Cioccolata

Background

A young Cioccolata was constantly at the top of his class. When he was fourteen years old, he volunteered to take care of bedridden elderly people and received a commendation from the town mayor himself. In truth, however, Cioccolata did not actually take care of the elderly at all. Instead, he intentionally fed them unhygienic food and illegal drugs, and would then whisper into their ears about how no one would visit them and other emotionally destructive things.↗

Cioccolata eventually became a surgeon, continuing his crimes on unwitting patients. There were at least four cases in which Cioccolata misdiagnosed people to perform surgery on them but also would mess up the dose of anesthetic so that they would wake up mid-operation. Two years before the events of Vento Aureo, Cioccolata killed one of his patients. He was caught and sacked, but his deliberate murder was nonetheless mistaken as an accident.↗

The anime implies that he, alongside Secco, was the one to brutally cut Sorbet of La Squadra Esecuzioni into pieces while a helpless and captured Gelato choked on his gag.↗

At the coastal Village

Secco and Cioccolata were deployed by the Boss as a last resort to intercept Team Bucciarati and eliminate them.↗

The pair positions themselves in a coastal village to intercept Team Bucciarati and Cioccolata spreads Green Day 's mold in the village, decimating its population. When Team Bucciarati arrives, they fall victim to the mold but quickly work out how it works and escape its initial trigger. Perched above their prey, Cioccolata is surprised by their resourcefulness and asks if Secco has filmed everything.↗

However, Secco then calls him and asks him if Green Day 's mold works on a corpse. Confused, Cioccolata can only answer that it would definitely work on any living being. Cioccolata is dismayed that Team Bucciarati has escaped Secco and is actually heading for Rome.↗

In Rome

Secco and Cioccolata board a helicopter, killing its pilot and eventually catching up to Team Bucciarati 's car in Rome. They throw the pilot's mold-ridden corpse, causing a crash. Cioccolata then keeps spreading the mold. When Mista shoots the helicopter, Secco comes out of the vessel to punch the bullets away and dives into the streets.↗

Giorno climbs up the helicopter. Cioccolata tries to ambush Giorno from behind with a karate chop. Gold Experience counters the first punch and the surgeon quickly dismembers himself even further to escape the punch. Cioccolata reveals that his surgical expertise allows him to rapidly and precisely dismember himself, using Green Day's mold to both animate the severed parts and prevent him from bleeding out.↗

The mad doctor collapses on the tree below, seemingly dead, while Giorno catches the edge of the roof and laboriously climbs up. While Giorno speaks, Cioccolata sneakily sends his arm towards Mista and also contacts Secco a second time, informing him of the team's objective and telling him to go to the Colosseum. Cioccolata awakens and shows that he's positioned his arm at Mista's throat.↗

Giorno admits that he was buying time with his talk, but not for Cioccolata's benefit; instead, he was waiting for Gold Experience's power to transform the bullet he shot into his enemy's head. Once it finished its evolution, the bullet-turned-beetle chewed its way through Cioccolata's brain, leaving him mortally wounded. When a stunned Cioccolata tries to invoke Giorno's deal, the latter simply declares that he was lying; a man like Cioccolata never deserved his mercy.↗

Personality

He would sometimes limit their anesthetics so the patients would regain consciousness mid-operation, allowing him to delight in the patient's suffering and death.↗
