->''"[[IAmSong I am Hol Horse, a pistol user!]] My card is the Emperor, and I'm second in a pair! With another, I shine! But with a kid... will I be alright?"''

An ambitious travelling gunslinger mercenary of DIO's, who makes a point of always working with others. He's initially partnered with J. Geil, but later teams up with Boingo. He is named after Music/DarylHallAndJohnOates.

His Stand, Emperor, manifests itself as a large ornate revolver. It can shoot bullets. Bullets which [[ImprobableAimingSkills he can actually direct in flight]] with both [[BottomlessMagazines unlimited ammunition]] and very little recoil; but thanks to being a close-range Stand, have a somewhat limited effective range for a firearm.
\\
\\
He is one of the main characters of the 2021 SpinOff manga series ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak''.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the anime/manga, he's a conniving, near-completely incompetent and shameless coward who, beneath his bluster, often ends up being far more amusing than he is threatening. In his video game appearances -- especially in ''Heritage for the Future'' -- however, he's much stronger, and the true potential of his [[ImprobableAimingSkills Emperor]] Stand is played for all it's worth; being able to not only actually land his trick shots, but is a master of keep away, medium-to-ranged combat, and varying setups for his powerful Supers, even alongside [[TagAlongKid Boingo]].
** This also happens in a downplayed form in his OVA appearances. Much like Forever before him, Hol Horse's more cowardly and wacky aspects are greatly toned down, making him come off as more threatening and pragmatic. He also actually ''does'' fire at DIO instead of simply threatening to do so, actively tries to fight Enya after she's already stabbed him through the wrist with scissors (also [[{{Determinator}} forcing himself back into consciousness despite being heavily wounded]] to warn Polnareff about her), and only tries to cut and run after reaching J. Geil too late and witnessing his death as it happens.
* AdaptationalJobChange: In ''Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak'', Hol Horse has since retired from mercenary work and become a private detective in the years following DIO's death. In fact, him tracking down [[Characters/JojosBizarreAdventureSpinoffs a lost parrot]] as part of a job for an old woman is what gets him involved in the story.
* AdaptationDyeJob: His Emperor is colored [[BlingBlingBANG gold and white]] instead of silver and black in the OVA.
* AffablyEvil: For a sly, greedy mercenary who swears by [[CombatPragmatist fighting dirty]] and [[DirtyCoward fleeing the minute things start going wrong]], Hol Horse can be surprisingly polite when he wants to be. After kidnapping Boingo and [[PintSizedKid smuggling him through airport customs in a suitcase]], he apologizes to him for doing so, tries to give him some reassurance, doesn't get mad when Boingo throws up on him, leaves him a wallet full of money so he could return home should something happen to either of them, and the two [[IntergenerationalFriendship outright call each other friends]] in ''Heritage for the Future''. And that's not even ''getting'' to the man's full-on memetic [[TheCasanova insistence on always being kind to women]].
** In the OVA, Hol Horse is also seen [[PetTheDog generously paying a local beggar]] to direct Polnareff to a secluded street on the town outskirts should he see him -- where he waits to assassinate him -- with the old man even calling him "kind sir" as he does.
* AgeLift: Implied in the OVA, where Hol Horse appears to be older than he's usually depicted; having paler hair, a deeper and less brisk voice than his anime incarnation, and a more rugged face that makes him look like he's in his late 30s-early 40s than his usual late 20s-early 30s looks. Not only that, but he also refers to himself as "an ol' cowboy" when he meets up with Nena on the bridge.
* AlliterativeName: '''H'''ol '''H'''orse.
* AmericansAreCowboys: Fills the role as the first American antagonist in the series, and one who styles himself on an old west-style gunslinger with a revolver-like Stand.
* AteHisGun: Enya forces him to do this. She wounds his hand with a pair of shears, then causes a hole to form and takes control of him with Justice. Hol Horse summons Emperor, but Enya [[MurderBySuicide puppeteers his hand to turn the weapon on him and fire it in his face]]. Ultimately {{subverted|trope}} when he realizes what she's about to do and makes his Stand dispel; however, while the ''bullet'' vanishes, the ''discharge force'' still hits him and knocks him out cold and across the room, making Enya think he's been killed. Then Hol Horse wakes up and warns Jotaro (Polnareff in the OVA) what's going on, fully exposing Enya's guise after he was catching on.
* BadassBiker: In the [=OVAs=], he trades in all the animals he rode for [[https://youtu.be/dgvYUXjvfIs?t=455 a kickass vintage motorbike.]] Not only does it make a good means of getaway -- as he demonstrates when he gets on and flees in the space of only a few seconds when Nena distracts the heroes -- but it also works from a practical standpoint in how it provides lots of reflective metal surfaces for Hanged Man to hide and travel with him in.
* BadassLongcoat: Come ''Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak'', Hol Horse can frequently be seen wearing a cool-looking duster coat over his previous outfit, further adding to his Old West Gunslinger look.
* BaritoneOfStrength: While Creator/HidenobuKiuchi gives him a husky tenor voice, Imari Williams in the English dub gives Hol Horse an extremely deep voice, complementing his competence in his first appearance. Though, the "strength" part falls flat as the series continues and his cowardice is fully shown, despite retaining his baritone in the dub.
* BizarreAndImprobableBallistics: Because Emperor's bullets are also part of the Stand, Hol Horse can alter its trajectory in improbable ways, such as curving one of Emperor's bullets to dodge around Silver Chariot's sword.
* BoringButPractical: His Stand, Emperor, is simply a gun. A gun he can summon to his hand instantly, has unlimited ammunition with little-to-no recoil, and can redirect its bullets mid-flight.
* BottomlessMagazines: Unusually for a revolver, Emperor is shown never to need reloading. Justified, since it's a Stand that produces the bullets inside its own chamber due to them actually being a part of itself. As seen in ''Heritage for the Future'', he can also rapid-fire it much like a machine pistol.
* BreakoutVillain: Three major appearances in the manga, two playable versions in ''Heritage for the Future'', ''and'' the earliest Part 3 minor villain to make it into ''All-Star Battle''? He definitely qualifies for this.
** To put it in perspective, he's in ''All-Star Battle'' from the start (although like all villains, you have to defeat him in Story Mode to use him), while Old Joseph Joestar and Iggy are DLC. He got into the game ''before two '''heroes''' from the same part''.
** He also got a special end credits sequence and song in the second half of the David Production ''Stardust Crusaders'' adaptation, alongside Boingo in Thoth's art style.
** He has [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak a spin-off manga]] featuring him and Josuke Higashikata. While he is not the first villain to get a spin-off story, it is still a mark on how popular he is.
* TheCasanova:
** He extols the virtues of charming people to J. Geil, pointing out things could be gotten in return. It ends up saving his life once, even.
** He also points this out to Boingo to show how hesitant he was to hit a woman behind her back just [[BecauseDestinySaysSo because Thoth said so]], even in return for a high reward.
--->'''Hol Horse:''' Listen, Boingo... I'm proud to say I'm a gentleman, and a proper gentleman at that. Cause of that, I got girls all over the world. [[EvenEvilHasStandards I might tell a white lie now and again, but I'd never haul off and hit one.]] I respect all the ladies; the beauties, the plain ones, and even the ugly ones! There's no way your prediction will ever come to pass. Come Hell or high water, I swear I would ''never'' hit a woman! She can pay me with every dime, nickel or quarter she had, I ''still'' wouldn't put my hands on her!
** In his ''Eyes of Heaven'' appearance, he has unique dialogue with [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=sLZHl8WZQLs every female opponent in the game]], although his [[CasanovaWannabe flirting attempts are unsuccessful]]. That said, even after he wins against them, he takes it all in stride and still [[WorthyOpponent sincerely compliments them afterward]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Despite still carrying a lot of trauma from the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', Hol Horse's nicer qualities [[TookALevelInKindness become much more evident]] in ''Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak''. On top of his involvement in the story starting from him doing a favor for an old woman to retrieve her lost bird, he loses a lot of his previous cowardice (drawing on his past experiences of such to become stronger) and goes more into depth about his past regrets and trying to be a better person; including [[spoiler:saving the three women who would eventually give birth to DIO's sons]]. The last we see of Hol Horse is buying Josuke coffee and [[ButNowIMustGo going back to Cairo]] to not only return Petsounds, but also help Boingo and Oingo deal with a gang trying to extort money from them; all things he never would have done previously.
* CombatPragmatist: Hol Horse knows exactly how underpowered his ability is compared to a lot of other Stand Users. He still does what he can and uses his environment, along with his partners, to the best of his ability. He starts out intimidating, [[spoiler:almost killing Avdol]], but runs away in the end. Next time he shows up, he's at the mercy of Enya and forms a brief EnemyMine situation with Jotaro and company. Then in his final appearance with Boingo: he ends up, due to a faulty watch, defeating himself quite spectacularly.
* {{Cowboy}}: A extremely corny one. That's quite... normal in this manga.
* ADayInTheLimelight: After not appearing since ''Stardust Crusaders'', Hol Horse becomes a principal character in the 2021 spinoff manga ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak''.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He tries to use his Stand to threaten some workers, but forgets that his Stand is InvisibleToNormals and the workers aren't Stand users, so they can't see it.
* DirtyCoward: Interestingly enough, despite how much [[BoisterousWeakling Hol Horse will talk up his Stand]] he's one of the few followers of DIO who never confronts the Joestar Group without backup. It's best seen when he tries to attack Kakyoin and Polnareff after they've just killed J. Geil.
-->'''Polnareff:''' I don't think he's listening any more, cowboy. [...] He's quite ''busy'' at the moment, carrying out his sentence in Hell.\\
'''Hol Horse:''' ''[[OhCrap (realizes, then immediately begins hiding it)]]'' Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ''hey!'' Don't try to pull that nonsense. Bluffing won't work on me! Nice try, though; there's ''no way'' you could have beaten him! Even ''I'' wouldn't try my luck against that mother. [[TemptingFate You know, Polnareff, your sense of humour stinks!]] ''(mirthlessly laughs)''\\
'''Polnareff:''' That piece of shit's corpse is two or three thousand meters that way if you want to take a look.\\
'''Hol Horse:''' ''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]'' ...Okay, I will! ''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere (immediately sprints away)]]''
** This side to him is downplayed greatly in the OVA, however. While an argument ''can'' be made for him being cowardly for not trying to intervene, Hol Horse only attempts to flee after reaching J. Geil too late and witnessing his violent death first-hand while hiding nearby -- rightly acknowledging that he's [[KnowWhenToFoldEm "at one hell of a disadvantage on his own"]] -- and is [[OnlyMostlyDead rendered comatose]] after Enya is defeated, so he doesn't steal the Joestar Group's car like he did in the anime and manga.
* DubNameChange: The official Polish translation changes his name to "Hol Oates", making it closer to the original pop rock duo's name.
* TheDragon: To J. Geil. While they both work for Dio, Hol Horse refers to J. Geil as his boss.
* {{Eagleland}}: The Boorish type. He's the first major American character to be portrayed negatively in the series, though his nicer qualities occasionally surface in ''Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak''.
* EnemyMine: With the Joestar Group when Enya shows up for revenge, since she's trying to kill him, too.
* EvilCounterpart: He's basically a villainous version of Polnareff, from their status as the ButtMonkey and their [[TheCasanova tendency to flirt with women]]. Araki intended for Hol Horse to join the team, but decided against it on the basis of him not only being too similar to Polnareff, but [[StoryBreakerPower Emperor being too much of an advantage]].
