01Basic information
02Appearance
Javier is not drawn in the novel's illustrations so his normal appearance is unknown. However, he disguises himself with makeup and clown clothes such as a red nose and a puffy wig when he invades the dreams of his victims.↗
03Personality
Javier is an overconfident yet depressed teenager. He is sadistic as he enjoys psychologically torturing random strangers in their dreams and even purchases clown clothes and makeup to make their nightmares scarier. Despite aspiring to be a writer, Tsukumojuku Kato implies that Javier doesn't have what it takes, as when Tsukumojuku, George Joestar, and the police had burst into Javier's house, they found notebooks filled with locked room tricks but no actual novels. He is also narcissistic as he would talk quite a bit about himself in the dreams of his victims, believing that they wouldn't remember anything when they woke up.↗↗

SPOILERS
Background
Javier would comfort Leonora when his father, Juan Rovira Cortes would make her cry. Whenever Javier slept, he would be trapped in a locked room with his mother. Javier's desire to escape from his flesh while he was in that locked room with her manifested into letting him sleep and escape through dreams. At some point, Javier purchases a clown disguise to manipulate others.↗
JORGE JOESTAR
Wearing his clown disguise, Javier enters the dreams of vulnerable victims, works his way into their hearts, and draws out their darkest emotions. He would first find someone his victim hated or had trouble getting along with, and then manipulate his victim to blame all their negative emotions on that person. He would twist their fears to make the victim think that person was the source of all their problems.↗
He would get an unhealthy amount of sleep, as he was also sleeping during the day and entering the daydreams of his victims. Javier ends up being caught by the police when he attempts to target Penelope de la Rosa, who has a pathological fear of clowns. Penelope clearly remembers her dreams but nobody believes her aside from Tsukumojuku and George. They bring up the dreams to Javier's other victims and they end up remembering him.↗
Since they couldn't prove the ability to enter dreams in court, the Spanish police on La Palma beat Javier to death with their batons and sink his body in the bottom of the sea at night. George and Tsukumojuku were powerless to stop them and Leonora didn't even try. If stories spread about Leonora's son being a witch because of his mysterious powers, the church would end up being involved, and Leonora's entire family would be persecuted.↗↗
