Leone Abbacchio (レオーネ・アバッキオ, Reōne Abakkio) is a tertiary ally featured in the light novel JORGE JOESTAR. He is an incarnation of the original Abbacchio, living in the 37th universe.
Abbacchio wields the Stand Videodrome. He is a member of Passione, working under Bruno Bucciarati37 and Giorno Giovanna?.[1]
Appearance
The 37th universe's Abbacchio is a tall man with an average build and stern features. He has long, light, shoulder-length hair, with the bottom strands jutting upwards. On top of his head, he wears a serrated headpiece. Sometimes he has dark lipstick on.
His outfit consists of a long, dark, collarless coat with no shirt underneath and criss-cross lacing across his chest. He also wears dark pants and a belt with a circular buckle having an "A" inside it.
Personality
Abbacchio is a stoic and meticulous investigator, shaped by his past experience as a police officer. He has a serious and skeptical demeanor, not trusting people easily and expecting honesty from those he works with, watching George Joestar closely for any signs of deception.
Despite his guarded nature, Abbacchio has a powerful sense of responsibility. He's focused on uncovering the truth, even if it requires him to delve into disturbing details or face unnerving sights. For instance, he shows concern over whether Rohan Kishibe sterilized his thermometer before he has to perform an autopsy.[2]
Abilities
Stand
Abbacchio wields a Stand named Videodrome, which has similar abilities to Moody Blues but with more limitations. It is capable of materializing recent events that have happened to someone into a watchable, interactive hologram.
History
JORGE JOESTAR
Tracking Down the Boss
Abbacchio helps Giorno? and the others in Passione with tracking down their boss. He accompanies Detective Daibakusho Curry in their investigation.[1]
After they mysteriously find the bodies of Diavolo and Kosaku Kawajiri37, who they assume is Yoshikage Kira at the time, Abbacchio uses Videodrome to investigate their deaths. Bucciarati37 shares the holographic video recording to Jorge Joestar37, who witnesses how the two suddenly die with their throats slit. Videodrome records everything that happens to someone for 24 hours after midnight and cuts off at the moment of their death, meaning that there are no records of Diavolo and Kira from midnight until 8 am. They just suddenly appeared in Arrow Cross House at 8 am, where they were killed in approximately one second, and nobody noticed their bodies.
Autopsies
When the original universe George Joestar is brought to Arrow Cross House, Abbacchio describes their estimated time of death and replays the recordings so that George could notice any suspicious details. George points out a clue that Kira's sweat on his face was instantly drying before it reached his shirt, so Abbacchio and NYPD Blue also touch Kira's chest on Videodrome's recording so they can see for themselves. George moves on to checking Diavolo's chest, where he notices the same situation occurring.
George asks Rohan Kishibe37 for a thermometer so that they could do autopsies. Abbacchio and NYPD Blue are reluctant to take rectal temperatures until George convinces them to by saying they shouldn't let an amateur handle it. Grossing Abbacchio out, Rohan describes how he used the thermometer on various wild animals such as birds, cats, and a boar, but he assures that the thermometer is well sterilized. The two officers take the temperatures and then examine the inside of Kira and Diavolo's mouths and eyes. Abbacchio asks if George figured out anything but George ignores him. Impatient, Abbacchio throws the thermometer at George but the latter dodges and the thermometer shatters, angering Rohan.
Traitor Among the Gang
Later, NYPD Blue and Abbacchio notice that Diavolo's pages from Heaven's Door were not in order; his body only had odd pages, meaning that Diavolo had an alternate personality and someone else had the even pages. When Giorno betrays them by revealing that Diavolo was his alternate personality the whole time, Abbacchio attacks Giorno along with Fugo37 and Guido Mista37 but their attacks do nothing.[2]