* EvilSoundsDeep: In all the adaptations he appears in, Hol Horse has a low and gruff voice.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: His voice is especially gravelly in the English dub of the anime.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ruthless and avaricious as he is, Hol Horse still has several lines he won't cross. He doesn't particularly believe in DIO's goals of world domination -- and is in fact the only member of his group who tries to kill him -- and avoids attacking innocents, treats his many girlfriends (and women on the whole) with kindness, and is repulsed by Boingo and Thoth predicting that [[StabTheScorpion he'll hit one to obtain a valuable jewel]]. [[spoiler:As told in ''Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak'', he's also horrified when he finds a secret room that contains the women that DIO previously [[VampiricDraining drank the blood of]]; and when Hol Horse realizes several of them are still alive and pregnant, [[PetTheDog he goes out of his way to rescue them]].]]
* ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy: Downplayed. Hol Horse does some of this when he initially encounters Polnareff, explaining to the Frenchman that "his Stand shoots" and that "[[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight the gun is mightier than the sword]]", on the basis that [[AffablyEvil he's a gentleman and wants to give him a sporting chance]]. What he ''doesn't'' explain until a crucial point however, is that [[MageMarksman he can control the bullets]]; and it's only [[BigDamnHeroes Avdol's intervention]] that stops Hol Horse from killing Polnareff right there and then once he springs it on him.
* FantasticFirearms: Emperor, an elaborate, ornately-designed HandCannon revolver that Hol Horse can summon to his hand out of nowhere (in the manner of a QuickDraw), and with bullets that he can directly control in flight.
-->'''Hol Horse:''' Even the ''bullets'' are part of my Stand!
* FatalFlaw: Realistically speaking, Hol Horse has one of the most broken Stands in the series; as it gives him a clear advantage over other Stands that are often inhibited by short ranges. The only thing that stops him from utilizing Emperor to its fullest extent is that he's simultaneously too reckless and cowardly, often needing to rely on a partner to get the job done.
* GratuitousEnglish: His English ''sucks'' in the 2014 Anime.
* GoldfishPoopGang: After his first appearance, he's treated as a minor nuisance and a ButtMonkey, and ends up defeating ''himself'' spectacularly after botching Thoth's prediction with a fast watch.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He's almost never seen without a cigarette in one corner of his mouth, and he can weaponize it in his video game appearances by [[CombatPragmatist blowing smoke into his opponent's eyes]].
* TheGunslinger: What he styles himself as, but unfortunately he can barely hit a damn thing.
* HaHaHaNo: In all the versions of ''Stardust Crusaders'', Hol Horse has this reaction to Polnareff making fun of him as he's explaining to him what Emperor does and how [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight because it's a gun, it can't be defeated by Silver Chariot's sword]]. He laughs along with Polnareff for several seconds, before suddenly turning serious and trying to shoot him down.
* HeroicWillpower: Hol Horse surprisingly has several moments of this in ''Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak'', through which he's able to escape from Petsounds' [[GrandTheftMe Stand powers]]. Notably, he wills himself out of being forced to shoot Inspector Hiraoka by the parrot (like when he tried to kill DIO) when he notices a green traffic light reflecting off the Inspector's gleaming cufflinks -- which reminds him of seeing Kakyoin's final Emerald Splash when he and Boingo were fleeing Cairo, and gives him a different memory to focus on -- and despite being overcome by fear initially, snaps himself out of [[MindScrew being forced to hallucinate citizens being shot by a Dictator's army in Egypt]] when he rationalizes to himself that the fear he's feeling is nothing compared to back when he gave into DIO's will ten years ago.
* HiddenDepths: Hol Horse is implied to be very skilled at the board game [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratego Stratego]] (referred to in-series as "Soldier's/Military Chess"), specifically citing its TacticalRockPaperScissors gameplay when explaining to Polnareff [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight why Silver Chariot can't defeat his Emperor]]. ''Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak'' also reveals that he's very good at Darts, being able to consistently hit the Inner Bull in three throws.
* HitmanWithAHeart: Downplayed example. While Hol Horse is cowardly, avaricious, and talks a far bigger game than his actual capabilities, he isn't particularly on-board with DIO's world domination goals -- [[OnlyInItForTheMoney only working for him for the paycheck]] and later out of fear from a failed attempt to kill him -- treats his many girlfriends with kindness, is [[AffablyEvil polite and can even be quite pleasant]] when not actively fighting, and despite kidnapping and occasionally snapping at him out of anger, does his best to reassure [[TagalongKid Boingo]] and make sure he's okay throughout their mutually-beneficial partnership. The duo even [[IntergenerationalFriendship outright consider each other friends]] in the Capcom fighting game.
-->'''Hol Horse:''' We'll beat them every time with our teamwork and friendship! Right, Boingo?
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Which, when you consider he can actually ''control his bullets' trajectory'', [[EpicFail is saying something]]. Considering how often this happens to [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureTeamBucciarati Mista]] later on, one can imagine that Hol Horse only getting hit with this twice (first time courtesy of Enya but he barely managed to avoid getting fatally injured, and the second time because of him being an inattentive idiot) is because he didn't show up enough times for it to happen ''more often''.
** Only the first case happens to him in the OVA. He's more badly wounded by being shot by his own Stand (though he remains conscious long enough to both warn Polnareff and lampshade it before he collapses), and after Enya's village disappears, Hol Horse is left lying comatose on the ground. [[DeathByAdaptation He initially appears to be dead from his wounds]], but Polnareff goes over to check and [[SubvertedTrope confirms him to still be alive]], at which point Joseph [[SaveTheVillain calls an ambulance for Hol Horse and lets him go]] in return for helping them.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Hol Horse, you've got to fail pretty badly if you're still missing all your targets ''when you can control the direction of the bullets''. Made even better by the fact that he's been hit by his own bullets on two separate occasions. The first time he was being subjected to PeoplePuppets, but the second time was him forgetting his own Stand's bullets were still flying around when he got distracted by Thoth's predictions.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Hol Horse's Stand can control the bullets from his gun, which should result in this trope... but since Hol Horse can't aim worth a damn, it's ultimately averted.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Is one of the most incompetent Stand users hired by DIO, along with Oingo and Boingo. He's also one of the only villains to get relatively sympathetic moments (particularly with Boingo and Nena), as well as be confirmed to have survived the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'' in all versions.
* InformedFlaw: Emperor is supposedly a bad match against Avdol's Magician's Red's flames. Exactly how it is weak to flames is unknown as [[spoiler:Hol Horse and J. Geil manage to (supposedly) kill Avdol]].
* InverseLawOfUtilityAndLethality: Hol Horse gets hit with it ''bad''. His Emperor Stand is a gun with controllable bullets; by all rights, he should just be able to get the drop on the heroes and [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim shoot them all dead in their sleep]]. In spite of that, [[spoiler:he manages to kill precisely none of them]]. He is considered one of the weakest Stand users in the series, even to himself.
* {{Irony}}: Despite his reputation as a DirtyCoward and IneffectualSympatheticVillain, Hol Horse is the ''only'' villainous Stand user brave enough to [[JustShootHim try and kill DIO himself]] after being belittled by the vampire once too often. Despite easily dodging the shot, even DIO expresses his admiration.
** Hol Horse describes himself as always being number 2 in a team, joining and helping the much more powerful J. Geil. Despite this in [[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture all his]] [[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle playable]] [[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven appearances]] Hol Horse is ''the'' playable character, while J. Geil and Hanged Man (or Boingo, depending) are relegated to [[AssistCharacter assists in his moveset]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Sympathetic moments aside, Hol Horse goes out of his way to viciously taunt Polnareff and friends when he thinks that he's got the upper hand.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: A big part of Hol's ability to survive is that he understands how weak Emperor is in comparison to most other Stands, at least if he doesn't have another Stand User at his side to help compensate for Emperor's flaws. He also isn't as fanatically loyal to DIO as most of Jotaro's other enemies are. Plus, the fact that he bails every time he's at a disadvantage means he lives for ''way'' longer than almost any of DIO's other henchmen.
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** In the "Hol Horse and Boingo" arc, Hol Horse ultimately disposed of when one of his bullets ends up hitting him in the head in a way that hospitalizes him but doesn't kill him, [[spoiler:similar to what happens with Avdol]].
** In the spinoff ''Manga/CrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak'', Mariah magnetizes Hol Horse with Bastet so that he'll be nearly skewered by a group of swords flying at him. She even states she wanted to teach him a lesson for exploiting Boingo back in ''Stardust Crusaders''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: In the anime, Hol Horse has two; ''[[https://youtube.com/watch?v=x1vqWVXnHJs Wind in the Wilderness]]'', an Indian and Spaghetti Western-influenced track that accompanies most of his appearances, and his humorously-catchy [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=YhIDrA26laA ending theme]] shared with [[PluckyComicRelief Boingo]], accompanied by banjo strumming, gunshots and horse whinnying on his sections.
** In the OVA, his appearances are frequently accompanied by a [[https://youtu.be/AqazeMYE6Zc?t=1821 sinister hard rock-based cue]] from ''Polnareff's Feelings'', first appearing when he rolls in on his CoolBike to pursue Polnareff.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: While he's a DirtyCoward who unashamedly tries to kill the Joestar Group on DIO's orders on multiple occasions, Hol Horse in comparison to the rest of DIO's followers is far less monstrous, psychotic and inhuman in demeanor; coming across as a bounty hunter who's doing his job. It helps that he directs his evil actions toward his target exclusively, doesn't commit any of the needlessly pointless KickTheDog moments or acts of sadism of his peers, and was the only one of them to [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim try and kill DIO himself]]. Even when he does attack civilians, it's due to a prediction and out of reluctance, or out of [[AssholeVictim provoked retaliation]]. He even helped out his enemies deal with Enya out of a temporary alliance.
* MageMarksman: Hol Horse's Stand consists of a gun and the bullets within, [[ImprobableAimingSkills allowing him to control the trajectory of his shots]]. [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy Too bad he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn]].
* MistakenForGay: In the manga and OVA, [[https://youtu.be/6EdAsJYDb2M Polnareff deliberately invokes this to piss Hol Horse off]] when he's boasting about Emperor's power.
-->'''Hol Horse:''' Ya' see, my Stand is the gun, and your sword can't beat my gun.\\
'''Polnareff:''' Oh, what's that? "I can beat your bum"? ''Oooooh'', you're into ''that'' stuff!\\
''(Polnareff bursts out laughing for a long time at his own joke, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny as does Hol Horse a few seconds later]])''\\
'''Hol Horse:''' ''(mood darkens)'' [[HaHaHaNo You...]] ''(draws Emperor)'' '''[[IllKillYou I'LL]] [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKIN']] [[IllKillYou KILL YOU!]]'''
* NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight: As stated in his fight with Polnareff, Hol Horse is a firm believer of this, [[HiddenDepths citing the board game Stratego/Military Chess as an example]]. Indeed, going by how their initial fight went, [[NotSoHarmlessVillain he would have likely killed the Frenchman]] had Avdol not gotten involved.
