Karl Johnny Black , known as “KJ”, is el Capitán of the Vagos 
==Notable Events==
===Early Days===
Karl Johnny “KJ” Black was a bounty hunter alongside his father, in Texas, when a mission went awry and led to him fleeing the country for his safety. After he arrived in Norway, KJ tried to establish his bounty hunter career but ultimately failed because the city had no need for it. The city in Norway only accommodated private investigators and he didn’t fit that role very well. When KJ realized that he couldn’t continue his bounty hunting career in Norway, he became a mechanic in the city’s car mechanic shop. While working there he made connections and met a group of men called “Mazda Boys” (coined to the group because they were all driving Mazda cars in a variety of colors) who he became friends with and promptly introduced him to a life of crime again. These people knew that he was a bounty hunter back in Texas and therefore wasn’t afraid doing things that were against the law. Eventually, the Mazda Boys got into high crime and bigger businesses that made them the most powerful crew in Norway. KJ was the brain behind the group’s crimes, making sure that the crew didn’t get caught doing their illegal dealings. He was also the one in charge of handling the drug operations for the crew as well as their gun businesses. Eventually, with Interpol on their tail, due to their high profile organized crime, the Mazda Boys found it very difficult to continue their business in the city. KJ flew back to the United States and eventually settled in Los Santos to lay low from Interpol.
===Barrio, Gangs, and The Vagos===
When KJ arrived in Los Santos, he settled in Jamestown, which is more notoriously called “The Barrio”. KJ did not leave his criminal life behind even after arriving in a new city. He met a group called “Black Betty” that made a huge impression on him and it led him to decide to work for them and climb up the ranks. He did all types of petty crimes for them- selling gold watches, first-class pistols, and robbing houses among others. This all happened while he was living in Jamestown. KJ always saw the different gangs in the south side including the Vagos, the Ballas and the Marabuntas. He was very sociable and was approached multiple times by the gangs that wanted to recruit him. He was also approached by the Aztecas as well as Dundee, leader of the BBMC (No Pixel 2.0), who wanted KJ to join their gang. KJ and Dundee had a big meeting at the docks with former BBMC members like Benji and Reggie, as he was looking to join the BBMC. This was also the same time when KJ lived opposite to the Vagos turf and did work for Arush Patel “Speedy” Santana, leader of the Vagos. KJ was approved to buy an apartment in the South end of the Barrio, which was the cheapest real estate in the city where he eventually came across Speedy, who asked for his help with selling bigger guns like AK-47s. When KJ asked Speedy what it takes to be a Vago, Speedy laughed at him saying that “he needs to do a lot of shit” before being asked to join. Speedy gave tasks to KJ, which he did quite efficiently. He was then invited by Speedy to join the Vagos, despite not being well-liked by the other gang members because he was a “pepega” and made lots of mistakes. At this time, he turned down Dundee and the BBMC to join the Vagos. This was how KJ was recruited into the Vagos, with Speedy being the only one who believed in KJ. 
===Vagos Life===
KJ rolled around the Southside with Arturo, Pablo and Mario. They taught him everything that he needed to know about the Barrio. He worked his way up to be a Soldado and was eventually promoted to the rank of a Capitano because of the way he viewed and handled the Vagos business. Although KJ was disliked by the people in the Vagos, he continuously improved and developed himself into a more empathetic and fair leader. He constantly improved his art of communication towards his peers in the familia, observing what works and what doesn’t. He was also extremely loyal to the Vagos, especially to Speedy, who took him in and believed in him and his abilities.
Towards the end of the city (2.0), most of the Vagos, including KJ, were sentenced to years in prison.
