## Biography

### *Saints Row*

*So you're Julius' new boy huh? You don't look like much. Then again, I don't look like I have an eight inch cock, so I guess we're both full of surprises.*— Johnny Gat to Playa
Johnny Gat is an inhabitant of the Saint's Row District of Stilwater. Realizing that the district was being torn apart by gang wars, he joined the 3rd Street Saints, a gang aiming to end these wars. Gat is assigned to plot the downfall of the Vice Kings, one of the warring gangs in Stilwater.

Gat's 'head on' strategies typically involve massive amounts of bloodshed and extensive property damage. After introducing Playa to Gat's girlfriend Aisha, the three plot out a way to strike at the Vice Kings. They load up a car full of C4 then take it to the gang's recording studio, where the explosion levels it to the ground. Despite all this, Gat admitted to having an admiration for Benjamin King, the Vice King's leader[*when?*]. Despite having been almost crippled after being shot in the leg by Anthony Green, Johnny manages to move on with Playa when they successfully destroy the Vice Kings. During the Battlefield Promotion cutscene Johnny gives Aisha a bouquet of flowers, reconciling their relationship which had become strained during the takedown of the Vice Kings.

Following the destruction of all three gangs and the assassination of Marshall Winslow, Johnny Gat takes part in an assassination attempt against Chief Monroe of the Stilwater Police Department, which results in the police chief's death. Afterwards, Johnny begins to spend more time with Aisha.

### *Saints Row 2*

**Johnny Gat**: "*Shit, 'bout time your burnt ass woke up...*"
**Playa**: "*You ok Johnny?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Yeah, aside from almost getting sent to the chair I'm fuckin' great...hey you look different, you do somethin' with your hair?*"
 — Johnny Gat, upon first meeting Playa in *Saints Row 2* during "Appointed Defender".
When Playa falls into a coma, Gat attempts to kill Troy Bradshaw for betraying the Saints. This attempt fails however, resulting in his incarceration for 2 years and 31 days. He was sentenced to execution for 387 counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. At the beginning of the game, Playa bursts into his appeal proceedings, kills the guards, and rescues Gat. Gat takes his place as Playa's second-in-command as they resurrect the Saints, locating a new Saints Hideout before canonizing new members into the gang.

Once the Saints' are resurrected, Gat helps to take down the Ronin, one of several new gangs that took over during their absence. He takes part in the initial raid on Poseidon's palace before kidnapping a Ronin who trespasses on the Saints turf; he takes his prisoner to Aisha's house where he is summarily interrogated then executed. This proves to be a fatal mistake as Ronin lieutenant Jyunichi witnessed Johnny dispose of the body.

After Gat leaves the house, Jyunichi takes a crew of Ronin to break in and capture Aisha. When Gat returns with Playa, the former notices something is amiss when he sees that the door ajar. The Ronin prepare an ambush, but their plan is thwarted when Aisha shouts a warning. Jyunichi retaliates by decapitating Aisha, enraging Gat; he is provoked into a sword fight with Jyunichi whilst Playa kills the other Ronin in a large shootout. After disposing of all the Ronin Gat prepares to shoot Jyunichi. Before pulling the trigger he is inadvertently distracted by Playa - Jyunichi uses this momentary lapse in concentration to run Gat through with his sword, impaling him to the hilt. An ambulance is called but won't arrive in time, so Playa takes matters into their own hands, driving him to hospital with the help of another Saint.

Gat spends time recuperating, however this time is cut short when the Ronin infiltrate the hospital in an attempt to finish him off for good. Playa is visiting at the time and is able to get him away safely. After making a full recovery, Gat and Playa hold a funeral for Aisha, however the service is interrupted when the Ronin leader Shogo Akuji attempts to kill them as revenge for humiliating him and decimating his gang. After surviving the assault Gat, blaming Shogo for ordering Aisha's death, brutally beats him before burying him alive. He and Playa return to the Saints Hideout to defend an incoming Ronin invasion, before creating a diversion at the Chinese Heritage Festival, holding back the Ronin to allow Playa enough time to kill Kazuo Akuji.

