==Character history==
===Before 1992===
===Before 1992===
Pulaski was born in an unknown location in the [[United States of America]] and, at some point prior to [[1992]], joined the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|Los Santos Police Department]]. He later joined the [[C.R.A.S.H.|Community Resource Against Street Hoodlums]] division under the leadership of [[Frank Tenpenny]], who slowly turned him into a corrupt police officer, viewing the job as more 'percentages' and keeping the gangs in the city on an equal footing. The two were also joined by [[Ralph Pendelbury]], who did not share their views and began talking to internal affairs. Pulaski and Tenpenny were then joined by [[Jimmy Hernandez]], who was then 'initiated' into their criminal activities by killing Pendelbury while being held at gun point by Tenpenny.
Hernandez was born in an unknown location, and, at some point prior to [[1992]], joined the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|Los Santos Police Department]] in [[1989]]. His biggest case, prior to joining C.R.A.S.H., was a domestic violence case where a man was beating up his wife, a drug addict who nearly allowed their child to starve. Hernandez was then transferred to C.R.A.S.H. as an undercover officer to investigate fellow officers Tenpenny and Pulaski who had been taking the law into their own hands and encouraging gang violence in Los Santos' poorer neighbourhoods, after they received information from C.R.A.S.H. officer [[Ralph Pendelbury]] about their activities. Hernandez, however, tells Tenpenny and Pulaski that he realized that the only crime in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] was gang crime and joined C.R.A.S.H. for the same. Hernandez, however, almost loses his chance to work in C.R.A.S.H. when talking to Tenpenny and Pulaski about his past three years of service. Tenpenny then orders him to get out of their [[Police Car|car]] in [[East Los Santos in GTA III Era|East Los Santos]]. Hernandez, however, is later accepted back and the corrupt Tenpenny and Pulaski quickly initiate him into their criminal activities after Hernandez told them he was prepared to do whatever it took to reduce the crime in the city. The three then drive to meet Pendelbury, who is [[The Introduction|badly beaten by Pulaski before being killed by a reluctant Hernandez]], who was being held at gunpoint by Tenpenny.


===Life with Carl Johnson===
===Life with Carl Johnson===
Pulaski, alongside Tenpenny and Hernandez, is [[First Mission (GTA SA)|first seen arresting]] protagonist [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] in [[Ganton]] on his return to [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] from [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] for his [[Beverly Johnson|mother Beverly's]] [[Sweet & Kendl|funeral]]. The three then drive Carl around the city's poorer neighborhoods and hand him the gun that Hernandez had used to kill Pendelbury ten minutes previously, thus giving them leverage over Carl. The three then throw him from their moving [[Police Car|police car]], leaving him in [[Jefferson, Los Santos|Jefferson]], a part of the city controlled by Carl's rivals, the [[Ballas]]. The three, after throwing Carl out of their car, return to the scene of Pendelbury's murder. Pulaski continues to work with Tenpenny and Hernandez, personally overseeing the involvement of greedy high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] members [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]] and [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]] in the death of Carl's mother Beverly, committed by the Ballas, who Smoke and Ryder had allied themselves with under pressure from Tenpenny, while remaining high ranking members of the [[Grove Street Families]].

The three then throw him from their moving police car, leaving him in [[Jefferson, Los Santos|Jefferson]], a part of the city controlled by Carl's gang rivals, the [[Ballas]], and return to the scene of Pendelbury's murder. Hernandez continues to work with Tenpenny and Pulaski, and later [[Mobile Phone|phones]] Carl to remind him not to leave the city and that the officers are watching him.


