The Vagos are first seen in the storyline during the mission Catalyst, which sees Carl and Ryder stealing weaponry and ammunition from a train, and having to kill a number of Vagos and Ballas gang members to get them. The Grove Street Families and the Vagos fight for control over both East Beach and Playa del Seville. They also become heavily involved and influential within the crack-cocaine drugs trade. They are one of the largest and most ruthless gangs in Los Santos upon CJ's return.

However, their main enemy is the Varrios Los Aztecas. However, they form an agreement to cease hostilities for the interest in the drugs trade (especially crack cocaine) in relation to Big Smoke's crack empire.ĭuring the events of the game, the Vagos are seen as a secondary threat to CJ and the Grove Street Families (after the Ballas). The Los Santos Vagos also had a strong rivalry with the San Fierro Rifa prior to 1992. Since northern East Los Santos was once part of Vagos territory before falling under Ballas control in 1992, there must have been either a gang war or an agreement between the Ballas and the Vagos at some point. Likewise, a Vagos gang house remains in the area - which is destroyed during the mission Burning Desire. During 1992, the area is actually controlled by the Ballas instead. This is due to CJ being away from Los Santos for five years and not been knowledgeable on the current situation of the gangs. This is evidenced by CJ's reaction to OG Loc directing CJ to northern East Los Santos to find and kill Freddy during the mission OG Loc.

Prior to 1992, they controlled northern East Los Santos. The Vagos also have a dislike of the Ballas again, it is unknown as to why. Their hostilities towards the Grove Street Families has increased over the years due to their weakening - which the Vagos see as an opportunity to possibly take over. History regarding their gang wars with the Grove Street Families and the Varrios Los Aztecas is also unknown - likely due to aggressive territorial expansion and crack-cocaine influence. They likely evolved from either East Beach, Los Flores, East Los Santos or Las Colinas. The formation of the Los Santos Vagos is shrouded in mystery. The Los Santos Vagos (also known as the LSV or just the Vagos) is a Los Santos-based Hispanic street gang in GTA San Andreas.
