Records of the Vatican's personal mercenary groups, written in the archives of Cardinal Mcdonald's library:

I am afraid that brother Giovanni has some particular problems with his adaptation to the training that he has been given, specifically in the field of close-quarters combat, although the effects of cyberpsychosis have not been present within him according to all scans that have been conducted on him. He is a particularly interesting one, showing extreme adaptability to the FREAK Sandevistan that has been made by the Vatican artificers, being able to continuously use it for extended periods of time, although there are some behavioral issues present within him, such as a disposition towards rebellion against authority and violence, he was even able to harm an instructor that was training him in close-quarters combat, leading to him being being punished via beating for thirty minutes. What he shows however is an extreme amount of resilience, being able to pass the various tests levied against him with flying colors, even being able to handle professional mercenaries at just the age of fourteen. Although I have some concerns over his particularly violent nature and skillful disposition, as he often harms others with increasing frequency as of late, attracting the attention of the other Cardinals, as they wish to see what he is capable of, and I do not wish to burden him with the attention of the other Cardinals.

He has extreme adaptability when it comes to cyberware, warrenting the attention of the artificers of the Vatican, as they see an opportunity that cannot be wasted in him, and I must admit, I am curious what exactly can push him to the limit in terms of cyberpsychosis so that we may see what would truly push him over the edge. I will say that he is someone that shows quite a bit of interest in cyberware, so it would not exactly be a one-sided deal for him to be given the best of the best that the Vatican can create and buy from mega-corporations, although I don't know exactly what the other Cardinals think of the prospect of modifying one of God's children, it is still something to consider in these trying times for Christendom, as our faith wanes, so does the hope for the world, as it has been taken over by malevolent forces that wish to snuff out the flame of Christ, but know this, my friends, this child will surely bring us safety, perhaps he shall even be ordained as a saint in the future.

Excerpts from Giovanni's personal diary: 

"It seems as if there is a disturbance within the hall of the Vatican today, the priests seem worried at the very sight of me, as if they are viewing a monster, perhaps it is the blood that covers me constantly, or the unnatural implants given to me by the artificers, but it matters not, for those foolish sheep do not know the glory of violence, what it truly means to live in God's light, but they will soon know, as I have prepared my salvation from this place, perhaps I will escape to one of the wretched lands of Europe, or perhaps America will call my name. It matters not, for the Lord will show me the path that is right for me, and these fools that doubt me will say what true power is, their doubts cleansed in the flame of ambition that swells from within my heart, and perhaps, just maybe, I can find something resembling peace in the lands that I will flee in." - 23rd entry

"The priests say that my tendencies are a bit too much, but they said that my writing skills are impressive for my age, so that's a good thing, I suppose. They praised me for the results of my written exams, saying that I showed great intellect and was blessed with something truly amazing by the Lord's light. They say that the artificers wish to see me, as I show "great potential in terms of cyberware adaptability", whatever that's supposed to mean. Anyway, I am suppose to head over to Cardinal Mcdonald's room for instructions on what to do next, as this is my first entry into the personal diary that he gifted me for my birthday, something that I truly appreciate from him. Hopefully things will calm down when I am done with my training, as the priests have been frantic to cover up something that I don't know about, probably a leak of information that got out due to some mole among us. Anyway, I suppose this the end of the first entry, I hope things become better." - 1st entry

"I see blood, everywhere, all around me, bodies are splayed out like the carcasses of animals that have been hunted by wolves. So this is what it is like. Why would the Lord allow such a thing? That is the question that always seems to permeate throughout my mind, even if I try to snuff it out, it still comes back even stronger, the doubt within my heart is surely heretical. What would the Cardinal think of me? I don't even know anymore, my hands are shaking, and I am barely even able to write this entry into my diary. Perhaps it is for the best that I cannot express my thoughts even further than this, for surely I may go mad from these revelations. Night City, that is the place that I have been trapped in. It is a place of decadence and material greed, nothing that should be admired, but still, there are opportunities here that cannot be ignored, such as the many contracts that permeate throughout the city. Perhaps I will be able to claim something of a name for myself in this wretched hive of scum and villainy." - 30th entry

