History Characters / GrandTheftAutoSanAndreasAntagonists

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Other than Pulaski, no one likes Tenpenny as they see him as a menace to society. When the charges were dropped on him in "Riot", the whole city was in a chaotic state demanding that he should die, eventually his body is stripped and mutilated by the homeless after he dies from his injuries.

* AssholeVictim: Considering all the bullshit he pulled in the story there's no doubt that his death made the other characters and players feel relieved that he's gone.

** As of "End of the Line," he still can't resist this. Rather than simply [[spoiler:shoot CJ from behind, and unload Smoke's safe himself (which would've saved him a good chunk of escape time)]] -- Tenpenny [[spoiler:engages in one last bout of EvilGloating, and makes CJ unload the safe for him]]... which [[spoiler:enables CJ to distract him just enough to turn the tables]]. CJ even lampshades Tenpenny's screwup.

* HateSink: Every scene he's in seems to invoke hatred and aversion. In-universe, he's so hated that [[spoiler: his acquittal sparks a full-scale riot]].
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Depends on how seriously you take his claim that he uses smaller crimes and forging gang affiliations in order to ward off more heinous acts. However, his actions make him out to be a {{hypocrite}} more often than not and he's just corrupted to the core.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:His fellow cops abandon him in his hour of need -- mortally wounded right in the middle of the Grove Street cul-de-sac, with the people he abused through the years standing over him. What's more, his death was a traffic accident he caused himself - so there's nobody else to pin the blame on.]]

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: [[spoiler: His method is just as every bit as brutal as Tenpenny, ruthlessly killing fellow law enforcers and forcing his underlings through impossible missions. Where they differ is that Toreno will stop short of killing his underlings once they [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlive their usefulness]], unlike Tenpenny. He will also honor any deal made with them, as seen when he actually releases Sweet once CJ does everything he wants. As brutal as he is, he also seems to have stuck with his good intention of protecting America, unlike Tenpenny who is just wallowing in debauchery at the expense of others for the hell of it.]]

* {{Expy}}: He's basically [[Film/TrainingDay Alonzo Harris]] in anything but name.

* DirtyCoward: Rather then face Carl in fist or gunfight, he quickly high tails it out of the cemetery and tries to run for it, forcing Carl to chase him down.

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Taunts Carl about wanting to have sex with Kendl before the latter literally stomps his face.]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Other than Pulaski, no one likes Tenpenny as they see him as a menace to society. When the charges were dropped on him in "Riot", the whole city was in a chaotic state demanding that he should die, eventually his body is stripped and mutilated by the homeless when he died from his injuries.

* CrazyPrepared: He comes to Little Weasel's funeral wearing a body armor.

* ConspicuouslyPublicAssassination: He is assasinated by Carl during the funeral of Little Weasel.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Other than Pulaski, no one likes Tenpenny as they see him as a menace to society. When the charges were dropped on him in "Riot", the whole city was in a chaotic state demanding that he should die, eventually his body mutilated by the homeless when he died from his injuries.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Tenpenny corrupt activities makes it very hard for him to practice what he preaches.

[[caption-width-right:250:''"See I only got two eyes and in this world you got to have mo' than that. You gotta be like a fly on shit, you know? A hundred eyes everywhere!"'']]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CharlieMurphy

A higher-up in the Loco Syndicate, the crack cocaine cartel supplying C.R.A.S.H. and the Ballas, and owner of the Pleasure Domes, a strip club underneath the Gant Bridge at Battery Point, on the northernmost end of San Fierro, which also doubles both as the Syndicate's headquarters and center of Jizzy's prostitution ring. Carl targets him as an "in" for the Syndicate, hoping to infiltrate and destroy it so he can halt the spread of crack in San Andreas.

* AintTooProudToBeg: He literally gets on his knees and begs once he's confronted, and once he realizes that it won't work, he starts screaming for his guards.
* DirtyCoward: Once he's confronted, he looks just about ready to piss his pants, screaming for his guards and running away as fast as his legs can carry him.
* TheDragon: To Mike.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Calls in the second ''Lonely Hearts'' segment of [[Radio/GTARadio West Coast Talk Radio]], advertising the Pleasure Domes to prospective hookers, much to host Christy [=MacIntyre's=] disgust.
-->'''Christy:''' "Good grief! That's not the way ''Lonely Hearts'' works at all!"
* HeManWomanHater: He's pretty misogynistic, as shown in his last appearance.
* LackOfEmpathy: As far as he's concerned, he's the only person on the planet that matters.
* PimpDuds: Well, duh. A slightly more restrained example as he's lacking more extravagant features like a hat and fur, but he is wearing a gaudy purple suit and a gold dollar sign medallion. In his introduction, he's gloating to his hookers about all the mink clothing and accessories he has, even claiming to have mink carpets in his house.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Like Ryder, he thinks that he's much smarter than he actually is.
* SmugSnake: Very much so, being very cocky and arrogant and generally thinking he's much more important than he really is.

->'''Voiced by:''' Arturo "Kid Frost" Molina, Jr.

