'''Cesar "Ces" Vialpando''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] who appears as a tritagonist in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. Ranking as a [[Gang Leaders|gang leader]] of the Mexican-American [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] based in [[El Corona]] and [[Little Mexico]] in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], he lives in El Corona and is the boyfriend and later fiancée of [[Kendl Johnson]], and is voiced by [[Clifton Collins Jr.]].


'''Cesar Vialpando''' is [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl's]] boyfriend and leader of the hispanic street gang, [[Varrios Los Aztecas]]. At first, [[Carl Johnson|CJ]] does have some difficulties with him, but he becomes CJ's best friend. He introduces himself to CJ after CJ wins a lowrider contest, helps CJ and the [[Grove Street Families]] get back to the top, and remains a loyal friend to CJ for the duration of the game. He is also an excellent lowrider driver.
==Character history==
===Life in Los Santos===
Cesar Vialpando was born in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], presumably in [[El Corona]] or [[Little Mexico]], and at an unknown time joined the [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] street gang, rising through the gang to become its [[Gang Leaders|leader]]. At some prior to [[1992]], he began dating [[Kendl Johnson]], the sister of [[Grove Street Families]] leader [[Sweet|Sean "Sweet" Johnson]], who [[Sweet & Kendl|did not trust him or his motives]]. Sweet later has an argument with Kendl and tells their brother, [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]], to follow her to a lowrider challenger being held at [[Unity Station]]. Carl, in an attempt to prove himself, [[Cesar Vialpando (mission)|takes part in the a challenge and beats his opponent]] from the Varrios Los Aztecas.


Like CJ, Cesar was forced to leave [[Los Santos]] with Kendl after the intinal [[Ballas]] Ambush on the Grove Street Families, and his gang's influence in the city diminished sharply. While in exile, he gets CJ into some grief by introducing him to his cousin, [[Catalina]]. After arriving in [[San Fierro]], he and CJ work together to get revenge on the people who double crossed them. Together, they were able to kill [[T-Bone Mendez]]. Later, Cesar puts his driving skills to good use by aiding CJ in obtaining several sports cars for their newly established car business. During one of the last missions of the game- "[[Los Desperados]]", Cesar tells CJ he wants to propose to Kendl. He wants CJ talk to [[Sean Johnson|Sweet]] about this because Sweet expresses his disaproval of Cesar in the early stages of the game.
Following his victory, Carl meets Kendl and Cesar and the two become friends, agreeing to meet again in a [[High Stakes, Low Rider|street race across Los Santos]], which Carl wins. Cesar later cements his friendship with Carl by [[The Green Sabre|showing him the true nature]] of high-ranking Grove Street Families members [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]] and [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]], who had betrayed the Grove Street Families by working with the [[Ballas]] and [[C.R.A.S.H.]] leaders [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]]. Cesar is later forced to leave Los Santos after the [[Los Santos Vagos]], the arch rivals of the Varrios Los Aztecas, take control of El Corona and Little Mexico. Kendl accompanies him to [[Angel Pine]] in [[Whetstone]], where they meet Carl who had been [[The Green Sabre|dumped there]] by Tenpenny, Pulaski and C.R.A.S.H. rookie [[Jimmy Hernandez]].


Cesar was voiced by [[Clifton Collins Jr.]], who broke into mainstream in 1997 as gang thug Cesar In the film 187.
===Life in the countryside===
Cesar is initially desperate to return to Los Santos and kill as many drug dealers as possible, despite knowing that he is on a hitlist, but is convinced to stay in Angel Pine by Carl, who tells him that he would only get himself killed. Cesar later tells Carl to meet his cousin, [[Catalina]], with the two entering a relationship and [[Tanker Commander|robbing]] [[Small Town Bank|various]] [[Local Liquor Store|small]] [[Against All Odds|businesses]]. Cesar later [[Mobile Phone|phones]] Carl to take part in an [[Wu Zi Mu (mission)|illegal street race]] in [[Red County]], which both participate in, with Carl winning. The two also meet [[Wu Zi Mu|Wu Zi "Woozie" Mu]], the leader of the [[San Fierro Triads|Triads]] in [[San Fierro]].

Character history

Life in Los Santos

Cesar Vialpando was born in Los Santos, presumably in El Corona or Little Mexico, and at an unknown time joined the Varrios Los Aztecas street gang, rising through the gang to become its leader. At some prior to 1992, he began dating Kendl Johnson, the sister of Grove Street Families leader Sean "Sweet" Johnson, who did not trust him or his motives. Sweet later has an argument with Kendl and tells their brother, Carl "CJ" Johnson, to follow her to a lowrider challenger being held at Unity Station. Carl, in an attempt to prove himself, takes part in the a challenge and beats his opponent from the Varrios Los Aztecas.

Following his victory, Carl meets Kendl and Cesar and the two become friends, agreeing to meet again in a street race across Los Santos, which Carl wins. Cesar later cements his friendship with Carl by showing him the true nature of high-ranking Grove Street Families members Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris and Lance "Ryder" Wilson, who had betrayed the Grove Street Families by working with the Ballas and C.R.A.S.H. leaders Frank Tenpenny and Edward "Eddie" Pulaski. Cesar is later forced to leave Los Santos after the Los Santos Vagos, the arch rivals of the Varrios Los Aztecas, take control of El Corona and Little Mexico. Kendl accompanies him to Angel Pine in Whetstone, where they meet Carl who had been dumped there by Tenpenny, Pulaski and C.R.A.S.H. rookie Jimmy Hernandez.

Life in the countryside

Cesar is initially desperate to return to Los Santos and kill as many drug dealers as possible, despite knowing that he is on a hitlist, but is convinced to stay in Angel Pine by Carl, who tells him that he would only get himself killed. Cesar later tells Carl to meet his cousin, Catalina, with the two entering a relationship and robbing various small businesses.
