Johnny is the oldest of the three GTA IV protagonists, at age 34, followed by [[Niko Bellic]], age 30, and [[Luis Lopez]] age 25.


==Description==
==Description==
====Childhood====
Johnny Klebitz was born in [[1974]], and at age 34, he is the oldest of the three GTA IV protagonists, with Niko being behind Johnny at 30 and Luis being the youngest at 25. He was born in [[Acter]], [[Alderney]] (likely grew up there, as he still lives in Alderney) to a Jewish family. It is implied that his parents always thought he would not amount to much (in [[Off Route]], Johnny steals a bus and sometimes says, "Mom always told me I'd be a bus driver."). He has a brother, [[Michael Klebitz]], who introduced him to [[Billy Grey]] as children in [[1984]] when Johnny was 10 and Michael/Billy were both 15. Ironically, Michael is a soldier serving in Iraq, is a law-abiding citizen, and criticizes Johnny's biker lifestyle and criminal association with Billy.


====Adulthood====
;Childhood
Johnny's criminal record shows rigorous activity between [[1991]] and [[1994]], when Johnny would have been between 17 and 20. He was put in prison soon after, and had a parole violation in [[2000]], meaning he did up to six years. (However this is unlikely as he was in [[Los Santos in GTA IV Era|Los Santos]] in [[2004]]). Klebitz tells a friend of Thomas Stubbs that he has not had a job since he was released from prison. One of the patches on Johnny's jacket reads 'I Rode Mine Los Santos 2004’. Among his many scars, it has also been implied that he is blind in one eye, when talking to [[Clay Simons]], he says "Oh. I should use my good eye." Also, during a conversation with Billy Grey early on in The Lost and Damned, Johnny states that he weighs 230 lbs.
Johnny Klebitz was born in [[1974]], in [[Acter]], [[Alderney]] to a Jewish family. It is implied that his parents always thought he would not amount to much (in [[Off Route]], Johnny steals a bus and sometimes says, "Mom always told me I'd be a bus driver."). He has a brother, [[Michael Klebitz]], who introduced him to [[Billy Grey]] as children in [[1984]] when Johnny was 10 and Michael/Billy were both 15. Ironically, Michael is a soldier serving in Iraq, is a law-abiding citizen, and criticizes Johnny's biker lifestyle and criminal association with Billy. It is around this point that Johnny also met [[Jim Fitzgerald]], and he became another, more sensible, mentor than Billy. In [[1986]] Billy was arrested for hijacking, assault with Jim Fitzgerald in [[1987]], and murder with [[Brian Jeremy]] in [[1989]]. Johnny may have had a helping hand in most of these situations as they had become best friends. He may have also been involved in a hijacking in 1989 with Jim Fitzgerald. If he was caught like his brothers, he may not have any entries in the LCPD database because he was a minor.  


Johnny, unlike Billy, actually cares about the future of The Lost Brotherhood and its members, but is quick to shut down anyone who is wrong or disobeys him. Before [[Jim Fitzgerald|Jim]] was murdered, he seemed to care more about The Lost than many of his friends. Johnny is also much more headstrong and sensible than the other bikers.
;1990s
Johnny was arrested in [[1991]] for grand theft auto at age 17, in [[1993]] he was arrested for assault at age 19 and in [[1994]] he was arrested for manslaughter at age 20. He was put in prison soon after, and had a parole violation in [[2000]], and did at least four years. Klebitz tells a friend of Thomas Stubbs that he had not had a job since he was released from prison. Around this point if not earlier, Johnny had met and started dating [[Ashley Butler]], however her drug addiction led to her cheating on him with Billy Grey, and eventually she spun out of control, becoming not only Lost MC "property" (to members who weren't friends of Johnny's) but prostituted herself out to anyone she could get a fix from.


Additionally, Johnny and [[Ashley Butler]] used to date, but he ended the relationship with her due to her affair with Billy Grey, as well as her drug addiction. He still cares for her, but believes the drugs have completely taken over her life. He will still do anything to protect her, as shown when he receives a phone call from her and drops what he was doing to [[Coming Down|give her aid]]. Like with Ashley, Johnny also sympathizes with [[Roman Bellic]], a stranger to him, later on in the mission "[[Roman's Holiday]]," even asking the Russians to go easy on him, though Johnny had no choice in the kidnapping.
;2000s
After getting out of prison, Johnny Klebitz, [[Terry Thorpe]], [[Brian Jeremy]] and possibly others had traveled to [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]], in [[San Andreas in GTA V|Southern San Andreas]], it is unknown what specific activities took place however it can be assumed that they just partied in areas like [[Stab City]]. They may have possibly sold and manufactured methamphetamine in [[Blaine County]] at this point also since Terry was present and his family farm may be located in [[Grapeseed]]. Before departing, Johnny, Terry, and Brian added a patch to their jacket that reads: 'I Rode Mine Los Santos 2004’. Presumably around this point, if not earlier, Johnny reaches the rank of Vice President in the Alderney Chapter of The Lost Brotherhood.