The Loco Syndicate's main enforcer and leader of the San Fierro Rifa, a Hispanic gang abundant in the southern half of San Fierro. He serves as the right-hand man to Mike Toreno, helping him deal with any threats to their business. Brutish and distrustful, he's forced to work with CJ once the latter has worked his way into the Syndicate, and serves as a major roadblock to Carl's efforts.

* AxCrazy: He is brutally sadistic and impulsive and gets extremely angry easily. In "The Introduction" video, he gives a brutal beating of another gang member, possibly to the point of killing, and at one point threatens to rape and kill CJ's family ''as a "joke."''
* BloodKnight: He ''really'' enjoys killing.
* TheBrute: The main muscle of the Loco Syndicate. Notably, he's one of the two antagonists (the other being Big Smoke) who actually stands his ground.
* CelebrityParadox: Kid Frost's ''"La Raza"'' can be heard on Radio Los Santos.
* DeadStarWalking: He's voiced by rapper Arturo "Kid Frost" Molina Jr., and as an antagonist, it comes as no surprise that he eventually winds up in the player's crosshairs.
* HairTriggerTemper: He has a tendency to go nuts at the drop of a hat, especially when it comes to potential rats in the Syndicate.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's very callous and has no problem with threatening violence against others for the slightest provocation.
* TheLeader: Of the Rifa.
* ManlyFacialHair: A cop mustache, [[GoodHairEvilHair ironically enough]]. In-game, that is; some pieces of promotional art (such as the one on the right) depict him as having a much larger and bushier mustache.
* ProperlyParanoid: He suspects Carl of being a rat from the start, and rightfully so.
* TheSociopath: He's an utter psycho who's willing to kill or torture anyone to keep his business afloat, [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor and his sense of humor reflects that.]]
* TheStoic: When he's not pissed off, he's rather calm and doesn't talk much.

The mysterious leader of the Loco Syndicate, a drug-running enterprise in San Fierro that supplies C.R.A.S.H. and the Ballas with crack. Few people have seen his face, fewer know his name, and fewer still know anything more than that. Carl targets him in an attempt to halt the flow of crack into Los Santos, destroying his business and shooting his helicopter out of the sky.

Few people have seen his face, fewer know his name, and fewer still know anything more than that. Carl targets him in an attempt to halt the flow of crack into Los Santos, destroying his business and shooting his helicopter out of the sky.

* SatelliteCharacter: Almost never appears on his own, and doesn't display much of his characterization till "High Noon." Outside of that, he mostly acts as Tenpenny's YesMan.

Shortly after Carl arrives in Los Santos, he has the former gangster arrested, framing him for the murder of Officer Ralph Pendelbury, an Internal Affairs officer that Tenpenny himself had just had silenced. Using this and his power as a cop as leverage, he antagonizes Carl throughout the game, following him all across the state and forcing him to do his dirty work.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Other than Pulaski, no one likes Tenpenny as they see him as a menace to society. When the charges were dropped on him in "Riot", the whole city was in a chaotic state demanding that he should die and had his body mutilated by the homeless when he died.

** In the Mission "High Noon," [[spoiler:he's finally ready to kill CJ and Hernandez]]. But instead of just [[spoiler:shooting them]] -- Tenpenny [[spoiler:knocks Hernandez out, makes CJ dig his own (and Hernandez's) grave, and leaves Pulaski behind to keep watch]]. Lo and behold -- [[spoiler:Hernandez wakes up, and makes a HeroicSacrifice that allows CJ to kill Pulaski and escape]].

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Depends on how seriously you take his claim that he uses smaller crimes and forging gang affiliations in order to ward off more heinous acts. However his actions make him out to be a {{hypocrite}} more often than not and he's just corrupt to the core.

* {{Leitmotif}}: In many scene where Tenpenny appears, he's accompanied by a menacing trap beat.

* ItsAllAboutMe: In ''The Introduction'', he scolds Pulaski for calling him "pal." During ''High Noon'' [[spoiler:Carl tries to warn Pulaski that Tenpenny may turn on him too]], and in the final mission, [[spoiler:as dies, he gives a final rant about how much better the city would be off if he was in charge]].

A new member of C.R.A.S.H. and a Mexican immigrant, who Tenpenny and Pulaski love pushing around like a slave. He joined C.R.A.S.H. to eradicate gang crime, however, he was forced by Tenpenny to silence Ralph Pendelbury, an Internal Affairs officer of the LSPD who uncovered Tenpenny and Pulaski's corruption within the department, he mostly serves as their henchman in the background handling every menial task that Tenpenny and Pulaski don't want to deal with themselves.

A new member of C.R.A.S.H. and a Mexican immigrant, who Tenpenny and Pulaski love pushing around like a slave. Brought in as a replacement for Ralph Pendlebury, a snitch that Tenpenny forced Hernandez to "deal with" as an initiation rite, he mostly serves as their henchman in the background handling every menial task that Tenpenny and Pulaski don't want to deal with themselves.

* CorruptTheCutie: Used to be a WideEyedIdealist with a strong sense of morality, until Tenpenny forced him to kill Pendlebury.
