- “My infiltration into the Berkian world, years of building trust, behaving as if I were some buffoonish fop, kissing the boots of Stoick the Vast and his scrawny heir to the throne, all in pursuit of the one thing I could not obtain myself: The King of Dragons.”
- ―Johann revealing his true colors to Hiccup.
Trader Johann is the main antagonist in the DreamWorks•Netflix's series, DreamWorks Dragons. He is a seafaring trader who visits Berk from time to time, offering goods to barter for. Despite being introduced as a ally to the Dragon Riders, he is later revealed to be the true leader of the Dragon Hunters after Viggo's defeat, having secretly been working against Berk by pretending to be their ally for years.
Background[]
Personality[]
Johann was once believed to a peaceful man offering goods and always telling his stories. However, it is revealed to be ruthless and cruel man. He is will known to plan his evil scheme without anyone knowing his truth attentions.

He wears an off-white sack hat on his head, a long-sleeved shirt with deep blue white-swirled imprinted tunic and deep red sari over it, light gray cloth bracers on his arms (each bit of cloth goes between the second and third finger), brown belt with a yellow pack and knife around his waist, multicolored pinstriped pants, and light brown boots.
Abilities and Skills[]
- Intelligence: He was able to manipulate every person on Berk that he was an ordinary merchant so that he would understand their strengths and weaknesses. Johann was extremely patient and waited for years to gain the Hooligans' complete trust until the time was right for him to strike. He would often charm them with stories that he either made up or plundered from real merchants that he assassinated. Johann could tell if Viggo was betraying him through his time with the Vikings of the Archipelago.

Trivia[]
- While he is revealed to be the overarching villain of the entire DreamWorks Dragons TV series, he is canonically only evil in Race to the Edge to serve as a plot twist.