After the Ronin are finally defeated, Gat becomes available as a homie. Once the gangs have been obliterated the Saints, along with Gat, move on to take down the corrupt company of Ultor in defense and retaliation against the new Masako strike team threat. During an assassination attempt against Dane Vogel, Gat uses a McManus 2010 sniper rifle to take out the surrounding guards to allow Playa to focus on Vogel's assassination. This plan fails as Gat is spotted by a security guard. Vogel uses this opportunity to escape into his office atop the enormous Ultor tower; Gat stays below at the entrance, buying Playa time. After Vogel is killed Johnny Gat does what he says he loves to do: shooting at oncoming waves of cops.

### *Saints Row: The Third*

**Josh**: "*Is this what it's normally like?*"
**Gat**: "*Normally the tellers don't use fucking shotguns.*"
**Shaundi**: "*Yeah, normally banks don't look like a palace either. You see those statues before you blew 'em up?*"
**Gat**: "*Will you forget the horses, these guards are packing military grade hardware...*"
**Playa**: "*Who the hell are we robbing?*"
 — The 3rd Street Saints remark on their botched robbery of the Stilwater 1st National Bank.
**Johnny Gat**: "*Birk's right--we traded our dicks in for pussies. Seriously... Movie deals? Commercials? The Saints name used to mean more than body spray and some ass-tasting energy drink.*"
**Playa**: "*Our brand's worth a shitload of money.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Is that what it's all about?*"
 — Johnny Gat, beginning to doubt the nature of the Saints.

In *Saints Row: The Third*, Shaundi, Playa, Josh Birk and Gat attempt to rob a bank as a publicity stunt. They encounter heavy resistance from unknown men and women dressed in red which prompts the gang to question who owns the bank. During the assault Birk sets off the silent alarm before fleeing the area, alerting the authorities who send SWAT teams to storm the bank. The Saints are eventually arrested after a large-scale shootout. When Playa is brought to Shaundi and Gat's cell, the latter expresses disappointment over what the Saints have become, lamenting that there's much more to the Saints name than "body spray and ass-tasting energy drinks".

Two high-ranking members of an organization called The Syndicate, Viola and Kiki, take the Saints aboard a plane owned by the Syndicate to meet with Phillipe Loren. After a heated discussion, Gat breaks free and proceeds to bash Loren's head into a plane window, causing explosive decompression; he promises to hold back the gang members and commandeer the plane, allowing Playa and Shaundi to make their escape. Before Playa and Shaundi jump out of the plane they speak to Gat via the intercom. His last words to them are "Right on, I'll see you in Stil-", before he's cut off by the sound of automatic gunfire.

Death
Once Playa and Shaundi land in Steelport, Phillipe informs them that Gat's death will be used as a symbol of fear by the Syndicate.

*The body of Mr. Gat will be a message for all who oppose The Syndicate. There is no mercy...only death. Don't mourn your friend. You'll be joining him soon.*— Phillipe Loren threatens Playa over the phone
After the Saints kill Phillipe and retrieve Gat's body, Playa and Shaundi go back to Stilwater to bury Gat, only to have the funeral motorcade ambushed by Killbane and his men while crossing the "Hughes Memorial Bridge". Upon returning to Steelport, a memorial party is held for Gat at the Saints HQ, although Shaundi doesn't approve.

*It's time we went back home and buried Johnny.*— Playa, after blowing up the Syndicate Tower in "The Belgian Problem"
Viola DeWynter was present on the plane, which landed safely in Steelport with Johnny's body. After her defection to the Saints, she references Gat's passing. During the abduction of Josh Birk, Viola remarks on Playa's bad luck and the death of their three friends (Lin, Carlos and Johnny Gat).

*Johnny's dead because he thought he could do everything on his own.*— Viola DeWynter during Gang Bang
*Yeah, a coma and 3 friends dead...it really worked out for you...*— Viola during Nyte Blayde's Return
At the end of the game, Johnny Gat is unlocked as Zombie Gat. The fact that Zombie Lin is referenced multiple times in *Saints Row: The Third* shows that Zombie homies are part of the story itself.

### *Genkibowl VII*

*Johnny Gat alive? Rumors circulate about the notorious gangster's fate.*— News ticker
During the opening cutscene of the first Activity in *Genkibowl VII*, "Apocalypse Genki", the news ticker reveals that rumors are circulating of Gat being alive.

