It has a sub-Stand named Epitaph (named after the song on ''Music/InTheCourtOfTheCrimsonKing''), which allows him to see 10 seconds into the future.

For the better part of ''Golden Wind'', Diavolo hides in the shadows, with only his Stand King Crimson making the occasional appearance. However, it is not considered a sentient Stand.

Added DiffLines:
* AbsurdlyYouthfulFather: Doppio is technically Trish's father, but barely looks any older than her due to split-personality shenanigans involving him looking 17 and his "true" self being 33.
* AffablyEvil: A pleasant young man who's willing to help total strangers while also simultaneously working for one of the most brutal crime lords in Italy who is slowly poisoning the nation with illegal drugs, on top of being the SplitPersonality of that said crime boss.
* AlasPoorVillain: Doppio is left to die alone in Bucciarati's body to bleed out, waiting for his Boss to reassure him like always and begs for Diavolo to call him.
* AmnesiaLoop: Appears to be the case, and not even Diavolo's fault for once, because Doppio's memory is ridiculously faulty. For example, Diavolo warns Doppio of Risotto Nero, teaches him a strategy to fight him, tells him to investigate the house Donatella lived in, and then hangs up. Doppio then forgets ''in one panel'' that he had the phone conversation and every single order he was given except for the "get within two meters of Risotto and kill him" part. Later on, he sacrifices his current "phone" in order to get an attack in on Risotto, only to realize after his monologue he's phoneless... and again, in one panel, forgets his phone was destroyed and questions why there's a frog filled with razors right in front of him.
* AntiVillain: He'd probably be a pretty nice guy if he wasn't part of Passione and Diavolo's split personality.
* BerserkButton: Just like his Boss, he's not especially fond of having people figuring out his identity. The danger of it being revealed is what triggers his personality switching to Diavolo's.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: You may think he's not much judging by his quirky traits and overall timidness, but once Diavolo takes over he becomes violent and erratic. And even as Doppio, he has no qualms with killing people in cold blood.
* BodyHorror: When he uses Epitaph, the first time it manifests, the smaller face ''visibly grows out of Doppio's forehead''.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: During the Green Day & Oasis arc, he wears a white baseball cap with the letter "D" on it.
* BullyingADragon: Diavolo does not take kindly to those pressuring Doppio, and anyone trying to is in for a [[MuggingTheMonster nasty surprise]]; most notably of all, Diavolo appeared to be forcibly restraining himself from emerging when Secco attempted to take Doppio hostage, then slapped him; the only hint that he was about to turn at that time was his eyes, and his hairstyle slightly unseating itself.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: At least, to those around him. Whenever he "gets a call" from Diavolo, he practically falls into a trance, stumbling away with a blank expression as he imitates the sound of a phone ringing, only to snap back periodically and question where the noise is supposed to come from.
* CombatClairvoyance: Has a limited version of this granted to him by his boss. Epitaph's ability isn't complete; it can only see specific moments in time as opposed to King Crimson foreseeing everything that happens during the predicted time, and also lacks [=KC's=] ability to remove everyone's perception of the predicted time.
* TheComicallySerious: At one point he has a serious conversation with Diavolo about the traitors...while he's using ice cream as a phone.
* TheConsigliere: This is his official rank in Passione, meaning that he is second only to Diavolo himself. Even though he is fairly capable with a dangerous ability, he is an extremely unusual example of this trope as he appears relatively younger and more naive as opposed to the more hardened but lower-ranked members. What makes it even more unusual is that since Doppio is a split personality of Diavolo, this means that Diavolo in effect served as ''his own Consigliere.''
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite being a bit of an idiot and an UnwittingPawn to his own SplitPersonality Doppio was able to cut of Risotto's foot and was able to take him on before Diavolo had to take over showing that he is more dangerous then he initially seems.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: In the colored manga, Doppio has pink hair to go with pink eyes. This is only ever played straight, however, when Doppio or Bucciarati control Diavolo's body.
* CuteAndPsycho: He's really scary when he's angry or when Diavolo hijacks the conversation.
* TheDragon: Played with in a few ways: His position is largely assumed and it's only likely that he's the underboss due to Diavolo's care. Although Giorno and his allies planned to overthrow Diavolo, they never targeted Doppio and his authority is never proven because he keeps away from other members of Passione. In fact, despite being one of the few who actually communicates with Diavolo, Risotto Nero had ''no idea'' who he was until Doppio accidentally revealed he was a Stand user. For the most part, he's just Diavolo's gopher. He also ''is'' Diavolo, but doesn't realize it.
