Johnny Gat is a brash, sarcastic, hot-headed, self-righteous, trigger-happy man. 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 seems to have nearly super-human strength as he punched Shogo's head through a grave stone and freed 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.
