* KryptoniteFactor: He had all his senses trained to their peak condition to make up for his blindness. However, he admits they would be completely useless while swimming in "Amphibious Assault".



* ComplexityAddiction: ''Oh yes''. He has CJ use a toy plane to assassinate some couriers when he might as well have done it personally, like what he has been doing for the entire game. Zero could also very well ask for CJ to get rid of Berkley permanently, but doesn't do so because he insists on proving his superior intellect to him.

* PrisonRape: What's implied to have happened to him, though he denies it vehemently.

to:

* PrisonsAreGymnasiums: Why he's shirtless (except when wearing his Burger Shot uniform) as described below. CJ comments on it early on.
-->'''CJ:''' Look at you, all muscley and shit.\\
'''OG Loc:''' Man, I got 17s on the hang!\\
'''CJ:''' You coulda did that out here.\\
'''OG Loc:''' Because I did it in the joint, it's ''real'' now.\\
'''CJ:''' [humoring him] Yeah, I guess it is, ''gangsta.''
* PrisonRape: What's implied Possibly. When the GSF go to pick him up upon his release, Sweet is sure that he's been somebody's bitch during his time inside. And Loc ''does'' ask to go visit a guy named Freddy who "stole his rhymes" while he was in prison, for payback. The thing is, when he and CJ knock on the Freddy's door, the guy's reaction is not what you'd expect from a rapist; instead of being dismissive of somebody he doesn't perceive as a threat, or realizing that his life ''is'' in danger and trying to apologize for what he did to Loc, he seems to be under the impression that Loc is there to have happened to sex with him, though going on to say (in a CampGay voice) that what they had was "just a prison thing" and that he denies isn't interested in Loc any more now that he's back on the outside with women. On the other hand, right before fleeing on a motorcycle he says "you dropped the soap, sugar". There's a link to a video of the mission and the entire verbal exchange on the main page under the Prison Rape trope, so you can watch that and make of it vehemently. what you will.

->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan "Jas" Anderson

An amateur rapper and an associate of the Families. One of the youngest members of the GSF, Loc was always seen as something of a little brother to the homies, something that he resents deeply. As such, he constantly tries to impress them, doing anything to earn respect - up to and including ''intentionally racking up traffic violations to gain a prison sentence.''

After being released from prison early in the game, he gets a parole job as "hygiene technician" (read: janitor) at the Burger Shot branch in Marina, western Los Santos.

The blind, yet unnaturally lucky leader of the Mountain Cloud Boys, a Triad sect based in Chinatown, San Fierro. Carl meets him while attending an illegal race in Red County with Caesar, where the two quickly strike up an OddFriendship. Once he arrives in San Fierro, Carl contacts him for work, which he happily provides, along with financial support from his gang.

%%* BenevolentBoss

* DeadpanSnarker: Has moments of this like when Carl asks if he knows he's black. "I'm blind, Carl, not stupid."
* HandicappedBadass: Yes, he's blind. That doesn't stop him from handling a gun and ''driving a car in a street race'' to good effect. Though he walks into walls if unassisted on the street. His men attribute this to being BornLucky.

* HidingTheHandicap: He doesn't reveal his blindness to CJ until CJ has done several missions on his behalf and earned his trust... not that it wasn't obvious beforehand.
* TheLeader: Of the San Fierro Triads.
* NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters: Refuses to deal dope and seems to be somewhat less violent than other crime bosses, at least until the enemy strikes first.
* NiceGuy: Easily one of the most friendly and pleasant people that Carl meets in the game, and the two strike up a friendship almost instantly. That said, [[BewareTheNiceOnes he can be pretty damn ruthless to his enemies.]]
* NobleDemon: On any other day, when not fighting rival gangs, he's quite an affable guy.
* OddFriendship: He's a blind Chinese race-car driver, Carl is a black gangbanger. Quite a few people comment on the curiosity of it.
* SpoiledSweet: There's indications he's been treated this way his entire life, up to and including the Triads indulging his street-racing habit. Despite this, he's remarkably nice.

* GeekPhysiques: Skinny.
* HollywoodNerd: He's a skinny, bespectacled RC enthusiast with a love of pop-culture who's extremely skilled with computers. What else would he be?
* {{Hypocrite}}: He considers himself an ActualPacifist, to the extent that he won't even take up arms against radio-controlled planes. He does not, however, have any moral qualms about encouraging CJ to commit several murders on his behalf.

* SeriousBusiness: RC vehicles. So serious that he has people killed over it.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Subverted. His relationship with Berkley is exactly like this... except that they use ''bombs and bullets'' to lash out at eachother.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: In a moment of pride, he brags to Berkley about the Caligula's Palace heist, which almost blows it for everyone.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' [[Music/IceT Tracy "Ice T" Marrow]]

One of the most successful rappers of the West Coast rap scene, at least for a while, Madd Dogg's career was already waning when OG Loc forced CJ to ruin his career. Humiliated, penniless, and a national laughingstock, he fled Los Santos and turned to drinking, eventually trying to throw himself off of the roof a hotel in Las Venturas. By chance, CJ happened to be there, and saved his life out of remorse.

Feeling guilty about his role in Madd Dogg's downfall (something which Dogg himself was unaware of), CJ decided to help him get back on his feet, becoming his new manager with help from Ken Rosenburg and Kent Paul. Returned to greatness once more, Madd Dogg's success is what finally marks the Johnson family's rise to fame and fortune.