* DualAgeModes: From 17-year old into 33-year old Diavolo.
* DubNameChange: In the Italian translation his first name is Aceto, which is actually Italian and is close to the actual Italian surname of "Aceti"[[note]]someone who sells or makes vinegar[[/note]].
* DyingAlone: Is shot and bleeds out waiting for the Boss to call him one last time.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Is the one who orders Squalo and Tiziano to move in on Bucciarati's group in the anime at the end of Episode 21.
* EdibleThemeNaming: "Vinegar", obviously. A "Doppio", on the other hand, is an espresso that by the use of a special coffee filter is twice the size of a regular "solo" espresso.
* EvilCounterpart: He is one to Trish. Both have a deep connection with their team's boss (Doppio to Diavolo, Trish to Bucciarati), have their Stands awakened in the middle of a heated battle with a member of La Squadra, and are central to Diavolo's plans to rid himself of his past. Both resort to disguise to get as far as they do: Trish initially disguises as a janitor before being handed off to Bucciarati's gang, while [[spoiler:Doppio ''[[SplitPersonality is]]'' the disguise for Diavolo to directly get rid of evidence (though Doppio himself is unaware of it).]] Additionally, they both can be considered Diavolo's family: Trish is this by blood, being his illegitimate daughter and all, while Doppio is a metaphorical "son", being mentored to a fault by Diavolo and [[spoiler:being "born" from his consciousness]]. He also resembles what little we see of Diavolo as a young man, giving him and Trish a few physical similarities.
* EyeColourChange: Whenever Diavolo takes over, his eyes go from Doppio's brown to Diavolo's green.
* FightingSpirit: {{Subverted}}. Not only does Doppio not really fight, nor is Epitaph that helpful in attacking, it's never defined as to whether his powers are his or if Diavolo owns King Crimson since Stands are originated from souls and he and Diavolo are two separate ones.
* FishEyes: On-and-off with Diavolo's eyes. This is usually a sign Diavolo is gazing out of Doppio's body and may or may not relate to how much of Doppio is being controlled by Diavolo.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Doppio shows protectiveness and affection for animals, including frogs and insects.
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Doppio's irises are pink (brown in the anime) by default. When Diavolo speaks through him or otherwise takes control, they become black (green in the anime) and broken.
** Even in their base form, in the anime, Doppio's eyes never once reflect light. This subtly hints that there's something wrong with him.
* HulkingOut: As Diavolo's right-hand man, he can "channel" King Crimson's powers to see a little bit into the future or to briefly boost his physical parameters (size, strength, etc).
* IWillFightSomeMoreForever: Done during the Risotto Nero fight when Doppio decides to stay and fight while figuring out how to counteract Metallica. Invoked when Diavolo [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere takes back his order to fight and begins yelling at Doppio to run]] and Doppio begins to ''purposefully ignore the advice.''
-->'''Diavolo:''' ''Doppio, get out of there! You're going to be attacked!''
-->'''Doppio:''' But boss... you said... It's better not to move because moving will drain me even more... So, if I don't move, it'll be easier for me... '''[[{{Determinator}} To find out]] [[SuicidalOverconfidence his ability!]]'''
* MadeOfIron: Pun unintended, but, during the Risotto fight he had scissors ''burst from his neck'' and he remained standing and willing to fight!
* MeaningfulName: "Doppio" is Italian for double, which Doppio essentially is to Diavolo.
* MoodSwinger: Doppio can go from submissive and cowardly to violent and vicious in a short matter of time, making him a rather unpredictable person.
* MoralityPet: Probably the only person Diavolo shows any degree of affection too, and he shows a sense of protectiveness whenever Doppio is in trouble. Though considering that they're one and the same person, it could be chalked up to PragmaticVillainy out of self-preservation.
* MuggingTheMonster: Apart from being commonplace in Doppio's life, something Diavolo does try to fix on occasion, Risotto Nero's battle came down to this and Secco randomly chose him to become his hostage as a last-ditch effort.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: He's a nice person, but the Boss' orders come before anything else. He very likely would have spared the fortune teller he met in his introductory arc had the poor guy not kept prying deeper and deeper into Doppio's true nature.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Unlike his alter-ego who is ObviouslyEvil from the get go, Doppio comes off to both the cast and the audience as too silly and mild-mannered to be a threat, let alone a dangerous mafioso. Which is exactly what Diavolo wants.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite looking to be around the protagonists' age, he's actually the SplitPersonality of Diavolo, who is around thirty-three. Many theorize their ages look so different because Doppio is what Diavolo looked like when he was 17–19 and, being a split personality, stopped aging at that point for one reason or another.
