He is also the [[:Category:Main Protagonists\|main protagonist]] of the ~~spin-off~~short ~~light~~story ~~novel ''~~"[[There's No Love Like a Parent's]]''." Melone is a member of [[La Squadra Esecuzioni]]. After [[Team Bucciarati]] is forced to take the road, he attempts to kidnap [[Trish Una]] and uses his remote [[Stand]], [[Baby Face]], to battle [[Giorno Giovanna]]. Line 87 ⟶ 89: ===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. ===[[There's No Love Like a Parent's]]=== {{Canon}}▼ {{Expand section}} ===Vento Aureo=== Line 97 ⟶ 103: 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. ==Novels==▼ ~~{{-}}~~ ===[[JORGE JOESTAR (Novel)\|JORGE JOESTAR]]===▼ ▲{{-Canon}} In the light novel ''JORGE JOESTAR'', an iteration of Melone lives in the 37th universe, appearing similarly to his original universe counterpart.
