[[File:Melone_personality.gif|thumb|left|Melone has a lecherous side when scouting women for his Stand ability.|212x212px]]
Melone shows himself to be a polite man in most circumstances. Approaching every activity with cold professionalism, he physically inspects his future victims, looking at them more like cattle to breed his Stand than fellow human beings. The TV anime also emphasizes his salacious and predatory nature, showing him openly licking his lips in delight as he observes a beautiful woman's legs and feet; something his teammates are openly perturbed of.<ref>{{Ep|GW Episode 10}}</ref>
Given his exploitative actions, Melone is enthusiastic when analyzing a target for his Stand ability. He doesn't care when a [[Anita|woman]] slaps him hard enough to spurt out blood during his analysis of her, but compliments her slap instead. He also always reacts jovially when circumstances match or exceed his expectations, exclaiming
Melone is one of the least confrontational enemy Stand
==
===[[Stand]]===
{{Main|Baby Face}}
Melone wields the Stand Baby Face, which is a computer-like humanoid Stand he uses to create autonomous long-range Stands also named Baby Face which he can direct to kill his targets. He needs to find a blood sample of his target and a woman to breed said Stand before he can act.

===Personal===
'''Pseudoscience knowledge: '''Melone is well-versed in pseudosciences used to divine things such as character compatibility or a future child's characteristics. This serves him to determine the quality of the Stand he will breed in function to his target.
Melone is also capable of determining someone's blood type by licking them, as he concludes that [[Anita]] belongs to the O blood group after licking her finger.<ref name="C500" />
==History==
===Background===
[[File:Squadra given Sorbet.gif|thumb|The Boss makes an example of Sorbet]]
Melone was a member of [[La Squadra Esecuzioni]], a team of nine assassins working within [[Passione]]. However, the team was frustrated they only received compensation for each kills while the rest of the gang was getting rich from the drug trade. One day their teammates [[Sorbet and Gelato]] disappeared while they were trying to investigate the [[Boss]]'s past. They found Gelato choked on a gag in his house, with a piece of paper on which was written the word "punishment". Later, the team received the sectioned body parts of Sorbet encased in formaldehyde, showing the team the power of the Boss. They despaired of ever finding about the Boss. However, they then heard about [[Trish Una]], and thought that she would be the key to discovering the Boss's [[Stand]] ability. The team rebelled and began searching for her. Just after Trish was taken in by [[Pericolo]], La Squadra Esecuzioni ransacked Donatella and Trish's apartment in search for clues, missing a crucial picture of Donatella that was taken by the Boss himself.
The anime adaptation expands on his activities. The night Sorbet and Gelato disappeared, he was on an assignment with [[Formaggio]], [[Pesci]] and [[Prosciutto]]. He didn't do anything but lusted after the target's date after seeing her legs, which weirded his teammates out.

[[File:Melone blood sample.png|thumb|left|Melone collects a blood sample]]
Melone is first shown collecting a blood sample left from [[Bruno Bucciarati]]'s battle with [[Prosciutto]] and [[Pesci]] for the Homonculus Materialization of his Stand, [[Baby Face]]. He later finds a [[Anita|woman]] while on a train and proceeds to examine her. Her bad temper, selfishness and overall incompatibility with Bucciarati makes her the ideal mother for Baby Face's child and thus he summons Baby Face to do its deed. He then leaves for another empty wagon, supervising Baby Face's growth. Once the homonculus is born, he then educates it to kill off [[Team Bucciarati|Bucciarati's group]] and capture [[Trish Una]]. It surpasses his expectation and leaves for its target before it is ready, but Melone decides to trust in it.
When Baby Face locates [[Team Bucciarati]] and launches its attack within [[Coco Jumbo]], Melone is seen giving it orders from his computer. However, Melone's plan inadvertently causes [[Giorno Giovanna]] to not only deal damage to Baby Face, but its ability allowed him to discover [[Gold Experience]]'s indispensable ability to repair injuries through its basic life-giving power. Melone eventually loses control of Baby Face, who proceeds to act independently and ends up nearly burning to death.
[[File:GW_ep18_serpent_kiss.png|thumb|190px|Bitten by a venomous snake]]
After the defeat of his [[Stand]], he's called by [[Ghiaccio]] about the wreckage. Ironically, before he could generate another homunculus incidence of Baby Face, a cube portion of his burning Stand finds its way back to him as a venomous snake animated by Giorno and bites his tongue, killing him off-panel.

{{Canon}}
In the light novel ''JORGE JOESTAR'', an iteration of Melone lives in the 37th universe, appearing similarly to his original universe counterpart. He is not actually mentioned in the novel by name but he is drawn in an illustration.
[[File:Jorge 8-10.jpg|thumb|right|Melone and others jumping into Morioh]]
[[Nero Nero Island]], where the base of [[Passione]] is located, suddenly grows legs and starts moving through the ocean headed toward [[Morioh]]. Some ordinary citizens panic and attempt to escape at the island's harbor. Melone, [[Dolcio Cioccolata|Cioccolata]]{{Universe|37|Cioccolata}}, [[Secco Rottario|Secco]]{{Universe|37|Secco}}, [[Prosciutto Cappano|Prosciutto]]{{Universe|37|Prosciutto}}, {{JJ|Pesci}}{{Universe|37|Pesci}}, and {{JJ|Ghiaccio}}{{Universe|37|Ghiaccio}} ambush and murder them. Secco's [[Evil Dead]] conceals the harbor, making their actions invisible to those within the island, such as [[Bruno Bucciarati (JORGE JOESTAR)|Bruno Bucciarati]]{{Universe|37|Bruno Bucciarati}}. One man manages to escape and tries waving desperately toward Morioh for help before he is killed as well.
The Mafia members move the bodies out of sight by dropping the bodies in the water between the boats, or by tossing them into the tall grass by the side of the road to the harbor. Nero Nero Island suddenly crashes into the barrier surrounding Morioh and flips upward. Its propulsion causes it to tear through the barrier and lands into Morioh Harbor. Cioccolata and the others start firing bullets and rocket launchers at random civilians and houses in Morioh, attempting to shoot [[Jorge Joestar (Joji)|Jorge Joestar]] as well when he runs by underneath them. The mafia members then jump off the island and head to Budogaoka gymnasium with several weapons.<ref name="JORGE8">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 8}}</ref>
