Q: What characters are confirmed so far? As of right now, there are a good number of characters that have been confirmed for San Andreas. We've listed them below. Carl "CJ" Johnson The game's main character, CJ is a gangster with a vengeance. His mom and younger brother were both killed thanks to gangland violence and he ended up in Liberty City for five years before coming back to Los Santos to find out who killed his moms. He's obviously destined to become an important figure in the Orange Grove Families (OGF). Sweet Johnson A key leader of the Orange Grove Families and CJ's older brother, Sweet Johnson blamed Carl for the death of their youngest brother five years ago. Though he's pissed at CJ for his own personal reasons, he still obviously has plenty of loyalty too -- as he's one of Carl's main supporters when he returns to the OGF. Brian Johnson CJ's ten-year old brother who was killed in a tragic accident five years ago. Poor kid. Kendl Johnson Another one of CJ's siblings, Kendl is Carl and Sweet's sister who has been at odds with the elder brother for quite some time. Ryder An old friend of CJs from back in the day, Ryder has a temper shorter than Tony Montana and a mean streak like few have ever seen. Smoke The most physically imposing member of the Orange Grove Families, Smoke is a key figure in the reunification of the gang and has been a friend to the Johnson family for years. Frank Tenpenny & Eddie Polaski A pair of dirty cops that knew CJ from his stay in Juvenile Hall, these two start trouble for Carl the moment he sets foot in Los Santos. Old Reece Carl's barber from when he was a kid, Old Reece is where players can go to get their haircuts. Cesar A mystery character whose purpose is remaining a mystery, Cesar looks like a total hardcore killer; complete with tattoos and his very own .45. The Flats and The Ballas These two gangs are the main rivals for the Orange Grove Families and have since taken over the streets since CJ left five years ago.
