===Wu Zi Mu===
[[Image:WuZiMu.jpg|left|thumb|Wu Zi Mu]]
Introduced in: "[[Wu Zi Mu (mission)|Wu Zi Mu]]"
[[Wu Zi Mu]] (known to his friends as "'''Woozie'''") is the blind leader of the Mountain Cloud Boys [[San Fierro Triads|Triads]], based in San Fierro's Chinatown and in Las Venturas, where he owns the newly opened [[Four Dragons Casino]]. In Las Venturas, Woozie and CJ plot a robbery at [[Caligula's Casino]], as well as participating in the robbery itself.
Woozie is nicknamed the "Lucky Mole" because he is blessed with good fortune, most notably from his capability to compete in a car race and beating Carl in a round of video games, all despite his blindness. There are, however, humorous occasions when he runs into walls, as well as indications that his cohorts manipulate the outcome of games played with Woozie so that he would always win. For example, Woozie always beats his underlings at blackjack, despite the fact he can't read the cards. In the one game he plays against Carl, Woozie keeps asking for cards until he finally stands with 47 (later calling Carl "bad luck"). Another time, while practicing putting, his henchmen move the target cup into the path of Woozie's ball and out of the path of CJ's. Woozie is also incapable of swimming, since his other working senses are ineffective underwater.
Though Woozie can be just as brutal and foul-mouthed as a Grove Street Families gang member when angered, he is by all accounts a peaceful and, within the realm of criminals, honorable man. He is one whom power has not tainted, and as such, Woozie remains a faithful and trustworthy friend, accomplice, and informant to Carl to the end of the game.
Woozie was voiced by James Yaegashi.

Officer [[Jimmy Hernandez]] is the latest member of C.R.A.S.H. He is the rookie officer, and is given little, if any, respect from Tenpenny and Pulaski. Unlike his other two counterparts, he didn't share their corrupt view of how the law should be handled. They both try to convince Hernandez through the genre of their daily work such as shooting a dying man both Tenpenny and Pulaski beat down to keep from talking.

| Johnny Sindacco is a leading member of the [[Sindacco Family]], who own the [[Caligula's Palace]] casino in [[Las Venturas]]. He convinces [[Salvatore Leone]] to invest $5 million in the casino and later begins to damage slot machines in the [[San Fierro Triads|Triad]]-owned [[Four Dragons Casino]]. Carl Johnson has him tied to the hood of car and scares him into telling him which [[Mafia]] family he is with. He is later targetted by the [[Forelli Family]], although Carl rescues him, although Johnny later dies of a heart attack after recognising Carl.<br>Voiced by [[Casey Siemaszko]].
In The Introduction prequel film, he is berated by Tenpenny for voicing his belief that he had to make a difficult decision in a domestic dispute case; Tenpenny clearly has experienced far harsher things than this and orders Hernandez to leave the squad car they were travelling in.

After he finally realizes that things have been taken too far with Tenpenny's multiple acts of conspiracy, he decides to report all of C.R.A.S.H.'s crimes of corruption up to the point where he was working with them. He is then killed in the mission "High Noon" for selling out Tenpenny and Pulaski and almost ends up buried in Bone County by Pulaski and (to a larger extent) a reluctant CJ.

===Johnny Sindacco===
[[Image:J Sindacco.jpg|right|thumb|Johnny Sindacco]]
Introduced in: "[[The Introduction]]"; Salvatore's mansion cutscene
 
Died in: "[[The Meat Business]]"
 
[[Johnny Sindacco]] is the head of the Sindacco family of the [[Mafia]]. His organization has turf in Liberty City and Las Venturas. When CJ first arrives in Las Venturas to Woozie's newly opened casino, Johnny has been caught smashing up some of the slot machines. As Woozie's men are about to throw Johnny back out of the casino, CJ intervenes and has Johnny tied to the hood of a car stomach down, facing the front windscreen. CJ then drives the car around the city dangerously in order to scare Johnny into telling him which Mafia family he's with.
 
Having been traumatized by the experience, Johnny spends time recovering in the hospital. At one point, some Forelli thugs highjack Johnny's [[ambulance]] in order to kill him. As CJ is helping Ken Rosenberg to prevent a war between the Leones, the Forellis, and the Sindaccos, CJ highjacks the ambulance back from the Forelli thugs and drives Johnny back to safety. However, when CJ later accompanies Ken to a meeting with Johnny, Johnny recognizes CJ, and having not fully recovered from his trauma, dies from a shock-induced heart attack.
 
