Sweet

Sean "Sweet" Johnson is the deuteragonist in GTA San Andreas.

Early life
Sweet was born to Beverly Johnson and an un-named father inside the Johnson House on Grove Street in Ganton, Los Santos. He is later present at the births of his three siblings, Carl, Kendl and Brian. Sweet, at an unknown period of time, becomes involved with the Grove Street Families and becomes the gangs leader. In 1987 his younger brother Brian died in an accident, which Sweet blamed on his other brother Carl, resulting in Carl leaving for Liberty City. Sweet then moved out into his own house next door to his childhood home. Sweet, in the missions Beat Down on B Dup and Sweet's Girl is shown to have a girlfriend, who he may or may not have known prior to 1992.

1992
In 1992 Sweet continued to lead the Grove Street Families, who's influence began to decline as their rivals began to manufacture and sell drugs. His childhood friend, Big Smoke, attempted to convince him to start selling drugs to help the Grove Street Families, although Sweet refuses. The Ballas, with whom Big Smoke and Ryder, another childhood friend, are now connected with, decide to kill Sweet and perform a drive-by shooting on the Johnson house. The gang, however, instead kill his mother, which results in Carl Johnson returning from Liberty City.

At the funeral Sweet and his sister Kendl are reunited with their brother Carl, although Sweet angers Kendl by insulting her boyfriend and berates Carl for missing their brothers and mothers funerals. Sweet, for a short time, continues to not trust Carl but later realises his true intentions of staying and helping the Grove Street Families, resulting in a more brotherly relationship.

Sweet then decides to have Carl work for the gang, including to put up gang tags across Los Santos' poorer districts, killing some Ballas drug dealers, killing some Ballas attempting a drive-by, meeting an old friend and killing Ballas gangsters in Jefferson. Sweet also has Carl meet Kendl's boyfriend Cesar Vialpando, leader of the rival Varrios Los Aztecas, with Carl reporting that he will be good to Kendl.

Sweet's leadership and the gangs continued decline begins to lead to factions within the Grove Street Families to break away. This is shown during Sweet's Girl, where Sweet phones his brother requesting help to escape from the Seville Boulevard Families, who have cornered him and his girlfriend in Playa del Seville. Carl manages to rescue them and later Sweet organizes a meeting for the various factions, including the Temple Drive Families, in the Jefferson Motel, however the meeting is interrupted by the police. The gang, however, continues to do well despite the fractions with Carl taking control of Glen Park and killing Kane, a high ranking member of the Ballas.

Sweet is later involved in a shootout with various Ballas gangsters, who attack in waves after arriving in vans under the Mulholland Intersection. He is shot during, but is not killed due to the assistance of Carl and three other Grove Street Families gangsters, although Carl does inform Sweet of the betrayal of Big Smoke and Ryder and their alliance with Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski of C.R.A.S.H.. The police again turn up and arrest both Sweet and Carl. Sweet is later taken to prison but Carl is taken to Whetstone by Tenpenny, Pulaski and Jimmy Hernandez and begins his life in the rest of the state of San Andreas.

Life while in prison
Carl continues to work his way up the criminal underworld in San Fierro and becomes aware of the Loco Syndicate, led by Jizzy B., T-Bone Mendez and Mike Toreno, who are selling drugs to members of the Los Santos Vagos, who are in alliance with Big Smoke, the Ballas and the Russian Mafia. Carl begins working for them, allowing his new Triad allies to find out more about their dealings. Carl later kills Jizzy, T-Bone Mendez and, or so he thought to be Mike Toreno, along with now enemy Ryder. He later receives a phone call from an unknown man who reveals himself to be Mike Toreno, who had sent another man as a decoy during Toreno's Last Flight. Carl begins to work for the government agent (much like Niko Bellic and United Liberty Paper) and his work is rewarded, as Toreno helps secure the release of Sweet, who is paroled during Home Coming.
