

The main antagonist of the game, officer Frank Tenpenny, received his voice from the most popular actor Samuel L. Jackson, who can be considered a giant of the film industry. Suffice it to recall the films “Goodfellas”, “Menace to Society”, “Jurassic Park”, “ Pulp Fiction", "Die Hard 3", " Star wars" (four films), "51st State", "Kill Bill 2", "The Incredibles" (voiceover for a cartoon), "xXx 2: The Next Level", two parts of "Iron Man", "Thor" and others. In addition, he voiced roles in the games Iron Man 2 and Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars. Amazing fact: Jackson is currently working on three films (Captain America, The Avengers and Nick Fury), where the actor will play the same character. played in both parts of "Iron Man" (and once voiced the game) and "Thor" - Nick Fury.

Officer Eddie Pulaski was voiced by the quite recognizable actor Chris Penn, who played in the film “Rush Hour”, the TV series “CSI”, “Law and Order”, as well as in other projects. Unfortunately, at the age of 40, Christopher died.

Armando Riesco, who voiced another officer, Jimmy Hernandez, received a small but important role. Perhaps the only film from the actor’s short track record that can say something to the average viewer is “National Treasure,” where he played the role of FBI agent Hendrix. Riesko was more successful in scoring games. The first experience of this kind was working on Vice City, where he voiced the minor role of a supplier. By the way, after the role of Hernandez (and part-time he also voiced ordinary pedestrians) in San Andreas, Armando worked on The Ballad of Gay Tony, giving a voice to the average parking attendant. As you can see, the history of his appearances in the series is very interesting. But in addition to GTA, Riesco voiced such popular games as Midnight Club 2, The Warriors, Need for Speed: Undercover and Need for Speed: World.

The goofy Zero was voiced by David Cross, who, among other things, appeared in the films Scary Movie 2 (the role of Dwight) and Men in Black. However, he achieved more in voice acting, working on the film “Doctor Dolittle” (voice of the dog), the animated series “Family Guy” ( cameo role), cartoons "Kung Fu Panda", "Futurama: The Beast with Billions of Backs", "Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five", "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2", "Megamind" (the role of Minion), "Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special", "Megamind: Doom Button", "Kung Fu Panda 2" and many others. Also participated in the creation of the game Halo 2.

The brutal bandit named (or nicknamed) T-Bone Mendez was voiced by Los Angeles rapper of Mexican origin Kid Frost. Perhaps his track record as an actor does not include many roles, but as a musician, Kid is doing well. By the way, the radio station Radio Los Santos plays the song “La Raza” performed by him.

Mendez wears a unique jersey that is not found anywhere else in the game, although there are similar ones. Such shirts were worn by members of Mexican gangs for 30 years: from the 1970s to the late 1990s. By the way, it is unknown whether T-Bone Mendez is related to the Mendez brothers from Vice City Stories. Rock musician and vocalist Shaun Ryder, a member of the band Black Grape, voices Meisser, who regularly appears in the game along with Kent Paul. Sean participated in the creation of the soundtrack for the films “The Devil Wears Prada”, “Goal” and others.

Mark Wayne, better known as B Dup, was voiced by the famous rapper Game.

Barry Big Bear Thorne was voiced by Kurt Big Boy Alexander, best known for his role as Cousin Bosley in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

List of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas characters

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 of the characters were voiced by crime movie veterans like Pulp Fiction's Samuel L. Jackson 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 returns to his 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 the distribution of hard drugs in the area, which causes his extreme disapproval right hand 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 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.

Frank Tenpenny

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

Dies in mission: "Final Stop".

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 dirty influence, urging the 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 in such people 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 since he does a good job, he 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 eventually 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 last scene of the story, Tenpenny loses control of fire truck, she falls off the bridge and lands right in the center 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 her 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, 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 then the Four Dragons is the site 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 short stature. He fancies himself a genius and states that he didn't graduate from high 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 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 disk 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 from sniper rifle, but Toreno, while in the helicopter, notices 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).

From a philosophical point of view, Mike Toreno is a very cynical American imperialist and opponent of communism. He primarily uses Karl as a courier, saboteur and assassin. Although he is aware of 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 the sake of highest goal, which is very similar to . 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 Karl.

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 CJ's new girlfriend and threatens to kill him if he does not 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 at random. 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're 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. IN last time he will be shown 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 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 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.

Although he plays a large role in the syndicate's affairs, he is shown arguing with T-Bone Mendez over profits.

Jizzy recruits Carl when he infiltrates the club to see what he can find out about the syndicate. Once Jizzy negotiates a location for a big deal where members of the Loco syndicate and representatives from Big Smoke (including Ryder) are to meet, Carl decides to take out the pimp. Carl catches him in the club, but Jizzy runs away. He is subsequently killed during a car chase in the mission "In Cold Blood" when he fails to escape in his pimpmobile.

Unfortunately, after he and the ensemble travel with the Righteous One into the desert beyond Las Venturas, he is left with only one Macker.

Rescued by CJ, who was sent to find them, Paul heads to Las Venturas to meet his old acquaintance, Ken Rosenberg, or "Rosie" as he calls him (the two met in GTA: Vice City). Paul displeases Salvatore Leone when he dangles both him and Maccher from the window of Caligula's casino. CJ managed to save Paul, Rosenberg and Macker from the clutches of Salvatore, faking their deaths and allowing them to escape from Venturas. Paul later began producing Madd Dogg's records for the label at the request of CJ after Madd Dogg's career returned to normal.

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 is "rummaging around" inside the building, and Franklin, who is "taking 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 back for Michael.”