* NotNowKiddo: How he's ultimately defeated. While Hol Horse is distracted by Thoth while trying to work out where their plan to kill Jotaro went wrong, Boingo sees the bullets he fired down the pipe earlier flying back round toward them, and attempts to warn him. Hol Horse brushes him off as he flicks through the pages... [[BoomHeadshot just in time for the bullets to hit]] ''[[BoomHeadshot him]]'' [[BoomHeadshot instead]]. Hol Horse survives due to the bullets disappearing before they could inflict fatal wounds, but it still puts him out of commission for the rest of the story.
* NumberTwo: Explicitly calls himself this kind of person, as he refuses to be anything more than someone's henchman, and preferring to let his partner take charge while he backs them up and then abandon them the moment things go bad. As stated in his ''Heritage for the Future'' ending:
-->'''Hol Horse:''' ''(after betraying and defeating DIO)'' Ha! You never had my loyalty! You can't buy ''my'' soul with money. Now, there is no one who can oppose me. [...] ...But I'm more of a second-in-command than the Head Honcho kinda guy. That's just my way of life! Any objections?
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's a hired mercenary who lacks the fanatical loyalty to DIO that most of the other villains have. He even tries to kill DIO near the end, who proceeds to terrify him into submission, at which point he sees no other choice than to do as he says or die.
* OnlyMostlyDead: What happens to him in the OVA. Hol Horse is more badly wounded by Enya stabbing him through the hand and [[AteHisGun making him shoot himself with Emperor]], and collapses into a coma after falling out of a closet and warning Polnareff about her in the hotel bar. Although he clearly ''looks'' like he's died -- complete with [[DiesWideOpen his eyes staying open]], [[BloodFromTheMouth bleeding profusely from the mouth]] and [[DeadHatShot his hat drifting down over his face]] before he's abandoned to Justice's zombies -- he's later seen lying on the ground in the same state after Enya is killed and [[LoadBearingBoss her hotel and zombies vanish into thin air]]. [[DeathByAdaptation One would be forgiven for thinking he is in fact dead]], but Polnareff goes over and [[SubvertedTrope confirms Hol Horse to still be alive somehow]]; at which point [[SaveTheVillain Joseph gets him medical assistance and lets him go as thanks for helping them]].
-->'''Polnareff:''' Hey, isn't that Hol Horse lying in the dirt? ''(goes over and checks his vital signs)'' He's still breathing!\\
'''Joseph:''' Leave him alone. He needs to be hospitalized, he's no longer a threat.
* PrecisionFStrike: As seen above, Hol Horse gives a ''furious'' one in the OVA when Polnareff [[MistakenForGay makes fun of how he talks up his Stand]].
* QuickDraw: Befitting an old western gunslinger, this is how he summons Emperor before using it.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He receives a rather spot-on one from Devo in ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak]]'', which is shown still haunting him years later.
-->'''Devo:''' There's nothing [[TarotMotifs emperor-like]] about you, Hol Horse. You're an eternal no.2, always hiding behind someone else's ass. Tell me, how does J. Geil's look from back there? [...] Always cowering behind a bigger man, and then making yourself scarce when things get tough... Some emperor you'd make.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: The form of his Stand, Emperor. Again, [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy it's too bad he can't get a shot even if his life depended on it]].
* ShellShockedVeteran: He's become one by the time of ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak]]''. Hol Horse had caught on to how much of a menace DIO actually was, and his assassination attempt was meant to break himself and the other minions free from DIO's influence. Unfortunately, even after DIO was killed by Jotaro, his influence on them had already taken its toll, leaving Hol Horse and the other surviving minions to try and unsuccessfully lead normal lives, not just because they've been outcasted from associating with DIO, but the methods DIO used on them resulted in severe mental trauma. Tellingly, when Hol Horse goes to Morioh and spots a water tower, he immediately hears DIO's voice ringing in his head, and when he's about to be hit by a car, he freezes in fear, thinking back to when DIO used Wilson Phillips to commit mass vehicular manslaughter in Egypt.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Proves to be this for Enya, being the one who reveals that she's an evil Stand user. [[spoiler:As seen in ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak]]'', Hol Horse is also the reason that the sons of DIO -- Giorno, Ungalo, Rikiel, and Donatello Versus -- are alive. After being shell-shocked into compliance by DIO after his first failure to kill the Joestar Group, Hol Horse comes across a secret room in his mansion where the women [[VampiricDraining he's drained of their blood]] are kept. Hol Horse notices several of them are still alive, and so he promptly [[PetTheDog gets the survivors out of the mansion, puts them in a taxi cab, and pays the driver a large sum of money to take them as far away as possible]]. In doing so, he ends up eventually being the indirect cause of Diavolo's downfall in ''Golden Wind'', and Pucci's near-victory in ''Stone Ocean''.]]
* StabTheScorpion: In a hilarious variation, he kicks a woman in the neck because one of Boingo's previsions not only showed him doing so but also receiving some jewellery as a result. Turns out that this is because there was a deadly scorpion hiding in her scarf.
* TheStarscream: Attempted. After questioning why he's still supporting DIO after narrowly escaping his last encounter with the Joestar Group in one piece -- on top of DIO rudely rebuffing him reporting the news -- Hol Horse [[JustShootHim tries to shoot DIO]] and take all the vampire's treasure for himself. DIO is one step ahead however and uses [[TimeStandsStill The World]] to nonchalantly dodge the shot. Instead of killing him, however, DIO allows Hol Horse to live on account of being impressed by his technique and killing intent despite not succeeding. And [[ScareEmStraight having terrified him into compliance anyway]].
-->'''Hol Horse:''' Wha-What the hell...? How... did he get behind me? ''(bites off his cigarette and collapses to the ground in absolute shock)'' [[VillainousBreakdown I just don't get it... I just don't get it...!]]
* StoryBreakerPower: Emperor is just as deadly as a real gun is, but it goes further with how Hol Horse is able to precisely control the trajectory of its bullets. In his first fight, he is even able to weave his bullets past Silver Chariot's sword. Due to how overpowered Emperor is, Hol Horse's subsequent appearances establish him as being an extremely poor shot. According to Araki, this was a major reason why he never went through with making Hol Horse go through a HeelFaceTurn: a character who can instantly shoot you in the head whenever he wants is really hard to write a fight around. It's quite visible when comparing him with [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Mista]], who has a functionally similar Stand but faces far more limitations, mostly due to it being a physical revolver rather than a Stand (he can't take it anywhere, he can fail to draw it or be disarmed, it has to reload after six shots, etc).
* TarotMotifs: The Emperor card, when facing upright, symbolizes being your own boss and making your own rules for others to obey. Hol Horse has a rigid policy about letting his partner take charge, as he believes taking charge himself puts him in danger. By sticking to this policy, he exhibits traits of the reversed Emperor; poor leadership and lack of energy.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After going through a good deal of VillainDecay, Hol Horse ''finally'' gets a lasting win in his non-canon ending with Boingo in ''Heritage for the Future''; the two work together to defeat the Joestar Group and part on good terms after. Hol Horse reports back to DIO with the news of their success and receives a big enough cash reward to live happily ever after, while Boingo reunites with his brother and goes on to pull a full HeelFaceTurn; becoming more confident in himself and using the power of his Stand to help people.
* TooDumbToLive: After DIO finishes lecturing Hol Horse on his slew of failures, he gives him another chance to go kill Jotaro and his friends. In response, Hol Horse tries to kill DIO with his back turned despite being blatantly terrified of his boss. Very fortunately for him, DIO expresses his admiration for Hol Horse having the gall to attack him, and simply tells him to direct that murderous energy to the Joestar Group after casually dodging his shot with his Stand.
* UngratefulBastard: The Joestar Group saved Hol Horse from Enya's wrath and he repays them by stealing their car and returning to DIO's side, the asshole. Averted in the OVA, where he doesn't do either due to being rendered comatose by his injuries.
* UnskilledButStrong: Emperor actually has a B in destructive power, outdoing both combat Stands Hierophant Green and Silver Chariot in a direct fight. And not only are his bullets as fast as actual bullets, but he can control exactly where they go mid-flight. And he has BottomlessMagazines since the bullets are part of the Stand. And yet in spite of all these advantages, he can barely land a shot on ''anything''.
* VillainDecay: '''BIG TIME'''. Initially shown to be a big enough threat to [[spoiler:put Avdol out of commission for a long time]], in his next appearance he's humiliated by the next villain and forced into an EnemyMine situation with Polnareff, and finally, he's reduced to an even bigger ButtMonkey than Polnareff when partnered with Boingo of all people.
* VillainHasAPoint: While he does exploit of Nena's love for him, he does give a sound reason why he refuses to marry her -- Nena's rich family wouldn't want her running off with a wandering vagrant, and even if she was of legal age to marry in her home country, other countries wouldn't accept their marriage due to the age of consent being higher there.
* VillainousFriendship:
** Establishes one with Boingo in ''Heritage for the Future'', which doubles as an IntergenerationalFriendship. This is averted in the series proper, as they are uneasy allies at best, kidnapper and kidnappee at worst.
** A downplayed example with J. Geil; the two seem fairly chummy when they're first seen together, but it's clear they're only allies of convenience, and Hol Horse doesn't seem upset about J. Geil's death at all. This gets exploited later on when he pretends that he and J. Geil were [=BFFs=] to comfort a grieving Enya. She sees right through Hol Horse's lies immediately, claiming that he couldn't have been that close if he was willing to leave J. Geil to die.
* VillainTeamUp: He swears by fighting in a duo and therefore forms two of these throughout Part 3's run; first with J. Geil and then with Boingo. He attempts to form an alliance with Enya as well, but she [[EtTuBrute turns him down]].
* WalkingTheEarth: It's implied a lot that Hol Horse is a wanderer, with no set place of residence. As he himself states in the OVA when he meets one of his girlfriends before he sets off to kill Polnareff:
-->'''Hol Horse:''' Hey, I'm just a drifter, I got no home. I live this ol' life day-to-day, and in the end, I'm destined to die on the street. Listen to me... you come from one of them aristocratic families, you shouldn't be thinkin' about marrying an ol' cowboy like me. Even though we love each other so very, very much, ya see?
* WeakWilled: There's really no other way to describe him, considering he willingly and frequently comments on his desire to be serving someone else, and tries not to act out on his own.
* WeaponForIntimidation: In a humorous subversion, Hol Horse ''tries'' to use his Stand to threaten some workers into opening up a pipe for him and Boingo to fire Emperor's bullets down, but fails because as non-Stand users, they can't see it. As far as they can tell, he's threatening them with an imaginary gun.
* WouldHurtAChild: After kidnapping Boingo and locking him in a suitcase, while they're in a taxicab, Hol Horse threatens him if he screams after being let out. However, he may have been bluffing, as he never follows through with his threat even after Boingo throws up on him.
-->'''Hol Horse:''' I'm gonna open the suitcase and let you out. Unless you want some grade-A pain, I suggest you keep calm. Is that clear?
* WouldntHitAGirl: In fitting with his nature as TheCasanova, Hol Horse lives by this rule, and makes it clear to Boingo that he respects all women, and that he'd never attack one. That being said, he ''does'' make two exceptions: the first was when he attempted to shoot Enya out of self-defense when she tried to kill him, and the second was to follow the future told by Boingo's Stand, Thoth, which resulted in him [[StabTheScorpion saving a woman from being stung by a deadly scorpion]].

