Template:Character Jovani is a character in Twilight Princess.[1]
Biography
Jovani is a man who sold his soul to the Imp Poes for untold riches; however, they also changed him into a golden statue with gems for eyes and his Cat, Gengle, fused to his head. He now values his humanity over his wealth and asks Link to retrieve his shattered soul.[2] When Wolf Link visits him for the first time, he learns how to defeat the Imp Poes. Jovani then tells him that if he gets 20 Poe Souls or more, he will get a reward.[3]
When Link gets 20 Poe Souls, Jovani gives him a Bottle filled with Great Fairy's Tears.[4] Jovani and Gengle also recover their mobility, however, Jovani stays golden.[5] In Twilight Princess HD, Jovani also gives Link the Ghost Lantern.[6]
When Link gets 60 Poe Souls, Jovani's curse is lifted and Gengle gives Link 200 Rupees each time he visits him.[7][8]
Afterwards, Jovani can be found in Telma's Bar crying because his girlfriend had found another man.[9] His girlfriend is seemingly now involved with a castle Guard she was questioning earlier,[10] and believes Jovani was inside the bar the whole time he was missing.[11]
According to the Prima Games guide, Jovani is around 40 years old.[12]