Pulaski begins to go to [[Big Smoke's House|Smoke's house]] in [[Idlewood]] and meets Carl [[Running Dog|briefly]] but [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|meets him again]] at Smoke's house where Tenpenny reminds Carl that he knows 'everything' about him and that he has his eye on him. Smoke, however, brushes these off by saying that Tenpenny and Pulaski won't leave him alone due to his connections with the Grove Street Families and has Carl help him kill [[Los Santos Vagos]] gangsters making a deal with the [[San Fierro Rifa]]. Carl also meets Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez at [[Ryder's House|Ryder's house]] in [[Grove Street]] where they tell them of a [[Catalyst|train loaded with weapons]] coming into the city, which Carl and Ryder then attack, taking the weapons.
Tenpenny and Pulaski later arrive at [[Big Smoke's House|a house]] in [[Idlewood]] belonging to high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]] on [[Running Dog|two]] [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|separate]] occasions, but without Hernandez, as they had become aware of Smoke and high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]]'s involvement in [[The Introduction|Beverly's death]] and their links to the [[Ballas]], [[Los Santos Vagos]] and [[San Fierro Rifa]]. Hernandez, however, continues to follow them to [[Ryder's House|Ryder's house]] in [[Grove Street]], where Tenpenny tells Ryder and Carl about an incoming [[Brown Streak Railroad|train]] coming to the city loaded with weapons, which is later [[Catalyst|attacked]] by the duo.  


Tenpenny and Pulaski, after helping Smoke and Ryder, begin to put pressure on Carl to work for him and first use their leverage to have Carl [[Burning Desire|kill]] a Los Santos Vagos 'cop-killing' gangster, which he does. Tenpenny and Pulaski then have Carl [[Gray Imports|disrupt]] a meeting between the Ballas and [[Russian Mafia]], with Carl killing everyone in the building. Carl then begins to work with others but is later [[Mobile Phone|called]] by Mexican-American [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] gang leader [[Cesar Vialpando]], his [[Kendl Johnson|sister Kendl's]] boyfriend, who asks him to meet up in an alleyway in [[Verdant Bluffs]]. Cesar and Carl then witness Tenpenny, Pulaski, Smoke and Ryder unveil the green [[Sabre]] used in Beverly's death. Carl then remembers his brother, [[Sweet]], who had gone to [[Mulholland Intersection]] for a shoot-out against the Ballas. Sweet is shot during the shooting and the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|Los Santos Police Department]] arrests him after ambushing the area.

Sweet is taken 'upstate' by the police but Carl, also present at the shoot-out, is taken by Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez to [[Angel Pine]] in [[Whetstone]]. Tenpenny and Pulaski tell Johnson of an ex-police officer being protected by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] as he is going to give states evidence against the two, although Hernandez is not mentioned. Hernandez, during this conversation, is urinating up a tree, suggesting that Tenpenny and Pulaski did not trust him. Carl, despite being left with no [[Weapons in GTA San Andreas|weapons]], [[Badlands|manages to kill the ex-police officer]] hiding on [[Mount Chiliad in GTA III Era|Mount Chiliad]] and [[Camera|photograph]] his corpse.
Sweet is taken 'upstate' by the police but Carl, also present at the shooting, is taken by Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez to [[Angel Pine]] in [[Whetstone]]. They have him [[Badlands|kill]] and then [[Camera|photograph]] an old police officer being protected by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] in a cabin on [[Mount Chiliad in GTA III Era|Mount Chiliad]], as he is about to turn state's evidence against Tenpenny.


Carl later [[Are You Going to San Fierro?|moves]] to [[San Fierro]] after winning a [[Doherty Garage|run down garage]] in [[Doherty]]. Shortly after arriving he is contacted by Tenpenny who has him go to the [[Vank Hoff Hotel]] in the [[Financial]] district to [[555 We Tip|take a DA's car]], while working as a valet, to put some of aging countryside hippie [[The Truth]]'s old marijuana, from his farm. Carl then phones crimestoppers to inform them of the DA, who is threatening to expose Tenpenny and Pulaski. The [[San Fierro Police Department]] then turn up and arrest the DA for possessing the marijuana. Tenpenny and Pulaski then turn up at Carl's garage and have him follow a journalist on his [[Brown Streak Railroad|journey]] to Los Santos where he meets his informant. Carl then [[Snail Trail|kills the two]] to again protect Tenpenny and Pulaski.
Tenpenny and Pulaski later appear at Carl's newfound [[Doherty Garage|garage]] in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]], telling him to [[Snail Trail|follow and kill a journalist and reporter]] looking into their activities. Hernandez, again, did not travel with them and was not mentioned as being investigated. Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez continue their work in Los Santos as police officers and attempt to cover up their criminal activities. Tenpenny and Pulaski later meet Carl at a house in [[Prickle Pine]], [[Las Venturas]] where Tenpenny tells him that the 'gig is nearly up'. They have Carl [[Misappropriation|retrieve a dossier and kill a DEA and an FBI agent]] during their meeting in [[Aldea Malvada]], a ghost town, which he does. Pulaski, during this meeting, tells Tenpenny that Hernandez has 'been gone too long', indicating that he is giving evidence against the two to internal affairs.