Comments from an unknown prospector:

It seems the kid has been through a lot, not exactly unusual in this vile city, but still, from what I can tell from these recovered excerpts, he is starting to doubt his faith in God, something truly tragic in this time of materialism and greed, but still, I suppose its best for him to realize the harshness of the world before he can truly delve into the depths of Night City. This city is a cruel place after all, so it is only natural that someone of his disposition would begin to doubt the things that they've believed in for so long. From what I can tell from these excerpts, he's probably somewhere in Night City doing Solo work by himself, and from what I've gathered on the kid, he's gathered quite the reputation around these parts, as someone that is ruthless to anyone in the boundaries of the city. Records say he's joined a mercenary group as well, a group of rag-tag individuals I suppose.

If I'm piecing the excerpts that I have correctly, he was some sort of child supersoldier of the Vatican before coming to Night City, serving them loyally like a dog, although with some hiccups here and there. He seems to have relations to some Cardinal that from what I can tell is a wealthy investor in many companies around the world, being one of the richest men on Europe, being one of the last bastions for the Catholic faith left on the planet. Curious, the kid seems to have an interesting relationship with the good Cardinal, like a father-son relationship from what I can tell, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. It seems that he received many cyberware implants in his time in the Vatican, particularly something called a "FREAK Sandevistan", something that I assume is a modified version of the Sandevistan that so many companies have developed. 

How he came to Night City is a mystery to me, so from I can tell from the entries on the diary, he somehow ferried his way to California in some sort of cargo ship, or at least, I'm guessing its a cargo ship, there isn't really much info on what he got on as he was travelling to America. Many things this kid is, and sane doesn't seem to be one of them, despite showing extreme adaptability to cyberware, he seems to show signs of derangement in some of his diaries, not exactly from cyberpsychosis, but more from the trauma that he has endured in Night City. He seems to have a particular interest in "walks" of some kind, its what he calls his hunts as a Solo, and he shows signs of anti-social behavior, such as hunting down criminals for the simple sake of killing and maiming them, this piece of information I got not from his diary, but from several reports of dozens of dead bodies being spotted across Night City, their figures mutilated, often having their weapons shoved into their bodies. Overall, I think something is seriously wrong with the kid, with the possibility of cyberpsychosis and trauma from his experiences within Night City being the cause of his symptoms, and from what I can tell, the Vatican is not looking for him, as he was able to somehow fake his death in an operation that they sent him.

Excerpts from Giovanni's personal diary:

"It seems that my "walks" have gathered the attention of the denizens of this hive. It is irrelevant to my goals, and I do not see them as a threat, however something interesting has been given to me: an invitation to some sort of mercenary group that seems to pay quite well. I am considering joining them, if only for the possibility of getting a good pay in this wretched city and it seems that they are a particularly interesting bunch, having a mixed bag of backgrounds of individuals. They seem to be strong, just as I wish for my allies to be. My interest in the group has been increasing over the days that I have pondered joining them, a sign that my interest is growing stronger and stronger every moment that I think about it. So far, the Vatican has not spotted my existence just yet, and I do not expect them to find me just yet. The faking of my death on the first operation they sent me must have shocked them, although I was not a particularly excellent soldier, it still must have hit them quite hard that one of their precious agents were lost in an operation." - 40th entry

"I have officially decided to join the group that has invited me into their ranks. Hopefully I do not see anymore troublesome individuals within the halls of this organization, but so far, the people within the organization seem to be friendly enough, not something that I should extensively worry about. Although I do think that their ranks could be bolstered with more firepower, hence why I am joining them for the sake of helping them in their endeavors. The people within the ranks of the group seem to be decent enough, although they do show their quirks and kinks at times. I do not see them as much of threat to my safety, however there are some that are particularly powerful, giving me worry that in the future we will come into conflict, although such worries I think are unfounded, as I possess a neutral reputation with them, so it is not really a worry for me. In terms of the personalities of the crew, they are decent people, having more than enough virtue for me to somewhat appreciate their existence, so it is not so worrisome that they will commit acts that are deplorable and require punishment on my part.
