Giovanni Potage is one of the main characters in the Epithet Erased web-series.
He's a (newly promoted) Captain in the criminal organization known as the Banzai Blasters, who broke into the Sweet Jazz City Museum with no real goal besides "steal artifacts".
Physical Appearance
Giovanni is a tall lanky man with white skin and pink hair. Giovanni wears a yellow suit with white boots and a red cape, which is his Banzai Blaster Captain's uniform.
Personality
Giovanni Potage is a very ambitious 19-year-old troublemaker who loves baseballs, robots and anything edgy (he likes knitting too, but that's a secret). He also dreams of one day becoming THE GREATEST SUPERVILLAIN OF ALL TIME!
Giovanni usually tries to look cool and menacing (when it really just comes off as pathetic), this was shown in "Quiet in the Museum!", when he attempts to knock over a potted plant to prove that he is a "Certified Bad Dude™" and fails.
Despite being one of the "bad guys" he seems to care deeply about each and every one of his minions.

Relationships
Molly Blyndeff
Sylvester Ashling
Giovanni and Sylvie got off to a bad start and got worse from there. His tolerance levels for Sylvie hit rock bottom after he used Nightmare Fuel on Molly, which surrounded them with fire and terrified Molly so much she started crying. After that, Giovanni's prime instinct when it came to Sylvie was to protect Molly from him and he wanted nothing more than to knock Sylvie on his backside. After defeating him in battle, he took delight in rubbing it in Sylvie's face but did not appreciate the remarks he made towards him and Molly, to say the least. He wanted to hit him with his Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction and if it wasn't for Molly's kindness and wisdom, he would have done just that. He reluctantly agrees to let Sylvie join the Banzai Blasters but only because he sees Molly is right about them needing to team up if they want to defeat Mera. Only to be irritated by Sylvie even further when he outright refuses to do such a thing, laughs at the idea and scoffs at Giovanni for assuming he would follow him because, in his words, Giovanni is weaker than he is. They team up all the same, though albeit, very reluctantly. Giovanni and Sylvie's alliance is an unstable one as they dislike each other a great deal and have absolutely no respect for each other whatsoever. With Giovanni mocking and berating Sylvie at every opportunity and Sylvie getting more and more irritated with him as each moment passes. Giovanni is likely holding a grudge against Sylvie. Still angry with him for attacking him and Molly and scaring Molly to the point of tears. If so, he likely won't let it go until he hears Sylvie apologise for his actions.
