Devo the Cursed is a minor character appearing in Part III: Stardust Crusaders. He is portrayed as an enemy of the protagonists.



Story

Prior of allying with Dio Brando, Devo was already known all over the world as a lethal assassin. It seems that he was able to use Native American magic and that he had work for Mafia organisations, armies and governments from any part of the world. According to Mohammed Abdul, any person who has seen Devo's Stand's power has been killed.

He ambushes Jean Pierre Polnareff in his hotel room in Singapore, tricking him into activating Ebony Devil's power by hitting him. He then escaped from the room, found refugee in a toilet and tried to kill Polnareff from there by possessing a doll with his Stand.

Though Ebony Devil managed to tie Polnareff under the bed, so that he couldn't properly use his Silver Chariot, the Frenchman was able to destroy a mirror, and to use the reflection of its fragments to finally counterattack Devo's Stand. Polnareff asked for information about J. Geil, but since Devo wouldn't talk, he destroyed the puppet, leading to Devo's death as well.

Appearance/Personality

Devo is a tall Native American with long dark hair. His face and body are covered by countless scars: these are the result of Devo letting his opponents attack him, in order to make his anger and his Stand's power grow.

At first, Polnareff believes him to be a complete idiot, since Devo was hiding in the fridge of Polnareff's room and left all the drinks outside, above the very fridge, making himself easily detectable. However, that was part of Devo's plan, as he wanted to be detected by Polnareff and hit by his Stand.

Trivia

  • It looks like Abdul and Devo had previously met, since he was able to give an accurate physical description of the killer. However he didn't know Ebony Devil's powers as he wasn't one of his victims and had only seen him from afar
  • His name was changed in Viz Media's translation of the manga to avoid lawsuit from the Band Devo. He was instead named "Soul Sacrifice", a reference to the song of the same name by Santana
