Diavolo is the main antagonist of the fifth arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Vento Aureo. He is the secretive, mysterious boss of the Italian mafia Passione. He rediscovered the Stand arrows, which he used to create Stand users in Passione. Due to this, he is responsible for the spread of Stand users around the world, making him one of the most influential villains in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He has a split personality, Vinegar Doppio, which he takes advantage of as his most trusted subordinate.

Biography

Much of Diavolo's origins and past is left in mystery. He was supernaturally born in an all-female prison in Italy in the summer of 1967 to a two year pregnancy, with no possible subjects for a father within the prison. In the anime, his eyes are shown to flash red as a baby. As his mother still had several years left in prison, Diavolo was adopted by a priest and moved to Sardinia, where he would grow up. The exact cause of his split personality is uncertain, although Jean Pierre Polnareff theorizes Diavolo may have been abused or gone through a traumatic experience as a child, which caused him to develop his split personality.

When Diavolo was 17-19 years old, he met and had a relationship with a girl named Donatella Una. He presented himself to her as "Solido Naso", showing an obsession with erasing his past and identity even before he was the boss of Passione. Diavolo unknowingly had a daughter with Donatella, named Trish Una.

One day, the priest who raised him found Diavolo's biological mother mysteriously hidden under the floor with her mouth and eyes sewn shut. Later, a fire would start and kill several people with the priest and Diavolo himself listed as deaths. Diavolo is shown to have directly killed the priest himself in the anime. It is implied Diavolo started the fire himself to fake his death.

Diavolo would then, for reasons unknown, join an excavation in Egypt. He would there discover a box with six arrows, which intrigued him due to the power they gave of to him. He would take the arrows to a witch named Enya Geil which he sold five of the six arrows to. Enya would later introduce the arrows to people such as DIO and Yoshihiro Kira, which would cause the spread and increase of Stand users around the world.

Diavolo would then found Passione and use his remaining arrow to create Stand users within his own organization, most likely creating his own Stand King Crimson with the arrow as well.
