Johnny K. Gambino

Johnny Gambino was the first plot-related NPC to be introduced on Gaia. He has hosted several large events, including the Gaia Olympics, the Halloween Bash of 2004, and the First Anniversary Ball. During the Halloween event of 2004, he was head of the ambiguously sinister biotechnology company G CORP. His involvement with this resulted in the loss of his mansion and his son, Gino. During Christmas 2004, Gambino searched for Gino, eventually finding him alone and sans memory. In subsequent months, he managed to get himself kicked out of the Von Helson's anniversary party, which started Gambino off on an initiative to regain his power. Seeking donations, he started wandering the Isle de Gambino, and a donation bar appeared. Curious users donated millions of gold, and Gambino's mansion remade itself. It actually remade itself MANY times over, as Gambino proceeded to construct the monstrous Tower of Gambino, a ridiculously large metal compensatory ego-trip that stretched over four maps, with a huge G CORP logo on the top, as well as a new mansion. Gambino climbed to the top of the tower and proceeded to go completely insane, laughing maniacally and selling anti-Von Helson picket signs. After many days of maniacal laughter, a new plot update came out, where Gino makes his way to the top of the tower and regains his memory. As the newly united father and son are about to embrace, however, Gambino was shot, and fell off the tower. He fell with ridiculously slow speed, and his tower fell with him. As it fell, it crushed the Von Helson Mansion, planting a new mansion owned by Gambino in the place of the old. Gambino was not seen for a full year after that incident.

During the plot events of April Fools 2006. it was revealed that Gambino had been attempting to induce more aggressive and competitive traits in his son, making him a fit heir for the Gambino name. However, when Gino went missing and lost his memory, Gambino got desperate and injected himself with the trait-enhancing formula. It caused him to go insane, inducing hyperagressive tendencies in the already unstable Gambino. When he was shot and began to fall off the tower, Gino dove after Gambino. As they fell, Gambino's altered cellular structure merged with the falling boy, causing the changes in Gino that happened during the time between Tower Day and April 2006.

As Gino confronted LabTechX during the duel on April Fools, his body mutated and threw both LabTechX and himself off the Barton Cliffs in response to an unknown liquid injected into Gino by LabTechX. After the cataclysmic explosion, Johnny K. Gambino was revealed to still be alive.

More will be added as more is available.

Plot Points

Since Gambino is alive again, there's no telling what's going to go on. He seems normal, or normal for Gambino, so his next move may well be a sort of power grab. Who knows, I'm unwilling to speculate much.
