'''Sean "Sweet" Johnson''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] who appears as a principal deuteragonist in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. [[Gang Leaders|Leader]] of the [[Grove Street Families]] gang based in [[Ganton]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], he is the eldest son of [[Beverly Johnson]], whose other children are [[Carl Johnson|Carl]], [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] and [[Brian Johnson|Brian]]. Shown to have an unnamed girlfriend in two missions, he is voiced by [[Faizon Love]], who has also appeared in the television show ''The Parent 'Hood'' and more recently the film ''Couples Retreat''. | |||
==Character history== | |||
===Early life=== | |||
Sweet was born to [[Beverly Johnson]] and an unnamed father inside the [[Johnson House]] on [[Grove Street]] in [[Ganton]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. He is later present at the births of his three siblings, [[Carl Johnson|Carl]], [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] and [[Brian Johnson|Brian]]. At an unknown point of time, he became involved with the [[Grove Street Families]] and rose to the ranks of the gang leader. Brian died in an accident in 1987, which Sweet blamed on Carl, resulting in Carl leaving for [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. Sweet then moved out into his own [[Sweet's House|house]] next door to his childhood home. During two [[Beat Down on B Dup|separate]] [[Sweet's Girl|instances]], he is shown to have a girlfriend, who he may or may not have known prior to [[1992]]. | |||
{{spoilers}} | |||
Sweet | ===1992=== | ||
Sweet continued to lead the Grove Street Families, whose influence began to decline as their [[Ballas|rivals]] began to manufacture and sell drugs. His childhood friend, [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]], attempted to convince him to start selling drugs to help the Grove Street Families, although Sweet refuses. Having had enough of it, the Ballas, with whom Smoke and [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]], another childhood friend, are now connected, decide to kill Sweet and perform a drive-by shooting on the Johnson house. The gang, however, instead kills Beverly, which results in Carl returning from Liberty City. | |||
At the funeral, Sweet and Kendl are reunited with Carl, although Sweet angers Kendl by insulting her boyfriend [[Cesar Vialpando|Cesar "Ces" Vialpando]] and berates Carl for missing Brian's and Beverly's funerals. For a short time thereafter, he continues to share a platonic strain with Carl but later realises his true intentions of staying and helping the Grove Street Families, resulting in a more brotherly relationship. | |||
==GTA | Sweet then decides to have Carl work for the gang, including to [[Tagging Up Turf|put up gang tags]] across [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos']] poorer districts, [[Cleaning the Hood|killing some Ballas drug dealers]], [[Drive Thru|killing some Ballas attempting a drive-by]], [[Nines and AKs|meeting]] an [[Emmet|old friend]] and [[Drive-By|killing Ballas]] gangsters in [[Jefferson, Los Santos|Jefferson]]. Sweet also has Carl [[Cesar Vialpando (mission)|meet]] Cesar, leader of the rival [[Varrios Los Aztecas]], with Carl reporting that he will be good to Kendl. | ||
Sweet's leadership and the gang's continued decline begins to lead to factions within the Grove Street Families to break away, often resulting in [[Sweet's Girl|confrontations within the sets]]. Carl manages to bolster confidence and later Sweet organizes a [[Reuniting the Families|meeting]] for the various factions, including the Temple Drive Families, in the [[Jefferson Motel]], though the meeting is interrupted by the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|police]]. The gang, however, continues to do well despite the factions with Carl [[Doberman|taking control]] of [[Glen Park]] and [[Los Sepulcros|killing]] [[Kane]], a high ranking member of the Ballas. | |||
Sweet is later involved in a shootout with various [[Ballas]] gangsters, who attack in waves after arriving in vans under the [[Mulholland Intersection]]. He is shot during the gunfight, but [[The Green Sabre|survives from timely intervention on the part of Carl, who informs Sweet of Smoke's betrayal]] and his alliance with corrupt [[C.R.A.S.H.]] officers [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]], who are known to be in a full-swing alliance with the Ballas. After a lengthy shootout, the cops turn up and arrest both Sweet and Carl. Sweet is later taken to prison but Carl is taken to [[Whetstone]] by Tenpenny, Pulaski and rookie [[Jimmy Hernandez]] and begins his life in the rest of the [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|state of San Andreas]]. | |||
===Life during imprisonment=== | |||
[[File:Interdiction-GTASA.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[Mike Toreno]] telling [[Carl Johnson]] about Sweet's life in prison, during [[Interdiction]].]] | |||
