Sinful City (series)/Giovanni Baldini

"I'm a bad guy. Got no shame in admitting it. But I'm the bad guy that keeps all the other bad guys in check."

- Giovanni Describing Himself

Giovanni Baldini is one of the main characters of the series Sinful City, along with Satsuki Saito and his primary rival U.S.A. Initially debuting as a villain, he would become a far more complex character going forward. In the second game forward, he becomes the leader of the Baldini Mob and uses his new influence to keep other criminals from doing things he believes crosses the line. All members of the Baldini family have the ability to channel their emotions into magical energy, with Giovanni specializing in the manipulation of his own malice.
