Psychological Description:
Giovanni is quiet and reserved, but often enjoys creating chaos in situations - usually to assist with drawing attention away from himself while he is stealing. Due to his past, he is cautious (often paranoid), and slightly mentally unstable. Seeing an ouroboros often causes paranoia and triggers a twitch in his left eye.

Current Strength Level: 15
Potential Strength Level: 18
Channeler Experience: New
Biography:
Born October 3, 2019, in Rome, Italy
Real Name: Francesco Moretti
Giovanni's parents were members of the Atharim, and as a result he and his brothers were taught about the Atharim from a young age and were expected to join their ranks eventually. Giovanni, back then was named Francesco Moretti, was in training to become an assassin. Primarily, he learned how to stay hidden in the shadows and how to kill without being seen. He worked primarily with blades, although he did have some knowledge of firearms.
One day when he was 23, Giovanni was doing work on the roof of his parents house. He fell off the roof and unknowingly channeled for the first time. He was able to wrap himself in a shield of air, protecting himself. He was unhurt, but ten days later, he acquired the channeling sickness.
He struggled with the sickness for a few months before finally being hospitalized. When he realized what had happened, he knew the Atharim would be looking for him. Upon release from the hospital, he attempted to flee, but was met with resistance. The Atharim had sent his older brother and his nephew to retrieve him. Giovanni was backed into a corner and knew that capture would lead to his eventual death. Afraid he would be killed, Giovanni channeled, but for the first time, he was aware of his channeling. He channeled lightning that struck his brother, killing him. Stray bolts hit his nephew knocking him unconscious. Giovanni took the opportunity to flee, eventually making his way to Venice.
Giovanni knew the Atharim, and most likely his nephew, would come seeking him, so he had to blend in. What little money he had, he used to dye his hair and buy clothing that fit in with local customs. To get food and money, he used his talents of stealth to steal. He stole only little amounts, careful not to draw any attention. Eventually, he stole enough to bribe a civil worker to create a false identity. If you look in the records of Venice, Italy, you will find that on March, 10, 2019, Giovanni Cavelli was born.
With that, Giovanni started a new life. He kept his hair dyed and kept on the move most of the time. The encounter with his brother had unhinged him a bit, and as a result he often tried to create chaos to amuse himself or help with thieving. He primarily stole at night, but had also become more brave and would pickpocket during the day as he got farther away from Rome. The most prevalent part of his mental instability was paranoia that he was being followed. It would usually manifest itself if he saw an ouroboros.
As a child, it was ingrained in him that channeling was an abomination, as a result, he never tried to channel or seek anyone to train him or to remove his block (he must be afraid to channel). He just kept traveling, always worried that his vengeful nephew and the Atharim would find him.
By chance or by fate, in the year 2045, Giovanni arrived in Moscow.

The Strong and the Weak
Giovanni encounters Armande. Unbeknownst to Giovanni, Armande is the Regus of the Atharim. While searching for signs of cult activity in the underground tunnels, the duo come across a Dreykan. Giovanni is injured and the Naga, Akantha, defeats if. Feeling guilt for his plans to use people, Giovanni's mind snaps and develops multiple personalites - Ordine - his good self that tries to push him to become a better person and do good things, and Caos - a dark entity that pushes him towards evil. Although both are manifestations of his own thoughts, Giovanni perceives them as separate people.
