Here we have Klavier’s profiles in the court record – also a very interesting view on how Apollo sees Klavier, in his own words.

The first two are from Turnabout Corner. The first one is gained when you first bump into him at the crime scene, and he allows you access. The second is obtained after you talk to Phoenix Wright about the ‘prince’ Trucy is going on about. 

Note that in both of these, he’s first and foremost described as ‘spitting image of Mr. Gavin.’ Something that brings up a lot of contention in Apollo’s emotions, I’m sure. Also, probably doesn’t give a lot of immediate trust, since Apollo’s likely judging the guy by his brother’s actions at first, as well as Klavier’s own flighty nature.

The last one is shown from Turnabout Serenade onwards. So Apollo’s views on Klavier change from anywhere between some point during the Wocky Kitaki trial (June 16-17), and the concert (July 7th). And during that concert, there are lines where Apollo states that Klavier ‘…was kinda cool. And I’m kind of envious. Not that I’d admit it to Trucy.’ (Internal monologue)

It’s an interesting and rather heartwarming progression of Apollo warming up to Klavier, starting to see him as his own person, and starting to respect him and like him for who he is and the talents he has, even if he’s not willing to admit such things to anyone else. 

And that last bit, I think… is actually beneficial. Klavier already has enough people fawning over him – it’s good to have someone who can see that he’s cool, but won’t go easy on him just because of that.