->''"Can you punch the fog with your fist? Or cut the fog with a sword, or shoot it with a gun?! I don't think so! Absolutely futile. There's nothing you can do but '''accept your fate!'''''''"''

The elderly mother of J. Geil, and one of DIO's most loyal followers. She is named after Music/{{Enya}}.

Her Stand, Justice, can possess dead bodies by inhabiting them with a strange mist-like substance -- essentially turning them into zombies -- and can also control living victims by entering through any wounds they have recently sustained.

* AlasPoorVillain: Her death at the hands of Steely Dan was horrifyingly gruesome and pitiful. Even the Joestar Group thought that she didn't deserve to die in such a manner.
* AvengingTheVillain:
** Tries to take vengeance for her son J. Geil's death.
** Despite her showing zero kindness towards them, Jotaro thought her death was so horrible that he tells Steely Dan to ask forgiveness from her before beating the shit out of him.
* BadassBoast: "Justice will triumph!".
* BreakingOldTrends: She too, has a flesh bud inside her. But unlike Kakyoin and Polnareff, whose flesh buds altered their personality and made them fanatically loyal to DIO, hers was purely an insurance policy, and by all accounts was ALREADY completely dedicated to DIO with minimum or no change in her personality.
* CallBack: Her zombie town is eerily similar to DIO's shenanigans in Windknight's Lot back from ''Phantom Blood''.
* TheCameo: In Part 4, she's holding the Stand Arrow on a photograph. In Part 5, a flashback showed she received the arrow and meeting Diavolo in Egypt.
* CompositeCharacter: In the OVA, she's blended with Nena.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: She's eaten alive from the inside out by DIO's flesh buds.
* DotingParent: To J. Geil, though [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter she tends to forget how monstrous a person he truly is]], [[VillainousLineage but we might know who he gets it from]].
* TheDragon: Out of DIO's servants she seems to be his most trusted and loyal one (other than [[BlindObedience Vanilla Ice]]), even serving as his confidant and the one who informed him of how Stands work and bestowing his own Stand upon him. [[spoiler:Then he decides Enya is a liability to be eliminated after her defeat to the Joestar group.]]
* DubNameChange: An odd version. In the original Japanese, characters refer to her as "Enya-Ba", with "ba" being a Japanese suffix that refers to an older woman; thus, they're essentially calling her "Granny Enya". Both Viz and Crunchyroll [[RenamedTheSame integrated the "ba" into her name]], making it "Enyaba". Additionally, Viz gave her her son's surname Geil, while Crunchyroll didn't because they had to change his name too.
* EtTuBrute:
** She's been nothing but loyal to DIO, so she feels betrayed when he decides she's outlived her usefulness.
** She also feels that Hol Horse betrayed her and J. Geil by leaving him to die at the hands of the heroes.
* EvilCounterpart: In a way is this to Avdol, as they both are fortunetellers that name Stands and wear somewhat similar clothing, despite never interacting.
* EvilGenius: Enya's a calculating and clever old witch and in the context of DIO's criminal organization as a whole she worked behind the scenes as one of the key administrators behind several of his schemes. She was the one who had the deep understanding of Stands that got DIO invested in them and helped him to better understand them. She organized the seven man strong attack on the Joestar Group after Polnareff joined them. It was Enya who distributed the Stand Arrows to their agents, like Yoshihiro, so they could continue DIO's plans.
* EvilOldFolks: Can you believe that it's possible to see a resemblance between her and her son because of this?
* EvilSoundsRaspy: She speaks with a stereotypically hag-like croak.
* FatalFlaw: Enya is ultimately done in by her [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter her presumptions of others]].
** She went to kill the Joestar Group herself, believing they, particularly Polnareff, were wrong in killing her son- in spite of being [[TheSociopath an unrepentant murderer]] and [[SerialRapist rapist]]. She also assumed that because she was one of the [[CoDragons closest people to DIO himself]], he wouldn't try to kill her- only to be [[HeKnowsTooMuch killed for that exact reason- being in his personal circle meant she could potentially reveal the nature of his Stand- if she was deemed a liability]]- to her shock.
* FasterThanTheyLook: She's a tiny, elderly woman, but she's FAR faster than she looks, which is lampshaded.
* FauxAffablyEvil: With the exception of DIO and her son, her good cheer and politeness is merely a ruse to lure her victims closer into where she has an advantage over them. By the time Polnareff -- [[ItsPersonal J. Geil's killer]] -- gives her a shoulder massage while [[InnocentlyInsensitive asking if she has any children]] and [[BerserkButton jokingly asking if he could be her adopted grandson afterwards]], it's clear she's only ''barely'' holding back an UnstoppableRage.
* GypsyCurse: She fits the character type associated with this trope suspiciously well; she's a fierce, [[AmbiguouslyBrown dark-skinned]] old lady with a penchance for witchcraft, murder and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking scamming people]]. Also worth noting is that she makes a cameo early in Part 7 as a ''fortune teller''.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: This is why DIO has Steely Dan execute her. Despite her loyalty, they don't trust even ''her'' to not reveal the nature of The World.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Enya wanted the Joestar Group dead for DIO's sake, but it became [[ItsPersonal personal when her son died]], leading to her wanting to avenge him- accusing them of being underhanded in dealing with her beloved son. Said son was [[SerialKiller an unrepentant mass murderer]] [[SerialRapist who gleefully raped young women on a regular basis]]- thus killing him to prevent further murders.
** A more severe example would be with DIO. She had assumed that due to being one of his various CoDragons, that he wouldn't attempt killing her if she ever became a liability. It becomes shocking to her at least, that DIO [[HeKnowsTooMuch would have her killed exactly for that same reason- with that closeness in his inner circle resulting in her knowing his Stand's secrets]].
* INeverToldYouMyName: What gave her away to Jotaro was when she knew Joseph's last name even though they never mentioned their names to her, indicating that she already knew who they were and was expecting them. His suspicions were later confirmed when she called Jotaro by name as well. She tries to make an excuse by reading from the guest book, only for Jotaro to reveal that the whole gang wrote under fake names.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Enya's motivation for avenging her son, not out of a sense of justice as Polnareff accuses, but because the loss hurt ''her''. See MoralMyopia below.
* ItsPersonal: While she was always going to have the Joestar Group killed in order to remove a threat to DIO, it became a more intimate as one of them killed her son.
** It's subtly deconstructed as it's implied DIO not only had her killed to secure his secrets remained hidden, but also due to prioritizing her own goals over securing valuable information on her boss at any cost--[[BetterToDieThanBeKilled killing oneself if needed]]--such as the case of N'Doul.
* IWasQuiteALooker: A younger version of her shows up in the OVA prequel and indeed she was much easier on the eyes. [[http://i.imgur.com/6SRMVe1.jpg See for yourself]]. However, it could simply be a form that she adopted considering that her OVA incarnation is a CompositeCharacter of herself and Nena.
* LargeHam: She likes to talk about the power of her Stand, that's for sure.
* LeaveHimToMe: In the OVA, [[VillainousRescue she rescues Hol Horse from Polnareff in her Nena disguise]], but purely so she can [[ItsPersonal get him herself for watching J. Geil be killed and then abandoning him]]. While Enya doesn't succeed in ''killing'' him, she does render Hol Horse comatose by forcing him to shoot himself with Emperor.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: A photograph of her in Part 4 shows her carrying the Bow and Stand Arrow. The Bow is a normal-sized recurve bow. ''It's as tall as she is.''
* MoralMyopia: Invoked by her. Polnareff killed her son, and that makes ''him'' the bad guy. The fact that J. Geil was literally a rapist and serial killer to begin with, having murdered an unknown number of girls before Sherry, is irrelevant to the calculations.
* {{Necromancer}}: Enya can have Justice infect corpses with its fog allowing her to raise them as zombies.
* NighInvulnerability: Justice is made of fog so its impossible to hurt even with other Stands. Jotaro gets around this usually broken ability by having Star Platinum inhale Justice causing Enya to suffocate.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Keeps up with Silver Chariot armed with only a pair of scissors, and surprises Jotaro with how fast she can run, despite her advanced age.
* PeoplePuppets: Justice can possess people through their wounds.
* ThePhilosopher: She can keep up with DIO's philosophizing.
* PrecisionFStrike: In the OVA, she has such a moment.
-->'''Enya:''' Goddamn it, I'll fucking kill you [all]!
* PsychoSupporter: Fanatically loyal to her lord, DIO. [[HeKnowsTooMuch The feeling is not shared]].
* RedRightHand: Much like J. Geil, Enya and her Stand have two right hands.
* RevengeMyopia: Enya explicitly says she doesn't care what her son did to invite Polnareff's wrath, only that Polnareff killed him.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Nena and ZZ fail to bring down Polnareff and the rest of the Joestar Group, she decides she has to avenge her son herself. Reaches RevengeBeforeReason levels, because she would have had much better chances if she had left the hotel and just sent her army of the dead to take them out.
* ShearMenace: She's a pretty good fencer with those scissors.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She is the reason DIO managed to awake his Stand, The World, thanks to her buying the Stand Arrows from Passione (as revealed in ''Golden Wind''), and it's heavily implied that much of DIO's knowledge of the Stand phenomenon come from her teachings, meaning that if it wasn't for Enya, DIO and none of the Joestars would have awakened their Stands, nor would DIO know about "Heaven", meaning that she is the main reason for the BittersweetEnding of ''Stone Ocean''. Which is pretty impressive, as she was only a ClimaxBoss.
* SkullForAHead: Part of Justice's appearance is a giant, fanged skull floating in the mist.
* {{Synchronization}}: For some reason when her son dies she suffers the same wounds as him.
* TarotMotifs: Justice, of which Enya has a very strong yet twisted sense, as shown in how much she believes in the "righteousness" of DIO's cause and how badly she wants to avenge her son. Justice also deals with seeking the truth, which her Stand conceals using a dense fog.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: She wrote off the Joestar Group as "trash". To say that this was a mistake is a major understatement.
* UndyingLoyalty: Completely loyal to DIO, to the point where she refuses to disclose any info about DIO's Stand to Jotaro and the gang even when she finds out that she's just as expendable to DIO as any of the other Stand users and he has her killed to protect his secret.
* VillainousFriendship: She assumed this was the case between herself and DIO, with her being one of his [[CoDragons inner circle]], giving him the power to call out his Stand, and discussing philosophy with him at times. This turns one-sided on her end as DIO unhesitatingly has her killed to ensure her secrets, treating her as a high-risk source of information that potentially expose him.
* VillainousLineage: The most likely explanation to why she would avenge her son when he was a twisted murderer. She's pretty sinister herself and worships someone like ''DIO'', after all.
* WorfHadTheFlu: [[Literature/JoJosBizarreAdventureOverHeaven According to DIO's Diary]], the flesh bud that was implanted into her caused her to not be as effective as she normally would be without it, explaining her [[MonsterOfTheWeek performance against the Joestar Group]] in spite of being one of DIO's CoDragons.
* WickedWitch: She's known as "Enya the Hag" for her witch-like appearance, being a ugly and tiny evil old woman with supernatural powers.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: DIO disposes of her the moment she's defeated.
* YouKilledMyFather: Inverted; she swears revenge against Polnareff (and, through his inaction, [[EtTuBrute Hol Horse]]) for killing her son.
* ZombieApocalypse: She controls a localized zombie army through Justice.

