Grove Street Families
The Grove Street Families have been silenced over the past few years by drugs, internal disagreements
and their arch rivals, the Ballas. The Seville Boulevard Families (controlling only a small area in south-east Los Santos)
and the Temple Drive Families (located up north) have split from the Grove, so just because they're wearing green doesn't
mean they are necessarily allies. Whilst these events took place, Vagos and Ballas took over. Everyday, Grove Street gets
weaker, and the Balla's get stronger. Grove Street OG's include Sweet (Sean Johnson), Big Smoke (Melvin Harris), Ryder (Lance
Wilson) and Carl Johnson. The families must re-unite if they are ever to rise again. The Grove Street Families control areas
of Ganton and East Los Santos. |

The Ballas
The Ballas have a bitter rivalry with the Grove Street Families. The Ballas come in two sets. The Front
Yard Ballas are Los Santos' most nutorious drug dealers, and Grove Street's biggest rivals (currently trying to 'finish off'
Grove Street). They are backed up by the Rollin Height Ballas, who control only the tiny area of Glen Park, although they
are said to be expanding south, into Idlewood. The Ballas are battling with rivals (Vagos & the Grove Street Families)
to control East Los Santos. The Ballas have been around since the 1970's - Involved in drug dealing, gang banging, prostitution,
arms dealing, vandalism, degeneracy, but mainly, the cocaine trade. Mindless, uncontrollable, and thought to have ties with
Mexican (Drugs), and Russian (Weapons) Mobs. |

San Fierro Rifa
This hispanic street gang control areas of Garcia, San Fierro. They are believed to have become a major
hub in the international drugs trade - possible involvment in the cocaine trade. They have a dislike towards mexican gangs

Triads
A San Fierro based gang helped along by Wu Zi Mu, a blind gentlemen, and led by Ran Fa Li. The Triads
operate the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas, but their main place of work is Chinatown. There are two sets of Triads—the
Mountain Cloud Boys, operated by Woozie, and the Red Gecko Tong, led by Ran Fa Li. The Triads are currently having problems
with a vietnamese street gang known as Da Nang Boys. |

Da Nang Boys
The Da Nang Boys are a vietnamese street gang based in San Fierro, preparing a full move to the United
States. They control the dockland/bay area in Easter Basin - often causing disturbance. Currently at war with local Triad
gangs. Extremely violent, major interests in protection. |

The Mafia
3 Liberty City based mob families operate in Venturas, and each of them have a stake in Caligula's
Casino. The Sindacco Family want to do business with the Leone's, and this involves Salvatore pledging 5 million dollars to
the Sindaccos. Both gangs argue over who should run the casino, and so Ken Rosenberg (once working with the Forelli's down
in Vice) is put forward as a neutral party. Ken is in the middle of the 3 mob families, so if one attacks the other, Ken will
most likely be the target. The Sindaccos are represented by Johnny, and the Forelli's continue causing trouble for the Leone's.
The Triads have opened a new casino at the opposite end of The Strip, which will likely feature as competition for Caligula's. |
