Klavier Gavin

1

Klavier Gavin is a prosecutor and the younger brother of Apollo Justice's former mentor, Kristoph Gavin. He was also the lead vocalist and guitarist of his own rock band, the Gavinners, before they disbanded so he could continue practicing law full time. Klavier usually gives off an air of poise, confidence, and affability befitting a rock star. He often comes up with and changes lyrics for his music on a whim, much to the chagrin of Daryan Crescend. He has described his music as being based on feelings rather than on memories. He was once so engrossed in his music that he lost his voice and kept on singing without even realizing it. He is also a perfectionist who is easily angered if he hears even the smallest mistake. Ultimately, however, Klavier considers his music career a hobby and law his real passion. While he maintains his rock-star mannerisms in the courtroom, and he avoids investigative work, he takes prosecution very seriously. Justice is not a rival to Klavier in the same sense as Phoenix's rivals were to him. Klavier's primary concern is not in winning but in the excitement of a fair fight (seen in, for instance, the way he has described his ill-fated clash with Kristoph) and testing his opponent's integrity. As such, he would have no issues with openly discussing cases with the defense, letting them investigate crime scenes unhindered by the police, and even helping the defense if he was unsatisfied by how the trial might end. Klavier also likes to tease Justice when the defense attorney falters, for example often calling him "Herr Forehead" in reference to an objection made by him about where a murder victim had been shot. Klavier has a similar working relationship with Ema Skye, with the prosecutor teasing her and the detective treating the "glimmerous fop" with contempt, though Skye does not seem to have a positive view of Klavier, preferring her working relationship with Nahyuta Sahdmadhi despite the latter treating her harshly. for fun bye
