02Appearance
Viviano Westwood is a muscular man of above average height, with a square face. He has dark hair styled in a buzz cut. After getting violently punched in the face by his companion, Sonny Likir, a large amount of his inner mouth, gums, and teeth are visible. Westwood wears the uniform of the Green Dolphin Street Prison guards. He also sports arm warmers and shin high combat boots.↗
03Personality
Ordinarily, Viviano Westwood is a regular prison guard at Green Dolphin Street Prison. He has fun antagonizing convicts, and is friendly with his colleague Sonny Likir, even making bets with him. He believes prisoners are the scum of society and hates them, confessing to being irritated in their presence and that being treated "like shit" by the likes of them infuriates him.↗↗↗
When under the influence of Survivor, Westwood becomes overwhelmed by rage, turning into a bellicose man who relishes fighting. Because he's become so aggressive, he opens all the cells in the isolation ward in order to challenge all its detainees and ends up fighting Jolyne in a brutal close-quarters struggle. Despite going berserk, Westwood is still able to praise his opponent, for instance commending the strength of Likir's punch or perceiving Jolyne's strings as beautiful because they are her best weapons. Under Survivor's influence, Westwood is also prone to declaring he's the strongest.↗↗↗↗↗
Since Westwood's job involves detaining prisoners everyday, he has mastered certain techniques that prevent them from struggling, such as effective headlocks.↗

05Story
SPOILERS
Background
Westwood is a guard that worked at the Green Dolphin Street Prison for three years, after working in a Miami customs house prior. Enrico Pucci gave him a Stand at an undisclosed time, although it is said that it was either an hour or the day before he attacks Jolyne Cujoh.↗
Stone Ocean
Viviano works as one of the guards in Green Dolphin Street 's Ultra Security House Unit. After Jolyne Cujoh is thrown in there as punishment, Viviano and his partner Sonny Likir patrol the ward to hose the prisoners in their cells as part of the daily shower. Viviano bets $15 that Jolyne doesn't hide the moment she sees their flashlight and loses barge into Jolyne's cell with a floodlight as part of a bet.↗
Despite Stone Free, Westwood is a match for Jolyne at close quarters. While Jolyne can use her strings to tie up Westwood's limb, his aggressiveness gives him a superhuman ability for close-quarters fighting. She manages to tie his fists to his neck and pummels him, he unconsciously uses Planet Waves to tear away a chunk of Stone Free's arm and escape. Again, Jolyne corners Westwood by covering his head with her longcoat but another chunk of Stone Free's leg is chopped off as it attacks.↗↗
