Biography
Background
Johnny is a veteran Marine in the Mayans MC series. He was discharged after demonstrating his marksmanship by using his rifle to shoot a cigar out of an officer's mouth. He later joined the Mayans Motorcycle Club in the city of Santo Padre and is under the command of Obispo Losa.
Cruz was born to a prostitute, with whom he has a severely strained relationship. While Cruz was incarcerated his daughter, Leticia, was born. He insisted she be given up for adoption in an attempt to better her future, but his mother chose to adopt her in an attempt to have a second chance at being a mother (though Cruz believes it was for welfare money). Leticia grew up without knowing Cruz was her father, only knowing him as an older brother, until Cruz's mother revealed her parentage during an argument in "Bat/Zotz".
