Carl "CJ" Johnson, was born in [[Los Santos]], [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], to mother [[Beverly Johnson]]. He would have been born before 1969 (assuming he was 18 or older in 1987, able to live on his own in another city). He is Beverly's second child, the first being [[Sean "Sweet" Johnson|Sean (aka Sweet)]], then Carl, followed very soon after by [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] and finally[[Brian Johnson| Brian]]. Sweet recalls that CJ was born in the [[Johnson House]], the family's childhood and current home. [[Old Reece]], a family friend, recalls memories of CJ's father (though Reece's sanity is in question), though CJ tells [[Joey Leone]] that he never knew his father, and Sweet was man of the house. Another one of CJ's memories is swimming off the coast of the [[Santa Maria Beach|Santa Maria]], having a condom get stuck to his face, and has since then been reasonably afraid to swim. The Johnson siblings, along with [[Big Smoke|Melvin (aka Big Smoke)]] and [[Ryder|Lance (aka Ryder)]], grew up on the same cul-de-sac and were childhood friends. CJ recalls Ryder dealing drugs since he was ten. | Carl "CJ" Johnson, was born in [[Los Santos]], [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], to mother [[Beverly Johnson]].

Carl leaves for San Fierro with Truth and Tenpenny's marijuana (despite Tenpenny [[Are You Going to San Fierro?|betraying]] The Truth). They meet Cesar and Kendl at the garage in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]]. CJ is angry and believes that the garage is completely useless. Kendl explains to CJ that the property is a great opportunity, and through Truth he [[Wear Flowers in Your Hair|hires]] [[Dwaine]], [[Jethro]] and [[Zero]] to work in the garage. CJ meets with [[Woozie]] in San Fierro and the two quickly become strong allies, collaborating to take down each other's enemies - CJ targeting the [[Loco Syndicate]] (Big Smoke's suppliers) and Woozie's rivals the [[Da Nang Boys]]. CJ infliltrates and eventually kills all the chief members - [[Jizzy B]], [[T-Bone Mendez]], [[Mike Toreno]] (as it would seem) and even [[Ryder]] from his old gang. | Carl leaves for San Fierro with Truth and Tenpenny's marijuana (despite Tenpenny [[Are You Going to San Fierro?|betraying]] The Truth).

The garage (now an illegal car shop), as well as renting out property, has now made CJ a millionaire. He receives an anonymous phone call to go to [[Toreno's Ranch|a mysterious ranch]]. It is eventually revealed to be an alive-and-well [[Mike Toreno|Toreno]], who is a government agent and is recruiting CJ's help in exchange for releasing [[Sweet Johnson|Sweet]] from a supposedly permanent life sentence. Although it is a well-kept secret from all his friends, Truth finds CJ at Toreno's [[Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard|place of operation]] and tells CJ that Toreno can't be trusted.

Woozie invites CJ to the Triad's extremely glamorous [[The Four Dragons Casino|Four Dragons Casino]] in Las Venturas. Upon arrival, CJ is given shares in the casino by Woozie, "in exchange for some help setting it up". They are faced with aggressive competition from Mafia-run [[Caligula's Palace]] and as revenge, spend weeks and weeks planning [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's|an extremely elaborate heist]] of Caligula's. This dually involves CJ infiltrating Caligula's inner circle of management (bychance of Truth's association with music industry men [[Kent Paul]] and [[Maccer]]) to work with manager [[Ken Rosenberg|Ken "Rosie" Rosenberg]] and even don [[Salvatore Leone]] (CJ helps Rosie, Paul and Maccer fake their deaths to escape Salvatore's rage). During this time period, [[C.R.A.S.H.]] extracts the last of CJ's labor before they try to kill CJ (and their own [[Jimmy Hernandez|Hernandez]] for snitching on him), CJ killing [[Eddie Pulaski|Pulaski]] and escaping alive. CJ also, by chance, sees [[Madd Dogg]] [[Madd Dogg (mission)|attempting suicide]] and saves his life, partially out of guilt for ruining his career. | Woozie invites CJ to the Triad's extremely glamorous [[The Four Dragons Casino|Four Dragons Casino]] in Las Venturas.

An [[Easter Egg]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] suggests that CJ possibly died after [[1992]]. However a reference of his death is never directly made. Either way, this is not considered canon for the [[GTA III Era]]. | An [[Easter Egg]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] suggests that CJ possibly died after [[1992]].
