Magent Magent

Lean and taller than most, Magent sports dark, curly hair beneath a bolero hat. His getup runs to a heavy quilted, studded jacket over long sleeves, fingerless gloves, a fur collar, and a lone studded cravat. A prominent scar later marks the left side of his face, courtesy of his brawl with Johnny and Gyro.

Because his Stand does nothing but defend, he leans on weaponry, packing a shotgun against the two racers, a silenced pistol for quiet kills, and a belt of explosives.

On the surface Magent is a chummy, easygoing operative who tries to warm up to his new partner Wekapipo through small talk and off-color jokes, though the man's dour mood soon grates on him, and being abandoned in the cold turns that irritation into hatred. Coarse habits, a tendency to panic or fume mid-fight, and plain sloppiness undercut him repeatedly, as when he squanders a winning position by taunting Wekapipo long enough to be countered. His grating, nasal voice is even rendered phonetically in his dialogue. He also nurses an odd fascination with airplanes and their power to cover great distances fast.

Little is recorded of his life before Valentine hired him and set him, alongside Wekapipo, to kill Johnny and Gyro. His Stand, 20th Century Boy, renders him untouchable by any harm, explosions and drowning included, so long as he kneels with both palms pressed to the ground, though the shield freezes him in place until he drops it. The two assassins spring a pincer ambush near a frozen river, and Magent's Stand shrugs off Gyro's steel balls, yet forcing himself to switch to firearms leaves an opening. Gyro exploits it, gashing his left eye and leaving him for dead.

Magent has only faked his death. Diego Brando helps him back across the ice, and, having eavesdropped on the enemy's plans, he sets out to murder Steven Steel in revenge. His assault on Steven's carriage is interrupted by Wekapipo, and their duel spills into the Delaware River, where Wekapipo lashes him to wreckage to drag him under. He raises his Stand to keep from drowning, but since it locks him motionless, freeing himself would mean dropping the shield and going under first. He chooses to wait for a rescue by Diego that never comes, eventually simply stops thinking, and is left comatose on the riverbed, his ultimate fate unresolved.
