Refresher: The last time we saw Johnny Boy was in Chapter 1 and his face was on fire. Raul kicked a burning log into it.
Background: Scott and Johnny Boy are brothers in the blood. Their mutual creator was the former Baron of El Cajon, an old military Vampire who went by the name Lucky Jack Lively, and was killed in 1996. The Barony of El Cajon then passed to Lucky Jack's sister in the blood, Agnes Sinclair. Agnes was Kurt's creator but she was murderer by Lucian 3 years before all of this takes place. Kurt then inherited the territory and he looks after his two younger cousins--Scott and Johnny Boy. Scott is now Captain of the Night Watchmen and works directly for Count Lucian. Scott still helps out in El Cajon because he lives there and that's where all his family is.
You can get more of a background on the politics of the city here. And you can find more on the main characters that have been revealed so far over here.
i also seem to recall that 'pig' wanted hotaru for dinner, so NOT sending him is indeed a very good idea ;-)
btw, where does all this background come from, are there other comics from this verse already?
There is an expanded universe in the works and it was always part of the plan to ultimately bring several stories together. Those are coming... *checks watch* ...soonish. There's also some backstory extras on Patreon. I put the abridged version of those up on our website so you're not missing too much.
