'''The Truth''' is an aging hippie who lives in [[San Fierro]] and | '''The Truth''' is a character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series who appears as a main character in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. He is an aging hippie and former drug manufacturer who lives in [[San Fierro]]. He is voiced by [[Peter Fonda]]. | ||
==Character history== | |||
===Life until 1992=== | |||
The Truth, at an unknown time, became both a hippie (possibly due to his upbrining) and a drug manufacturer, purchasing [[Camper#The Mothership|The Mothership]] as a means of moving the drugs. By [[1989]] he had become an aging hippie, meeting [[Dwaine]] and [[Jethro]] in [[San Fierro]]. It is also likely that at this time he had become involved in the various conspiracies against the [[United States of America|American]] government. He had, some time prior to [[1992]], made the acquintance of both electronics expert [[Zero]] and corrupt [[Los Santos Police Department|police]] officer [[Frank Tenpenny]], who began to use some of the drugs grown on The Truth's farm in [[Leafy Hollow]]. | |||
===1992=== | |||
In 1992 when meeting Tenpenny he is introduced to [[Carl Johnson]], who Tenpenny states will repay his debts for him. The Truth then [[Body Harvest|has him steal]] a [[Combine Harvester|combine harvester]] from a rival [[The Farm|farm]] and later, after the [[San Andreas Police Department|police]] discover his cannabis crops, employs Carl to [[Are You Going to San Fierro?|burn the crops]] with a [[Flamethrower|flamethrower]]. He accompanies Carl to [[San Fierro]], asking Carl to drive claiming that he had not driven in fifteen years, travelling instead on his astral-goat [[Herbie]]. | |||
In San Fierro he [[Wear Flowers in Your Hair|introduces]] him to Dwaine, Jethro and Zero to help him re-build his [[Doherty Garage|garage]] in [[Doherty]], although he instructs Carl to go to the [[San Fierro Police Headquarters|police headquarters]] and the [[San Fierro Medical Center|hospital]] in San Fierro, watching a van both locations. | |||
===Life in the desert=== | |||

The Truth then disappears from Carl's life but resurfaces shortly after he [[Verdant Meadows (mission)|purchases]] the abandoned [[Verdant Meadows|Verdant Meadows Airstrip]]. The Truth, wary of the government's nearby [[Restricted Area|secret base]] and Carl's involvement with undercover agent [[Mike Toreno]] scares Carl with his appearance and asks him to sneak into the base and steal the "Black Project". Carl manages to [[Black Project|infiltrate the base and steal]] the "Black Project", a [[Jetpack|jetpack]] which cost [[Money|$]]60 million to create. Carl then meets up with Truth on the top of [[Arco del Oeste]], handing over the jetpack before being abandoned by Truth, eager to test out the jetpack. | |||
Truth, unable to use the jetpack, hands it back to Carl and asks him to steal something, although even he does not know what. Carl, using the jetpack, [[Green Goo|does manage to steal the item]], a green goo, and takes it back to Truth, who states that "Everything is different now" and that people will "call this (1992) 'Year Zero'". The Truth also phones in to [[Area 53]] on [[West Coast Talk Radio]] stating that he has held alien life "in my own hands", which may be a reference to the green goo. | |||
===Time in Los Santos=== | |||
[[File:Riot-GTASA.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The Truth, with [[Maccer]], [[Carl Johnson]], [[Madd Dogg]], [[Kendl Johnson]], [[Cesar Vialpando]] and [[Sweet]] during the mission [[Riot (GTA SA)|Riot]].]] | |||
Carl later receives a [[Cell Phone|phone]] call from Truth, who is in [[Los Santos]] and unsure of how he got there, after a night on a "peyote safari" with a [[The Gurning Chimps|band]] and its [[Kent Paul|manager]]. He asks Carl to find them and make sure they're safe, which later provides Carl a way into working at [[Caligula's Palace]], where he later commits a [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's|heist]] with the help of the [[San Fierro Triads]]. | |||
The Truth later joins Carl, his brother [[Sweet]], Carl's sister [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] and her boyfriend [[Cesar Vialpando]], rapper [[Madd Dogg]] and singer [[Maccer]] at Madd Dogg's [[Madd Dogg's Mansion|mansion]] to watch the trial of his former associate, Frank Tenpenny, later witnessing his acquital and the start of the [[Los Santos Riots|riots]] in the city. He is later seen at the [[Johnson House]], wtnessing the death of Tenpenny after he had driven a [[Firetruck|firetruck]] off a bridge and into [[Grove Street]]. He joins the Johnson brothers, Kendl and Cesar talking about their future, meeting Madd Dogg, Maccer, [[Kent Paul]] and [[Ken Rosenberg]] who arrive to celebrate Madd Dogg's first gold record since his return. | |||
