— Cesar Vialpando

Cesar Vialpando is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as the tritagonist in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Cesar was voiced by Clifton Collins Jr., who broke into mainstream in 1997 as gang thug Cesar in the film One Eight Seven.

History

Little is known about Cesar's life prior to 1992, though at an unkown point in time he joined the Varrios Los Aztecas, a Hispanic street gang, eventually working his way up to become the gang's leader. Cesar also began a relationship with Kendl Johnson, to the disapproval of her brother Sean, the leader of the Grove Street Families. Cesar displays excellent driving skills, especially when driving lowriders. During Customs Fast Track, Cesar reveals that he is afraid of heights.

Events of GTA San Andreas

Cesar first meets Carl Johnson at a lowrider competition. Despite getting into an argument when they are introduced, Carl and Cesar eventually form a friendship and working relationship between the two gangs.

Like Carl, Cesar and Kendl was forced to leave Los Santos with Kendl after the brutal Ballas' ambush on the Grove Street Families, and his gang's influence in the city diminished sharply. While in exile, he gets Carl into some grief by introducing him to his cousin, Catalina. After arriving in San Fierro, he and Carl work together to get revenge on the people who double crossed them. Together, they were able to kill T-Bone Mendez. Later, Cesar puts his driving skills to good use by aiding Carl in obtaining several sports cars for their newly established car business.

The duo eventually return to Los Santos, and Cesar helps Carl and Sweet reclaim territories for the Grove Street Families. Carl repays Cesar's efforts by helping Cesar reclaim the Azteca's territories. During the same mission, Cesar informs Carl of his intention to propose to Kendl. Carl gives Cesar his blessing, but Cesar asks Carl to discuss it with Sweet because of the latter's earlier distrust of Cesar. Cesar appears in the final mission, where he witnesses Frank Tenpenny's death in the centre of Grove Street. He is later seen inside the Johnson House, and joins the celebrations when Madd Dogg announces his new gold record.

Vehicle

Cesar owns a red Savanna with a personal licence plate reading "LVA4L", which stands for "Los Varrios Aztecas for Life".

Murders committed

T-Bone Mendez - Killed by him and Carl in order to destroy the Loco Syndicate.

He never reveals the reason, although after [[The Green Sabre]] it makes sense, because he doesn't want to be recognized by the Vagos and Ballas who control [[Los Santos (3D Universe)|Los Santos]]. Instead, he uses an outfit similar to what [[Carl Johnson|CJ]] is wearing in the beginning of the game.
-* Several haircuts the player can get are named after Cesar. CJ initially has the "Cesar" haircut. Other available haircuts include other facial hair, such as a goatee or beard, appropriately named "Cesar & goatee" and "Cesar & beard". "Cesar" is actually the haircut Cesar has. The Cesar haircuts are also the cheapest, consisting of  simple, almost shaved hair.
-* In the [[Beta Releases|beta version]], Cesar originally uses a black bandana. Also, the color of his pants were black, instead of grey.
