Biography
Giovanni (Japanese: ジョヴァンニ, Hepburn: Jovan'ni) was a Japanese male who was born in the years after the Great Cataclysm (大災害, Daisaigai) where he came to be a citizen of the Tokyo Empire. It was said that his ancestors helped construct the Amaterasu Generator alongside the Joseph clan and the founders of what would become Haijima Industries. While a source of power and stability for the people of Tokyo Empire, Giovanni's bloodline knew it was intended to be a means of ensure another Cataclysm would be successful. While vital to the project, the Joseph clan would realise there was a human being at the core of the system and would abandon their position. The Giovanni family would monitor For many years, Giovanni transferred from one young body to another using his parasite abilities in hopes of seeing the day that Adolla engulfed the world. In his 'youth', Giovanni was the apprentice to Vulcan's grandfather alongside Vulcan's father. On the day Giovanni left the workshop, both his master and fellow student went Infernal at the same time. Shortly after this, Giovanni started working for Haijima industries in spite of the Joseph family's disdain for the organization. Because of this, Vulcan is one of the few people who has seen Giovanni's face and Giovanni has a detailed understanding of the young inventor's history. In recent times, Giovanni has used his influence within Haijima to have merchants and stores blacklist Vulcan to deprive him of materials.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Giovanni was a human whose features and body were masked by a uniform with his face being hidden behind a plague doctor mask.
An exceptional scientist, Dr. Giovanni was dedicated to expanding his knowledge. This saw him do so through experimentation where he was even capable of changing his own body.
He tended to view things from a scientific perspective and often spoke his mind when engaging with others.
Despite that, he was highly secretive and deceptive where he hid much about his true nature including his face.
Giovanni was very suspicious, secretive and deceptive going as far to hide his face so thoroughly that even the other captains do not know what he looks like. While initially seeming to be focused on the security of the Empire and success, the doctor was actually a more callous and ruthless individual. Belittling the intelligence and naivete of his opposition and attempting to murder others if they will not work for him.
Once his true colors are revealed, Giovanni shows fanatical loyalty to the Evangelist that pushes him into impassioned speeches about his master's knowledge and disregarding individual human life in the pursuit of global schemes. He also becomes ecstatic when he gains progress in understanding Adolla and commits countless experiments to obtain understanding of the strange realm. Simply being able to look upon Adolla was a major goal for him.
In addition to manic and emotional outbursts, he demonstrates a cruel and twisted sense of humor, alongside manipulative and abusive behavior towards his subordinates. Even willing to sacrifice their lives to destroy his enemies. He also seems to believe that non-powered individuals are fated for death in the wake of Spontaneous Human Combustion.
Powers and abilities
With his keen intellect, Giovanni was able to carry out ambushes with ruthless efficiency and outmanoeuvre his opponents. His intelligence also allows him to create a variety of tools, including mechanical arms and blades that are strong enough to directly grapple with Obi in a test of strength, tasers capable of subduing powerful opponents and a hidden gun within his cane. However, unlike Vulcan's creations, Giovanni's inventions are fragile and easily destroyed.
Giovanni was a human born with the ability of Spontaneous Human Combustion (人体発火現象, Jintai Hakka Genshō) where he was one of the Second Generation (第二世代, Dainisedai) that were able to manipulate and control existing flames. He used his ability to manipulate external flames and control the various gadgets and mechanisms that he keeps hidden under his coat. He is able to launch his mechanical hands as projectiles and control their movement in mid-air. These hands were connected to wires that can be heated until they slice through trees and human beings.
Despite his thin build, Giovanni proved himself to be very durable as he was able to quickly recover from heavy blows.
Later on, he came to modify his body further by adding characteristics of the fire bugs thus giving him insect-like traits.
