Johnny K. Gambino is the most powerful man in all of Gaia. His first appearance was made at the First Gaia Anniversary Ball along with his son, Gino Gambino. The Ball was held in his mansion on the Isle de Gambino. He later also held the Easter 2k4 party, the Gaia Olympics and the Halloween 2k4 event. Unfortunately, the Halloween 2k4 Party ended with his mansion being destroyed and his fortunes being dissolved.
After the loss of his wealth, another family, The Von Helson Sisters decided to take the role of 'most powerful women of Gaia'. They hosted The Second Gaian Anniversary Ball. Gambino was disgusted at their pointless displays of wealth, disparaging them and saying that their late father would never have approved. He started causing havoc for the Von Helsons by promoting himself, even giving away some G Pins. In retaliation the Von Helson twins held Gino hostage. They told Gambino that he must agree to never come back to Durem (and never attend events hosted by the twins) in order to get Gino back. Gambino agreed, finally choosing to be a good parent, and was able to have Gino back.
With the people on his side, he regained his power from donations in the spring of 2005. With this, he built a gigantic tower. However, he reached his demise (for the moment) when an unknown assassin shot him from the Durem clock tower on April 1st, 2005. He was missing and presumed dead for a year, with Gino taking over his legacy.
One year after his supposed death, it was revealed that he has merged with Gino on a molecular level, allowing them to split apart when LabTech X injected them with a Vial of Unknown Liquid. He and Gino are now both alive and well.
During the Halloween 2k6 event, he released the Red Bino Energy Drink, to raise money to rebuild his mansion. It was later revealed that Gambino joined a partnership with the Zurg's leader, "Mother," which shocked some Gaians. A little while later, on December 12, in an exclusive interview with Cindy Donovinh, he stated that his partnership with Mother had ended. He stated that some members of the Gaian Resistance showed him blueprints showing a Zurg plan involving the Zurg homeworld, Gaia, a "stargate" (which some Gaians call it), and Santa Claus. He said he showed the blueprints to Mother, but he disliked her explanation. He immediately severed all ties with Mother.
