Story
D'Arby is a professional gambler and skilled cheater. He and his younger brother Terence T. D'Arby both earned their lives only with gambling. He is hired by Dio to defeat Jotaro Kujo and his group. When they arrive at Egypt, looking for Dio's Mansion, he tricks them into gambling with him, in exchange for information. He throws two pieces of meat, to bet which one a cat in the wall would get first. Jean Pierre Polnareff accepts his challenge, but loses, D'Arby then revals his stand, who takes Polnareff's soul and turn it into a poker chip. He then reveals that the cat was actually his, angering them all. Joseph Joestar then puts a cup into the table and fills it with wine to the edge. The game this time would be that they had to drop coins into the cup, and the one who spilled the wine out loses. D'Arby inspects the cup, then starts the game by dropping five coins at once. Joseph cheats, using a piece of cotton hidden in his finger to drip more wine into the glass, but he ends losing and his soul is taken. Jotaro discovers that D'Arby had put a little pice of chocolate in the cup prior to the start of the game, tilting the cup a little. When he switch his place, the sun melts the chocolate, allowing him to put one more coin. Jotaro decides to challenge D'Arby to a poker game. As D'Arby starts dealing the cards, Jotaro breaks his finger, because D'Arby was cheating by dealing him the second card of the deck. Avdol then asks a nearby boy to deal for them. With his card on the table, Jotaro tricks D'Arby into thinking he was switching his cards with his stand Star Platinum. Although D'Arby was confident, because the boy was actually his servant, Jotaro starts raising the bets, with his friends souls and even his mother's soul, asking for D'Arby to bet on information about Dio. D'Arby falls for the bluff and admits defeat, releasing all the souls he had captured and becoming crazy.

Powers
D'Arby's stand, Osiris, gives him the power to take other's souls, and turn them into poker chips. He could do this normally, but because he thinks this is too boring, he prefers to take souls by gambling for them, so he set his stand to take over a soul only when his opponent admits defeat. His stand also gives him a high sense of touch, enabling him to know the page of a book or the number of a card only by touching it. Aside from that, D'Arby is very skilled at cheating, doing it even before the game starts.
