Appearance

Johngalli A stands at a fair to slightly above-average height with a lean frame. His long, pale hair includes a small braid running down the left of his face, and a thin, faintly tribal mark traces each cheek. Cataracts have turned his irises a solid white, and a tattoo of the Earth spreads across his back. He wears a simple shirt over dark trousers, both slit with rounded openings so that small circular flaps dangle from the cloth, finished with a perforated, square-tipped tie.

Personality

Utterly devoted to DIO, Johngalli A throws himself into the vampire's cause even though, as Jotaro suspects, he may never actually have met the man in person. Consumed by a wish to avenge DIO against the Joestar bloodline, he coordinates with Enrico Pucci, engineers the false murder charge that lands Jolyne in prison, and single-mindedly hunts both her and her father Jotaro within its walls.

History

Johngalli A followed DIO from a young age and, though he became a skilled sniper, later lost his sight to cataracts. Determined to punish Jotaro Kujo for killing his master, he had himself imprisoned in Green Dolphin Street Prison and joined Pucci's scheme to frame Jotaro's daughter Jolyne for a fatal hit-and-run. Once she arrives, he opens fire on her and Jotaro from a neighboring building, guiding his shots with his Stand Manhattan Transfer, which sharpens his sense of the wind and curves his bullets toward their marks. He disguises the rifle itself as a cane.

When Whitesnake ensnares the pair in an illusion, Johngalli A slips into their building dressed as a guard, but the ambush falters. Fixated on Jotaro, he fails to account for Jolyne, whose Stone Free deflects his bullets away from her, and she brings him down. Afterward Whitesnake shoots him through the head and stages the scene, planting the gun so that the death reads as a suicide.
