| − | Diavolo (ディアボロ Diaboro) was a male human born in the 20th century who was born at some point in [[1967]] as the child of a prisoner in a all-female prison. The birth was held as a mystery as his mother had been in the prison for many years and had received no visitors in that time nor were there any male guards. She herself claimed that her son had been conceived two years prior but that the man was dead. After being born, his birth was noted as being unusual as his eyes never closed or did he ever cry. It was decided that his mother could not raised him in the prison and had many years still on her sentence. Thus, it was decided to send the newborn Diavolo to his mothers home town of Sardinia to be raised by a priest. Over the years, the young man was noted to had been frank but rather timid and did not seem like a bright child. As he grew older, he resolved to become a sailor rather than a priest as his adoptive father. Around [[1984]], the young man met a woman named '''Donatella Una''' where the two embarked in a relationship with him using the name of '''Solido Naso''' as an alias when interacting with her. She was in love with him and during this time together the pair slept together with Diavolo telling numerous lies about himself which Donatella believed though he was unaware that she was pregnant with his [[Trish Una|child]] during this time. Before he departed, he made a promise to return to her one day but had no intention of meeting Donatella again. By [[1986]], he was 19 years old and his adoptive father the priest had seen him walking on the beach with the woman. The priest believed it was time for Diavolo to have his own car and began converting one of the rooms into a garage for him. Whilst digging up the floor, he discovered a woman hidden underneath the floor which turned out to be Diavolo's mother who was somehow buried alive with her mouth sown shirt. He was then found by Diavolo who killed his adoptive father and set fire to the home thus killing his mother as well. Officially, it was believed that he along with the priest and seven others were killed in the fitire. However, in reality, he had escaped in order to join an expedition that was heading towards Egypt. | + | Diavolo (ディアボロ Diaboro) was a male human born in the 20th century who was born at some point in [[1967]] as the child of a prisoner in a all-female prison.

In exchange for this knowledge, she requested some of the Stand Arrows with Diavolo reasoning that he only needed one. Thus, he traded five of them to Enyaba whilst he kept the remaining one himself where he gained a powerful Stand ability called '''King Crimson'''.

As the mysterious Boss, the syndicate developed a great deal of profit through the drug trade and Diavolo maintained his anonymity as its leader. During the [[1990]]s, a Frenchman named [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]] sought out the owner of one of the Stand Arrows and tracked the wielder to Italy leading to him battling Diavolo's henchmen. The Boss decided then to deal with the person himself and he confronted Polnareff by the edge of a cliff. Despite Jean's skill, he was outclassed by King Crimson who critically injured him and sent his opponent tumbling off the cliff edge thus seemingly killing him. |

Overview
Personality and attributes
Vinegar Doppio (ヴィネガー・ドッピオ) is Diavolo's young, innocent, and bizarre second personality. Although Doppio is an alternate personality, Diavolo takes on a completely different form when he changes into Doppio. Doppio, however, is unaware of this, and considers himself as Diavolo's most trusted subordinate. Doppio acts as a sort of disguise for Diavolo for when he interacts socially with others in the outside world. While doing so, he only reverts into Diavolo when someone finds out about his true identity, or if someone angers him. Doppio communicates with Diavolo with any number of objects (such as a frog or a young girl's ice cream cone) that, when he sees them, prompt him to make the sound "rurururu~" (るるるる~), similar to a phone ringing. Doppio is fairly innocent and a very ditzy and goofy guy. Compared to Diavolo, who's arguably as ruthless and as monstrous as Dio Brando, he's often practically harmless to anybody and is very nice and polite unless he's given orders by Diavolo to take care of a specific person or will revert to Diavolo if his identity is found out (even if the slightest hint is given that somebody has clues or an idea to his identity).
Powers and abilities
King Crimson: A light red humanoid whose face appears to have a smaller copy of itself in its forehead, perhaps to mirror Diavolo's psyche. King Crimson has the power to predict up to ten seconds into the future, and "erase time", effectively causing a time skip, where everything except itself and Diavolo is suddenly changed to be in the state they would have been a short time later (usually 3–10 seconds later). Time still flows normally for Diavolo, who can interact (or not interact, he can choose which objects to interact with) with the time-skipped objects for the amount of time that would have normally intervened (to Diavolo this appears in the form of the would-have-been intervening objects' states being superimposed on each other, in a fashion akin to Nude Descending a Staircase). The nature of the time skip is such that, for example, he predicts a bullet coming at him, and erases the time in which it would have hit him. To the viewer a bullet that would have hit Diavolo will suddenly be shifted to be on his other side as where it would be seconds later. Diavolo cannot actually interact with anything during the time King Crimson is erasing, but he can position himself to attack his enemy's most vulnerable spot for an almost certain kill. The "blood drop method" for detecting his timeskip is based on attacking his opponent's least guarded side where Diavolo is most likely to appear.
Due to familial ties, the energy of his soul was similar to that of his daughter Trish. Thus, those that could only see this soul energy could not distinguish Diavolo from Trish.
