Andreas Sanchez is a supporting character appearing in Grand Theft Auto V.
History[]
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Agent Sanchez is first seen at a meeting between Steve Haines, Michael De Santa, and Dave Norton outside the FIB building. The three agents task Michael, along with his accomplices Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philips, to perform a mid-air extraction of Ferdinand Kerimov from the IAA building, as both agencies believe he has ties to suspected Azerbaijani terrorist Tahir Javan and Haines wants the credit for taking him out. Later on, Sanchez is present when Haines and Norton coerce the trio into ransacking a Stockade filled with government bonds that, according to them, the IAA intend to use in order to fund gang related activities. Later on, Sanchez appears after Michael, Franklin, and Trevor successfully help secure funding for an FIB operation by robbing the Blaine County Savings Bank in Paleto Bay, giving each of them a cut of the money, telling them that Haines will let them know when the operation is ready, and driving away with the rest of the money.
Later on, after the events of The Bureau Raid, Agent Sanchez accompanies Agents Haines and Norton to the Kortz Center to discuss their current situation with Michael. Haines attempts to order Sanchez to arrest Michael and Agent Norton to prevent them from revealing Haines as the mastermind behind the attack on the FIB. After a group of IAA agents (headed by Agent ULP) come to arrest the group for "anti-American activity", then a rival group of corrupt FIB agents appear, and Sanchez suddenly reveals he was the one who sent them, outing himself to be a double agent working for them. An attack helicopter filled with Merryweather mercenaries appears soon after, creating a 4-way standoff and eventual gunfight. During the confrontation, a member of the FIB team shoots Haines in the leg, who then, in retaliation, shoots Sanchez in the head, killing him instantly.
Following the shootout, Dave tells Michael that the blame for the shootout at Kortz Center can mostly be pinned on Sanchez.

Trivia[]
- According to the Rush Casting Call, Andreas Sanchez's beta name was Miguel Gonzalez.
- There is unused data in the game that suggests Sanchez was a mobile phone contact for one or all of the protagonists.
- He also has an unused alternative outfit, being the standard FIB blue jacket with 'FIB' decals uniform.
- He has a lot in common with Jimmy Hernandez, a character from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Both are of Mexican descent, both work for the government (Sanchez is working for the FIB, while Hernandez is working for C.R.A.S.H.), both work as minor partners of a main antagonist (Sanchez is a partner of Steve Haines, while Hernandez is working with Frank Tenpenny), who blackmails the protagonist to work for them (Trevor, Michael and Franklin for Andreas, and CJ for Jimmy), and both betray their patrons in the end, only to be almost immediately killed by them for that (Sanchez in The Wrap Up, and Hernandez in High Noon).