Carl continues to work his way up the criminal underworld in [[San Fierro]] and becomes aware of the [[Loco Syndicate]], led by [[Jizzy B.]], [[T-Bone Mendez]] and [[Mike Toreno|Michael "Mike" Toreno]], who are selling drugs to members of the [[Los Santos Vagos]], who are in alliance with Smoke, the Ballas and the [[Russian Mafia]]. Carl begins working for them, allowing his newfound [[San Fierro Triads|Triad]] allies to find out more about their dealings. Carl later kills [[Ice Cold Killa|Jizzy]], [[Pier 69 (mission)|Mendez]] and, or so he thought to be [[Toreno's Last Flight|Toreno]], along with Ryder, who he realizes has been Smoke's right hand man in the drug business. He later receives a phone call from an unknown man who reveals himself to be Toreno, who had sent another man as a decoy during [[Toreno's Last Flight|the supposed interruption of his chopper]]. Carl begins to work for the government agent and his work is rewarded, as Toreno helps secure the release of Sweet, who is paroled [[Vertical Bird|after an extremely dangerous assault on property belonging to Naval authorities and spy agencies stationed in the area across the state makes headlines]]. | |||
===Release from prison=== | |||
[[File:HomeComing-GTASA2.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Sweet meeting [[Carl Johnson]] in [[Pershing Square]] after being released from prison, during [[Home Coming]].]] | |||
Carl tells Sweet of his and Kendl's new life in [[San Fierro]] and [[Las Venturas]], trying to convince him to move away from Los Santos. Sweet, however, insists on returning to [[Ganton]] and, upon their return, they re-take control of the area. Sweet then accompanies Carl as the two [[Beat Down on B Dup|re-take]] [[Glen Park]] and rescue [[Big Bear]] from the clutches of drug dealer [[B Dup]], with Sweet taking him to rehab. Carl is then instructed to [[Grove 4 Life|take control]] of [[Idlewood]], one of the districts neighboring Ganton. | |||
During this time, Tenpenny is arrested and put on trial. He is, however, found not guilty and released from prison, resulting in [[Riot (GTA SA)|riots]] across Los Santos' poorer districts. Sweet, who had joined Carl, Kendl, Cesar, aging countryside hippie [[The Truth]], British musician [[Maccer]] and formerly disgraced rapper and Carl's managerial client [[Madd Dogg]] at the rapper's [[Madd Dogg's Crib|mansion]], is then driven home by Carl. Sweet then begins to think about ending the war between the Grove Street Families and the Ballas, but allows Carl to help Cesar and the [[Varrios Los Aztecas]] [[Los Desperados|re-take]] the [[El Corona]] district, in order to repay his debt to Cesar, who too had been exiled just after Carl in the past. | |||
===Final showdown=== | |||
[[File:EndoftheLine-GTASA5.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sweet, [[Carl Johnson]], [[Cesar Vialpando]] and [[Kendl Johnson]] witnessing the last moments of [[Frank Tenpenny]] in [[Grove Street]], during [[End of the Line]].]] | |||
Shortly afterwards, the two brothers [[End of the Line|decide to take on the Ballas, stop their drug manufacturing business and kill Smoke for his betrayal]]. Sweet initially plans to join his brother, but Carl persuades him to wait it out while he takes care of it personally. Carl manages a magnificent break into the [[Big Smoke's Crack Palace|manufacturing plant]] and manages to kill not only Smoke, but the countless [[Ballas]], [[Los Santos Vagos]] and [[Russian Mafia]] gangsters attempting to gun him down on his way to the top. After killing Smoke, Carl, however, is interrupted by Tenpenny, who sets some of the machinery on fire. Luckily, Carl manages to escape the building in time to see Tenpenny escape in a [[Fire Truck|fire truck]]. | |||
Sweet, who has been watching outside the entire time, quickly notices Tenpenny's escape and grabs hold of one of the truck's ladders. Carl then drives after his brother in an open-top [[Feltzer]], which Sweet eventually drops into and the two give chase, fending off the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|police]] along the way. The two continue to chase Tenpenny until he crashes his fire truck, which goes over a bridge and falls into [[Grove Street]]. Sweet and Carl, along with Kendl, Cesar and The Truth, watch as Tenpenny dies after climbing out from the truck's cabin. The five then return to the Johnson House and are joined by disbarred former lawyer and Dogg's accountant [[Ken Rosenberg]], [[Maccer]] and record producer [[Kent Paul]] as they celebrate their success. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*In replay mode, Sweet, along with Smoke and [[Ryder]], appears as a pedestrian character model. | |||
*The license plate on Sweet's [[Greenwood]] is GROVE4L. | |||
*Sweet's Greenwood is destroyed during the mission [[Reuniting the Families]] after being driven through a [[Sprunk]] advertising board and falling on to a highway before exploding. Sweet later purchases another blue Greenwood telling Carl that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". | |||
*Sweet, despite being against the sale of hard drugs, almost uses cocaine in the mission [[Beat Down on B Dup]], although Carl intervenes. | |||
*Sweet's dislike for Carl, prior to his return to Los Santos, is seen during [[The Introduction]] where he states that Carl 'has his own life, more than he deserves' and that he "can rot in hell for all I give a fuck". | |||
*Sweet's favorite radio stations are [[Bounce FM]] and [[CSR 103.9]]. | |||
*During his imprisonment, Sweet was taken 'upstate' and placed in D-wing cell 13 according to [[Mike Toreno]] in the mission [[Interdiction]]. The prisoner in the cell to the left was a child killer who wanted to rip his throat out and on the right a white supremacist who wanted to eat his heart. | |||
