John Sutter, James W. Marshall and Samuel Brannan
Male. His real name is Samuel Brannan.
Sam Brennan ran through the streets of SF because he wanted to create excitement and sell his tools.
Sam Brennan was making lots of money selling tools to the few people that knew of the prospect of gold. His idea was to spread the word so that more gold seekers would find their way to his store to buy tools. The demand was so high that he could manipulate his prices and make a fortune. Which he did!
Chinese laundrymen would find significant amounts of gold dust in their laundry tubs, washed from the miner's clothes. Anyone selling essentials like food for example one egg could sell for $100 (at a time when in New York City an entire multi-course dinner at a good restaurant cost only $0.25) and fresh vegetables were almost as expensive.

Sam Brannan arrived in California in 1846, opening a general store in San Francisco. When gold was discovered in 1848, Brannan was one of the first to find out. He bought every shovel, pan and pickaxe he could find, creating a monopoly over those supplies in California. He then publicized the find in San Francisco.Every miner had to stop at Brannan's store to stock up on supplies. Before long, Sam Brannan was the first millionaire west of the Mississippi.
