Johnny Belic

Johnny Belic is the President of the Red Viper gang - he took up the mantle after his older brother, Billy was sent to prison. Johnny is self-centred and egotistic, which is clear to fellow gang members. He is the son of Ida Belic and Arthur Belic, brother to Billy Belic and Maria Belic and uncle to Noah Belic, Kara Belic and Lee Belic.

Season 2
Johnny greets his nephew, Noah when he arrives at the Red Rosa bar to find answers about his father. This is years after Johnny has seen Noah and they are excited to see each other. Johnny has tension with his other nephew, Lee. The family convince Noah to join the Red Vipers and he eventually does so, with Johnny making a speech and presenting Noah, the son of the former President, as the gang's newest member. Johnny walks in when the Belics are looking at old family photos and calls a family meeting. He announces his plans to conduct a robbery on Mangelico Jewel Store, a property on the WestSide of Newcrest. Lee and Ida ridicule him and warn him that the WestSide have discriminated against the EastSide for a long time and this will only further their hatred of them. Johnny's ego gets in the way and he reveals his plans are already set in place. Ida slaps him for his stupidity. Johnny reunites with Frank Sullivan, an ex-husband of Ida. Johnny has a strong relationship with Frank because he always treated Ida's kids like they were his own, even long after their split. Johnny tells Frank about his plans to rob the jewel store, and Frank agrees to cover Johnny's tracks. Again, Ida warns Johnny not to go through with the robbery but Johnny shuts her out and continues the plan. The robbery goes wrong and the police arrive quickly, arresting Johnny and taking him to the Police Station. Ida visits him later and scolds him for his stupidity. She tells him that she has leftover cash saved from an old heist in case of an emergency, and may also be able to cook up a few loans to pay Johnny's bail of 150,000 dollars. Ida cooks up the money and Johnny is released on bail. He returns to the Red Rosa Bar and asks Frank if he grassed him up. Frank denies this and manipulates Johnny to skip bail and leave Newcrest to avoid serious jail time. Ida watches Frank leave and confronts Johnny. In an emotional confrontation, Johnny blames Ida for being a poor mother - for allowing Johnny's father, Arthur to physically abuse him and his siblings throughout their childhood. He remarks that Frank always seemed like a better parent. Later, Johnny takes one last look at the Red Rosa bar while Ida searches for him, before getting in his van and leaving Newcrest.