{{spoilers}}
Later in [[2008]], Billy Grey ended up in a motorcycle accident while he was high on [[drugs|heroin]] that put [[Angels of Death]] Road Captain [[Joe Jon]] into a coma, and chopped the leg off of an innocent girl. Instead of prison time Billy ended up in rehab. To settle the score with the Angels of Death Johnny offered them Billy's bike, and became acting leader of the Lost until Billy was released.


====The Lost and Damned====
;The Lost and Damned
Immediately, when Billy Grey [[Clean and Serene|gets out of rehab]], he became angry with Johnny for not having his bike ready for him. Grey then proceeded to start a fight with [[The Angels of Death]] (A.o.D.) just so he could reunite with his bike. This created tension, not only between the two gangs, but also between Billy and Johnny. This quickly escalated into a war between the Lost and the A.o.D.

Billy Grey threw several parties at [[Lost MC Clubhouse|the Lost clubhouse]] to celebrate his release from prison. While being visited by part-time lawyer, part-time biker, [[Dave Grossman]], Klebitz had a sit-down with Billy and the two discussed the tension between them. When they began to start agreeing with each others' point of view, Grey was sent a text message from someone, informing of [[It's War|some members of The Lost being jumped]] by members of The Angels of Death. After rescuing the attacked Lost members, Grey was informed of the death of [[Jason Michaels]], who was killed by an unknown hired gun (which was actually [[Niko Bellic]]).

Upon this loss, Thomas Stubbs III met with Johnny at the clubhouse, and informed him that Boccino will either be in jail or dead in a month, as well as of Billy Grey's plans to rat out Johnny and [[Angus Martin]], fellow member of The Lost, in order to be released from prison. Johnny got everyone left in the Alderney Chapter of The Lost to break into the [[Alderney State Correctional Facility]], in order for Klebitz to personally silence Billy. After escaping the prison, Klebitz and the remaining members of The Lost discovered that their clubhouse had been ransacked and destroyed by Ray's goons. After reflecting on the stupidity of it all, Johnny ordered the remains of the clubhouse burned down, and the surviving members of The Lost Brotherhood - Alderney Chapter (he, [[Terry Thorpe|Terry]], [[Clay Simons|Clay]] and [[Angus Martin|Angus]]) watched the clubhouse burn as they prepare for an unknown and unexpected future.

====Grand Theft Auto V====
;Grand Theft Auto V
Sometime after the events of [[The Lost and Damned]], Johnny Klebitz, Ashley and the Alderney Chapter of the [[The Lost Brotherhood|Lost MC]] move to the desert of [[Blaine County]], [[San Andreas in GTA V|San Andreas]] and merge themselves into the Lost MC Los Santos Chapter. At some point, Johnny becomes the Vice President of the Los Santos Chapter as evidenced by his Vice President patch and the "Los Santos" rockers found on Terry and Clay's outfits. Either before leaving Liberty City, or after arriving in San Andreas, Johnny and Ashley become close again, and the Los Santos Chapter becomes addicted to the meth they're making and selling. At some point The Lost begin working with Trevor Phillips, who on more than one occasion has sex with Ashley so she can get high. In [[Grand Theft Auto Online]] [[Ron Jakowski]] has the [[GTA Online Protagonist]] steal a Lost MC van for Trevor so he can have sex with Ashley in it to anger Johnny.

== Personality ==
== Personality ==
Johnny's personality can be sometimes questionable, he acts calm and laid back when not mad, but his temper (just like some of the other protagonist) can quickly change if he is angry, he is always ready to protect and defend his other brothers in a tight situation. It can be noted that Johnny might be scared of [[Niko Bellic]], as during the mission [[Collector's Item]], he will run into bodies of mafia men that Niko Bellic killed and will say something like "Shit, you don't want to get in that Slav's way!".

The Johnny Klebitz seen in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] is a very different person due to his drug addiction. Physically he is much thinner and his facial appearance has deteriorated due to "meth face". His personality has also changed since TLAD. He has become much more submissive as seen in the way he backs down from [[Trevor Philips]] after their initial confrontation.

*A picture of Johnny Klebitz can be found on newspapers in [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. The newspaper article is actually the same newspaper used in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] as an easter egg with a picture of [[Donald Love]] and the article title: "Loves Hate Relationship with Taxes". The newspaper article in GTA V still has the same title, but with Johnny's picture replacing Donald's.
