02Appearance

Doppio appears as a fairly slim yet fit young man, described as appearing too young to have children. He has freckles, contributing to his boyish looks, and light-colored irises that disappear when he is not in control of the body. His hair is tied into a neck-length ponytail by a weave-like braid; the front hair is left loose and sweeps over to one side lock, the position and length of which is portrayed inconsistently.↗↗

His clothing consists of a light-colored sweater with gash-like openings on it that leave the midriff exposed and a loose pair of jeans with studs covering the thighs and sides of the ankles. Doppio also wears a black mesh shirt underneath the sweater.↗

03Personality

Doppio is a much more regular person in contrast to Diavolo: friendly, honest, and a bit cowardly. Doppio regularly hallucinates random objects as "phones" with which he talks with his alter-ego, not knowing that they share the same body.↗

Doppio mostly behaves in a good-natured way, being friendly and polite. After borrowing a toy phone from a child while taking a plane, he apologizes for taking too long. He cares for insects, risking his life by jumping in front of a truck to save one when a kid was about to catch it. Whenever attacked, Doppio automatically reverts to a state of true fear and submission, often choosing the safest option such as comply with his aggressor's demands. He believes himself to be unlucky, which provides an ironic contrast to Diavolo's good fortune.↗↗↗

Fiercely loyal to his boss to a point of attempting to fulfill the mission first and foremost, Doppio is somewhat resourceful although Diavolo has to help and counsel him from time to time. Despite this, Doppio has a sense of pride. During his battle against Risotto Nero, Doppio refuses to leave the battle or have his boss step in, remaining and doing all he could to find a weakness in Risotto's Stand, Metallica. He shares his alter ego's collected nature when in battle, and while his first actions are usually panicking and screaming, he soon and very quickly calms down, carefully using his tools to identify the enemy and their powers.↗↗

04Abilities

Stand

Due to sharing the same body with Diavolo, Doppio is at least partially capable of using King Crimson, notably its Epitaph, a sub-ability of King Crimson, as well as King Crimson's arms. However, Diavolo informs Doppio that he’s only lending him these abilities. As such, it allows Doppio to see ten seconds into the future and perform powerful strikes the same way Diavolo does. According to Diavolo, however, Doppio cannot use King Crimson's signature ability unless Diavolo himself takes over the body.↗↗↗

Double Personality

Doppio and Diavolo are two souls that inhabit the same body. As a result, they can switch their personalities as well as their physical appearance. Compared to Diavolo, Doppio appears a lot younger and is described by a fortuneteller as looking too young to have children. Diavolo appears to be a lot taller, as well as more muscular. When he takes over, Doppio's freckles disappear, his voice deepens, and his hair is seemingly a different length. According to Diavolo, it takes a couple of seconds for him to completely take over Doppio's body.↗↗↗↗

Diavolo seems to be able to manipulate Doppio's memories, as Diavolo remembers everything and can see everything that happens to Doppio but not vice versa, although it's unknown how much of this is based on Doppio's possible poor memory.↗

Doppio can communicate with Diavolo through any kind of object while not in control, making the underboss believe he is another person altogether. Doppio can always hear his alter ego's voice through the object. Whenever Diavolo wants to talk to him, Doppio subconsciously making a ringing noise and grabs a random object in his vicinity to act as a phone. Doppio also always carries a broken or dismantled phone headset.↗

05Story

SPOILERS

In Sardinia

Doppio is first seen in Sardinia, carrying a briefcase. He attempts to save a little boy from being hit by a truck as the boy was distracted with trying to catch a bug. After narrowly avoiding being run over, Doppio catches the attention of a fortune teller. While at first skeptical, Doppio becomes interested in the man's fortune telling when he begins telling him that he has a daughter, even though he looks far too young.↗

Doppio begins to panic as the fortune teller begins to harass him not from a desire for money, but to figure out the mystery behind the strange boy. In a twist, Doppio grabs the fortune teller and slams him into a wall, calling him a "dead man". He then transforms into Diavolo and kills the fortune teller.↗

