Description[]
Johnny is a tiefling warlock with big horns and swept back hair. He wears a black leather jacket over a white t-shirt and tight jeans. He rides an infernal motorcycle that can drive itself.
Johnny acts as a "bad boy" character and uses 1950's greaser inspired lingo such as "daddy-o" and "lil' mama".
Background[]
Little is known about Johnny's past other than what is told to The Bad Kids by Fig’s dad, Gorthalax.
Johnny sells his soul to Gorthalax one day after going to the Durinson Mithral Factory to dance his feelings out. The deal is that Johnny would get warlock spells, but he wasn't allowed to have sex or masturbate. Johnny then uses his new warlock powers to commit crimes with his gang. However, after one bad job at KVX Bank, Johnny gets involved with The Harvestmen and is forced to run the poison tea, the palimpsests and the hellmouth jobs as a last resort.
History[]
The Beginning Begins[]
Johnny is seen hanging outside Aguefort Adventuring Academy with his girlfriend, Sam Nightingale. They are approached by Penelope Everpetal, who asks to speak with Sam. Sam says she's busy and that she can talk after school, but Penelope insists they talk now. Johnny watches with a blank expression until Riz Gukgak sneaks up behind him and taps him on the shoulder. Riz asks if he goes to school there and Johnny answers with a "hell no". Johnny motions to Sam, introducing her as his girlfriend.
Penelope recalls Riz from earlier that day and calls him "the ball", and Johnny asks why. Riz attempts to play it off that it's because he plays ball, but Johnny doesn't believe him. Riz tries to make conversation, but all of Johnny's answers are vague and dramatic. Finally, Sam asks if they can meet up later once she deals with Penelope, and he rides off.
After the Afterlife[]
The Bad Kids track down Johnny to the Arkon Gas Station and Garage with a tip from Penelope Everpetal. They spot him and his gang re-entering a dance studio at the back of the garage from being on a break. The Bad Kids watch them rehearse, and steal his car keys and a scratched-up palimpsest.
One of the members of Johnny's gang notices the Bad Kids taking his car, so Johnny and his gang follow in pursuit. As the biker gang gives chase, every single member of Johnny's gang is killed by the Bad Kids. Johnny dies on the highway by Fabian's arrow. From his body, Riz takes a brand-new cheap crystal in its box, a black book with the names of the missing girls and a monthly meeting labeled "Tea Time", his switchblade phylactery.
He is mentioned to be buried in the Cravencroft Cemetery alongside the rest of his gang.
Blast from the Passed[]
Johnny briefly returns during the fight atop the Goldenrod, showing that after he died he went to hell along with the rest of his tiefling gang. When Johnny returns he quickly taunts Fabian (saying stuff like daddy-o a lot), and challenges him to a dance battle. Before this can happen he is knocked off of the ship by a spell from Adaine, and though he climbs back up to the ship he is quickly killed again, presumably returning to The Bottomless Pit weaker, as that is what Alistair Ash claimed happened to damned souls if they die in hell.
