Cameo is a hired killer working for DIO during the events of Stardust Crusaders. Operating from a buried hideout on a Red Sea island, he lets his automatic Stand Judgement pose as a genie, luring Jean Pierre Polnareff into voicing wishes that get twisted into deadly traps against him.
Cameo carries the frame of a physically fit grown man, his body toned from an active life. The crown of his head has gone bald, though thick strands still trail down along the back and remain long.
Cowardice defines Cameo, who takes pleasure in manipulating the emotions of those he preys upon. His signature con is to dress Judgement up as a spirit that grants wishes, then strike once the victim lowers their guard. To sell the deception, the Stand can mold extra figures out of clay, and he tends to shape them from people his mark once cared about. Because no wound to the Stand ever passes back to him, he prefers to stay concealed at a distance and let it carry out the killing on his behalf. After twisting a wish into cruelty he liked to bellow Hail 2U!, a phrase that later doubled as his fighting shout.
During Stardust Crusaders, Cameo is among the mercenaries DIO pays to wipe out Jotaro's group. He stakes out the island where Joseph has come to see Avdol's father, burying himself in a pit he dug and breathing through a straw while wearing swim goggles. Since damage to Judgement never reaches him, he stays underground and observes as the independent Stand does everything for him. Judgement convinces Polnareff that it is a genie and invites three wishes; Polnareff asks for Sherry Polnareff and Avdol to be brought back, so Cameo forms clay duplicates of them that turn on Polnareff instead. The genuine Avdol arrives, destroys the fakes, rescues his friend, and uncovers the hidden killer. In a far more relaxed mood than before his apparent death, Avdol proposes tormenting the man, briefly sealing the straw with a finger. Polnareff drops dirt, a spider, ants, and a burning match down the tube, yet Cameo holds on. The two then relieve themselves into his air pipe, which finally drives the panicked Stand user to surface and plead for mercy. Avdol declines and incinerates him with Magician's Red as the fourth and final wish.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

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....

Cameo's Stand is Judgement, an automatic Stand that can mold clay figures resembling people the target once knew. Since damage to Judgement never harms Cameo directly, he can control it safely from a distance.
Cameo has Judgement pose as a genie that grants three wishes. When Polnareff asks to see Sherry Polnareff and Avdol again, Judgement molds clay copies of them that turn violently against Polnareff.
Cameo buries himself in a pit and breathes through a straw while wearing swim goggles because damage to his Stand Judgement never passes back to him, letting him direct the attack safely from underground.
After Avdol exposes his hiding spot, Polnareff and Avdol torment Cameo through his air pipe until he surfaces and begs for mercy. Avdol refuses and burns him alive with Magician's Red as the genie's fourth wish.