Johnny Sindacco was voiced by Casey Siemaszko.
 
===Maria===
[[Image:MariaLatoreSA.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Maria Latore with Salvatore Leone]]
Introduced in: "[[Freefall]]"
 
[[Maria Latore]] (also referred to as Maria La Torra by several sources, including the voice-over credits in the San Andreas game manual) is a waitress in the Caligula's Palace casino. Appearing briefly during Don Salvatore Leone's presence in Las Venturas, she would be seen beginning to establish a closer relationship with the Don, which explains the origins of her ties with him in GTA III and GTA:LCS. Maria was voiced for a second time by Debi Mazar.
 
===Old Reece===
[[Image:Old Reece.jpg|right|thumb|Old Reece]]
Introduced in: "[[Ryder (Mission)]]"
 
[[Old Reece]] is a local barber, seen at Old Reece's Hair Facial Studio in Los Santos. He has known the Johnson family for a long time. This is evident by his casual attitude toward Carl among some of the things he says. He is also evidently not in the loop of gossip in Los Santos, as even after Big Smoke's death in the game, he asks CJ to "tell Big Smoke he needs a cut" (even though Big Smoke is bald).  With this is a hint he may have Alzheimers disease.
 
Old Reece's voice actor is unknown and there is speculation that his character model was based off Morgan Freeman.
 
===B-Dup===
[[Image:B-Dup.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Mark "B-Dup" Wayne]]
Introduced in: "[[Cleaning the Hood]]"
 
[[Mark Wayne]], or "B-Dup", has apparently drifted away from gang banging with the Grove Street Families and now sells drugs, mainly for the money. CJ and Ryder attempt to recruit B-Dup for a mission near the beginning of the game, but they are angrily turned down. B-Dup has also "enslaved" crack addict (and former GSF member) Barry "Big Bear" Thorne, forcing him to do chores around the apartment in exchange for drugs. Near the end of the game, B-Dup is punched out by Big Bear.
 
B-Dup was voiced by The Game.
 
===Big Bear===
[[Image:Big Bear.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Barry "Big Bear"Thorne]]
Introduced in: "[[Cleaning the Hood]]"
 
[[Barry Thorne]], or "Big Bear", was once a member of the Grove Street Families but is forced to be B-Dup's "slave," suffering from drug addiction and mental anguish turning him into a Basehead. Big Bear appears in only two mission cutscenes; the second features Big Bear tired of being controlled by drugs and B-Dup, punching B-Dup and begging to rejoin the GSF. CJ and Sweet accepts his request, and it is assumed that Big Bear would go through drug rehabilitation.
 
Big Bear was voiced by Kurt Alexander, aka Big Boy.

===Denise Robinson===
[[Image:Denise.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Denise Robinson]]
Introduced in: "[[Burning Desire]]"
[[Denise Robinson]] is one of only two story-line girlfriends in San Andreas. She is the first girlfriend CJ gets in the game after he rescues her from a burning house fire in the mission "Burning Desire". When CJ goes out with Denise, she likes to stay local and she likes to do drive-bys on the way. She is also a member of the Grove Street Families despite not wearing green and because she's CJ's girlfriend. However, in the mission "[[A Home In The Hills]]" a character striking a very close resembalance to Denise is seen with the Los Santos Vagos. She even does a shout out on [[Radio Los Santos]] that she is "desperate" for CJ's attention.
Denise was voiced by Heather Alicia Simms.
===Claude===
[[Image:GTASA Claude.jpg|left|200px|thumb|[[Claude]] as seen in GTA San Andreas]]
''Introduced in: "[[Farewell, My Love...]]", but can be seen in the background of "[[Wu Zi Mu]]".
'''Claude''', the [[silent protagonist]] of ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', [[cameo appearance|appears briefly]] in two missions, first in the background as CJ and Cesar meet Wu Zi Mu for a street race, and secondly as Catalina's next boyfriend after CJ, whom Catalina is not hesitant to boast about after she breaks up with CJ. After losing in a car race with CJ, Claude and Catalina leave San Andreas for [[Liberty City (Grand Theft Auto)|Liberty City]], where Claude's exploits in ''GTA III'' take place some nine years later.
Later, CJ receives several phone calls from Catalina, two of which references a person named "Claude." This suggests the main character of ''GTA III'' is in fact called "Claude," assuming Catalina is referring to him. Claude maintains his silence in ''GTA:SA'', to which Carl Johnson references, referring him as a "[[Speech disorder|mute]]" and a "snake without a tongue."
