First his keys were stolen, forcing him to take a cab to the concert and respite clear his guitar case. Second, during his performance with Lamiroir, his guitar outburst into flames for no apparent reason. last, to round off the hale debacle, Lamiroir ‘s bodyguard was shot absolutely with his own revolver. Justice and Klavier faced off in court again, with Lamiroir ‘s piano complement Machi Tobaye as the defendant. In court, Lamiroir named the Gavinners ‘ second guitarist, Daryan Crescend, as the very killer whale. Klavier refused to believe Lamiroir ‘s accusation at first, but finally came to grips with the truth. It turned out that Crescend was behind the illegal smuggling of a Borginian cocoon, and that everything that had gone wrong with the concert had been linked to the smuggling operation and the mangle. Klavier helped Justice again to find the testify, until finally there was no more evidence. The only way to prove Crescend ‘s guilt was if Tobaye admitted to being involved with the smuggle, which he did because the penalty in his country was death, and he would receive a lighter conviction in the United States.

Nonetheless, Klavier remembered that the jury, not the estimate, had the might to decide the defendant ‘s destiny. When Kristoph found out about the jury, he was ferocious at the view of his plan being nullified by common people. Klavier told his brother that the law no longer needed him, and the jury declared the defendant innocent of the mangle .

Main article: Turnabout Academy

Following the Gavinners ‘ separation, Klavier redoubled his efforts as a prosecutor. Roughly a year after the Misham character, he returned to the Themis Legal Academy, this time as a guest invited by Courte and the defense lawyer course teacher Aristotle Means, to watch a mock test put on by the students, with the recently reinstated Phoenix Wright besides being invited. If the prosecutor scholar, Robin Newman, won the mock test, she would be treated to a lesson from Klavier, while Wright would do the lapp for the defense lawyer student, Hugh O’Conner, if he won. Klavier was besides asked to put on a special show for the academy as region of their school festival. Klavier agreed, and worked with judicial student Juniper Woods to create a special performance of “ The Guitar ‘s Serenade “, in which she would wear an equip based on Lamiroir ‘s. During the mock trial, Courte ‘s soundbox was discovered and Woods was arrested on suspicion of mangle. Klavier soon found Justice investigating the encase along with his new colleague Athena Cykes, who had taken her acquaintance Woods ‘s case. Klavier agreed to help Cykes and Justice in their efforts by taking part in an abridge version of the mock trial aboard Justice in order to help ascertain the facts of the case. He did not take the prosecutor ‘s terrace in the actual test ( with said role being taken by Simon Blackquill ), alternatively opting to help Cykes. The following day, Klavier found Cykes and Justice at the crime scene, and helped them reassemble two statues that had been broken near the crime setting. Klavier late used his connections in the music diligence to have an criminative videotape analyzed and determined to be a fake designed to incriminate Woods. After the trial, Klavier and Woods performed for the students, with Wright, Justice, and Cykes amongst the consultation. Klavier would later express his hopes for Woods as a evaluate, and said he looked fore to handling a casing alongside her at some charge in the future .

When Trucy Wright was set to make her adult television receiver magic debut in “ Trucy in Gramarye-Land “, Klavier was among the well-wishers who sent her flowers as a sign of accompaniment, sending a bouquet of loss roses ( along with a modest Gavinners logo bangle ). Ema Skye, having finally become a forensic detective like she constantly wanted, commented to Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes that she was glad to not have to work with the “ glimmerous dandy ” anymore, although she did inactive have some reservations about her modern superior, Nahyuta Sahdmadhi .

