Biography
Hol Horse (Japanese: ホル・ホース, Hepburn: Horu Hōsu) was a male human who came to operate in the late 1980's where at some point he came to manifest a Stand and served as a mercenary where he worked for DIO.
He later arrived at Calcutta on elephant-back with Nena, a young girl whose marriage proposal he turns down while claiming to be thinking of her best interests. He meets with J. Geil and the two decide to kill Jean Pierre Polnareff while he is separated from the Joestar Group. The following day, Hol Horse confronts Polnareff with his Emperor Stand while J. Geil supports him through his Hanged Man. When Muhammad Avdol intervenes to save Polnareff, Hol Horse severely injures Avdol, believing him to be dead from the headshot he administered. After separating from J.Geil and the protagonists, Hol Horse catches up to Polnareff and Noriaki Kakyoin and learns that they had already killed J. Geil. Knowing he could not handle the two Stand users alone, Hol Horse flees before he's intercepted by Jotaro Kujo and Joseph Joestar. Nena's interference, however, gives him a chance to escape, with the Joestar Group deciding to let him go.
Afterwards, he appeared before Enya the Hag during her attempt on the Joestar Group's lives and is attacked by her as she considered him equally responsible for the death of her son, J. Geil. While seemingly killed by Enya's Stand, Hol Horse played dead until he was able to escape via the Joestar Group's vehicle, vowing to get his revenge later. Later, while reporting to DIO on Alessi's and Mariah's defeat, he tries to attack the vampire when questioned on why he is not fighting the Joestar group. He is cowed by DIO's power and, broken, swears eternal loyalty to DIO and decides to attack the Joestar group with a new partner.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Hol Horse had an above-average height and medium build. At his back, he has light, neck-length hair. He had dimples in his cheeks and a cleft chin.
On the surface, he seemed to be a confident and smooth-talking with women who acted like a stereotypical movie gunslinger.
Despite his arrogance, Hol Horse preferred to see himself as a "No.2 kind of guy" rather than a "No.1 kind of guy". This stemmed from the fact that he was aware of how weak his Stand was when compared to the others.
While originally seen working with J. Geil, he later becomes partners with Boingo.
Powers and abilities
Hol Horse was a human who came to be a Stand (スタンド Sutando) wielder where he came to wield the Emperor (エンペラー（皇帝） Enperā) that took the form of a revolver. When fired, the Emperor could control the flight of a bullet allowing Hol Horse a remarkable level of accuracy. With this power, he could even cause bullets to turn mid-air to strike his target. Despite his accuracy, he was individually quite weak and required a partner to serve as his backup to protect him from counterattacks.
