Emporio Alnino

Emporio Alnino (エンポリオ・アルニーニョ) is a secondary character in Part VI: Stone Ocean and an ally of the protagonist.

Story
Emporio was born to a unnamed prisoner in Green Dolphin Street Prison and has lived there ever since in secret with the help of his stand, which manifested in the form of a "ghost room." It is unknown if his mother was killed or if she was a stand user and developed similar powers. Either way, Pucci was originally unaware of Emporio's existence, which gave the heroes a momentary edge.e

While in Green Dolphin Street Prison, he serves as a meaningful and useful ally to Jolyne and  Hermes as well as introducing the two to the murderer,  Anasui and the amnesiac Weather Report (who are living in his Ghost Room provided by  his stand abilities), providing them all with information about the personell, the enemies they fight and even the prison itself. The Ghost Rooms are the "spirits" of the rooms that were there prior to the revisions after a fire.

After Jolyne,  Hermes, Weather Report and  Anasui escape, he follows with hopes to help Jolyne (flying a helicopter that Romeo gave  Jolyne before Rykiel's attack) before being given  Kujo's memory disc which gives him the pursuit of Donatello Versace.

Appearance/Personality
A short boy with curly blond hair, Emporio is always seen wearing a striped baseball uniform that seems to be the type worn by the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. He was first shown as a cowardly awkward kid who was unwilling to join the battle. However, as he continued to help the heroes, he was slowly dragged into the fight himself. He proved helpful by using his computer to gain information regarding the villains' powers, and in helping Jolyne out of several tight spots by hiding her in his "ghost room." When caught in the middle of a conflict, he was unable to fight back (excluding his final confrontation with Pucci, where he made use of Weather's stand).

Trivia

 * After Pucci's defeat, Emporio became the only person of the original timeline to survive and still retain his memories.
 * Emporio is the only stand user to ever use another stand that is not his own (not counting Anubis' users) and, as such, was able to temporarily use two stands at once. He was capable of using Weather Report's stand when Pucci accidentally forced it in, while his original stand Burning Down the House was slowly crumbling away. One could imagine that his original stand was slowly being overpowered by his new one.
 * He bears a rather strong resemblance to Phantom Blood's Poco, though it might be entirely coincidental.