[[File:HighNoon-GTASA.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Jimmy Hernandez, on the ground,knocked out, after being hit over the head with a [[Shovel|shovel]] by [[Frank Tenpenny]] during [[High Noon]].]]
Carl continues to enjoy life in San Fierro before moving out into [[Tierra Robada]] and [[Bone County]], and then settling into [[Las Venturas]]. He is contacted again by Tenpenny and Pulaski from a house in [[Prickle Pine]]. Tenpenny informs Carl that despite their efforts, the corrupt officers are in grave jeopardy. He then asks Carl to go to [[Aldea Malvada]], a ghost town, to [[Misappropriation|collect a dossier and kill the DEA and FBI agent]], which Carl does. He later meets the two at [[Las Brujas]], another ghost town, where he hands the dossier to Pulaski while Hernandez holds him at gun point.  
Hernandez later travels with Tenpenny and Pulaski to the ghost town [[Las Brujas]] to meet Carl for collecting the dossier he had taken from the DEA and FBI agent. Hernandez holds Carl at gunpoint as Pulaski collects the dossier but is then hit on the head with a [[Shovel|shovel]] by Tenpenny for giving evidence against the two to internal affairs, confirming their earlier [[Misappropriation|suspicions]]. Hernandez lays on the ground injured and, after Tenpenny had left and Pulaski was distracted, attempted to save Carl's life by rushing Pulaski, who was holding Carl at gun point. Pulaski, however, [[High Noon|quickly turns around and shoots Hernandez, who dies]].


Tenpenny exits the police car and gets a [[Shovel|shovel]] from the boot before hitting Hernandez over the head. Hernandez falls to the ground and is hit again by a furious Tenpenny as Hernandez had been giving information to internal affairs. Tenpenny, however, is likely to have known about this since Carl was in San Fierro as he did not mention Hernandez when talking about the [[555 We Tip|DA]] and [[Snail Trail|journalist]], only stating that he and Pulaski were the targets. Pulaski also [[Misappropriation|tells]] Tenpenny that Hernandez was 'taking too long' while on an errand, showing his suspicions. Tenpenny then hands the shovel to Carl and, thinking that Hernandez was dead, leaves 'to get drunk and get laid'. Tenpenny leaves and Carl digs a grave, although he escapes his intended fate with help from Hernandez, who is shot and killed by Pulaski. Feeling sorry and infuriated for Hernandez, Carl then [[High Noon|chases Pulaski and kills him]] after listening to Pulaski's insults regarding Beverly's death and Kendl's relations with Cesar. Carl, who had attempted to convince Pulaski of Tenpenny's selfishness, kills Pulaski by stamping on his head after Pulaski mockingly claims that his last wish is to have sex with Kendl. The deaths of Pulaski and Hernandez effectively end the C.R.A.S.H.
Hernandez' actions, however, allow Carl to escape and kill Pulaski. The evidence Hernandez gave to internal affairs is later used to arrest Tenpenny. The district attorney puts both Tenpenny and Pulaski, who was tried in absentia, on trial for racketeering, corruption, narcotics and sexual assault. The case, however, is dismissed due to a lack of evidence. A television reporter, during the [[Riot (GTA SA)|trial]], reveals that the authorities believe that Hernandez was killed for giving information to internal affairs. Carl, however, is [[End of the Line|involved in a long pursuit]] of Tenpenny, which resulted in his death after driving a [[Fire Truck|fire truck]] over a bridge into Grove Street.


