Once believed to have betrayed the Grove and sided with the Ballas, in truth, he was actually a mole working for CJ, the two of them having faked Ryder's death to throw Tenpenny off his tail; he resurfaced shortly after Tenpenny's death (Cesar's remark about Ryder trying to rape Kendl was an attempt to make CJ feel better after the latter was supposedly mortified, while the "killing" was staged by having CJ's gun shoot blanks instead of real bullets and some fake blood on Ryder's clothes).

He is the son of the deceased Frank Tenpenny, and is even worse than his father ever was, to the point of killing innocent people on the streets for kicks and teaming up with the Ballas, Vagos, and Rifa to make and distribute SPANK all around the country. He is the secondary antagonist of the game, answering directly to President Donald Love.

He is killed by Franklin in the mission "OG Joke" as revenge for abandoning the Grove Street Families in 1992.

Blaine County

Obbesen

 * Leanne Wynn (Jennifer Morrison) is a 22-year-old criminal who works for the Petersen City Yakuza. She is an internet scammer who provides funding for the Yakuza.

Capital City

 * Donald Love (Alec Baldwin) is the 56-year-old cannibalistic and corrupt President of the United States, who was a Liberty City media mogul and mayoral candidate years before, and is the overall main antagonist of the game. He hires Chris to do work for him, such as killing his political opponents (both liberal and conservative) to ensure he wins his re-election campaign, defrauding and destroying liberal and/or left-leaning charities, slandering his remaining opponents by saying things like "He has six wives!" and "She kidnaps innocent people's dogs and eats them!", among other statements, blowing up a Mexican-American town in Matar to create a new Grand Penetrator, etc., threatening to frame him as a child rapist if he doesn't. It is heavily implied that Love is a pedophile who molests immigrant children personally. In the epilogue "Love Hurts", Love reveals that he was planning to turn the US into a fascist dictatorship known as the "First American Empire", with the ultimate goal to take over the world, kill everyone who isn't a straight, white, non-transgender Christian and sell their remains as food, send women back to the kitchen, and enslave the working class while he, his administration, and other wealthy "fat cats" prepare to take to the stars and do the same to alien races, treating non-rich citizens as objects rather than people, and also reveals that he orchestrated C.R.A.S.H.'s resurrection, hoping to use it to serve his purpose, and, along with Vladimir, ordered Walt's wife killed under the pretense that she was killed by a gang member; Jillian leaves him upon this revelation, taking Tiffany and Crispin with her. He and his entire remaining administration are killed by Josh and Elise in a violent shootout. Moreso than in previous games, Love is a very unflattering caricature of Donald Trump in terms of personality (though he still retained his III-era appearance, albeit much older), right down to being portrayed by Alec Baldwin (who plays Trump on Saturday Night Live, though Baldwin uses his normal voice) which sparked massive backlash from conservatives.
 * Jillian Love (Maisie Williams) is the 31-year-old First Lady. It's implied throughout the storyline that her husband abuses her and forces her to go along with his agenda under threat of rape, which is confirmed in "Love Hurts". She is based on Melania Trump.
 * Crispin Love (Julian Edwards) is Donald and Jillian's eleven-year-old son who has a tendency to wear suits every day, and is very soft-spoken (to the point of having only one line, being "Come on, let's go. Leave this schmuck of a father to his fantasies" after Jillian leaves Donald). He is based on Barron Trump.
 * Tiffany Love (Genevieve Hannelius) is Crispin's bratty, 17-year-old step-sister and an aspiring model. She is based on Tiffany Trump.
 * Charles "Chuck" Dollar (Michael Douglas) is the 59-year-old Vice President, and is also a conservative. He is utterly disgusted with Love, but stays with him because he has Stockholm syndrome. He ends up betraying Love in the epilogue by taking the last shot, and becomes the new president after Love is killed, promising to actually make America great for everyone, and not just rich whites. He is based on Mike Pence.
 * Donner Gill (John Goodman) is Love's 69-year-old lawyer and the former Mayor of Liberty City. He is based on Rudy Giuliani.

Alderney

 * Jonathan "Johnny" Klebitz (Scott Hill) is the 45-year-old founder of the New Lost MC and President of its Alderney chapter.

Johnny seeks to find and kill Trevor for destroying the old Lost. He is playable in a few missions.

This game lists Frank Vincent (who died in 2017) as one of the many dedications.