### *The Trouble With Clones*

While Gat himself doesn't actually make an appearance in this DLC, it features a clone of him named Johnny Tag. He has the facial and hair resemblance from *Saints Row 2*, but still wears has his jacket from Saints Row: The Third. He has a Brute like form and his memories stop between Jyunichi killing Aisha and getting revenge on Shogo.

### *Saints Row IV*

After rescuing Matt Miller, Playa thinks that Johnny may be alive after Kinzie discovers another virtual prison in the form of a plane, corresponding with Johnny's defeat at the hands of the Morningstar. When Playa infiltrates the prison, however, it turns out to be holding Shaundi, who was haunted by her choice of leaving Johnny behind. Later, when Zinyak floods Virtual Steelport with past enemy gangs such as Vice Kings, The Ronin and Morningstar, Kinzie notices that it fits the psychological profile of Johnny. From this, the Saints know that Gat is alive.

Eventually, Kinzie finds Playa a way to enter into Johnny's mind, where Johnny has to relive the death of Aisha in the style of a 2-D sidescroller game. Aisha is kidnapped by Warren Williams, and both Johnny and Playa head to Kingdom Come Records to fight Warren. When Warren is defeated, they head to Aisha's house to face off with Jyunichi. During this time, Playa tries to snap Johnny out of the simulation, but he refuses to listen. After defeating Jyunichi, Johnny is freed from his container on the Zin mothership. Zinyak sends his army to track Johnny down, but Playa infiltrates the ship and kills them all. When Johnny is found, he stabs a Zin soldier in the back of the head and puts his signature sunglasses back on.

Johnny claims that Zinyak abducted him from Loren's jet years before the invasion of earth, as Zinyak believed Johnny alone could stop his plans.

After his rescue, Playa can partake in a Genki Arena created by Matt Miller with Johnny, and they catch up on what has been happening. After finishing the arena and killing a recreated Phillipe Loren, Johnny becomes a super homie after getting superpowers.

Johnny begins helping the Saints on their quest for taking down the Zin and going after Zinyak. When meeting in Simulation 31 where they end up being ambushed, Johnny teams up with Playa, Kinzie, Shaundi and Fun Shaundi to fight through the Zin invaders.

Johnny along with the Saints come to Playa's aid during their stand-off, and they eventually defeat Zinyak.

### *Saints Row: Gat out of Hell*

Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington are playable characters in *Saints Row: Gat out of Hell* instead of Playa. After watching Playa get sucked into Hell, Johnny forces the Ouija board to let him follow. Upon arriving, Johnny sees a billboard featuring Dane Vogel and assumes he is behind the kidnapping. After arriving at the Ultor building to question Dane, Vogel explains that Satan kidnapped Playa to marry his daughter, since they have caused more chaos and destruction than anyone in human history, making them the best choice to lead Satan's armies into heaven. Dane tells Johnny that the only way to confront Satan is to cause as much chaos as possible.

Johnny's efforts lead him to Satan's daughter Jezebel, who is looking for someone to rebel against her father. Jezebel takes Johnny to Satan's palace, but Satan holds her hostage, forcing Johnny to drop his gun. Satan, delighted, urges Johnny to marry Jezebel in Playa's place, but Johnny refuses to listen, so Satan proclaims that if Johnny marries Jezebel, he will allow Kinzie to leave Hell with Playa. On the day of the wedding, Johnny aims to rebel by shooting Satan, but is unsuccessful. Kinzie comes to his aid, and Johnny and Kinzie force Satan to surrender by fighting through his forces.

Kinzie, Playa, and Jezebel are safely transported home to The Ship. Johnny is detained by God, who offers to repay Johnny for stopping Satan's planned invasion of Heaven with Playa commanding his army in one of five ways. Johnny can either: visit Aisha in Heaven, become the new king of Hell, locate a new planet to rebuild the remains of Humanity, recreate Earth resetting the universe of Saints Row in the process, or discover the secrets of the universe.

