Johnny Silverhand
Johnny Silverhand is a prominent
character in the game Cyberpunk 2077.
He was the frontman of a well-known
band called Samurai and was one of the
more prominent figures fighting against
the corporations, especially Arasaka, back
in the day. Charismatic to a fault, Johnny’s
impulsive and manipulative nature have
led many to label him a terrorist.
In 2023, he was killed by Adam Smasher
following an attack on Arasaka Tower.
However, his personality was digitized by
the Soulkiller program and placed into a
biochip called the Relic. Now, that biochip
resides in V’s brain following The Heist
main job.
Johnny Silverhand is known for his
extreme and carefree
personality—burning down half the city to
prove his point, and burning down the
other half for fun. He is described as
someone with a good sense of humor,
and can be snarky and sarcastic. Despite
his rebellious nature, he plays a significant
role in the game’s storyline, serving as a
narrator and guide for parts of the game.
His character is voiced by actor Keanu
Reeves.
