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 The Protagonist[8][9]

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[10].

Gat's 'head on' strategies typically involved massive amounts of bloodshed and extensive property damage. After introducing The Protagonist to Gat's girlfriend Aisha, the three plot out a way to strike at the Vice Kings[11]. They loaded up a car full of C4 and took it to the gang's recording studio, blowing it up and leveling the place to the ground[12]. Despite all this, Gat admitted to having an admiration for Benjamin King, the Vice King's leaderTemplate:Fact. Despite having been almost crippled after being shot in the leg by Anthony Green[13], Johnny managed to move on along with The Protagonist on successfully destroying the Vice Kings.[14] 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[15], Johnny Gat takes part in the assassination attempt against the Chief of Police Monroe, resulting in the police chief's death.[16] After that, Johnny begins to spend more time with Aisha.[17]

Saints Row 2

Johnny Gat: "Shit, 'bout time your burnt ass woke up..."
The Protagonist: "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 The Protagonist in Saints Row 2 during "Appointed Defender".[18]

After The Protagonist fell into a coma, Gat attempted to kill Troy Bradshaw for betraying the Saints.[19] However, he failed and was taken to prison, in which he stayed for 2 years and 31 days. He was going to be executed for 387 counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder, but in his appeal trial, The Protagonist bursts into the court room, kills the guards, and rescues Gat.[18] Gat proceeds to help The Protagonist as second-in-command to resurrect the Saints, finding them a suitable new hideout[20] and canonizing new members into the gang.[21] After the Saints' resurrection, Johnny helps in taking down the Ronin, one of the new gangs that took over. Gat participates in the raid on Poseidon's palace[22] and kidnaps a Ronin who is on Saints turf, taking him to Aisha's house to be interrogated and executed.[23] This proves to be a fatal mistake as Ronin lieutenant Jyunichi saw Johnny dispose of the body.[24]

When Gat left the house, Jyunichi and a crew of Ronin break in and capture Aisha. Some time later, Gat and The Protagonist are heading back home and Gat notices something wrong as the door is ajar. The Ronin prepare to ambush them but Aisha shouts a warning to Johnny. In turn, Jyunichi decapitates her, infuriating Gat. As a result, Gat gets into a sword fight with Jyunichi while The Protagonist kills the other Ronin in a large shootout. After disposing of all the Ronin, The Protagonist accidentally distracts Johnny for a second while attempting to shoot Jyunichi, resulting in Johnny being impaled to the hilt and losing consciousness. The Protagonist manages to get him to hospital with the help of another Saint since the ambulance was taking too long.[25]

Gat stays in the hospital for a while up until the Ronin invade to finish him off, but The Protagonist, who is visiting Gat at the time, gets him away safely.[26] After making a full recovery, Gat and The Protagonist hold a funeral for Aisha, which is interrupted by the Ronin leader Shogo Akuji, who attempts to kill them in revenge for humiliating him and decimating his gang. Gat survives and, blaming Shogo for ordering Aisha's death, brutally beats him and buries him alive.[27] Gat and The Protagonist proceed on to defend the Saints Hideout from a Ronin invasion,[28] and he later creates a diversion at the chinese heritage festival, fending off the Ronin while The Protagonist kills Kazuo Akuji.[29]

After the Ronin are defeated, Gat is available as a homie. After 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. In an assassination attempt against Dane Vogel, Johnny uses a sniper rifle to shoot at the surrounding guards while The Protagonist attempts to personally murder Vogel. The plan fails when Johnny is spotted by a security guard. When Vogel escapes to his office atop the enormous Ultor tower, Gat stays below at the entrance, buying The Protagonist time. After Vogel is killed, Johnny Gat does what he says he loves to do: shooting at oncoming waves of cops.[30]

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..."
The Protagonist: "Who the hell are we robbing?"
— The 3rd Street Saints remark on their botched robbery of the Stilwater 1st National Bank.[31]
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.[33]"
The Protagonist: "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.[32]

Johnny Gat in Saints Row: The Third

In Saints Row: The Third, Shaundi, The Protagonist, Josh Birk and Johnny attempt to rob a bank as a publicity stunt. After they encounter heavy resistance from unknown men and women dressed in red, they begin to question who owns the bank. After Birk sets off the silent alarm and flees, SWAT storm the bank, and the Saints are arrested after a large-scale shootout.[31] When The Protagonist is brought to Shaundi and Gat's cell, Johnny expresses disappointment over what the Saints have become, saying 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, Johnny breaks out of his chair and bashes Loren's head into a plane window, decompressing it; he then says he'll hold off the gang members and commandeer the plane while The Protagonist and Shaundi make their escape. Before The Protagonist and Shaundi are about to jump out of the plane, they attempt to contact Gat on the intercom. He says "Right on, I'll see you in Stil-", before being cut off by the sound of automatic gunfire.[32]

Death

Once The Protagonist and Shaundi land in Steelport, Phillipe contacts them, informing them that Gat's death will be used as a symbol of fear by the Syndicate.[34]

After the Saints kill Phillipe and retrieve Gat's body[35][36], The Protagonist 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".[37] Upon returning to Steelport, a memorial party is held for Gat at the Saints HQ, although Shaundi doesn't approve.[38]

Viola DeWynter was present on the plane where Johnny was killed, landing safely in Steelport with both the plane and Johnny's body. After she defects to the Saints, she specifically references the fact that Johnny was dead.[39] During the abduction of Josh Birk, Viola makes a remark about The Protagonist's bad luck and mentions the death of his three friends (Lin, Carlos and Johnny Gat).