A mercenary of DIO with illusionary Stand powers. He is named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_G Kenny G]], while in the dub of the anime, he is instead named after the Music/MichaelJackson song [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Jean "Billie Jean"]].
\\
\\
His Stand, Tenore Sax, allows him to create illusions from buildings, such as making elaborate mazes and hiding himself from enemies.

* AllThereInTheManual: His Stand's name comes from supplementary materials and isn't revealed in the manga proper.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In spite of being a Stand user whose power is only illusions and no combat power, '''he''' is considered to be the better in comparison to Nukesaku, which emphasizes how pathetic the latter is comparison.
* {{Bizarchitecture}}: Tenore Sax made DIO's palace into this.
* CurbStompBattle: To quote the manga; "This man is Kenny G. His Stand is a Stand of illusions. He was beaten without a fight."
* DubNameChange: To Billie Jean, a very rare case of a musical ShoutOut being replaced with ''another'' musical ShoutOut.
* GlassCannon: His illusion abilities are extensive, but goes down in one blow without any effort.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: In spite of its lack of combat power, its illusory power is capable of fooling trespassers into getting lost in the mazes it creates should they somehow get past Pet Shop with only special sensory types like Iggy are able to detect him. It's very telling that this power is heavily implied to the reason why DIO had him as one of his personal PraetorianGuard in his mansion, which include [[KnightOfCerebus Vanilla Ice]] over the more combat oriented Stands of The Nine Glory Gods or the Tarot Card users, which include Enya, one of his several CoDragons.
* InconsistentSpelling: His Stand's name is spelled "Tenore Sax" in the official ''JOJO A-GO!GO!'' art book, although it's also sometimes spelled "Tenor Sax" in other materials.
* LogicalWeakness: His Stand creates visual illusions, which don't work against a dog such as Iggy, who can detect where he's hiding by his smell.
* MasterOfIllusion: Tenore Sax is able to create vivid illusions from the environment, ranging from Terrence's surreal island room to a series of mazes. Additionally, it is subtly implied that he gave Terrence the illusion of levitating in order for the latter to appear more intimidating.
* NotQuiteDead: Even though he's shown to be all but dead after Iggy defeats him in ''Stardust Crusaders'', the manga spin-off ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak]]'' reveals that he's survived the ordeal (although he doesn't physically show up) and had settled down with Mariah, running a bar that he hides from outsiders using his Stand power.
* OddNameOut: His Tenore Sax is one of the only two Stands in ''Stardust Crusaders'' that isn't named for one of the Tarot's major arcana or an Egyptian god. It doesn't fit in with later naming conventions either, being the only Stand to be named after a musical instrument instead of a band, musician, album, or song.
* UglyGuyHotWife: In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureCrazyDiamondsDemonicHeartbreak Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak]]'', Kenny G., who is a short, imp-like man, ended up getting together with Mariah, a woman who is very easy on the eyes.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He is quickly taken down just before he's shown to the audience.

->''"Do you know what you've done?! I don't care if it ''was'' a fake! You forced me to destroy a figure in the form of Lord DIO, and you must answer for that crime! Your life is ''mine'' now!"''

