Brian Johnson

For the character in The Lost and Damned, see Brian Jeremy.

Brian Johnson is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who is mentioned in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Early life
Brian is the youngest known child of Beverly Johnson and the sibling of Carl, Sweet and Kendl. He apparently bore a strong resemblance to Carl, as Emmet initially mistook Carl for Brian when they first met.

Brian was associated with the Grove Street Families due to being a relative of the gang's leader, his brother Sweet. He had wanted to be in the gang, but had either no time or a short time in the gang. Brian lived in the Johnson House, Ganton, Los Santos until his death in 1987.

Death
Brian was killed in 1987. Plots about that event are unknown, but it possibly that a rival gang played a part in Brian's death. Carl himself was present during Brian's death.

After Brian's death, Sweet blamed Carl for his death, which led to Carl leaving Los Santos for Liberty City for the next five years. Carl did not attend Brian's funeral, confirmed when Sweet says: "That's another funeral you ran away from, fool. Just like Brian's".

Events of GTA San Andreas
Brian's death plays a big role in Carl and Sweet's relationship.

In 1992, Carl returns to Los Santos after his mother, Beverly, was killed by the Ballas. He missed the funeral, making Sweet angry at Carl for missing another one.

Before, attacking Big Smoke's mansion, while Carl and Sweet are outside Smoke's Crack Palace, Carl says he has to go in alone and that he let Brian die, mentioning that he is doing this for Brian.
