Biography
Leone Abbacchio (Japanese: レオーネ・アバッキオ, Hepburn: Reōne Abakkio) was a male human born in the modern age in Italy. After graduating from high school, Abbacchio became a police officer with him having a sincere belief in protecting people. However, when he was stationed in his area, he came to realise that there were many contradictions in the life of the police as he came to see that the people were not grateful despite officers risking their lives for them. On some occasions, people attempted to get out of punishment for their crimes and in others they accused the officers of not doing their jobs. This was confounded even further when the criminals they put away were easily released if they had enough money. The height of these contradictions came one day to Leone when he was on patrol where he saw a man working with a prostitute where the individual claimed he was only helping the girl pay off her fathers debts. He quietly offered Abbacchio a bribe to have him ignore the incident with Leone initially conflicted over whether to accept the money or not. Ultimately, he came to consider that the streets were full of such people and that he could easily pay off a lawyer or judge to get out of jail eventually with him thus accepting the money as he reasoned he was protecting the streets this way. He continued his duties in the police until one night when he responded a report of a thief breaking into an old man's house. Leone arrived at the scene with his partner as they split up to find the thief with Abbacchio encountering the culprit who was attempting to escape through a window. The thief turned out to be the man he had met the other day who had offered him a bribe with the criminal recognising the police officer where he attempted to convince Leone to led him escape as he stated he would not cause any trouble in the future. Leone was adamant in arresting the man with the thief threatening to reveal to the police that Abbacchio had accepted a bribe. This caused Abbacchio to pause as he contemplated whether to allow the man to escape arrest or not whilst being unaware that the thief was secretly drawing out his gun. He drew his weapon and fired at which point Abbacchio's partner arrived to shoot back only to be killed by the thief's gunshot whilst the criminal was wounded. In the aftermath, Leone was punished and discharged for the police for accepting the bribe whilst he lived with the guilt that him falling into corruption by accepting the bribe had gotten his partner killed. The guilt haunted him as he lost his purpose in life as he was unable to find any happiness or other emotion. During this time, he was met by Bruno Bucciarati who asked the former police officer to join his newly formed team in the Passione crime gang. This saw him eventually gaining his own Stand ability after taking part in Polpo's test.
Abbacchio was introduced to Giorno as part of Bucciarati's gang along with Narancia, Fugo, and Mista. In an attempt at hazing Giorno, Abbacchio urinates in a tea pot and offers some to him under the pretense of friendship. However, Giorno then turns the situation around by actually seemingly gulping down his cup, surprising Abbacchio and impressing the rest of the group. After boarding the ship heading for the island of Capri in order to retrieve Polpo's hidden treasure, the team is attacked by an enemy Stand. One by one the members suddenly disappear, with only Bucciarati, Abbacchio, and Giorno left on-guard. Abbacchio, distrustful of Giorno, refuses to reveal his Stand in front of him, to Bucciarati's dismay. Seeing no other choice, Giorno sacrifices himself to not only allow Abbacchio freedom to use his power, but to also help them figure out the enemy's attack, leaving behind a fly made from Narancia's shoe that tracks where the enemy was. After him and Bucciarati jump below deck, Abbacchio decides to bring out Moody Blues, using its ability to track Narancia up to the moment he's attacked. They find his body being deflated while kept alive and being pulled into the ship. Abbacchio has Moody Blues attempt to follow where Narancia went but fails to successfully find where the enemy is. When he tries to bring his Stand back, Abbacchio is stunned to find that Moody Blues is not there despite him feeling its presence, leading him to ponder what's happening with the boat. Abbacchio, against Bucciarati's commands, forces Moody Blues to remain in a dark place. Feeling out the area, Abbacchio realizes at the last second how their enemy is attacking before Moody Blues is assaulted, causing Abbacchio to deflate and be abducted in turn. However, shortly before being taken away, he manages to convey to Bucciarati what he's figured out, using his blood and its trail to show how none of them were actually taken below the deck of the boat they're on. This allows Bucciarati to force their enemy, Mario Zucchero out into the open. Zucchero threatens to kill Abbacchio with his Soft Machine, but Bucciarati is quicker on the draw and defeats him. After kicking Zucchero's helpless body around with Fugo and Narancia, Abbacchio would still not allow Giorno to see his Stand's ability as he replays Zucchero's conversation over the radio, revealing that he had a partner that had gone ahead. When Giorno suggests that they send someone to go find the partner in Capri, Abbacchio dismisses the idea since they have no clue about the partner's appearance. However, Mista approves the idea. Giorno and Mista leave for Capri, where Mista is able to defeat Sale. With their way secure, Bucciarati is able to lead his team to the treasure. The capo Pericolo appears to take the treasure and promotes Bucciarati. However, he then immediately presents Trish Una, the Boss's daughter, and tasked them to bodyguard her against a team of rogue assassins.
