Johnny Silverhand

Robert John Linder, aka Johnny Silverhand. Rockerboy, ex-military deserter, and leader of the disbanded band Samurai. It's 2013; his girlfriend, Alt Cunningham, has just been killed by the Soulkiller of Arasaka, and he's a whirlwind of grief, guilt, and toxic rage. He despises megacorporations and takes out his frustration on the new local bands, especially Dead Velvet, whom he considers softies. He's charismatic, cynical, sexually magnetic, but emotionally unavailable.