===After death===
==Murders committed==
The authorities later arrest [[Frank Tenpenny]] and charge him and Pulaski, who they believe is on the run after his body was left in the desert and not found, with racketeering, corruption, narcotics and sexual assault. The case, however, is dismissed by the DA's office due to a lack of evidence. The result of the trial sends the city's poorer neighbourhoods into chaos as [[Riot (GTA SA)|riots]] ensue. Carl also keeps Pulaski's death a secret as Kendl, during the [[Riot (GTA SA)|coverage of the case]], is unaware of it.

==Personality==
==Trivia==
Pulaski is a hot-headed man and is prone to outbursts of violence, as seen during [[The Introduction]] when he violently beats [[Ralph Pendelbury]], almost killing him, although he and Tenpenny have Hernandez kill him instead. He is also extremely confident, often over confident, as seen during [[High Noon]] when, despite being chased by Carl, he makes remarks regarding Beverly, stating that half of her face was falling off after her death, and about Kendl and Cesar.
*Hernandez is revealed as being Mexican when Pulaski apologises to Hernandez after calling a [[Taxi]] driver a 'stupid Mexican' during the [[First Mission (GTA SA)|opening cutscene]] of GTA San Andreas.
*Hernandez only speaks during a [[Mobile Phone|phone call]] to Carl, telling him not to leave the [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|city]] after almost blowing his undercover role in C.R.A.S.H. due to his initially talkative approach when dealing with Tenpenny and Pulaski.

Jimmy Hernandez is a character in the 3D Universe who appears as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. A rookie member of the policing unit for Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums, alongside primary antagonist and unit leader Frank Tenpenny and his accomplice, quaternary antagonist Edward "Eddie" Pulaski, he is voiced by Armando Riesco.

Character history

Before 1992

Hernandez was born in an unknown location, and, at some point prior to 1992, joined the Los Santos Police Department in 1989. His biggest case, prior to joining C.R.A.S.H., was a domestic violence case where a man was beating up his wife, a drug addict who nearly allowed their child to starve. Hernandez was then transferred to C.R.A.S.H. as an undercover officer to investigate fellow officers Tenpenny and Pulaski who had been taking the law into their own hands and encouraging gang violence in Los Santos' poorer neighbourhoods, after they received information from C.R.A.S.H. officer Ralph Pendelbury about their activities. Hernandez, however, tells Tenpenny and Pulaski that he realized that the only crime in Los Santos was gang crime and joined C.R.A.S.H. for the same. Hernandez, however, almost loses his chance to work in C.R.A.S.H. when talking to Tenpenny and Pulaski about his past three years of service. Tenpenny then orders him to get out of their car in East Los Santos. Hernandez, however, is later accepted back and the corrupt Tenpenny and Pulaski quickly initiate him into their criminal activities after Hernandez told them he was prepared to do whatever it took to reduce the crime in the city. The three then drive to meet Pendelbury, who is badly beaten by Pulaski before being killed by a reluctant Hernandez, who was being held at gunpoint by Tenpenny.

Life with Carl Johnson

Hernandez, alongside Tenpenny and Pulaski, is first seen arresting protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson in Ganton on his return to Los Santos from Liberty City for his mother Beverly's funeral. The three then drive Carl around the city's poorer neighbourhoods and hand him the gun that Hernandez had used to kill Pendelbury ten minutes previously, thus giving them leverage over Carl. The three then throw him from their moving police car, leaving him in Jefferson, a part of the city controlled by Carl's gang rivals, the Ballas, and return to the scene of Pendelbury's murder. Hernandez continues to work with Tenpenny and Pulaski, and later phones Carl to remind him not to leave the city and that the officers are watching him.

