Overview
During the Shadow Moses Island incident, Johnny was one of the Genome Soldiers that took part of Liquid Snake's uprising. He was the guard assigned to watch Donald Anderson's cell when Solid Snake first infiltrated the facility. When he heard Anderson died of a heart attack, he opened Meryl Silverburgh's cell by mistake and was knocked out and stripped by her, using his outfit as a disguise afterwards. Later, he guarded Solid Snake's cell in the medical room after being captured by Sniper Wolf.

He managed to escape authorities and joined the Gurlukovich mercenaries. During the Big Shell incident, he was spotted in a bathroom stall, complaining about his commanding officer, Olga. Later, he ran into Emma Emmerich while she was crossing the Strut L Oil Fence. Although he was assigned to watch out for intruders, he let Emma get away due to his experience with Meryl on Shadow Moses. Both of these conversations were heard by Raiden using the Directional Microphone.

During Operation: Snake Eater, his grandfather, also named Johnny, wa a GRU soldier who guards Naked Snake's cell after being captured by Volgin. Like his descendant, he can be heard to complain about his diarrhea.
