02Appearance
In the video game, Caineghis appears as a man with an athletic build and dark pink lipstick. He has long dark hair with a large, wavy bang covering his right eye, which is presumably missing given his epithet. He has a small iris in his left eye and lacks eyebrows. Caineghis is shirtless but wears a chainmail coif around his neck, metal strips on his shoulders, and fishnet sleeves on his upper arms. On the center of his pants is a gold emblem with " DIO " engraved on it.↗
03Personality
His personality in the manga is unknown, as he was only mentioned. In the video game, Caineghis tends to be in a hunched over posture while fighting. He is described in the game's Profile Mode as a knight who, contrary to his position, prefers to use the most underhanded solutions possible due to his perverse personality. Based on his quotes, he seems to be sadistic.↗↗

06Behind the Character
According to Yusuke Sasaki, a producer from Bandai Namco Games, Caineghis was initially designed by their staff. They asked Hirohiko Araki to take a look at him, who then made corrections.↗↗
The three knights were added in the final battle of the game because the game producer thought Wang Chan wouldn't be a good final boss if he remained completely accurate to the story. However, he didn't want to completely stray away from JoJo's story, so Araki gave him various ideas.↗↗
