This wiki is currently undergoing a major overhaul, so content may be disorganized! Sorry for any inconvenience! He is the older twin brother of Nina Fortner , formerly known as Anna Liebert.
Johan has spent portions of his life in different locations under different aliases, and possesses extraordinary levels of charisma and intelligence. He tends to use his gifts to cruelly manipulate and corrupt others, often with no apparent motive other than to cause chaos and suffering. Johan has short, middle-parted platinum blond hair, light blue eyes, and pale skin.
He is often described as being exceptionally handsome and beautiful. His slender build and delicate facial features allow him to easily pass as a woman, and he takes advantage of this several times throughout the story. On the surface, Johan is a polite, charismatic, and compassionate yet somewhat aloof young man who possesses a myriad of favorable traits and can easily overwhelm individuals with his seemingly flawless nature, as seen with Hans Georg Schuwald , who describes him as being not of this world.
With such skill in creating this sense of perfection and pureness, Johan hides his true motives with ease. Johan often shows a complete disregard for life by pointing to his forehead, inviting Kenzo Tenma to shoot him.
Within this contrived exterior, however, Johan callously delivers destruction and suffering to those who happen to fall prey to his schemes. Even before his tenure at Kinderheim , Johan still exhibited psychopathic tendencies. For example, most of his murders, both in childhood and adulthood, have been premeditated and calculated. Many of Johan's beliefs run consistent with nihilism, as he does not see any meaning to life. He claims, "Most of this universe is 'death' anyway," and that to the universe, "most lives are just specks in a corner of the earth, gone in a flash".