DIO's right-hand man. He is named after Music/VanillaIce.
\\
\\
His Stand, Cream, is a demon that eats itself, forming a moving ball of nothingness that can cut through anything, even solid concrete. It is named after the band [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_%28band%29 Cream]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: While in the anime and manga he was already enough of an obsessive and murderous scumbag, Vanilla Ice is somehow ''even worse'' in the OVA version. There, he shows no VillainRespect to Avdol like he did in other adaptations, instead [[spoiler:[[SpeakIllOfTheDead calling him an idiot for sacrificing himself]] and trying to [[BreakingSpeech guilt-trip Polnareff into despair with it before killing him]]. Likewise, he doesn't even have the excuse of [[BerserkButton being made to attack the DIO statue]] for kicking and stomping Iggy; Vanilla Ice had already basically killed him by [[PortalCut tearing him in two with Cream]], but still brutalised the dying dog afterward simply because he ''could'']]. Needless to say, it's '''immensely''' satisfying when Polnareff and Silver Chariot give the bastard his just desserts by [[HumanPincushion stabbing him hundreds of times]] then [[RemoveTheHeadOrDestroyTheBrain cutting out his brain]] almost immediately after.
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite being a fair bit less powerful in the OVA -- as discussed further below -- Vanilla Ice ''can'' survive in direct sunlight in that adaptation, as shown by the scene where he chases Polnareff into an open courtyard in DIO's mansion.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the OVA, he isn't quite the unstoppable relentless monster he is in the source, even if he has the same amount of kills. It's notable that in this version, Iggy succeeds in his sneak attack and crushes him against a wall, and he only [[spoiler:kills Avdol after DIO had already badly wounded him beforehand, left him unable to move out of Cream's way, and cued Vanilla Ice to attack him just after instead of ambushing him]]. He even dies from Polnareff using Silver Chariot [[RemoveTheHeadOrDestroyTheBrain to pierce him full of holes and then slicing the top of his head off]]; blows which a vampiric Ice could probably have survived, especially considering he'd ''just'' been resurrected from completely decapitating himself.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: He's a special case; no one knows where he comes from, or what his true hair and skin color are. Some adaptations give him dark skin and white hair, while others give him dark hair and pale skin.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Is VERY fond of DIO.
* AxCrazy: While he presents himself as a reserved and icy foe, he's actually far more emotional than he appears to be and not in a good way. If DIO gets slighted in any way (as in even as arbitrary as a sand statue), he loses whatever control he has and goes into a homicidal rage, brutally beating and cursing whoever insults DIO in his vicinity.
* BarbarianLonghair: One of the few villains in the Part who doesn't have some form of mullet.
* BattleButler: Although Telence is the one who describes himself as such, it's Vanilla Ice who's the most effective and loyal fighter among DIO's servants in Part 3.
* BeatingADeadPlayer: The PromotedToPlayable version of Vanilla Ice from ''Heritage To The Future'' does this in one of his win poses. After knocking out his opponent, Vanilla Ice activates Cream and vaporizes the spot they currently are on, [[FinishingMove along with them]]. This makes him one of the only two fighters (along with Midler) to flat-out ''kill'' an opponent in any of the game's normal win poses.
* BerserkButton: Disrespecting DIO in any way. The reason he delivers such a vicious NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Iggy is because the latter tried attacking him with a fake DIO made from sand, which he had to destroy to defend himself. As he's doing so, he even says outright that he's dragging it out because it wouldn't be as satisfying to just have Cream kill him instantly.
* BlindObedience: Unlike many of DIO's minions who share the UndyingLoyalty trait, he takes this up a notch, cutting off his head because DIO simply asked him to donate ''some'' of his blood to heal up, and [[DisproportionateRetribution flying into a murderous rage]] when Iggy makes him hit a sand copy of DIO.
** Turns out [[spoiler:this is precisely why DIO decided to trust his plan to "attain Heaven" to Pucci, rather than Ice]].
* TheCameo: Vanilla Ice makes a cameo in the first OP for ''Stone Ocean''[='=]s anime adaptation, where his death is shown alongside iconic scenes and artifacts from the first five parts.
* ClimaxBoss: He's the final opponent the Joestar group has to face before DIO himself, and is by far the strongest other than him. [[spoiler:He manages to kill both Avdol and Iggy in his fight, and injures Polnareff as well.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Polnareff exploits the classic vampire weakness of sunlight to disintegrate him. This extends to the OVA as well, where his head is sliced in half.]]
* DesecratingTheDead: Does this to [[spoiler:Iggy]] in the OVA. [[spoiler:Although Vanilla Ice had already technically killed him by using Cream to cut Iggy in half at the waist, he stomps on Iggy's top half and kicks it hard against a pillar; out of both rage at being ambushed when he was about to kill Polnareff and out of pure spite accordingly to both of them. Needless to say, [[LaserGuidedKarma it doesn't end well for him]].]]
* {{Determinator}}: Averted. Vanilla Ice ''thinks'' he's this after surviving Silver Chariot stabbing him ''through the mouth and severing the brain stem''. In reality, he survived because when DIO resurrected him, he was turned into a vampire in the process.
* DiabolusExNihilo: A Stand-user who was also a vampire (something that hadn't encountered yet and only expected from DIO), whose Stand name doesn't fit in either of the Tarot or Egyptian God sets, whose very existence is an unknown factor, and [[spoiler:who kills two members and cripples another]].
* TheDragon: Well, technically speaking, he shares this post with Telence and Kenny G in terms of being a deadly blockade. but he's the only one we see showing absolute loyalty, to the point of immediately ''beheading himself'' in order to supply DIO with the blood he needs.
** CoDragons: Along with Enya the Hag, as both are very loyal to DIO and are very important to the story
* DubNameChange: He is called Iced in ''Heritage for the Future'' and in the OVA. ''All-Star Battle'', the Crunchyroll subs, and Viz translation all call him Cool Ice. Depending on your point of view, it could be a reference to ''Film/CoolAsIce'' (a film starring the actual Vanilla Ice), or the song ''Cold As Ice'' by Music/{{Foreigner|Band}}.
* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. His stand, Cream is ''extremely'' destructive because of its ability to turn into a fast, invisible void that erases anything it comes into contact with; but Vanilla Ice himself is shown to be somewhat absent-minded -- owing to not only his fanatical obsession with serving DIO above even his own well-being, but also [[ThereWasADoor using his Stand to rip through doors instead of simply opening them]] -- but he does show some use of strategy during his battle, [[spoiler:immediately killing Avdol through an ambush and destroying the exits to prevent Polnareff and Iggy from escaping]]. He also [[HoistByHisOwnPetard ends up causing his own undoing]] when all the damage he does to his surroundings enables Polnareff to open a way out of the manor and let sunlight in; eventually using the sunbeam to cripple Ice, then knock him into it to disintegrate him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he calmly cuts off his own head to provide DIO with blood.
* EvilGloating: Does this in the OVA after [[spoiler:he kills Avdol and has Polnareff dead to rights after injuring him with Cream, [[BreakingSpeech insulting the Fortune Teller's memory by calling him stupid for saving Polnareff when he could have survived if he hadn't]]. He is only foiled at the last moment by Iggy pulling a sneak attack on him]].
-->'''Vanilla Ice:''' [[spoiler:It was only for a little while, but you should thank Avdol for extending your life. At that time, if he hadn't pushed you away, you would have been [[PowerOfTheVoid swallowed by the sub-dimension together.]] He could have survived if he'd tried to escape alone. What an idiot!]]\\
'''Polnareff:''' [[spoiler:''(wounded and lying on the ground)'' "Idiot", you say...?!]]\\
'''Vanilla Ice:''' [[spoiler:[[SpeakIllOfTheDead They say the more foolish you are, the younger you die.]]]]\\
'''Polnareff:''' [[spoiler:''(appalled, and trying to get up)'' Y-you...!]]\\
'''Vanilla Ice:''' [[spoiler:You can still move? But, this is the end. Die as you regret your own ''stupidity''.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: In pretty much every adaptation, Vanilla Ice is cast with a low, imposing voice that matches his terrifying Stand and his determination.
* FatalFlaw: Wrath and fanaticism. He is so slavishly devoted to DIO that any insult to him (real or perceived) causes Ice to fly into a blind rage, and his decision to slowly and violently murder Iggy for invoking DIO's image (instead of just annihilating him with Cream) bought Polnareff crucial time to figure out how his powers worked, which leads to the grievous injury that effectively decided the fight for Polnareff.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Would you believe that the single deadliest antagonist in Part 3 would be named after a much-loathed rapper, or for the source of his powers to be [[PunnyName named Cream]]?
* FreudianExcuse: In the OVA's DIO exposits that Ice, much like N'Doul, was one of many people shunned and ousted from society because they were a Stand user. Following DIO gave him the purpose he never had.
* HairTriggerTemper: He's very short-tempered, which Polnareff and Iggy find out the hard way.
* HateSink: While he has some undertones of VillainousValor going for him, it doesn't change the fact that Vanilla Ice is an overly aggressive and irate foe with a wholly unhealthy allegiance to DIO and who [[spoiler:killed Avdol and Iggy]]. The OVA adaptation is ''worse'' as Vanilla Ice doesn't even have the aforementioned VillainousValor going for him, comes off as far more sadistic and contemptuous by [[spoiler:mocking Avdol's death]] and [[spoiler:kicking Iggy after he had killed the dog, whose only action in the fight was to crush him against a wall to save Polnareff from a fatal attack]].
* HellIsThatNoise: The anime interprets the sound of him going through things with Cream as a harsh buzzing noise, which naturally puts Polnareff and Iggy on edge whenever they hear it coming.
%% Do not add the HeroKiller trope to Vanilla Ice. The trope is about a character who is known in-universe for killing heroes, which Vanilla Ice is not.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Polnareff exploits the classic vampire weakness of sunlight by thrusting Vanilla Ice out of the mansion through a hole filled-wall created during Cream's rampage.
* {{Invisibility}}: A side effect of Cream's void state: a void is made of nothingness, so there's nothing for his opponents to see. Made more terrifying by the fact that he could instantly destroy anything by mere contact with his cloaked state. The downside of it is that he can't see anything while he's invisible either, [[UnskilledButStrong forcing him to attack near-blindly in his void state]].
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Vanilla Ice uses the trope literally on Iggy, multiple times, after he makes him attack a sand statue that resembles DIO.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: In serious contrast to the ineffective and sometimes comical enemies up to that point. He single-handedly [[spoiler:kills off two of the main party and nearly takes out Polnareff as well]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Vanilla Ice murders the sand-manipulating Iggy and completely destroys Avdol's body]]. He dies by disintegrating into dust and leaves no corpse behind. Similarly in the OVA, he dies by having his head sliced in half by Silver Chariot: similarly to how [[spoiler:he'd cut Iggy in two a few moments before.]]
* LeotardOfPower: He wears one, making it one of the rare male examples of this trope.
* NeckSnap: Silver Chariot not only stabs him through the head, it grabs and twists hard enough to snap Vanilla Ice's neck in the process. The fact that Ice survives this is what finally clues Polnareff in to the fact he's been turned into a vampire.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He delivers a vicious kicking assault to Iggy fueled by his outrage at having to attack the ''semblance'' of DIO. In the OVA, he instead delivers it -- [[spoiler:after already [[PortalCut ripping Iggy in two with Cream]]]] -- on the basis that Iggy succeeded in ambushing him with The Fool, smashing him between a wall and its sand.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: The only enemy of DIO's followers in Part not to fall prey to VillainBall. [[spoiler:He killed Avdol ''immediately'' without the normal EvilGloating done by the other enemies, and would have got Polnareff as well, if Avdol hadn't saved him at the last moment.]]
* NonIndicativeName: [[PlayingWithATrope Or rather]], "Non-Indicative Power". Despite having a name of Vanilla ''Ice'', his powers are instead has ThePowerOfTheVoid at his disposal from his Cream Stand, while [[FeatheredFiend Pet Shop]] has the expected [[AnIcePerson freezing powers]] instead. His name itself is more {{meaningful|Name}} with his cold, emotionless personality.
* NotEnoughToBury: Vanilla Ice dies when he's disintegrated by a beam of sunlight that Silver Chariot knocks him into; causing him to immediately disintegrate into dust and leaving only his clothes behind. Averted in the OVA, where his dismembered corpse simply slumps to the ground after being pierced full of hundreds of holes and [[RemoveTheHeadOrDestroyTheBrain having the top of his head sliced off]] by Silver Chariot.
* OddNameOut: One of only two Stands in ''Stardust Crusaders'' that isn't named for a major arcana or Egyptian god. However, his Stand is named after a band, which would become part of the standard MusicalThemeNaming of Stands after this part.
** He's also the first rap reference in ''[=JoJo=]''. Forever was given his name retroactively later.
* OutsideContextProblem: The group had gone in expecting DIO having only the 9 Glory Gods and the Tarot Card Stands as his guard against the Joestar Group. This makes Vanilla Ice all the shocking- due to be being a Stand user that not only doesn't fit the naming convention of the previous antagonists, but is strictly a NoNonsenseNemesis who managed to kill two of the heroes- who had survived everything up to this point, and whose esoteric power of swallowing itself to make itself a nigh-undetectable void being a large departure from the Stands being based in physical attributes like body manipulation/elemental manipulation with only a few outliers like Death-13 being dream based, Thoth being a precognitive book, and Osiris/Atum having [[YourSoulIsMine soul taking]] and additionally [[{{Telepathy}} mind reading]] in the case of the latter.
* PerpetualFrowner: Vanilla Ice is never seen smiling, keeping his face stoic unless his BerserkButton is pushed, owing to his solemn nature.
** Averted in the Ova where he briefly smirks when gloating to Polnareff on Avdol's seeming SenselessSacrifice to Polnareff.
* PortalCut: His Stand sends whatever it touches to another dimension, so anything that's only partially hit by it will be cleanly cut. [[spoiler:The only thing left of Avdol are his arms, and Iggy is cruelly cut in half in the OVA.]]
* PowerOfTheVoid: His Stand is able to devour itself and its user to become a void that soars rapidly through the air and consumes everything it comes in contact with.
* PsychoSupporter: His flat-out ''insane'' devotion to DIO -- to the point of decapitating himself immediately without question to provide his master with fresh blood -- is what also makes him unreliable, and causes DIO to entrust his master plan to Pucci instead.
* PunnyName: Though named after two different (groups of) musicians, his name and Stand together play on "vanilla ice cream". Likewise in the English dubs, they can form "iced cream" or "cool ice cream".
* RemoveTheHeadOrDestroyTheBrain: How Vanilla Ice dies in the OVA. After he violently cuts Iggy in half [[DesecratingTheDead before repeatedly stomping the top half of his body and throwing it against a pillar]], Polnareff kills him by furiously piercing him full of holes with Silver Chariot, then finishing him off by slicing off the top of his head -- namely, where his brain is -- to stop him from healing.
* TheRenfield: To DIO, the most explicit of the minions, being a loyal human to DIO's vampire, though downplayed as he's soon turned into a vampire shortly within his introduction with a gradual transformation and [[Characters/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Enrico Pucci]] being closer to DIO.
* {{Sadist}}: While he's actually more agitated and furious about the predicament, the way Vanilla Ice brutalizes [[spoiler:Iggy, namely by repeatedly kicking the dog despite being heavily injured beforehand, announcing his intent on torturing him and even admitting to drawing out Iggy's suffering for the "crime" of disrespecting Dio]], is done so in way that suggests that makes it look as if he's relishing and taking pride in his action. In a rare case, Vanilla Ice relishes on being sadistic when he's at his most angry.
* SeeTheInvisible: Polnareff pulls this off against Vanilla Ice in their fight in the OVA and the manga/anime. In the OVA, he lures him to a large pool of water in the courtyard and smashes open a nearby fountain to produce a spray of water and mist that reveals the previously-invisible Cream void's location. In the manga/anime, he disperses Iggy's sand through the room to achieve a similar effect.
* SpottingTheThread: Was initially fooled by Iggy's fake sand DIO. However, the sneak attack failed because while DIO would complain about the racket from the top of the stairs, he wouldn't come down to the second floor where sunlight can come through.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: [[{{WildMassGuessing}} Was he a stripper?]]
* TheStoic: An emotionless being [[NotSoStoic unless you make him hurt DIO in any way]].
* ThemeNaming: Vanilla ''Ice'', ''Ice''d, Cool ''Ice''. The man is indeed cold as ice in all of the names he's known by. Ironically his power has nothing to do with ice or the cold -- which instead goes to [[FeatheredFiend Pet Shop]] and his [[EvilIsDeathlyCold Horus]] Stand -- but arguably the concept of "void" is one that sucks up heat.
* ThereWasADoor: In his zeal to dispatch Jotaro and his allies after being resurrected by DIO, Vanilla Ice immediately sets Cream into void mode and charges after them, in the process obliterating part of the wall. A probably mildly-annoyed DIO asks, [[DeadpanSnarker "Couldn't you use the door?"]].
* TomatoInTheMirror: He doesn't realize DIO had turned him into a vampire until he was moments away from being destroyed by sunlight.
* UndignifiedDeath: For how terrifying and powerful a villain he is, Vanilla Ice gets undone by this in both the manga/anime and OVA; albeit in very different fashions. In the former, he gets two of his limbs burned away by sunlight, leaving him [[VillainousBreakdown petulantly ranting and raving at Polnareff for it]] -- and insulting DIO in the process -- before being [[CherryTapping lightly bumped by Silver Chariot]] into a light beam that burns him alive. In the latter, Vanilla Ice instead gets stabbed thousands of times by Silver Chariot's rapier before [[RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain having his brain cut out]], leaving his mutilated corpse to slump to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
* UndyingLoyalty: His most defining characteristic, to the point that he literally decapitates himself on the spot with a bucket on hand to provide his master with blood.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: His Stand's power, able to erase whatever is contact with it, made worse in that it is invisible; the strikes are sudden and unavoidable unless you manage to find a method to trace its path. Thankfully, the only other downside is that he can't see either, [[UnskilledButStrong forcing him to attack blindly]].
* UrExample: His Stand, Music/{{Cream}}, is the very first Stand in the series that follows the musician/band/song/album-themed naming convention for all Stands after ''Stardust Crusaders''.
** It's also the first Stand to have an explicitly esoteric and unorthodox power that doesn't fit the criteria of physical body manipulation/elemental control like most of the previous Stands in the Part, something future Stands in succeeding parts would emulate.
* VillainousBreakdown: He loses all semblance of composure when he realizes that DIO's blood turned him into a vampire and granted him everything that goes with it; including the weakness to sunlight that Polnareff and Silver Chariot use to cripple and then kill him.
-->'''Vanilla Ice:''' Wha-What's HAPPENING TO ME?! [...] YOU BASTARD! '''YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BEAT ME!'''
* VillainRespect: In the Anime and Manga, he gives this posthumously to [[spoiler:Avdol]]. When he believes his fight with Polnareff and Iggy has come to an end, he muses that [[spoiler:Avdol could have easily saved himself but instead sacrificed himself to save his friends. For that reason, he attributes the significant injuries he's taken to Avdol, rather than the other two stand users. Averted in the OVA, where he instead [[SpeakIllOfTheDead mocks Avdol's sacrifice]] (see EvilGloating) and tries to [[BreakingSpeech guilt-trip Polnareff with said knowledge]] before telling him that he should [[KickTheDog "die as he regrets his own stupidity"]].]]
* VillainousValor: He's got a hell of a lot of devotion to DIO, and takes a ridiculous amount of punishment in his fight with Polnareff and Iggy. Downplayed in the second case once it's revealed that it's his newfound vampirism that's mostly been keeping him alive, ''not'' sheer determination.
* WakeUpCallBoss: After several of DIO's Stand users proved either being utterly incompetent or only a threat until their weakness was found out, Vanilla Ice marks the shift into the darker climax with DIO by immediately killing Avdol [[CruelAndUnusualDeath by erasing him with his stand so the man couldn't come back again]], proceeded to fatally wound Iggy, and almost killed Polnareff until the former's intervention.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In the OVA and ''Heritage for the Future'', he has white hair instead of his usual brown.

