FAQ

Like all GTA protagonists, CJ is an anti-hero. He's inherently a caring and loyal person. Loyal to his family and his friends. However, he is a criminal, a thief and a killer.

It's never specified how old he is but he's assumed to be in his early-mid 20's.

The main antagonist is Officer Frank Tenpenny. He is the one blackmailing CJ to do corrupt doings for him. He is the founder of the corrupt organization known as CRASH.

The secondary antagonist is Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris. He is a major player in the Grove Street Families but is later revealed to be working with Tenpenny and rival gang the Ballas.

The tertiary antagonist is Lance "Ryder" Wilson. Just like Big Smoke, he betrayed Grove Street to work with Tenpenny. He is also working with the Loco Syndicate to get crack into Los Santos.

The quaternary antagonist is Officer Eddie Pulaski. He is Tenpenny's right hand man and is also a founder of CRASH.

The game features an extensive storyline with 104 captivating missions.

No. CJ is completely drug-free. There is one mission where he gets a contact high from burning a marijuana plantation but that was unintentional. Although he does drink when he goes to the bars with his girlfriends Michelle and Denise.
