The Snakehead is a character in the 3D Universe who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. He is the leader of the Da Nang Boys gang in San Fierro. He does speak in his only appearance although his voice actor is not credited.
Character history
The Snakehead was born in Vietnam and, at unknown times, joined and became the leader of the Da Nang Boys. In the early 1990s he began moving the gang into the United States and in 1992 in San Fierro, although he himself remained out of the city. The gang quickly established themselves with ruthless brutality, as evidenced when they destroyed the Blood Feather sect of the San Fierro based Triads. One of the Triad leaders, Wu Zi "Woozie" Mu, later sends his associate and protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson to infiltrate a recently arrived freighter in the harbour, which they believed was full of contraband but was in fact used for human smuggling. Carl frees the prisoners and, after killing numerous Da Nang Boys gangsters, locates The Snakehead. The Snakehead, armed with a sword, throws Carl a sword and the two begin to fight each other, with Carl killing him.
