Blackmore

Blackmore is introduced as one of Funny Valentine 's subordinates.↗

A Traitor in Kansas City

In Kansas City, Blackmore is summoned to Valentine's office and the two discuss their course of action. Receiving reports of Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli going missing, Valentine questions why the balloons cannot follow these two and his assistant argues that it is still difficult to follow someone with a balloon.↗

Valentine then wonders if Steven Steel is being uncooperative, though he cannot dispose of him yet. Unbeknownst to him, he's being spied on by Lucy from the other side of the street.↗

Valentine spots a feather coming out of under the cage and sees the pigeon flying away. Blackmore retrieves the pigeon by walking on the rain with his Catch the Rainbow ability but the capsule it carries is empty. Someone has stolen Ringo's Message. However, Blackmore guesses that the thief is not a Stand user since they wouldn't have hidden under the aviary. Moreover, Blackmore theorizes that the thief has infiltrated the government.↗

Blackmore sticks to his theory and decides to have the phone in the office the security broke in checked. He leaves, notably seeing Steven Steel receiving a second lunch box from his wife Lucy Steel. The trail of the phone call leads him to Mountain Tim.↗

Checking Tim's corpse, Blackmore sees that a part of his clothes are particularly wet and that he was holding someone. Recalling Steel's lunch boxes, Blackmore realizes that Lucy Steel is the traitor. Rushing to her apartments, Blackmore is only told that she left suddenly and he gives chases through the storm.↗

Pursuing Lucy Steel

Blackmore eventually catches up to Lucy Steel. Asking her if she can see his mask, which is a Stand, Blackmore confirms that she isn't a Stand user and lets his guard down. He takes the spine from Lucy and reaches a telephone pole, trying to call the President.↗

Blackmore is briefly tempted to keep the spine for himself. However, a spatial anomaly transports them further from Kansas City, cutting off the telephone line. At this point, Jesus Christ appears to Blackmore for a moment. Blackmore is ecstatic but his moment is cut short when Lucy shoots Blackmore in the throat and escapes toward Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar.↗

Blackmore eventually finds Lucy with Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar. Gyro and Johnny attack but the immobile rain drops deflect the projectiles. Moreover, the raindrops pierced Gyro's arm the moment he moved it.↗

Blackmore ignores the Ball to try and stab Lucy with a rain blade, but doesn't see that it keeps spinning. Through friction, it evaporates the raindrop, causing the agent to be hit in the head. Defeated, Blackmore's Catch the Rainbow stops and he succumbs from previous bullet wounds.↗

Personality

However, his mission towards the Corpse Parts excites himself greatly and he even becomes exalted when he feels the presence of Jesus Christ.↗

Usually obedient to Valentine, he falls to a brief temptation to take the Corpse for himself but regains his senses after being shot, ultimately deeming that Valentine is the worthiest of them all.↗
