|
Wu Zi Mu
Introduced in: "Wu Zi Mu"
Wu Zi Mu (known to his friends as "Woozie") is the blind leader of the Mountain Cloud Boys 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.

Kent Paul
Introduced in: "The Introduction"; recording studio cutscene
Record producer extraordinaire, Kent Paul (Paul, from Kent, UK) has brought a new English band, the Gurning Chimps, to San Andreas to have them noticed, but then he finds himself stranded in the desert with only one member remaining (Maccer). Rescued by CJ then after, he quickly heads to Las Venturas to meet his old acquaintance Ken Rosenberg, or "Rosie". Later, he starts producing for Madd Dogg after Madd Dogg's career got back on track.
Kent Paul is also affiliated with The Truth, who he and Maccer were taking peyote with in the desert.
Kent Paul was again voiced by Danny Dyer.
Maccer
Introduced in: "The Introduction"; recording studio cutscene
Maccer is a Manchester native, lead singer of the Gurning Chimps band and Kent Paul's partner. He has uncontrollable sexual tendencies, which are shown in the opening cutscenes of missions "Vertical Bird" and "Cut Throat Business" and during a conversation between Sweet and CJ in "Riot".
Maccer was voiced by Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays.
Ken Rosenberg
Introduced in: "The Introduction"; drug clinic cutscene
Ken Rosenberg is the middle man for three Mafia families (the Leones, the Forellis and the Sindaccos) in Las Venturas, managing Caligula's Casino. Highly paranoid and insecure, Ken feared for his death at the hands of one of the Mafia families, for which the other families would blame each other. Ken's companions are Maccer, Kent Paul and a parrot named Tony; he also provides CJ with a few jobs in Las Venturas. After faking his death and escaping from the clutches of the Mafia in Las Venturas (courtesy of CJ), he settles with working as an accountant for Madd Dogg, along with Maccer and Kent Paul.
In GTA Vice City, he was Tommy Vercetti's lawyer. This was referenced in one mission, when Rosenberg says to CJ: "It's just like the old days, Tommy." In The Introduction, it's revealed that Tommy inexplicably began to avoid Ken as he has stopped taking his calls. The Introduction also displays Rosenberg sniffing continuously and scratching his nose; this suggests he still has his cocaine habit, which started in Vice City. In San Andreas, he makes comments that he was in rehab. Despite successfully kicking the habit, he resumed drug abuse later in the storyline. He has a nosebleed in the ending scene San Andreas, but refuses a hankerchief from Maccer.
Ken Rosenberg was once again voiced by William Fichtner.
Salvatore Leone
Introduced in: "The Introduction"; Salvatore's mansion cutscene
Don Salvatore Leone is a recurring head of the Leone Family. He eliminated the influence of the other Mafia families, the Sindaccos and the Forellis, in Las Venturas, with the help of CJ, in order for Salvatore to assume a larger share of Caligula Palace in Las Venturas. However, he is betrayed when CJ and his cohorts stage an elaborate heist and rob Caligula's Casino for millions of dollars. This event is believed to have led to his much noted paranoia in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (GTA:LCS) and Grand Theft Auto III (GTA III), and his eventual death in the latter.
In addition, it was during San Andreas that Salvatore was introduced to Maria, who worked as a waitress in Caligula Palace at the time.
Salvatore was voiced a second time by Frank Vincent.
Zero
Introduced in: "Wear Flowers in Your Hair"
Zero is a 28-year-old electronics expert and hobbyist who owns a hobby shop in San Fierro. His archenemy is Berkley, the owner of Top Fun, who swore revenge on Zero after losing to him in a science fair. Using Zero's equipment, Carl aids Zero in disrupting Berkley's business operations and ultimately beating Berkley in a miniature "war game", forcing Berkley to leave San Fierro for good.
Later on, Zero can be seen providing electronic equipment for a number of jobs, as well as providing assistance in the Caligula Casino heist. By the end of the heist, he is seemingly knocked out after one punch from Carl, after Carl realizes that he told Berkley about the heist, complicating the job and putting the operation at risk.
Zero was voiced by, and had his appearance based on, David Cross.
Minor characters
Jizzy B.
Introduced in: "Photo Opportunity"
Killed in: "Ice Cold Killa"
Jizzy B. is the biggest pimp in San Fierro who owns a club dubbed the "Pleasure Dome" in Battery Point, San Fierro. It is an adult entertainment place, where Jizzy makes sure he has all the fun he wants. He is one of the members of the Loco Syndicate, which is manufacturing and supplying drugs to Los Santos. Though having a big part in the syndicate's trades, he only receives a small amount of the profits. Jizzy is killed by CJ during a car chase in the mission "Ice Cold Killa," when he tries to escape his club with his bodyguard using his "pimpmobile" after CJ betrays him. It is interesting to note that Jizzy's name is similar to "Jizz," a slang term for semen.
Jizzy was voiced by Charlie Murphy.
T-Bone Mendez
Introduced in: "The Introduction"; Mendez & Toreno cutscene
Killed in: "Pier 69"
T-Bone Mendez is the final member of the Loco Syndicate along with Mike Toreno, Jizzy, and Ryder. He is also the leader of the San Fierro Rifa. T-Bone acts as the Loco Syndicate's muscle and is very distrustful of people (he beats a man to death in The Introduction simply because he suspects that the man is a snitch). T-Bone is killed in the mission "Pier 69" when both CJ and Cesar Vialpando shoot his dying body right into the bay.
Mendez's voice is played by rapper Kid Frost. "La Raza", a rap song produced by Kid Frost, is featured in the playlist of Radio Los Santos and the game's soundtrack.
Jimmy Hernandez
Introduced in: "The Introduction"; Pendelbury cutscene
Killed in: "High Noon"
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.
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.
He was voiced by Armando Riesco.
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
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
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
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
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.
Ran Fa Li
Introduced in: "Ran Fa Li"
Ran Fa Li, otherwise known as Farlie, is the leader of the Red Gecko Tong Triads in San Fierro. It's Woozie's job to do well in front of Farlie, because Farlie outranks him. He is speechless throughout the game, preferring to simply grunt. CJ does a few jobs for Wu Zi Mu on behalf of Ran Fa Li, one of which includes driving a vehicle out into the San Fierro countryside as a decoy, to lure the Da Nang Boys away from Wu Zi Mu's betting shop, where Ran Fa Li is hiding from them.
Ran Fa Li was voiced by Hunter Platin.
Su Xi Mu
Introduced in: "Jizzy"
Su Xi Mu (nicknamed "Suzie") is one of Woozie's high ranking Mountain Cloud Boys Triad members and assistant to Woozie. Additionally, he assists CJ in the preperation and execution of the Caligula's Casino heist.