Singing career

[

Main article: Gavinners

Klavier started his rock band some fourth dimension before he started his law career. His ring ‘s first single, “ Thirteen Years Hard Time For Love ”, went platinum overnight. however, he considered his set a hobby compared to his job as a prosecutor. Despite this, The Gavinners became wildly successful, following up with hits like “ Love With No Chance of Parole ” and “ My Boyfriend is the Prosecution ‘s Witness. ” Seven years after kicking off his double career, Klavier visited Borginia. He met Lamiroir there and was entranced by her voice, calling it “ divine ”. He invited her to sing in one of his concerts, and he besides received a guitar. Lamiroir and Klavier performed a duet of “ The Guitar ‘s Serenade ” for the concert, but the guitar caught fire during the birdcall, and Lamiroir ‘s bodyguard was besides killed. Distraught by these events and the conviction of Crescend for the murder, Klavier decided that he would never play the sung again. Months belated, the jury test in which Kristoph was implicated as the killer affected Klavier so deeply that he decided to disband the Gavinners and pursue his law career more amply. A class late, despite Klavier ‘s earlier declaration, he agreed to play an acoustic version of “ The Guitar ‘s divertimento ” at the Themis Legal Academy ‘s school festival, with Juniper Woods taking the spill the beans character .

personality

[

]

Unlike Phoenix Wright ‘s common opponents, Klavier Gavin is quite good and friendly most of the clock, though he will show hostility in some rare cases. He maintains his rock-star mannerisms in the court, and he avoids fact-finding make, but he takes both of his jobs very badly. While he is a perfectionist when it comes to his music, being easily angered if he hears flush the smallest error, he is more concern about getting the right person convicted when he is in court, which is another major difference from Wright ‘s rivals. vitamin a well, Klavier considers his music career a hobby and his jurisprudence career his real heat. Klavier Gavin is besides reasonably like Miles Edgeworth in that he shows deference for the pronounce, unlike some other prosecutors who frequently abuse the evaluate verbally or physically, or even do his job for him. When compared to his brother, Klavier can ultimately be considered a “ chaotic good “ individual, being in many ways an diametric to Kristoph ‘s “ true evil ” personality. sometimes, his band ‘s platinum hit single “ Guilty Love “ plays in the court ( i.e., it actually plays and people notice it ), and Klavier sometimes makes gestures as if he is playing a solo on an invisible electric guitar. Although Klavier is n’t actually german, as evidenced by his perceptibly affected dialect, [ 1 ] his speech makes gratuitous use of german words, even starting his pet names for assorted people with “ Herr ” ( german for “ Mr. ” ) and “ Fräulein ” ( german for “ Ms. ” ) ( e.g. “ Herr Forehead ” for Justice ), and beginning several sentences with “ Achtung ” ( Attention ). He is cool and confident, and he likes to taunt and tease Apollo Justice when the defense lawyer falters. Klavier has a foreign dynamic with Apollo Justice, in that the prosecutor does not seem to see Justice as a rival at all. He much calls Justice “ Herr Forehead ” in address to an objection made by Justice about where a murder victim had been shot, a well as to the defense lawyer ‘s rather large and debunk frontal bone. however, unlike the prosecutors whom Phoenix Wright had to face during his time as a lawyer, Klavier is pretty friendly towards Justice out of the court, even talking openly to him about cases on which they are both presently working. Justice, on the early hand, does n’t seem fond of Klavier, often showing jealousy and a sense that Gavin is “ stealing the picture ” during trials, a well as displaying a certain level of contemn towards Gavin ‘s trade name of forte music. Justice acts exasperated and irritated with Klavier even when they were both helping Athena Cykes with her probe. Despite this, the two finally worked together in court to convict Kristoph Gavin. Klavier has a similar work relationship with Ema Skye, with the prosecutor teasing her and the detective treating the “ glimmerous dandy ” with contempt. Klavier would frequently come up with lyrics for his music on a caprice, and even changing them on a notion, a lot to the chagrin of Daryan Crescend. He 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. Klavier besides enjoys traveling and can speak a little Borginian.

Although most other lawyers tend to either slam their fists or palms onto their desks when making a indicate in court, Klavier alternatively slams his fist behind him into the court wall .
