Zero is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
David Cross provided the voice and appearance of Zero.
Background
Zero was born in 1964 in the State of San Andreas. Zero is a nerdy electronics expert and hobbyist who owns Zero RC in San Fierro.
His business is in trouble and losing money, and this is due to his rival and arch-enemy Berkley, who owns a similar company. Zero and Berkley's rivalry began at a science fair, where Zero beat him, which led to Berkley swearing revenge on Zero.
Events of GTA: San Andreas
Meeting Carl
Zero is first introduced to Carl Johnson by The Truth; he sits outside of his RC Shop. He is introduced as an electronics expert, who could help Carl Johnson and his garage.
War against Berkley
Zero later phones Carl, to see if he can help with his business. Carl buys the shop, and then begins to help Zero.
Carl shooting down remote control aeroplanes, destroying delivery vans and killing delivery boys, and finally defeating Berkley in a miniature war game. Winning the war game finally forces Berkley to leave San Fierro, allowing both Zero and Carl to make money from the shop.
Bank heist
Zero later helps Carl and Cesar Vialpando steal cars for the Wang Cars business in Doherty, San Fierro. This includes putting a tracking device in a car, which Carl then follows and steals.
Zero then lends his expertise to Carl Johnson and Wu Zi Mu as they plan to pull of a heist at Caligula's Palace in Las Venturas. This includes creating devices to stop the power from Sherman Dam, stealing four HPV-1000 police motorcycles and stealing a Leviathan.
Zero also participates in the heist itself, instructing Carl Johnson, Wu Zi Mu and three others around Caligula's Palace. However, prior to the heist he told Berkley, putting the whole heist at risk. Carl punches him in the face at the Verdant Meadows airstrip, making Zero fall to the ground. What happened to Zero after these events is unknown, though it is most likely that he is still working for Carl.
Zero also makes an appearance on the second set of Lonely Hearts, saying he doesn't want to be a virgin all his life. The host Christy MacIntyre says she cannot help him and wouldn't even suggest him to a hooker.

Trivia
- In the mission "Wear Flowers In Your Hair" Zero will drop remote control charges if killed, so one can assume he's wielding the controller, though the idea is to make the player think that he/she is controlling the RC Goblin.
- In the mission Breaking the Bank at Caligula's, in the ending cutscene after CJ punches him, it looks like Zero is dead - however, this doesn't happen, since his missions can still be performed after this one and his appearance on Lonely Hearts is still heard, although it is possible he has been knocked out cold.
- Many fans consider Zero's missions to be one one of the worst missions in the GTA series, as his missions can be very challenging and frustraitng.
