Character history
Life until 1992
The Truth, at an unknown time, became both a hippie (possibly due to his upbrining) and a drug manufacturer, purchasing The Mothership as a means of moving the drugs. By 1989 he had become an aging hippie, meeting Dwaine and Jethro in San Fierro. It is also likely that at this time he had become involved in the various conspiracies against the American government. He had, some time prior to 1992, made the acquintance of both electronics expert Zero and corrupt police officer Frank Tenpenny, who began to use some of the drugs grown on The Truth's farm in Leafy Hollow.
1992
In 1992 when meeting Tenpenny he is introduced to Carl Johnson, who Tenpenny states will repay his debts for him. The Truth then has him steal a combine harvester from a rival farm and later, after the police discover his cannabis crops, employs Carl to burn the crops with a flamethrower. He accompanies Carl to San Fierro, asking Carl to drive claiming that he had not driven in fifteen years, travelling instead on his astral-goat Herbie.
In San Fierro he introduces him to Dwaine, Jethro and Zero to help him re-build his garage in Doherty, although he instructs Carl to go to the police headquarters and the hospital in San Fierro, watching a van both locations.
Life in the desert
The Truth then disappears from Carl's life but resurfaces shortly after he purchases the abandoned Verdant Meadows Airstrip. The Truth, wary of the government's nearby secret base and Carl's involvement with undercover agent Mike Toreno scares Carl with his appearance and asks him to sneak into the base and steal the "Black Project". Carl manages to infiltrate the base and steal the "Black Project", a jetpack which cost $60 million to create. Carl then meets up with Truth on the top of Arco del Oeste, handing over the jetpack before being abandoned by Truth, eager to test out the jetpack.
Truth, unable to use the jetpack, hands it back to Carl and asks him to steal something, although even he does not know what. Carl, using the jetpack, does manage to steal the item, a green goo, and takes it back to Truth, who states that "Everything is different now" and that people will "call this (1992) 'Year Zero'". The Truth also phones in to Area 53 on West Coast Talk Radio stating that he has held alien life "in my own hands", which may be a reference to the green goo.
Time in Los Santos
Carl later receives a phone call from Truth, who is in Los Santos and unsure of how he got there, after a night on a "peyote safari" with a band and its manager. He asks Carl to find them and make sure they're safe, which later provides Carl a way into working at Caligula's Palace, where he later commits a heist with the help of the San Fierro Triads.
The Truth later joins Carl, his brother Sweet, Carl's sister Kendl and her boyfriend Cesar Vialpando, rapper Madd Dogg and singer Maccer at Madd Dogg's mansion to watch the trial of his former associate, Frank Tenpenny, later witnessing his acquital and the start of the riots in the city. He is later seen at the Johnson House, wtnessing the death of Tenpenny after he had driven a firetruck off a bridge and into Grove Street.
