Personality; Klavier is unlike the other prosecutors in the Ace Attorney games, he is very honest and friendly. Oftentimes, he likes to tease Apollo Justice if the other has faltered in court. What is different about this though is that his teasing often leads Apollo in the right direction. Klavier doesn’t care about how many wins or losses he has, all he cares about is getting the guilty convicted. He often times figures out who is actually guilty or innocent before Apollo but will not say so, instead he helps him. He loves music and will often “air guitar” in the court room. He is very musically inclined despite his status as a prosecutor. Due to his fame as the lead singer in The Gavinners, he is easily recognized outside of court, often by his fangirls. He loves to flirt with them and will generally remark on how easily recognizable he is. He knows he is famous and knows that women look at him. He is also a perfectionist, becoming angry or upset at even the slightest thing. It due to this need for perfection and to always find out the truth that both his brother’s and Daryan’s betrayal were taken quite hard. Daryan was his friend and fellow Gavinner, but Daryan wanted money and went to the black market to do it. Klavier didn’t stand for it and “helped” Apollo nail him once he figured it out.
However, it was Kristoph’s betrayal that he probably took the hardest. Once Apollo began connecting the dots from the trial of Vera Misham to the trial of the murder of Shadi Smith back to all the way to the fateful trial of seven years prior, Klavier figured out what was going on and couldn’t believe it. He refused to believe it at first, it was his own brother, after all. Apollo even remarked that it looked like Klavier was in pain, as the facts were coming to light. But once he did, he believed and accepted it. He even told Kristoph that he was not needed anymore. Klavier was accepting the change but it hurt to tell that to his brother.
Despite his love for his music, he claims that finding the truth is his real passion, his musical career a mere hobby. Though hilariously enough, he hates investigative work, but regardless, will always be professional and serious. But he is quick thinking and witty, often teasing and taunting Apollo in the courthouse but for all intents and purpose, simply wants to find the truth. Who is guilty and who is innocent. This is perhaps why he is considered to be so different from previous prosecutors. He is like Miles Edgeworth in that he respects the judge, but he won't act like the other prosecutors who tend to abuse the judge physically and verbally. And he, as mentioned earlier, is probably so unique because of his way of helping Apollo clear his client of the guilty verdict. It's because he had already figured out that the defendant was innocent, but as he is a prosecutor, he can't do anything about it. Except, of course, indirectly help Apollo prove it.
Klavier Gavin is a very different prosecutor in the Ace Attorney series, but a very likable and intelligent one at that.

Network Sample; Achtung!
[A blond man with an odd twisting side ponytail is now in your view, fellow Asgardians! He grins once he sees that he, hopefully, has your attention. He snaps his fingers, sweeping his bangs off to the side before speaking again with a light German accent. He also looks nonplussed about talking into a bracelet. Inside, he's totally weirded out but when would someone like Klavier Gavin actually show this? Never!]
Hello, my friends! Now, if I am really believe this (which, I don't by the way), I am to understand that there are others here as well? Herr Forehead? Fraulein Skye? Are you here as well? Or was I so lucky as to arrive on my own?
[If his bro is here, please don't tell him.]
In any case, if anyone can tell me more about this place, assuming this really is not some elaborate dream of mine [he totally thinks it is] then please, do tell! My name is Klavier Gavin.
Log Sample; There was a tension in the room so thick it was nearly suffocating. It emanated from one solitary figure standing within the enormous room. He was blond, well-kept, and glasses sat upon his face, but he was hunched over slightly, clutching his arms as if trying to keep himself together. He was shaking ever so slightly, as if trying to stop but the tense shoulders gave him away.
He broke the heavy silence, his voice quiet, low, and held an edge that wasn’t ever heard before. “H-How can you… allow this…?”
Why was that hardness, that edge, in his voice? It didn’t sound right. Not to the young man standing behind a brown desk, across from the one who looked so much like himself.
Klavier Gavin across from him looked at the man in the middle, his brother Kristoph, and began speaking, but he couldn’t focus on the words. He only focused on the one in the spotlight- the way the corner of his mouth twitched, the way he looked over his glasses with his eyes narrowed and brows furrowed. To say the man was angry was an understatement- he was absolutely furious!
The room’s tension increased impossibly, the man slamming a hand onto the stand, talking through clenched teeth, practically forcing each word. Still, he had no idea what the words were. It was just the sound, the air, everything that made up the furious individual before him that not only intrigued him… but frightened him. Never had his brother frightened him like this. And frankly, Kristoph had never given him much of a reason to.
...and then the man screamed, long, loud and this time, a name went with it. “WRIIIIIGHHHHTTTTT!!!!!!”
He felt his heart pound in his chest, fear clenching it, his pulse spiraling upwards, but he forced himself to stay where he was. He couldn't move. Not yet. He began to speak, his own words muffled in his ears...except for one sentence.
“You’re not needed anymore.”
Klavier awoke with a strangled gasp, breathing hard and raggedly. Those words would echo in his mind for a long time. Klavier was so close to Kristoph and yet to say those things, to break and more or less disown his own brother... Klavier almost couldn't stand it. Every night he had this dream. Dreaming of that fateful day. How long could this go on for? It had been heartbreaking, that day. Klavier, as always, put on a smile even as the reporters wanted to know what he thought of his brother's betrayal. But for a man dedicated to the truth... he'd found himself lying through his teeth, anything to not talk about it.
Finally, Klavier slid out of the bed and walked to his kitchen to get a glass of water, body feeling sticky with sweat, his blond hair clinging to his face and neck. Gulping the cold liquid down and ignoring the minor brain freeze, Klavier sat down on the kitchen stool and simply waited until the morning came.
