N'Doul
- The character featured in this article is commonly referred to as "N'Dour".
N'Doul (ンドゥール, Ndūru) is a minor antagonist featured in Part III: Stardust Crusaders.
Personality
N'Doul is blind and uses a cane to get around. He is proficient at wielding the cane, almost managing to kill a fly with it. He seems to have a warrior's code, as Jotaro mentions that he would have likely joined their cause had they gotten to him earlier. N'Doul even attacks himself using his own stand after his defeat, to ensure he would not accidentally spill any of Dio's secrets to the protagonists.
Synopsis
History
N'Doul was a blind man who, thanks to his stand, never feared anything in his entire life, not even death. It allowed him to do anything he wanted and get away with it without consequences, as even the police wouldn't find out about his crimes, but no one ever saw his true value. One day he encountered Dio Brando and was charmed by his charisma, Dio being the only person to see his true value. N'Doul started to admire that man so much he saw him as his savior, claiming that "even evil needs a savior".
Stardust Crusaders
N'Doul is introduced briefly after Iggy joins the Joestar group, killing the two pilots of the helicopter that Iggy came in. He attacks the Joestar group soon after, managing to injure Kakyoin's eyes and keep him from assisting the group for a period of time. After Avdol found out that N'Doul could only locate the group through the sounds they made, Jotaro forced Iggy to cooperate with them, as he was the only one capable of detecting N'Doul's attacks. Iggy was uncooperative so Jotaro used Star Platinum to throw Iggy & The Fool to N'Doul & catching him off-guard. It is there that Jotaro finds N'Doul & defeats him. After being defeated, N'Doul killed himself to prevent his memories from being read by Hermit Purple, likely knowing that his own savior would kill him otherwise. Afterwards, in his dying breaths, he tells Jotaro of the other nine Stand users & of himself. Seeing his value, Jotaro buried N'Doul's body in his honor.

N'Doul was supposed to be a playable character; there are some drafts of him as a fighting character in the game (where he uses his cane for attacks). But eventually Capcom dropped this idea and used him as a mini boss, where the player had to cross a desert stage dodging his stand until they find him at the end of the stage and attack him, one hit causing an instant K.O.