## Personality

Johnny Gat is a brash, sarcastic, hot-headed, self-righteous, trigger-happy man. He is of Eastern Asian heritage and has a torrid, on/off relationship with local R&B diva, Aisha. Johnny has been seen as a stereotypical gung-ho like gangster and has absolutely no sympathy toward those he kills. Although Johnny is quite harsh and disrespectful to Aisha, Gat does have a soft and caring side as he goes berserk with rage upon the Ronin in his house after Aisha's death and informing Playa that Pierce and Shaundi are in danger. He also has a habit of cheating death as he survived being shot in the knee by a shotgun and stabbed in the stomach with a sword, and has taken out many gang members and cops by himself. Gat is incredibly strong, able to punch Shogo's head through a grave stone and able to free himself from a chair bolted to the ground that he was also tied to. In *Saints Row*, Gat has black hair with white dyed tips, but in the next game, it is all black.

* During the curtain call at the end of the game, Gat lacks the ability to dance, performing a few silly-looking dance moves before storming up to the camera and punching it in a rage.

* When recruited as a Homie, Johnny uses a Shokolov AR. He also uses an Z9 Handcannon and later a Xenoblaster during All Hands on Deck, and carries a Dominator in the Welcome Back final cutscene, All Hands on Deck beginning cutscene, as well as the beginning cutscene of Grand Finale Part Three and during gameplay if selected for that part.

### Audio Logs

*Main article: Audio Logs*

*Have to admit, didn't think much of the boss when they first joined the crew. Thought there was no way they were gonna make it through being canonized, let alone be any help takin' over Stilwater. Hell, they didn't even talk back then. But after that shit with the Vice Kings, I knew we found ourselves one hell of a Saint. There's nothing the boss can't do.*
— Gat Audio Log 1
*Things ain't never been easy for the Saints. First we lost Lin to the Rollerz back in Stilwater. Then Julius tried blowing up the boss and the Saints fell apart. After getting the crew back together, The Brotherhood had Carlos killed & Aisha... well, I lost her to the Ronin. And then fucking Phillipe Loren tried taking me out only to have Zinyak come in and snatch me from the Saints anyway. Like I said, shit's always been rough.*
— Gat Audio Log 2
*Aisha's death... hit me really hard. I thought I'd made peace with it, but Zinyak's fucking simulated hell took its toll. I know the whole point was I'd never be able to save her, but that shit would never stop me from trying. If the boss didn't show up to help, I don't know how much longer I could've kept it together.*

**Johnny Gat**: "*You know, if you'd just left us alone in Stilwater, your Syndicate would have lasted a lot longer.*"
**Phillipe**: "*And if you'd taken our offer on the plane, you might not have been captured and kept in your own personal mental prison.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Trust me, that wasn't half as bad as being forced to work side by side with your smug ass right now.*"
**Phillipe**: "*I did not make the decision to put us together, Monsieur Gat.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*You're right, it's like someone is intentionally trying to put us together to see what'll happen. Fucking fan-fiction.*"

Johnny and Veteran Child

**Johnny Gat**: "*So, how many times?*"
**Veteran Child**: "*What are you talking about?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*How many times has Shaundi kill you now. What, like, fifty?*"
**Veteran Child**: "*Not cool, man.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*I dunno, fifty is pretty impressive.*"

Asha and Johnny

**Asha**: "*Your boss speaks very highly of you.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Oh yeah we're tight. We go way back.*"
**Asha**: "*Given my training as a soldier, your boss might be specially interested in hearing about your exploits. Listening to your boss go on and on and on. I'll admit, I felt a bit of a rivalry against you.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Rivalry huh? Hehe. I don't think you need to worry about that.*"
**Asha**: "*Oh. Wasn't worried...*"

CID and Johnny

**CID**: "*Permission to speak freely, Mr. Gat?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Uh, sure...*"
**CID**: "*After researching your exploits both on earth and within your own simulation. I have come to a singular conclusion. You scare me...*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Oh, well good.*"
**CID**: "*That is all, thank you.*"

Johnny and Keith

**Johnny Gat**: "*God it feels good to be the fuck out of that pink ass vat.*"
**Keith David**: "*From what I hear you were there a long time.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Years, man, fucking years. Reliving the same hell day after day after day. It gets to you, you reach a point were you think if I gotta go through this fucking thing one more damn time I'm gonna snap.*"
**Keith David**: "*Yeah, I've had shoots like that.*"