->''"Can I at least ask you one thing? How the hell did you know the other Stand users used to call me Nukesaku?"''

One of DIO's minions and a vampire. Commonly assumed to be a Stand user, as he is able to disguise himself as a woman using a face on the back of his head, but Araki has clarified that this is not a Stand ability.

* AscendedExtra:
** Since Vanilla Ice was made to be a DLC character in ''All-Star Battle'', DIO's Mansion's stage hazard is instead good ol' Nukesaku.
** DownplayedTrope, but in the anime, Nukesaku, like Pet Shop, replaces a generic minion in a flashback.
* ButtMonkey: Treated like crap by the heroes and his own allies alike. Even Kenny G., who gets curb-stomped by Iggy, has no respect for him.
* DubNameChange: He's referred to as "Loser" in the English dub, mostly because the "Nukesaku" gag doesn't really work in English. It's also a possible reference to the Music/{{Beck|Musician}} song of the same name.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Japanese for "idiot" -- it isn't his real name, but it's the only one we know him by. He even asks how Jotaro knew everyone called him an idiot after being referred to as such.[[note]][[HowDidYouKnowIDidnt He didn't.]][[/note]]
* {{Gonk}}: He's comically short, ugly and big-headed.
* {{Guyliner}}: As is almost uniform with ''[=JoJo=]'' vampires.
* JokeCharacter: Nukesaku is briefly PromotedToPlayable in ''Heritage for the Future'', as a transformation of DIO when he is hit by Alessi's [[FountainOfYouth Sethan]] Stand. Instead of transforming, DIO temporarily switches Nukesaku in, and he's just as weak as you'd expect; his moves consist almost entirely of flailing on the ground and scared gestures, and his vocalisations are all panicky whining.
* MeaningfulName: ''Twofold.'' His original name, Nukesaku, means "idiot". He honestly believed that a group who'd been fighting off DIO's assassins all the way to Egypt wouldn't cotton on to his ploy, especially since he forgot to turn his hands around to complete the illusion. His dub name, Loser, calls to mind the fact that Nukesaku lost out ''hard'' by being in Part 3. While his tricks might have made him at least somewhat menacing threat to the noble and gentlemanly [[WouldntHitAGirl Jonathan]], Jotaro has no such reservations. On top of that, his vampire powers are so behind the curve with Stands in play that even ''DIO'' doesn't use them anymore; and even compared to DIO's vampire powers in Part 1, Nukesaku's fall short. He can't drastically change his body temperature, and he can't use EyeBeams like DIO and Straizo. Power-wise, he's more in line with a zombie than a vampire, and zombies haven't been a threat in a long time.
* MultipleHeadCase: Apparently. When Joseph, Jotaro, and Kakyoin run into him, they find he has a head on each end, one male, one female. If this was part of his power or really the case isn't known.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Even amongst [=JoJo=] Vampires, he counts. For one, he's probably the only vampire in the series to have a face on the back of his ''head'', and can turn his own body backwards to make himself look like a defenseless girl. Possibly justified, given DIO's tendency to [[MixAndMatchCritters "experiment"]] on his undead creations.
* RecurringElement: Like Doobie and Wired Beck before him, Nukesaku is an undead character introduced near the end of his part only to get more or less instantly defeated for the reader's amusement.
* SacrificialLamb: Once he's brought dead to rights, the heroes force Nukesaku to take them to and then open DIO's coffin. It goes about as well for him as you would expect.
* {{Shapeshifter}}: A really, ''really'' bad one. He got the shit beat out of him by Jotaro because his "disguise" is just a woman's face on the back of his head. His hands are, logically, upside down.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He claims that his power is invincible in disbelief when his disguise is exposed.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: In direct comparison to the outright terror that is Vanilla Ice, Nukesaku seems to be one of ''the'' weakest minions in DIO's service. Notably, he's the only known minion in the entire group who doesn't have a Stand. At one point, we even see ''[[PaperTiger Kenny G.]]'' making fun of him.
* TooDumbToLive: There's a reason why [[UnfortunateNames his name means]] ''[[UnfortunateNames idiot]]''. After failing to trick the heroes with an obvious WoundedGazelleGambit, he then reluctantly follows their orders, which involves betraying his boss, thereby getting himself killed.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Attempted it by trying to turn his body into that of a girl and claiming "she" was a victim of DIO's. Joseph, Jotaro and Kakyoin see right through him instantly since the idiot forgot to actually put his body the right way.

Holly Kujo's Japanese husband and the father of Jotaro. He's a famous jazz musician always on tour, and that's basically all there is to know about him. Because he caused Holly to move away from her father in America, Joseph hates his guts.

* BadassOnPaper: With regards to Joseph's opinion of him. He's made a great career out of music and has been successful and well-to-do just like his father-in-law Joseph. But he's also an absentee father and Joseph thinks of him very lowly for whisking away his only daughter to Japan and giving birth to a son who took the path of delinquency.
* DisappearedDad: He's always tied up with his career as a musician, so he doesn't show up. Nothing suggests his family [[WhenYouComingHomeDad holds this against him]] because Holly knew what she was getting into and Sadao [[HappilyMarried definitely loves her]], and she and her son can look after themselves just fine and have kin to come to their aid as well.
* TheGhost: He never actually appears in the series because his career is mostly irrelevant to the story.
* HistoryRepeats: His complete absence from the plot is the second time a father has been glossed over in the story in favor of jumping ahead two generations in the Joestar lineage by showcasing their child's adventures as the designated "[=JoJo=]", after George Joestar II. At least in the latter's case, he got some exposure in a side novel and made an actual appearance. Sadao only gets passing mentions at best. The again, unlike George II he's not even a Joestar, as Holly was the only child born into the family in that generation and he only married in.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He met Holly while on tour and they started dating, but [[DatingWhatDaddyHates their relationship made Joseph uneasy because he disapproved of Sadao's lifestyle]]. When it led to marriage, his career led Holly to go live in his homeland of Japan, which ''outraged'' Joseph because it meant his daughter would be moving far away from America, which caused him to accuse Sadao of taking his daughter away from him and caused him to develop an [[BerserkButton outstanding]] [[DisproportionateRetribution grudge]] against all things Japanese.

Polnareff's little sister who was raped and murdered by J. Geil before the events of Part 3.
----
* BackFromTheDead: Polnareff tries to wish her back to life using Judgement's power, but in a cruel subversion, he's a JerkassGenie who creates a clay doll in Sherry's image born from feelings in Polnareff's heart, who seems to be the real deal, but is actually monstrous. The duplicate suddenly lunges at him and tries to consume his flesh claiming it will complete her body. The right side of her face is also grotesque, and is revealed after several misleading shots of her from the right-hand profile). The fact that she is "reborn" naked and from the earth when Polnareff says his sister is buried back in France is a warning sign things don't add up. Eventually Polnareff forces himself to acknowledge that this monstrosity is a fake and destroys it using Silver Chariot's sword. He and Avdol seek out Cameo to punish him accordingly for manipulating Polnareff.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: When revived as a clay clone, along with some GodivaHair to cover her up.
* BodyHorror: When she is created as a clay clone by Cameo, the right side of her face is grotesque, despite her beautiful appearance before that was revealed.
* CynicismCatalyst: Clear-cut example. She's Polnareff's motivation to join the quest to defeat DIO because J. Geil is one of DIO's henchmen. Sherry went out one day with a new umbrella as a gift from her big brother but met J. Geil on the way home during a storm., and the rain appeared to bounce off a dome around him. Sherry's friend that was with her was cut down but survived the attack, while poor Sherry was butchered. Polnareff would learn the truth from her friend, believing what no one else could due to the supernatural nature of Stands and possessing one of his own and realizing that another Stand user had to be the culprit, training for 3 years to exact his {{revenge}}.
* FanDisservice: We get to have a look at her naked, when she was "revived" by Cameo. She looks absolutely ''gorgeous''... [[BodyHorror until she shows her grotesque eye]] and [[ImAHumanitarian pounces on Polanreff, eating his flesh in order to make hers grow back]]. [[SlasherSmile In the anime, she also makes some pretty disturbing expressions while attacking her brother.]]
* FullFrontalAssault: When she is "resurrected" and attacks Polnareff, she is nude.
* ImAHumanitarian: Begins feasting on Polnareff when brought back as a zombie.
* InnocentBlueEyes: They stand out in the photo Polnareff has of her. However, it becomes subverted when she returns as a nude zombie, showing that something is amiss.
* LecherousLicking: Only in the manga. She does it right as she's about to pounce on Polnareff.
* MusicalThemeNaming: Her name is likely a reference to one of Michel Polnareff's songs, "Tout, tout pour ma chérie".
* MsFanservice: It's played straight when she appears naked looking quite gorgeous, then averted when she reveals her BodyHorror.
* NakedOnRevival: She appears nude when brought back to life by Cameo. She looks stunning except for her grotesque right eye.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: She's a golem that was born from the ground in order to fool Polnareff so Cameo could kill him easier.
* PosthumousCharacter: Slain before the events of Part 3.

A kind woman who takes care of Polnareff after he's de-aged into a child by Alessi's Sethan.
----
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Turning her into a fetus outside the womb should have killed her instantly, but Polnareff manages to keep her alive by wrapping her in a blanket until Alessi can be defeated.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: She's fairly busty and Polnareff can't help but get distracted by her cleavage when she's taking care of him.
* FountainOfYouth: After being attacked by Sethan, she is de-aged into a fetus, forcing Polnareff to keep her safe and fend off Alessi at the same time.
* MsFanservice: She is very pretty, and there are a few shots of her wearing a loose sundress. When Alessi de-aged into a fetus she [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing loses all her clothing]], so when she turns back to her normal adult self, she's naked save for the ModestyTowel that Polnareff wrapped her in to keep her safe.