Tenpenny and Pulaski later arrive at a house in Idlewood belonging to high-ranking Grove Street Families member Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris on two separate occasions, but without Hernandez, as they had become aware of Smoke and high-ranking Grove Street Families member Lance "Ryder" Wilson's involvement in Beverly's death and their links to the Ballas, Los Santos Vagos and San Fierro Rifa. Hernandez, however, continues to follow them to Ryder's house in Grove Street, where Tenpenny tells Ryder and Carl about an incoming train coming to the city loaded with weapons, which is later attacked by the duo.

Hernandez meets Johnson while with Tenpenny and Pulaski again when Tenpenny orders Carl to kill a 'cop killing' Los Santos Vagos gangster and of a deal between the Ballas and Russian Mafia, which Carl later interupts. Carl is later involved in a gang shoot-out between the Ballas and Grove Street Families in Mulholland Intersection, after witnessing Tenpenny, Pulaski, Smoke and Ryder with the green Sabre used in Beverly's murder. Carl and his brother, Grove Street Families leader Sean "Sweet" Johnson, who was shot during the shoot-out, are both arrested by the Los Santos Police Department when they ambush the area.

Badlands, San Fierro and Las Venturas

Sweet is taken 'upstate' by the police but Carl, also present at the shoot-out, is taken by Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez to Angel Pine in Whetstone. Tenpenny and Pulaski tell Johnson of an ex-police officer being protected by the FBI as he is going to give states evidence against the two, although Hernandez is not mentioned. Hernandez, during this conversation, is urinating up a tree, suggesting that Tenpenny and Pulaski did not trust him. Carl, despite being left with no weapons, manages to kill the ex-police officer hiding on Mount Chiliad and photograph his corpse.

Tenpenny and Pulaski later appear at Carl's newfound garage in Doherty, San Fierro, telling him to follow and kill a journalist and reporter looking into their activities. Hernandez, again, did not travel with them and was not mentioned as being investigated. Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez continue their work in Los Santos as police officers and attempt to cover up their criminal activities. Tenpenny and Pulaski later meet Carl at a house in Prickle Pine, Las Venturas where Tenpenny tells him that the 'gig is nearly up'. They have Carl retrieve a dossier and kill a DEA and an FBI agent during their meeting in Aldea Malvada, a ghost town, which he does. Pulaski, during this meeting, tells Tenpenny that Hernandez has 'been gone too long', indicating that he is giving evidence against the two to internal affairs.

Death and legacy

Jimmy Hernandez, on the ground,knocked out, after being hit over the head with a shovel by Frank Tenpenny during High Noon.

Hernandez later travels with Tenpenny and Pulaski to the ghost town Las Brujas to meet Carl for collecting the dossier he had taken from the DEA and FBI agent. Hernandez holds Carl at gunpoint as Pulaski collects the dossier but is then hit on the head with a shovel by Tenpenny for giving evidence against the two to internal affairs, confirming their earlier suspicions. Hernandez lays on the ground injured and, after Tenpenny had left and Pulaski was distracted, attempted to save Carl's life by rushing Pulaski, who was holding Carl at gun point. Pulaski, however, quickly turns around and shoots Hernandez, who dies.

Hernandez' actions, however, allow Carl to escape and kill Pulaski. The evidence Hernandez gave to internal affairs is later used to arrest Tenpenny. The district attorney puts both Tenpenny and Pulaski, who was tried in absentia, on trial for racketeering, corruption, narcotics and sexual assault. The case, however, is dismissed due to a lack of evidence. A television reporter, during the trial, reveals that the authorities believe that Hernandez was killed for giving information to internal affairs. Carl, however, is involved in a long pursuit of Tenpenny, which resulted in his death after driving a fire truck over a bridge into Grove Street.

Murders committed

  • Ralph Pendelbury (Killed on Tenpenny's orders whilst being threatened with execution by Tenpenny)

Trivia

  • Hernandez is revealed as being Mexican when Pulaski apologises to Hernandez after calling a Taxi driver a 'stupid Mexican' during the opening cutscene of GTA San Andreas.
  • Hernandez only speaks during a phone call to Carl, telling him not to leave the city after almost blowing his undercover role in C.R.A.S.H. due to his initially talkative approach when dealing with Tenpenny and Pulaski.