Johnny and Ben

**Johnny Gat**: "*King.*"
**Ben King**: "*How's the leg been?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Hurts like a bitch when it's gonna rain.*"
**Ben King**: "*You know I'm sorry about that.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Fuck it, wasn't you who did it.*"
**Ben King**: "*Still.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Well, thanks.*"

Matt and Johnny

**Matt Miller**: "*If you don't mind me saying so Johnny, you're not nearly the psychopathic killing machine I was led to believe.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Oh, yeah? I guess I'll take that as a compliment.*"
**Matt Miller**: "*In fact I think I get you. Power at any cost, ultimate control, absolute loyalty to yourself. You and I share that, Johnny.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*All right, yeah. You know you're not so bad, Miller.*"
**Matt Miller**: "*We're like brothers.*"

Johnny and Pierce

**Johnny Gat**: "*So, Shaundi's still giving you shit?*"
**Pierce**: "*Every chance she gets. I swear man, I don't know what I did to piss that girl off.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Man, you didn't do a damn thing. It's just her way of showing affection.*"
**Pierce**: "*Oh, is that what you call it.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*You know, you're like a brother to her, Pierce. Always have been, believe me. She looks up to you more than you know.*"
**Pierce**: "*Wow, no shit? Huh, I guess maybe that makes sense. I mean, I always thought of her like a little sister, after all.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Then again, what the hell do I know. I've been stuck up on this damn ship for years.*"
**Pierce**: "*And I was just beginning to feel better about it. Thank you, Johnny.*"

Johnny and Roddy

**Johnny Gat**: "*It's nice to see a celebrity who can handle a gun, seems most of them can barely land a punch.*"
**Roddy Piper**: "*Yeah, I suppose you've met a lot of celebrities, huh?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Ehh, none that I've been impressed with.*"
**Roddy Piper**: "*I hear you brother, no shit.*"

Johnny and Shaundi

**Johnny Gat**: "*Yo, Shaundi. So, how's it been?*"
**Shaundi**: "*Fine. Just fine.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Ahh, you're not very convincing, you know?*"
**Shaundi**: "*Well, what did you expect? I thought I listened to you die. I thought that if we'd only gone back for you we could've stopped it.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Woah, woah, woah, hold up. I'm right here, I didn't die, and besides, that wouldn't have been on you.*"
**Shaundi**: "*That doesn't change what it's been like for me all these years. I really thought I'd lost you.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Yo, Shaundi look. I'm sorry you had to go through that. But, I'm here now. Alive and kicking! That counts for something, right?*"
**Shaundi**: "*Yeah, but I just can't go through that again.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Shaundi, don't worry. You won't have to, I promise.*"
**Shaundi**: "*Thanks, Johnny.*"

Johnny and Tanya

**Johnny Gat**: "*Hey, I'm sorry about Big Tony, but you know, that was business.*"
**Tanya**: "*Oh, don't worry about that. It's in the past.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Right.*"
**Tanya**: "*I'm just saying I'm willing to forgive and forget if you are, honey.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Tanya.*"
**Tanya**: "*Yeah, baby?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*You ain't getting close enough to shank me.*"
**Tanya**: "*Damn.*"

Johnny and Fun Shaundi

**Johnny Gat**: "*Never really thought I'd be seeing you like this again.*"
**Fun Shaundi**: "*Well I never thought I'd get all uptight and repressed.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Nah, you're not really that bad now. You just learned a few new things.*"
**Fun Shaundi**: "*Like how to stop having fun and get all aggressive and vengeful?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Hey, aggressive and vengeful is fun. Though I think that's the part you didn't catch on to.*"
**Fun Shaundi**: "*Uh, sometimes you have to spell it out for me.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Good point.*"

Kinzie and Johnny

**Kinzie**: "*So, why didn't you try leading the Saints?*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Didn't see the point.*"
**Kinzie**: "*Well, you're pretty charismatic, you've been a part of the Saints longer than anyone, people don't like pissing you off and even Zinyak thought you were the biggest threat to him.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*I've done the planning part in the past and it's boring. I rather just get in there and get shit done. I find it's more fun that way.*"
**Kinzie**: "*That's really not that different than how the Boss does things now.*"
