Look, I don't actually believe you hired me because you saw my potential or something like that. But I want to believe that you found the hope in potentialities because of me.

–Johann, Intervallo V: LCB Regular Check-up


Johann is a former employee of Lobotomy Corporation, who worked alongside Hohenheim as his right-hand man.

Appearance

Johann has long orange hair that gradually becomes black towards the ends, parted down the middle, and orange eyes. He wears a long black jacket with indigo lining and lapels. On his right arm, the jacket features three stripes of the same indigo color, while he wears a Lobotomy Corporation Control Team armband on his left arm. Beneath his overcoat is a black suit jacket that features blue lapels, overtop a white suit and black tie.

Personality

Johann is a very casual person, who remains grateful towards Hohenheim due to the latter being one to scout him from the Backstreets. Due to his casual disposition, he was able to cover Hohenheim's logical blind spots, allowing the Department to secure several Department of the Year awards. Despite his lax personality, he would ultimately choose to sacrifice himself so Hohenheim could escape the Branch they presided in.

Story

Prior to Limbus Company

Scouted from the Backstreets by Hohenheim, Johann would come to thank the scientist one day, and extend the offer to become the man's right-hand man, in hopes of capitalizing on his 'potentiality'. While Hohenheim reluctantly agrees to the offer initially, he would come to regard Johann and the others he worked alongside as close friends. The Department would come to great success with the two working together.

At the completion of the Seed of Light project, Lobotomy Corporation Branches began their burial protocol. Johann would be among the strugglers trying to escape, though he would make Hohenheim take the final escape pod elevator to the surface. He would admit he knew Hohenheim never believed in his potential, though still told him to rise to the surface. When questioned what would become of him, he simply mentions a 'next time', before Hohenheim makes it to the surface of the buried Branch.

It is mentioned Hohenheim would hire new members of the LCE from people within the Backstreets, likely done in memory of Johann.

Intervallo V: LCB Regular Check-up

In Hohenheim's Fathoms, a repressed memory of Johann would come to surface, censored by the Distorted Hohenheim. Recounting the two's past, Johann would become uncensored as Hohenheim is pushed to suppression, allowing him to return to his natural state.

Trivia

  • Johann takes his name from the German itinerant alchemist Faust, or Johann Georg Faust, who was active in Europe in the first half of the 16th Century, similarly to the fellow alchemist Paracelsus. After his death, Faust became the basis for the literary Faust's character in multiple adaptations, including Goethe's.
  • Johann's Story Log Portrait visibly features a yellow lapel, different from his in-game sprite using an indigo lapel.
    • The suit with the yellow lapel resembles the Hornet E.G.O Suit originating from Queen Bee, an Abnormality from Lobotomy Corporation. This may suggest that the suit his in-game sprite wears originates from an Abnormality related to Queen Bee.
