'''Lance Wilson''', better known as '''Ryder''', is a character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] (set in [[1992]]). Ryder appeared as a high ranking member of the [[Grove Street Families]] who later joined forces with the [[Ballas]], [[Los Santos Vagos]] and [[Russian Mafia]]. He is voiced by [[MC Eiht]], a rapper who has appeared in films such as ''Menace II Society''. | |||
==Character history== | |||
===Early life=== | |||
Ryder was born in [[Los Santos]], likely in [[Ganton]] due to his close relationship with [[Sweet]] and [[Carl Johnson]], and he later became a member of the [[Grove Street Families]]. Ryder was once thrown out of school for wearing [[Ballas]] colours, although Ryder claims this was because he was too intelligent for school. He rose up the ranks of the gang until becoming one of Sweet's closest allies, being helped by the departure of [[Carl Johnson]] in [[1987]] following his [[Brian Johnson|brothers]] death. The Grove Street Families, however, began to lose influence, power and money to their arch rivals, the Ballas, due to their stance against the sale of drugs, which was fuelling the Ballas rise to prominence. [[Big Smoke]] attempted to convince Sweet about the benefits of selling drugs but failed, later meeting Ryder in his [[Ryder's House|house]] where he convinces him to joins his newly formed alliance with the Ballas. The alliance is later expanded to include the [[Los Santos Vagos]] and [[Russian Mafia]], while another was established with the [[Loco Syndicate]], who began supplying the new alliance with drugs from their base in [[San Fierro]], although they do not realise that an [[Mike Toreno|undercover government agent]] is involved in the operation. Ryder and Smoke also played a part in the murder of [[Beverly Johnson]] (the mother of Sweet and Carl), which was committed by the Ballas using a green [[Sabre]], although they were aiming for Sweet. | |||
===Life with Carl Johnson=== | |||
The death of Beverly Johnson brings her son, Carl Johnson, back to Los Santos from [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. Johnson meets Ryder again shortly after the [[Sweet & Kendl|funeral]] where they are attacked by a group of Ballas gangsters performing a drive-by shooting, destroying Smoke's [[Perennial|vehicle]]. Johnson, Sweet, Smoke and Ryder then use [[Bicycle|bicycles]] to flee the area. The four cycle to [[Mulholland Intersection]] where Sweet breaks away from the group, drawing the Ballas vehicle, allowing Carl, Smoke and Ryder to escape. The three are briefly followed again by a Ballas car, although the Ballas do not aim their guns at Smoke and Ryder due to their alliance, a fact missed by the Johnson brothers. Smoke also refuses to shoot at a Ballas car performing a [[Drive-Thru|drive-by shooting]], claiming he did not wish to waste the food they had just ordered, although Ryder does start shooting the Ballas. | |||
Ryder continues his life as normal with the Grove Street Families, often being seen with Sweet and Johnson. He begins to hire Johnson to do various tasks, the first being to drive to [[The Well Stacked Pizza Co.]] fast food restaurant in [[Idlewood]], where [[Ryder (mission)|Ryder attempted to rob the store]] but was thwarted by the manager. Ryder later assists Johnson to [[Cleaning the Hood|kill a drug dealer]] and then a number of Ballas gangsters who were associated with the dealer in a home in Idlewood. Ryder also hires Johnson to help him [[Home Invasion|steal weapons]] from the home of [[Colonel Fuhrberger]] in [[East Beach]], [[Catalyst|steal a weapons shipment]] from a [[Brown Streak Railroad|train]] coming from [[Las Venturas]] and to [[Robbing Uncle Sam|steal weapons]] from the [[National Guard Depot]] in [[Ocean Docks]]. | |||
Ryder later accompanies Johnson, Sweet and Smoke to the [[Cluckin' Bell]] fast food restaurant in [[Willowfield]], where they a group Ballas attempt a drive-by shooting. The four survive and destroy the Ballas car. Ryder is again seen when the four [[Nines and AKs|discuss the gangs weapons]] and later performs a number of drive-by shootings with the three in [[East Los Santos]] and [[Jefferson]]. He also attended a [[House Party|party]] thrown by [[OG Loc]] in Grove Street. | |||
[[ | |||
Ryder | Sweet later arranges a [[Reuniting the Families|meeting]] at the [[Jefferson Motel]] between the various sub-sects of the Grove Street Families, in an attempt to bring the factions back together to fight the Ballas. Ryder, upon arriving with Johnson, Carl and Smoke, criticises the non-Grove Street gangsters, which Johnson and Sweet do not realise is an attack on the gang rather than the sub-sects. Sweet enters the motel on his own and, when the [[Los Santos Police Department]] ambush the meeting, Ryder and Smoke flee the scene in Sweet's [[Greenwood]]. The two, however, later re-appear at the side of the motel and drive away from the pursuing police, driving the car through a [[Sprunk]] billboard. The car explodes upon landing on the road below while the four, who had bailed out of the car, decide to go back home on their own. | ||
===Betrayal and death=== | |||

[[Cesar Vialpando]], the boyfriend of Sweet and Johnson's sister [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]], later [[Cell Phone|phones]] Johnson to come to an alleyway in [[Verdant Bluffs]]. While there the two witness Smoke and Ryder, along with [[C.R.A.S.H.]] officers [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]], with the green Sabre used in the killing of Johnson's mother. Johnson finally realises the true allegiances of Smoke and Ryder but is forced to go to [[Mulholland Intersection]] to save his brother from a Ballas ambush during a shoot-out. Sweet is shot and later arrested, being taken to a prison 'upstate' (as [[Interdiction|revealed]] by [[Mike Toreno]]) while Johnson is taken to [[Angel Pine]] in [[Whetstone]] by Tenpenny, Pulaski and [[Jimmy Hernandez]], the third member of C.R.A.S.H.. | |||
In the abscence of both Sweet and Johnson, Smoke and Ryder take control of the Grove Street Families and add them to their alliance. The Ballas take control of [[Ganton]] and other Grove Street Families turf in Los Santos. The Grove Street Families gangsters also begin to work for Smoke and Ryder by taking drug shipments from the [[Loco Syndicate]] drug manufacturing plant in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]] back to Los Santos. Cesar Vialpando, however, later discovers this and informs Johnson, who stops a number of the shipments from reaching Los Santos. Johnson later moves to [[San Fierro]] but returns to Angel Pine with Vialpando to [[Camera|photograph]] the three leaders of the Loco Syndicate, who were meeting Ryder at the towns Cluckin' Bell. | |||
After obtaining the photographs Johnson returns to San Fierro and has them developed. He meets with [[Wu Zi Mu]], a leading member of the [[San Fierro Triads|Triads]] in San Fierro and his assistant [[Guppy]], who identifies the three leaders as [[Jizzy B.]], a [[Jizzy's Pleasure Domes|nightclub owner]], [[T-Bone Mendez]], the leader of the [[San Fierro Rifa]], and the gangs [[Mike Toreno|leader]], although they are unaware that he is an undercover government agent. Johnson later [[Ice Cold Killa|kills]] Jizzy B. and later ambush a meeting between Mendez and Ryder, with help from the Triads. Johnson and Vialpando both kill Mendez but Ryder escapes, swimming to a nearby boat, although [[Pier 69 (mission)|Johnson follows him and kills him on route back to Los Santos]]. | |||
