LOST AND THE DAMNED CHARACTERS:

MAIN CHARACTERS:

1.Johnny Klebitz:


Jonathan "Johnny" Klebitz (born 1974) is the main protagonist and playable character of Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, the first of two downloadable episodic packs for the game. Dan Houser describes Johnny to be "a very different character than Niko, with a very different background."

Johnny is the 34-year-old, Jewish Vice President of The Lost biker gang. Johnny was introduced to Billy Grey as a child by his elder brother Mikey. While Mikey became a law-abiding citizen, and eventually an Iraqi War veteran, Billy became a bad influence on Johnny and both started a life of crime, eventually joining the Lost MC's Alderney Chapter. Up until the start of the story, Johnny has been leading the gang in Billy's absence. Unlike Billy, Johnny actually cares about the future of The Lost Brotherhood and its members, brokering the truce between the Lost MC and Angels of Death. Johnny is also much more headstrong and sensible than the other bikers. Johnny bears many scars, is blind in one eye, and walks, runs, and sprints slightly slower than Niko and Luis, most likely as a result of injuries he sustained in a motorcycle accident.

Johnny Klebitz is voiced by Scott Hill.


2.Billy Grey:



William "Billy" Grey (1971–2008) is the President of The Lost Motorcycle Club and the main antagonist of The Lost and Damned. Billy was friends with Johnny's older brother Mikey as teenagers; this was how Johnny met Billy. At the start of the game, he is released from rehab after being "cured" of his heroin addiction and retakes his position as the club's President. Unlike Johnny, Billy is aggressive, reckless, and impulsive; he immediately breaks an uneasy truce Johnny had established between the Lost and their rivals the Angels of Death, reigniting a bloody turf war. Billy later leads a raid on the AOD Clubhouse to steal a large amount of heroin, falsely claiming it was to avenge the death of Lost MC member Jason Michaels. In the mission "This S***'s Cursed", Jim discovers that the stolen heroin belongs to the Triads. Billy wants to keep the heroin for themselves; however, Johnny and Jim, not wanting the attention associated with the drugs, manage to convince him to sell the heroin back to the Triads. When the deal takes place, the Triads, insulted by the thought of having to buy back their own heroin, immediately become hostile, and Jim and Johnny are forced to shoot their way out of Dragon Heart Plaza. At the same time, Billy is apprehended by the police, with several unexplained injuries. It is revealed in The Ballad of Gay Tony that Billy had actually arranged for the Triads to kill Johnny and Jim in the exchange. In the game's finale, Thomas Stubbs informs Johnny that Billy wants to testify against him and other members of Lost MC in exchange for freedom and a new condo in Arizona. Johnny and the remaining Lost MC members stage a raid on the prison, where Johnny faces and personally executes Billy. His arrest and betrayal are the key factors leading to the split and eventual break up of The Lost's Alderney chapter.

Billy Grey is voiced by Lou Sumrall.


3.Jim Fitzgerald:



James "The Fitz" Fitzgerald (1963–2008) is the Treasurer of The Lost Motorcycle Club and a close friend of Johnny Klebitz. It is implied he is one of the oldest gang members and unlike most of them, he is responsible, fair, calm and collected. He is also one of the only members with a stable family life, having a wife and young child. Jim can provide Johnny with a fully loaded weapon of choice, if he's called. After Johnny rips off Ray Boccino in a diamond operation, Boccino kidnaps Jim and tortures him by burning him with a blow torch. Together with Johnny, he manages to escape but is later killed by Niko Bellic in a bike chase. Johnny later remembers Jim as "the best thing to ever happen to the club". After Jim's death, Johnny promises to support Jim's family. It is mentioned in dialogue that Jim was a part of the marines before his life with The Lost.

Although the biker killed by Niko is reported to be Jim in in-game media outlets, his appearance and voice in Grand Theft Auto IV vastly differ from that in The Lost and Damned. Therefore, he technically only makes a "proper" appearance in the expansion pack.

Jim Fitzgerald was voiced by Chris McKinney.


4.Brian Jeremy:



Brian "BJ" Jeremy (1969–2008) is the Club Secretary in The Lost Motorcycle Club and is the tertiary antagonist in the game. He is completely loyal, if not a puppet, to the club's President, Billy Grey. During Billy's time in rehab, and Johnny's short stint as the club's President; he strongly opposes the policies Johnny enacts, such as forming a truce with the Angels of Death. This causes him to temporarily leave, and rejoin the gang once he and Johnny form a mutual truce. When Billy is released and reinstated as President, he makes Brian his right hand man, a decision which irks some members of The Lost due to Brian's departure. After Billy is arrested during a botched heroin deal, Brian, believing Johnny ratted Billy out to regain power, rallies other members of The Lost who supported Billy and forms his own chapter, starting a civil war within The Lost. After a brief gang war, Johnny, with the help of Jim Fitzgerald, is able to track down Brian at his safe house and has the option to execute him. Johnny then takes Brian's home for himself. If Brian is spared, he eventually reappears in a random street encounter, where he leads Johnny into a trap. Johnny kills Brian's gang and executes him.

In-game dialog reveals that Brian has never had a girlfriend, citing he "can't waste his time with that crap" and that he has all the "hole" he needs at the clubhouse. Johnny accuses Brian of having anti-Semitic belief - Brian insulted Johnny's Jewish heritage throughout the game. Interestingly, Brian's portrait is hanged up on The Lost's memorial after he dies, albeit heavily mistreated.

Brain Jeremy was voiced by Adrian Martinez.


5.Ray Boccino:



Raymond "Ray" Boccino (Born 1976) is a capo for the Pegorino Crime Family and is the secondary antagonist of the game. It is implied that he is in a relationship with Johnny's ex-girlfriend Ashley. Johnny first meets Boccino at the Lost Clubhouse, talking to Billy Grey about potential business. When the Lost enters a civil war after Billy's arrest, Boccino reveals the location of Brian Jeremy's safehouse, stating that the Lost's internal conflict is interrupting his business. Later, Boccino hires Johnny to steal $2 million worth of diamonds from nightclub owner Tony Prince and stash the diamonds in two separate trash bags to be picked up later by Boccino's men. He later tells Johnny to go to the Libertonian Museum to meet with Niko Bellic and sell the diamonds to the Jewish Mafia; however, the deal is ambushed by Tony Prince's personal bodyguard Luis Lopez, and Johnny escapes, taking the money. When Boccino learns about Johnny's double cross from Niko, Boccino kidnaps Jim Fitzgerald and attempts to torture him to reveal the location of the money. Johnny helps Jim escape, and Boccino sends hitmen after both of them. Johnny successfully kills the ones pursuing him; however, Jim is ultimately killed by Niko Bellic, who is working for Ray at the time. As a last attack against The Lost, Ray convinces its former president, Billy Grey, to tell the police of the dealings of The Lost. At the start of "Get Lost", Johnny wants to attack Boccino to avenge Jim's death; however, Stubbs tells him not to as he states that Boccino and the rest of the Pegorino Family is imploding, and its members will be arrested or dead within the month. Indeed, Niko kills Boccino on Don James Pegorino's order, and Pegorino himself is killed at the end of GTA IV.

He is a contact of Johnny Klebitz, and hires him to carry out missions for his political gain, such as killing his own uncle or hijacking a prison bus to help free some of his supporters. Later, Johnny helps Stubbs out with other small jobs, by either helping out one of his supporters escape police custody or killing or incriminating his detractors. At the end of the game, Stubbs helps The Lost Brotherhood by informing Johnny of Billy Grey's treachery, and how Grey plans to sell out Klebitz and the rest of The Lost Brotherhood so he can be set free.
