He is the son of and. Antonio was one of the main childhood bullies of George Joestar II and later torments him throughout his life as a Zombie working for Dio Brando.

Appearance
Antonio has short, light that is shorter on the sides and back along with side-swept bangs. He is skinny with tan skin and wears a striped t-shirt.

As a zombie, Antonio appears naked with flat, stretched out skin along with claws and fangs. He has no eyeballs but instead dark pits where his eyes should be, no blood, no muscles, and no bones. People who saw glimpses of him while flying airplanes described him as a gremlin with varying physical appearances. His height would vary from a gnome-like 50 centimeters to being child-sized, some would say he looks like a lizard with giant ears, and others would say he has horns growing out of his head. Lisa Lisa states that these depictions are merely stories made up by people based on the rumors, but their imaginations and fear manifested into real things.

Personality
Antonio is a cruel, aggressive, and violent child as a result of his abusive upbringing. He and his friends such as constantly bully George for several years. Despite secretly being the same nationality as George, Antonio insults George and his family by calling him "balsa blanca", meaning "white raft" in Spanish. Although he gets beat up by Lisa Lisa for harming George, Antonio persistently beats up George and goes as far as to rub dog feces in George's face in an attempt to force him to eat it.

"Thinking back on it now I believe that was something evil in the shape of a child."

As a zombie, Antonio retains his sadistic nature but is also as immature as he was twenty years ago when he was a child. He is submissive to his boss Dio and follows his orders completely. Mentioning his mother puts him into a fit of rage and emotional trauma.