Johnny's dead because he thought he could do everything on his own.
— Viola DeWynter

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,[40] 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.[41]

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[25] and getting revenge on Shogo.[27]

Saints Row IV

After rescuing Matt Miller, The Protagonist 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 The Protagonist 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.[42]

File:Gat is Back trailer - reunited with The Protagonist.png

Johnny and The Protagonist reunite.

Eventually, Kinzie finds The Protagonist 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 The Protagonist 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, The Protagonist 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 The Protagonist infiltrates the ship and kills them all. When Johnny is found, he is seen stabbing a Zin soldier in the back of the head and putting his signature sunglasses back on.[43]

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.[44]

After his rescue, The Protagonist 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.[45]

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 The Protagonist, Kinzie, Shaundi and Fun Shaundi to fight through the Zin invaders.[46]

Johnny along with the Saints come to The Protagonist's aid during their stand-off, and they eventually defeat Zinyak.[47]

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell

Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington are playable characters in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell instead of The Protagonist.[5][6] After watching The Protagonist 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 The Protagonist 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.[48]

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 The Protagonist's place, but Johnny refuses to listen, so Satan proclaims that if Johnny marries Jezebel, he will allow Kinzie to leave Hell with The Protagonist. 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, The Protagonist, 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 The Protagonist 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 Korean 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 The Protagonist 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[49] and stabbed in the stomach with a sword[50], and has taken out many gang members and cops by himself. Gat seems to have nearly super-human strength as he punched Shogo's head through a grave stone[51] and freed himself from a chair bolted to the ground that he was also tied to.[52] In Saints Row, Gat has black hair with white dyed tips, but in the next game, it is all black.

Blood In, Blood Out: The Johnny Gat Story

Blood In, Blood Out: The Johnny Gat Story is a documentary about Johnny Gat. In Ultor Exposed, it is reported as airing before a repeat of an interview between Jane Valderama and Tera.[53]

Risking life and limb, mild mannered reporter Jane Valderama conducted a provocative interview with a rogue Ultor scientist who identified herself only as Tera. For those who missed it, Valderama's fearless live interview with the deranged microbiologist will be repeated tonight following "Blood In, Blood Out: The Johnny Gat Story"..

Trivia

Johnny Gat Voice Actor

Daniel Dae Kim

  • Johnny Gat is voiced by Daniel Dae Kim in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV.[54]
    • Johnny Gat bears some resemblance to his voice actor.
  • Johnny Gat's preferred firearm is a K6 Krukov.
  • Johnny's last name, Gat, is a slang term for a handgun or a machine pistol, originally derived from "gatling gun", which can also refer to firearms more generally. Also, gat, 갓, is Korean for hat, while 吉, is Chinese (Cantonese) for good luck (equivalent to Ji in Mandarin), meaning that Johnny might be of Korean or Cantonese heritage.
  • Johnny is severely wounded in every game, except for Saints Row IV.
  • Gat and Jane Valderamma are the only characters who are in every main game in the series with the same voice actor.
  • Johnny's glasses are prescription.[55]
  • Johnny is featured under J in The ABCs of Saints Row.[56]
  • Johnny is a playable character in Agents of Mayhem.[57]

Saints Row

  • Johnny drives a unique Venom during Saints Row, although he gives it to The Protagonist after "All the King's Men".
  • Because they are both Asian, some fans speculated that Johnny was related to Lin. To put the matter to rest, V-Singular (Volition, Inc.'s community manager) stated on the Saints Row forums that they are not related.[58]
  • During the mission "3rd Street Vice Kings" Johnny Gat uses a unique character model with Vice Kings clothes. His knee brace is especially visible during this mission.
  • The Protagonist can get neck tattoos very similar to Johnny's at Rusty's Needle.
  • After his rescue from Anthony Green's condo, Johnny's character model shows him wearing a knee brace.

Saints Row 2

  • Despite the fact that Pierce was charged with taking down The Ronin, Johnny Gat is actually in more Ronin missions.
  • If The Protagonist is female in Saints Row 2, people of Stilwater speculate that she may have romantic feelings for Johnny Gat, as some civilians say "Now that Aisha is out-of-the-way, are you gonna get with Johnny?".

  • Johnny drives a randomized Stiletto when called as a homie, and the Venom from the first game is not available at all in Saints Row 2.
    • Despite this, one of the Chop Shop lists states that Johnny's favorite car is the Venom Classic, but he never drives it at any point in the series.
  • In the second mission of Saints Row 2[18], Jane Valderama states that Gat has been convicted of one count of attempted murder and 387 counts of first-degree murder. Undoubtedly, that would send him to death row, and if not for The Protagonist's interference, he would have been executed.
  • During Dane Vogel's slideshow in the cutscene An Amazing Quarter, Johnny Gat is depicted causing a riot with other 3rd Street Saints.
  • The player can customize The Protagonist to look almost identical to Gat, though his neck tattoos are unavailable.

  • Gat claiming that Zinyak abducted him retcon's the established facts of the series.

In Saints Row IV, Gat references this by saying "Its not like anybody saw me die, right?"
  • Gat no longer sports any neck tattoos[79].

  • 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. He also does awkward moves in the line before and after his turn. This is an homage to the embarassing dance that Elaine does in the Seinfeld episode, The Little Kicks.
  • 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.

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell

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.
