Devo
(or "Soul Sacrifice" in the Viz Media translation) is a Native American
shaman who works as an assassin for hire. To aid him in his craft, he employs
the Ebony Devil Stand, the strength and ferocity of which correlates with
its user's raw hatred for his or her opponent. To enkindle such a grudge,
Devo goads his victims into attacking and injuring him. He then leaves
the immediate area, letting his Stand assault the victim at a later, unguarded
moment. Though this strategy has earned Devo countless scars, none of his
targets has ever survived his retribution, nor been able to relay any information
on the nature of his powers. For this reason, it is said that they have
succumbed to a curse. Due to his proficiency, Devo's services are sought
after by politicians, police forces, military officials and Mafia dons
alike.
Like many of the series' antagonists,
Devo displays sadistic tendencies, streaks of insanity and unhealthy levels
of confidence in his abilities. He appears to take pride in his principle
of never allowing a slight to go unpunished, and it is clear that he pursues
his career for purposes of bloodthirst as much as monetary gain.
