| ~ Catalina betraying Claude in the beginning of GTA III |
Catalina is the main antagonist of the 2001 video game Grand Theft Auto III and a supporting antagonist in its 2004 prequel San Andreas.
She is a criminal in Red County, and later the leader of the Colombian Cartel in Liberty City. She is also the cousin of Varrios Los Aztecas leader Cesar Vialpando and Claude's ex-girlfriend-turned arch-nemesis.
She was voiced by Cynthia Farrell.
What Makes Her Pure Evil?[]
Background[]
- Harbored a petty hatred for her abusive step-father for being refused to eat anything beside stale bread while her step-brother could get a lot more to eat than her, when she was young. Although it sounds tragic, the severity of her crimes completely outweighs it.
- Despite being Cesar Vialpando's cousin, her relationship with him is, at best, professionalism. Of course, it's very difficult to tell as to how they got along together due to her past background not explored deeply. Plus, Cesar is unaware of his cousin's depraved crimes and it's never shown on how he reacted to her true nature.
- She is more than happy to betray anyone and everyone for her own personal benefit, including even her own "boyfriends", as evidenced when she shot Claude and left him for dead during a bank heist.
- While she is treated in a more-or-less darkly humorous manner in GTA San Andreas, by GTA III she is completely devoid of comic moments and is treated as a very serious threat. Furthermore, her comedic moments in the former game aren't detracting, as they only emphasize how psychotic and cruel she is.
- Although the Heinous Standards of Grand Theft Auto is very high, Catalina still stand out due to her actions of selling drugs which caused people to go insane and forcing multiple junkies to become suicide bombers are still unique, paired with her personal villainy towards Claude.
- Additionally, she lives in the 3D Universe and thus doesn't have to compare with Trevor Phillips, Dimitri Rascalov and Avon Hertz in HD Universe and Hans Nemesis in the 2D Universe.
San Andreas[]
- Killed many of her boyfriends, evidenced by the gravestones near a pink slip in Red County.
- Fends off two men with a knife at The Welcome Pump in Dillimore shortly before their meeting with Carl Johnson.
- Escalates robberies where she murdered civilians and killed cops around Red County mainly for her own personal amusement. The onscreen robberies include:
- Threatening the employee and robbing the Gasso filling station in Dillimore by stealing a nearby tanker and its trailer.
- Killing the robbers and taking their money stolen from Top Hat Liquor store in Blueberry.
- Destroying the safe at Inside Track betting shop in Montgomery, stealing the money inside there, and killing some customers.
- Robbing the Palomino Creek Bank and killing some deputies.
- Threatens to kill CJ and later rapes him by putting him through an extreme form of BDSM.
- Although she claims to "love" CJ, there's nothing that indicates she truly loved him, especially considering that she threatened to kill CJ and later violently raped him in her cabin, and such "love" is more likely a sick obsession of her part.
- Furthermore, even if her feelings for CJ were truly genuine (albeit in her own twisted way), by GTA III she seems to have completely moved on with this and doesn't even mentions the time when she was CJ's girlfriend. With CJ's last phone call with her being her having sex with Claude to spite him.
GTA III[]
- She betrayed and shot Claude after a bank robbery for being, according to her, "small-time", leaving him for dead, which resulted in him getting arrested, despite how loyal he was to her.
- Made a deal with the Triads to distribute SPANK drugs on Portland Island.
- She turned her soldiers into suicide bombers through the SPANK drug.
- Distributed SPANK by using the Uptown Yardies to sell it.
- Shot Miguel in the back for being too much of a coward to defend against Claude, leaving him indirectly to get brutally tortured by Asuka Kasen.
- Distributed SPANK drugs disguised as coffee vendors all over Liberty City, causing those who consume it to lose their sanity.
- Killed Asuka Kasen and Miguel out of spite for revealing the Cartel's information to the Yakuza.
- Kidnapped Maria Latore as bait for Claude to give her the drug money and then dishonored the deal she made to Claude by ordering her henchman to kill him after she got the money.
Trivia[]
- Catalina is, alongside Nicole Horne, one of the two Pure Evils of Rockstar Games to be female.
- She is the first (and currently only) GTA Pure Evil to be female, and is also the first GTA Pure Evil in the 3D Universe.