Introduced in: "Ran Fa Li"

Dwaine and Jethro
Introduced in: "Wear Flowers in Your Hair"
Dwaine and Jethro are close associates featured briefly in GTA: Vice City as the owners of a boat dock bought off by Tommy Vercetti. At the time of their introduction in San Andreas, Jethro is the owner and operator of the Xoomer Gas Station in San Fierro, while Dwaine runs a hot dog van business nearby. Both men accepted the job to become mechanics and help out at CJ's garage. They are known to smoke marijuana.
Jethro's name could be said to have come from the band Jethro Tull as he bares a striking resemblance to the lead singer Ian Anderson.
Dwaine was voiced for the second time by Navid Khonsa; Jethro was also voiced for the second time by John Zurhellen.
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
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, 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, 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 "mute" and a "snake without a tongue."
- See also: GTA III rendition, as the protagonist of GTA III.
Millie Perkins
Introduced in: "Key to Her Heart"
Millie Perkins is a croupier at the mob-run Caligula's Palace casino. She becomes CJ's second (story-line) girlfriend when CJ seduces her in order to get her keycard to facilitate his robbery of Caligula's Palace. However, assuming the player kills Millie before acquiring the card, Woozie would later instruct CJ by phone to take her card from her house. Millie is fond of BDSM.
Millie was voiced by Orfeh.
Emmet
Introduced in: "Nines and AKs"
Emmet is a gun dealer in Los Santos. He provides weapons for the GSF, and knows the Johnson family. Sweet and Big Smoke stopped going to Emmet once the families split up, but CJ convinced them to start buying from him again shortly after he returned to San Andreas.
