Big Smoke: Difference between revisions

Big Smoke was born in [[Los Santos]], likely in [[Ganton]] due to his close relationship with [[Sweet]] and [[Carl Johnson]], and he later became a member of the [[Grove Street Families]]. He rose through the ranks of the gang until becoming the right hand man of Sweet, being helped by the departure of Carl in [[1987]] after his [[Brian Johnson|brothers]] death. Smoke also, at one point, lived in Ganton, which may have been from birth, but moved to [[Idlewood]] some time prior to [[1992]], purchasing a [[Big Smoke's House|house]] with his 'aunts money' from a will. The Grove Street Families, however, begin to lose influence and status amongst the city gangs, noticing that the [[Ballas]], who control Idlewood, are selling drugs to fuel their riseing influence. He then starts trying to persuade Sweet to allow the Grove Street Families to sell drugs, although this fails. At some point Big Smoke forms an alliance with the Ballas and begins to secretly work for them. Smoke later includes the [[Los Santos Vagos]] and the [[Russian Mafia]], who were hoping to get a foothold in [[Los Santos]], into his new alliance. They also form an alliance with the [[Loco Syndicate]] who supply them with various drugs from their base in [[San Fierro]], although he doesn't realise that an [[Mike Toreno|undercover government agent]] is involved in the operation.
