Diavolo

Lore & Background

Diavolo is the anonymous boss of Passione. He assigns Team Bucciarati the task of escorting his daughter, Trish Una, to him safely. However, Bucciarati realizes the boss intends to kill Trish to protect his own identity. Bucciarati rescues Trish, becoming mortally wounded in the process. Later, at Sardinia, Team Bucciarati inadvertently interrupts Risotto Nero (the last surviving member of La Squadra) from assassinating the boss's alternate personality, Vinegar Doppio. Doppio kills Leone Abbacchio, but Abbacchio is able to record the boss's face before dying. Bucciarati's group is then contacted by a third party, who reveals the boss's name to be Diavolo. In Rome, Doppio exploits Bucciarati's fading senses to reach the informant first, revealing him to be Jean Pierre Polnareff. Doppio fatally wounds Polnareff. The boss's true personality, Diavolo, uses his Stand King Crimson to kill Narancia Ghirga. In a final battle, Giorno Giovanna is stabbed with the Arrow and evolves his Stand into Gold Experience Requiem, easily overpowering King Crimson and condemning Diavolo to an infinite death loop.
