10. The Truth
Despite a relatively limited appearance in-game (The Truth first appears when CJ is exiled to the Badlands, again later for some infamous Jetpack shenanigans and once more at endgame to congratulate CJ on his victory against ‘the man’), he’s, for me at least, one of the most memorable characters in the franchise. Which is ironic, considering the copiously marijuana themed missions he gets CJ involved in.
GTA’s characters are perhaps famed for their tendency to cross and double cross but The Truth is one of the few whose relationship with the protagonist is almost entirely amicable. I still look back fondly on this guy as one of the few I didn’t have to eventually put a bullet in. Plus, like I said, through him you get access to a f***ing Jetpack. I mean, what’s not to love?

I haven’t really played a whole lot of GTA. I’ve become the King of San Andreas over and over; and why play another GTA game that isn’t as great as GTA San Andreas? I still have to see the reviews for GTA V when it comes out this coming Spring, but I’m not going to look at the first GTA or anything else to GTA IV. So here is my list of the best of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that are not the protagonists.
1. Officer Frank Tenpenney
2. Sean “Sweet” Johnson
3. Cesar Vialpando
4. Wu Zi Mu
5. Catalina
6. The Truth
7. Kendl Johnson
8. Mike Toreno
9. Jizzy B.
10. Zero
Also, the police officers voices in the free roam parts. (In the helicopter, walking around, in the police station…)
Salvatore Leone
I think Ricardo Diaz from Vice City is one of the best characters I’ve seen from a GTA game. Just always remember when he shoots the VCR player for not working then realises it wasn’t plugged in xD Glad Catalina is high on your list. I was genuinely scared of her in SA…
Ken Rosenburg!
Rosenberg…. Rosenberg…. OH THAT BOGUS AMBULANCE CHASER!
Kent Paul.
I agree with most of the list but where is Ken Rosenburg! His crazy coke induced antics went from San Andreas to Vice City!
Ah, its nice to see someone else who loved the friend system in GTA IV and how it was used to further define the characters.
My top ten in no real order
1. Lazlow Jones
2. Salvatore Leone
3. Cesar Vialpando
4. “Gay” Tony Prince
5. Billy Grey
6. Little Jacob
7. Fernando Martinez
8. Chan Jaoming
9. Congressman Thomas Stubbs
10. The Agent from “United Liberty Paper”
