Character history

Life

Pendelbury was born at an unknown location in the United States of America and at an unknown time joined the Los Santos Police Department. He was later transferred to the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums division of the police force, which was being led by the corrupt Frank Tenpenny and his favourite officer Edward "Eddie" Pulaski. The two had come to see their job more about 'percentages' and keeping each of the city's gangs equal. Pendelbury, however, could not be corrupted by Tenpenny and Pulaski, and later began to give information about their activities to internal affairs.

Pendelbury was later removed from C.R.A.S.H. while giving evidence, and was replaced by Jimmy Hernandez, who was working undercover to gather information to back up Pendelbury's allegations. Tenpenny and Pulaski, however, decided to 'initiate' Hernandez into their criminal activities by forcing him, at gunpoint, to kill Pendelbury after they located him in Ocean Docks and Pulaski had badly beaten him.

Legacy

The gun used to kill Pendelbury is later handed to protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson, who has just arrived home for the funeral of his mother Beverly Johnson whose death had the complacency of the corrupt duo, to implicate him, which results in Carl working for the three on various occasions. These include killing a Los Santos Vagos gangster and disrupting a meeting between the Ballas and Russian Mafia. Tenpenny and Pulaski also hire Carl to do various jobs to save their own skin such as killing a former colleague who was giving evidence to the FBI, planting evidence in the car of a district attorney causing his arrest by the San Fierro Police Department, killing a journalist and reporter investigating their activities and killing a DEA and FBI agent investigating their activities. The arrest of Carl's brother, Sean "Sweet" Johnson, was also used as leverage against him.

Pendelbury's testimony, alongside evidence and proof from the undercover Hernandez, was later used to arrest Tenpenny and try Pulaski in absentia (as he had already been killed by Carl after killing Hernandez) for racketeering, corruption, narcotics and sexual assault. The trial, however, is dropped because of a lack of evidence and riots begin across Los Santos' poorer neighbourhoods, although these later subside following Tenpenny's death.