->''"I've destroyed every enemy who's ever stood in my way, and someday, I'll become President! I'm ''the'' Senator Wilson Phillips, damn it!"''

A United States Senator who happens to be in Cairo during the night of DIO's rampage. Named after the band [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_Phillips Wilson Phillips]].
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the OVA, Wilson comes off as a lot nicer and less of an AssholeVictim; genuinely attempting to strike up a friendly conversation with DIO -- at least, up until he attacks him -- apologises for accidentally hitting him with his car and his chauffeur's rudeness despite the vampire breaking his arm, and [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished offers him a handful of bills to pay for a cab home]] once he's made sure that DIO isn't hurt. Needless to say, having it all turned back on him afterward makes his fate one ''hell'' of a lot more frightening and sad.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After being forced to slaughter innocent people with his car, he flat-out begs DIO to let him stop and spare him. When DIO tells him he intends on neither, it's at this point [[LaughingMad Phillips completely snaps]].
* BadassBoast: In the manga and anime, Phillips makes a surprisingly powerful one in his head about how he got to his position and his intentions in life when DIO initially attacks him. When he actually tries to do it, [[ShutUpKirk DIO breaks his nose before he can even finish the first sentence]].
-->'''Phillips:''' ''(thinking to himself)'' Yeah... ThisIsUnforgivable No one gets away with doing something like ''this'' to me. I was valedictorian in both high school ''and'' college, not to mention captain of the college wrestling team! Even after graduation, people respected me. ''That's'' why I became a politician! I own a villa on a thousand-acre plot of land in Hawaii! My gorgeous model of a wife is twenty-five years younger than me, and I pay more taxes than anyone else! I've destroyed every enemy who's ever stood in my way, and someday, I'll become President! I'm ''the'' Senator Wilson Phillips, damn it!\\
'''Phillips:''' ''(speaking)'' Listen to me, [[RummageSaleReject you punk-band reject]]! I'm gonna make sure you rot in prison for the rest of your miserable-- ''(DIO breaks his nose)''
* CoolCar: Has one in both versions of ''Part 3'', but are different in each. In the OVA, it's a white Rolls Royce with gold trim, and a black Cadillac in the manga and anime. Both of which are chauffeur-driven, and [[ThePreciousPreciousCar even DIO takes a few moments to admire]] before he gets in. Sadly, both of them get completely totalled after DIO forces Phillips to drive through crowds of innocent civilians on the sidewalks, and eventually crashing them.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Phillips is not used to driving himself, and is always chauffeured as a result. Naturally, when DIO forces him to drive to catch up with the Joestar Group, Phillips is a complete lunatic driver, and that's without DIO forcing him to drive on the sidewalk and murder every pedestrian in his path.
* FacialHorror: Before DIO forces Phillips to commit mass murder, the vampire [[TheToothHurts rips out the Senator's top incisors]] when he attempts to make conversation with him, and then breaks his nose when he attempts to stand up to him afterward.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: In the manga and anime, he's used as a human projectile by DIO to knock the car that Joseph and Kakyoin were pursuing them in off-course.
* HiddenDepths: Wilson's BadassBoast above covers a lot of details about the things he's done in life; including being captain of his college wrestling team, owning a villa in a thousand-acre plot of land in Hawaii, and marrying a supermodel who's twenty-five years younger than him.
* InTheDreamingStageOfGrief: When he asks DIO to spare him because he did as he was told and the latter replies with a simple no, he starts to think it's all a terrible nightmare he's having.
* LaughingMad: As he [[SanitySlippage breaks more and more under DIO's abuse]], he devolves into mad laughter.
* MayDecemberRomance: If his BadassBoast is anything to be believed, then his wife is a supermodel who's twenty-five years his junior.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In the OVA. When DIO gets into his car after being hit by it -- and then breaking the driver's arm when he tells DIO off for admiringly running his hand along the car afterward -- Phillips attempts to strike up a friendly conversation with the vampire; apologising for his driver's rudeness and [[PetTheDog offering DIO a handful of banknotes to pay for a cab home]]. It doesn't work, leading up to [[TheFarmerAndTheViper DIO violently assaulting him and forcing him to go on a killing spree]], but props to the man for trying.
* RailroadTracksOfDoom: In the OVA, Phillips dies when he, [[SanitySlippage in his fit of insanity]], accidentally drives into a level crossing right as a freight train is passing through them. His car gets struck at full speed, causing a fiery explosion that crashes the train and kills him pretty much instantly.
* SacrificialLamb: His role is mostly to show DIO's horrifying charisma and ruthlessness in action, and dies relatively quickly.
* SanitySlippage: He loses his marbles completely soon after being forced by DIO to drive through a sidewalk filled with people, ramming through a lot of them in the way.
* SmallNameBigEgo: A normal person in a world full of outrageous superpowers who pretty much sees himself as immortal because of his position in society.
* TheToothHurts: DIO tears out his top incisors when he nonchalantly greets him.
* UnclePennybags: Wilson may be big-headed, but nobody can say he's not a nice guy.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Although his wife is never seen, she's explicitly stated to be a supermodel, whereas Phillips is a stubby man who can sometimes pull off some {{Gonk}}ish facial expressions.

** Establishes one with Boingo in ''Heritage for the Future'', which doubles as an IntergenerationalFriendship.

* FatalFlaw: Realistically speaking, Hol Horse has one of the most broken Stands in the series, as it gives him a clear advantage over other Stands that are often inhibited by short ranges. The only thing that stops him from utilizing Emperor to its fullest extent is that he's too reckless, needing to rely on a partner to get the job done.

* VillainousUnderdog: While prior Parts tended to have the villains be superior to the protagonists in terms of raw strength, the majority of the Tarot and Glory Gods take a different spin: the ''heroes'' are the ones who are overall stronger. With the exception of Hermit Purple and arguably The Fool, all of the Joestar Group have Stands that are powerful and versatile, backing up solid-to-excellent physical abilities with unique tricks. Meanwhile, the villains tend to have stands that are specialized (Dark Blue Moon loses most of its effectiveness when not near water, Death 13 can only operate in a dream world), cumbersome (Ebony Devil requires the user to take serious harm before it activates, Osiris and Atum only take effect after beating the opponent in a game), or weak (Lovers is microscopic with strength to match, Khnum and Tohth have no offensive applications whatsoever). Even stronger Stands like The Sun and Yellow Temperance are held back by [[PowerfulButIncompetent their users being idiots]]. This is such that, whenever it comes down to an actual one-on-one fair fight, the heroes will basically always win. The villains are considered dangerous because in nearly every case, they have surprise, [[HomeFieldAdvantage favorable circumstances]], and foreknowledge of the heroes' strengths and weaknesses. This effectively turns each fight into a PuzzleBoss where the heroes have to figure out what the villain is up to and how to force the fight off the villain's terms and onto theirs, at which point the battle is decided. When this trope is averted and the villain seems to be on par with or superior to the Joestar Group in a straight fight (N'Doul, Pet Shop, Vanilla Ice, DIO), that usually means things are about to go ''very'' badly.

* AdaptationalSkimpiness: She's far more scantily-clad in the video game adaptations, wearing an outfit heavily inspired by a Middle-Eastern BellyDancer.

** Not apparent [[TheFaceless in the manga]], but the video game shows that she's a beautiful woman in BellyDancer clothing.

* RetCanon: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged.]] Her BellyDancer design was sketched by Araki for ''Heritage for the Future'' because Capcom wanted to make her playable, but after the game's release, Araki grew so attached to it that whenever he made new drawings of Midler, particularly in the ''JOJO A-GO!GO!'' art book, he decided to keep using her official redesign. However, in the anime adaptation, she's reverted back to her [[TheFaceless faceless]], nondescript design from the manga.

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[WouldHurtAChild Hitting the kid]] whom he asked to strike his leg with a cane to demonstrate Lovers' powers was going a tad too far, but Dan was right to be mad that the kid hit him a ''second'' time without Dan telling him to.

* TarotMotifs: Possess a few traits of the Hanged Man. In a twisted sense, his teamwork with Hol Horse represents putting others first and waiting for a better opportunity, as he would wait for Hol Horse to set him up before attacking. When reversed, the Hanged Man can represent the inability to change, which goes to show that J. Geil is just as depraved as he was when he murdered Polnareff's sister. Finally, the card depicts a man hanging upside-down by his leg, and he dies in a similar fashion when Polnareff finally catches up to him and sends the bastard off to Hell.

* VillainousUnderdog: While prior Parts tended to have the villains be superior to the protagonists in terms of raw strength, the majority of the Tarot and Glory Gods take a different spin: the ''heroes'' are the ones who are overall stronger. With the exception of Hermit Purple and arguably The Fool, all of the Crusaders have Stands that are powerful and versatile, backing up solid-to-excellent physical abilities with unique tricks. Meanwhile the villains tend to have stands that are specialized (Dark Blue Moon loses most of its effectiveness when not near water, Death 13 can only operate in a dream world), cumbersome (Ebony Devil requires the user to take serious harm before it activates, Osiris and Atum only take effect after beating the opponent in a game), or weak (Lovers is microscopic with strength to match, Khnum and Tohth have no offensive applications whatsoever).

* StoryBreakerPower: Emperor is just as deadly as a real gun is, but it goes further with how Hol Horse is able to precisely control the trajectory of its bullets. In his first fight, he is even able to weave his bullets past Silver Chariot's sword. Due to how overpowered Emperor is, Hol Horse's subsequent appearances establish him as being an extremely poor shot.

* KickTheDog: [[Spoiler: Vanilla Ice uses the trope literally on Iggy, multiple times, after he makes him attack a sand statue that resembles DIO.]]

* TheDragon: Out of DIO's servants she seems to be his most trusted one, even serving as his confidant and the one who informed him of how Stands work and bestowing his own Stand upon him. [[spoiler:Then he decides Enya is a liability to be eliminated after her defeat to the Joestar group.]]

* TheDragon: Well, technically speaking, he shares this post with Telence and Kenny G. in terms of being a deadly blockade, but he's the only one we see showing absolute loyalty, to the point of immediately ''beheading himself'' in order to supply DIO with the blood he needs.

* UndyingLoyalty: The first of many to show complete devotion to DIO.

* UndyingLoyalty: Her ending in ''Heritage for the Future'' has her [[spoiler:voluntarily giving DIO her blood as a result of selling her soul to DIO]].

* MorphicResonance: The doll Ebony Devil possesses has brown ([[AdaptationDyeJob or green]]) eyes like him, and one of them is left bloodshot and damaged after Silver Chariot stabbed Devo's own eye.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: As said above, she's the last stand user that attacks the Joestar Group before they enter egypt, and is the FinalBoss of season 1 of the anime.

* TheDragon: To J. Geil.

* NakedOnArrival: She appears nude when brought back to life by Cameo. She looks stunning except for her grotesque right eye.

* MoralMyopia: Invoked by her. Polnareff killed her son, and that makes ''him'' the bad guy. The fact that J. Geil was practically a rapist and serial killer to begin with, having murdered an unknown number of girls before Sherry, is irrelevant to the calculations.