* PetTheDog: Normally whenever he needs to take a "call" from Diavolo he will frantically search for the closest "phone" and react violently to anyone near it, accusing them of stealing his "phone" and chase them away. The one time this isn't the case though is when he uses a toy phone on a plane that belongs to a little girl. After he finishes with it, he gives it back to her, thanking her for letting him use it and apologizing for hogging it.
* PlotArmor: Doppio had been on the verge of death two times, once by Risotto Nero and another by Bucciarati. For Risotto, it was just by luck that he had manipulated Narancia's Stand, and for Bucciarati, it was by luck he was mistaken for a civilian and then pressumed to be Trish. It was the second instance that got Diavolo close to Polnareff in the final battle as well. It gets revoked when he gets body swapped due to Chariot Requiem, in which he is then shot and bleeds out not long after.
* PreachersKid: After being born in a women's prison, he/Diavolo was raised by a priest in his mother's hometown of Sardinia.
* ProphecyTwist: Doppio cannot manipulate the future like Diavolo does. If he predicts himself being seriously wounded, the best he can do is brace for impact and try to mitigate the damage. However, there are also times he has ambiguous visions that he is able to turn on his favor.
* PunnyName: Going back on the espresso meaning, to become Diavolo, Doppio ''doubles'' in size.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Played with. Doppio is generally a kind person and willing to help total strangers, who would probably be a straight-up NiceGuy if he wasn't the split personality of a psychotic mafia boss.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: When he gets a "phone call" from Diavolo, he'll make a ringing noise by going "Dorurururururu..."
* {{Seers}}: The power of Epitaph is that it allows the user to see 10 seconds into the future, with all events [[YouCantFightFate being fated to happen]], but the user can still plan accordingly. Doppio is only granted Epitaph, meaning he has to physically plan out his course of action within the next 10 seconds.
* SeriousBusiness: He can get aggressively intense if he thinks people are preventing him from answering phone calls from Diavolo. Mostly out of loyalty, but partially out of fear.
* ShoePhone: Parodied. Doppio's main form of communication with his boss is supposedly his cell phone. But when it breaks, he starts grabbing random objects and treating them like phones, going so far as to make [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud ring tone noises]] himself, while being completely unaware that he's the one making those noises. Among the objects Doppio has used as phones include car charms, toy phones, and frogs. Despite this, Doppio ''is'' able to communicate with the Boss by using these random objects as phones; presumably the only reason this seems to work is because the Boss is his split personality.
* SlipknotPonytail: Played with. Doppio's hair is mostly pinned back in a very elaborate braid or tied back with a scrunchie and, while it doesn't come undone while fighting Risotto, somehow it becomes undone with the simple action of removing his sweater.
* SplitPersonality: To Diavolo, who acts as his SuperPoweredEvilSide.
* TechnicolorEyes: In ''All-Star Battle'', on the other hand, Player 1 colors have Doppio with orange eyes to contrast the purple. His eyes are dulled down into brown in the anime.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Diavolo. Makes sense, seeing how they're the same person, but even when they're in separate bodies does Doppio remain ever loyal to Diavolo. Even when they're not in the same body and Doppio is bleeding out, he's still rooting for Diavolo to win.
* TheUnfought: Doppio isn't ever fought by the heroes, apart having battled Risotto, he has a chance encounter with Bucciarati and Polnareff.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Averted. People who see Doppio talking to himself in these "phones" react like any normal person would.
* VillainProtagonist: Though Doppio's fight with Risotto Nero is a [[EvilVersusEvil villain vs. villain affair]], it's structured from the perspective of Doppio. Doppio fulfills the typical hero role of being outmatched at first and trying to figure out his opponent's Stand ability alongside the audience.
* VoicesAreMental: Played with, since Diavolo technically can alter how any part of Doppio looks and may not just be external.
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that both he and Diavolo are in fact one and the same person is a major spoiler.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Unlike Diavolo, Doppio is kind to children; he saves a boy from getting hit by a car and politely gives a toy phone back to a little girl after he's finished using it to communicate with his alter-ego (which is notable because he usually gets violent towards people holding his "phones").
* WrongContextMagic: No other character like him and Diavolo exists in the [=JoJo=] universe, with two separate souls and two Stands that have inhabited the same body from birth.
* YouthfulFreckles: Doppio somehow manifests them whenever Diavolo shifts over to him. And neither Diavolo nor Trish have freckles.

* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that both he and Diavolo are in fact one and the same person is a major spoiler.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Unlike Diavolo, Doppio is kind to children; he saves a boy from getting hit by a car and politely gives a toy phone back to a little girl after he's finished using it to communicate with his alter-ego (which is notable because he usually gets violent towards people holding his "phones").
* WrongContextMagic: No other character like him and Diavolo exists in the [=JoJo=] universe, with two separate souls and two Stands that have inhabited the same body from birth.
* YouthfulFreckles: Doppio somehow manifests them whenever Diavolo shifts over to him. And neither Diavolo nor Trish have freckles.

->''"It's peered through time to trace your trajectory... The trajectory of your future self! When King Crimson wields its extraordinary power, time as we know it flits away and all memories formed therein completely cease to exist. Clouds are torn asunder and know not why. The flickering flame is blotted away without any consciousness of its demise. All that remains are consequences. The omnipotence of my time-obliterating powers renders all action futile! Only I have the ability to respond to these actions! I can foretell the exact flavor of your intentions! Now feel the power of King Crimson!"''
King Crimson (named after Music/KingCrimson), can erase, or "skip" time -- it eliminates a section of time from anywhere between .5 to 10 seconds, during which Diavolo is completely immune to attacks. It has a sub-Stand named Epitaph (named after the song on ''Music/InTheCourtOfTheCrimsonKing''), which allows him to see 10 seconds into the future.

For the better part of ''Golden Wind'', Diavolo hides in the shadows, with only his Stand King Crimson making the occasional appearance. However, it is not considered a sentient Stand.

* SplitMindSplitPowers: While Diavolo has full access to King Crimson and Epitaph, Doppio is only given free reign over the latter and limited use of the former (which excludes its signature time-erasing ability).

* KnightOfCerebus: While ''Golden Wind'' already plays itself more seriously than the previous parts and was never lighthearted to begin with, it is the introduction of Diavolo, his true personality, motives and the depths of his depravity halfway through that marks as a significant turning point for the much darker second half of the storyline. Also, unlike DIO, Kars and Kira before him, Diavolo has no darkly comedic traits or hamminess going on for him and he is played completely seriously.

* GutturalGrowler: In the English Dub, courtesy of Kellen Goff. When Diavolo is enraged, his smooth baritone will drop to a growling tone, as if he's a stone's throw away from a particularly bad psychotic breakdown ([[HairTriggerTemper which he is]]).

* PragmaticVillainy: For the most part, Diavolo's grasp of the VillainBall leads him away from this trope where a number of situations with simple solutions are ignored for more involved violent ones. That said there's a number of times where he tries his hand at this. Though he thinks Cioccolata is trash, it's easy to understand why sending him out is only a last-minute resort, as the sheer amount of casualties Cioccolata can rack up would attract far too much attention (that and he's well aware of Cioccolata's [[TheStarscream treacherous streak]]). There's also the fact that he cut a fair deal with the Narcotics Team, a powerful group of Stand users in their own right, rather than fighting them and taking the operation for himself. When it comes to his own conduct, he does try to avoid killing innocents unless he feels it's unavoidable, if at the least to not draw attention to himself. For example, a maid suddenly came into his hotel room to clean, not knowing he was there. Rather than kill her, he just erased time, gathered his things, and left. Likewise, when he killed a fortune teller, that was mostly due to said teller not backing off when he had the chance. A kid witnessed the murder but Diavolo didn't bother going after him.

That said there's a number of times where he tries his hand at this. He offers Bruno a chance to walk away from confronting him before the fight starts, if only because he feels Bruno has proven himself useful enough for potential assignments in the future. Doesn't stop him from killing the man, however.

* AdaptationalBadass: The [=PS2=] game's version of the final battle has Diavolo actually put up a decent fight against Giorno and Gold Experience Requiem. He still ultimately meets [[FateWorseThanDeath his fate]], but it's not an utter [[CurbstompBattle stomp]] like the manga version is.

He still ultimately meets [[FateWorseThanDeath his fate]], but it's not an utter [[CurbstompBattle stomp]] like the manga version is. A very subtle example that is unique to the [=PS2=] game is that Diavolo is willing to hit opponents using his own fists when he fights. In the anime and games such as VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle and VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven, all of Diavolo's attacks involve King Crimson hitting the opponent.

* TrickedOutTime: King Crimson's primary ability is to "erase" time up to eleven seconds. In this period, every action and event that takes place has no effect on Diavolo and no one else retains any memory of the time interval. Think of it as similar to watching a video and skipping ahead to a further time frame; all the events in between still happen, but only Diavolo perceives them, while to everyone else, it looks like time skipped forward a few seconds, and the results of all intermediate actions happen instantaneously. This means Diavolo can never be harmed under any circumstance, while from his opponents perspective, it looks like TeleportSpam since Diavolo can use this time to disappear and reappear at will -- except everyone else teleports along with him. For the longest time, the full rammifications of King Crimson's powers were hard to discern in the manga, requiring the anime to properly display it's abilities in a clear and consice manner.

* DirtyCoward: Diavolo is a man driven by fear and paranoia. He believes that the past, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can be used against someone. As such, he does everything he can to protect his identity and preserve his anonymity, including trying to kill his own child.