Doppio arrives at the Costa Smeralda with a taxi. However, the driver cons him with an inflated price and Doppio protests. The taxi driver manhandles Doppio and threatens to take his money by force, looking at an envelope he assumes contains money. Initially fearful, Doppio then becomes extremely angry and shoves his finger in the driver's eye socket, threatening to pull out his eye. Suddenly a phone rings.↗

Though Doppio has convinced Risotto that his fear and cowardice were genuine, Risotto notices that Doppio reacted to the sound of Aerosmith patrolling the area, and figures out that he's a Stand user. Doppio once again attacks Risotto, but it is then that razor blades suddenly appear in his mouth.↗

Diavolo grants Doppio Epitaph as well as King Crimson's arms. The first thing Doppio forecasts using Epitaph is Risotto turning invisible and a pair of scissors inexplicably forming in his neck, ready to cut his throat. He wonders how the scissors could move on their own, and before they could snip his throat, he forcefully tears them out. Risotto once again disappears, and Doppio sees a foot getting severed. He tells Diavolo what happens, and is ordered to run away.↗

Doppio peers into Epitaph's forecast and sees a large chunk with blood gushing missing from his own head, causing him to panic. While his body begins to change as Diavolo slowly emerges, Doppio uses the knives to pinpoint Risotto's location like a compass. However, upon throwing them, Risotto reveals that he expected it, and detached his severed foot for the knife to locate.↗

As Doppio has lost a lot of blood and is heavy on breath, Risotto, the larger blip on Narancia's radar, was targeted. More bullets rip through Risotto, sending his still-invisible skin flying and landing on Diavolo's body, revealing the cause of the missing chunk in Doppio's head. Diavolo is left standing over Risotto in victory and offers him a quick and honorable death in exchange for him restoring his iron levels to normal.↗

In Rome

Upon arriving in Rome, Doppio is taken hostage by Secco, whom is fighting Bucciarati. As neither of them recognize him, Bucciarati saves him by placing a zipper on him to punch through him and kill Secco without hurting him. Bucciarati's body is on the verge of collapsing and he's now blind and deaf. Doppio decides to "help" him reach his destination to discover the heroes' objective, but then the way to the Colosseum is barred by Mista, who is near.↗

Bucciarati and Doppio can enter the Colosseum, but they are then confronted by Jean Pierre Polnareff, who is sitting on the second floor. Polnareff interrogates Doppio and Bucciarati because he doesn't know Doppio. Doppio manages to pretend being Trish for a little while, but his cover is practically blown when Bucciarati says that Trish is a Stand user and Polnareff asks "Trish" to show her Stand. The Boss finally recognizes Polnareff and takes control of Doppio's body.↗

When Chariot Requiem swaps the souls of the inhabitants of Rome, Doppio's soul is transferred into Bucciarati's body, with Bucciarati's soul entering Diavolo and Doppio's shared body. Team Bucciarati keeps a close eye on Bucciarati's body. The moment Doppio began to wake up, he is shot down by Mista. Though Mista's shots aren't fatal, Doppio's soul is unable to linger within the corpse, and he eventually passes away as a result.↗

Alter Ego

Diavolo: While Doppio never learned the truth between themselves, he highly respects Diavolo and always called him "Boss" - though whether or not Doppio knew Diavolo's name is unknown. Doppio also seems to be Diavolo's gofer, something he takes pride in considering how loyal he was to a point of stubbornness, and he seemed heed most of Diavolo's orders when he remembered them.↗

Enemies

Risotto Nero: Both of these characters have a mutual dislike for each other. Risotto dislikes Doppio simply because he is connected to "the boss" and vice versa because Risotto is looking for the boss. As Risotto continues to try to kill Doppio, his resolve develops to the point that Doppio is willing to risk his own life to kill Risotto in order to protect himself and his boss.↗
