Alejandro Torres, born Alexander Hightower, is a secondary antagonist of the light novel JORGE JOESTAR. A ruined English businessman remade into a vampire, he devours his own son and is later disintegrated by Lisa Lisa's Ripple when he comes hunting the boy.
In vampire form he closely resembles his son, sharing the same blonde hair and thin brows. The novel's illustration shows him unclothed, his torso lightly muscled, with the fangs that mark his kind.
Alejandro is a cruel and neglectful father, cunning in equal measure. He let his wife mistreat their boy, professed open hatred for him, and dismissed him as a brat.
To move about safely he plays at being Spanish, sweet-talking his son's teacher, Mr. Fernandez, into drawing the classroom curtains so he can step inside without fear of sunlight.
Born in England, Alejandro married a woman named Mary, and the couple had a son, Anthony, in 1889. When his railway venture collapsed into bankruptcy, the family relocated to La Palma and adopted a more Spanish-sounding name. At some later point he became a vampire, possibly through Dio Brando's influence.
He eventually ate his own son, inadvertently turning the boy into a zombie, and hearing afterward that Anthony was somehow alive, he went to the school to find him. There he met Lisa Lisa, who tricked him into believing his son really was alive and branded him a terrible father. When he tried to strike her, she disintegrated him with her Indigo Blue Overdrive.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