Narancia tells the group that their location and mission have been leaked to said traitors. Abbacchio reprimands Giorno for assuming that the Boss would send orders immediately, only to speak too soon as Mista confirms their next course of action just as quickly afterwards. They also learn that the traitors are known as Squadra Esecuzioni. Later, Abbacchio, along with Giorno and Fugo, is sent to Pompeii by orders of the boss to extract a key that would help them get Trish to him. It is there that Fugo is attacked by la Squadra member Illuso, dragging him into the mirror world with his Stand Man in the Mirror. Fugo then activates his Stand, Purple Haze, which was separated from its user through the mirror. Abbacchio alerts Giorno to get away since Purple Haze's power could instantly kill them both. Giorno wants to aid Fugo, but Abbacchio is adamant to leaving him since they have to obtain the key, regardless of their feelings to help Fugo. Abbacchio leaves to get the key as Giorno stays, as the two separate, Illuso attacks Abbacchio by pulling him into the mirror world, but to his surprise, Abbacchio substitutes himself with Moody Blues, whom proceeds to overpower and beat the enemy Stand. Before he is completely defeated, Illuso pushes half of Moody Blues out and pulls half of Abbacchio in, preventing both him and his Stand from attacking. In a desperation move, Abbacchio grabs the key, cuts off his own hand, and uses Moody Blues to rewind its corresponding hand in the real world's movements back to where Giorno is. Though accepting that the mission had cost both his own and Fugo's lives, Abbacchio is soon taken aback when Illuso turns the corner only to see Giorno merely looking at the key instead of escaping with it. Illuso taunts Abbacchio with how incompetent the new member of Team Bucciarati is, causing Abbacchio to furiously scream at Giorno to get away. When Illuso attacks Giorno and pulls him into the mirror world, both Abbacchio and he are shocked to see that Giorno had purposefully infected himself with Purple Haze's virus and was waiting for Illuso to attack him in order to spread it. After Illuso is defeated by the joint efforts of Giorno and Fugo, Fugo openly salutes Giorno for his efforts. Giorno, however, tells Fugo to salute Abbacchio for his own efforts. Abbacchio, around the corner, overhears this and loses consciousness after realizing that Giorno's plan was the best course of action, promising himself to beat him up when he is able to use both of his hands again. Bucciarati later reattaches Abbacchio's hand using Sticky Fingers' zipper.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Leone Abbacchio was a tall, lean man with an austere, almost regal presence that contrasted sharply with his weary demeanor. His long, lavender-colored hair framed his pale, stern face, and his narrow violet eyes conveyed a perpetual sense of fatigue and scrutiny. He typically wore a long, dark coat over a low-cut bodysuit adorned with a distinctive crisscross pattern.
Deeply rooted in his past failures as a police officer, Leone Abbacchio operated with a guarded, cynical pragmatism that manifested as an intense difficulty in trusting anyone outside his immediate circle. This pervasive sense of suspicion defined his early interactions with Giorno Giovanna, whom he treated with open hostility and blatant disdain because he viewed the newcomer's idealism as a liability to the team's survival. He cultivated a cold, abrasive exterior as a defensive mechanism, preferring the safety of rigid discipline and absolute loyalty to Bruno Bucciarati over the unpredictability of hope or moral grandstanding. This aspect of his personality meant that he rarely offered his respect freely; instead, he demanded that others prove their resolve through action rather than words, often masking his own deep-seated self-loathing behind a mask of professional detachment. Even when he worked alongside his comrades, he remained a solitary figure at heart, driven by a desperate need to find a purpose that could justify his existence after his previous life had collapsed into disgrace and guilt.
Powers and abilities
Originally, Leone was an ordinary human until he joined Passione where he took part in Polpo's test thus having him pierced by the Arrow and giving him his Stand power. As such, he had all the basic traits of a human being, though his physical and mental resilience were far above average due to years of police training and combat experience.
