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 lustfulsalacious sideand predatory nature, showing him openly licking his lips in delight as he observes a beautiful woman's legs and feet,; something his teammates are humorouslyopenly disturbedperturbed byof.<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 "Di Molto!".<ref name="C500">{{Ch|Chapter 500}}</ref> Melone pretends that his Stand is in school after it's born by acting in the role of a caring teacher, confident that nothing can defeat it,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 501}}</ref> and praising it when it succeeds in its tasks.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 502}}</ref> Although he becomes nervous when things do not go his way, he still remains cool-headed enough to issue tactical instructions, likely due to the fact that he is not the one facing immediate danger.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 504}}</ref><ref>{{Ch|Chapter 505}}</ref>

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.
