Je me nomme Joestar, je vous remercie d'avoir sauvé ma vie. Dites moi votre nom avant que je ne perde connaissance. Je vous serait éternellement reconnaissant.
George est marrié à Mary Joestar et est le père de Jonathan Joestar. Après un malentendu, il adopte le jeune Dio Brando au sein de sa famille, annonçant les évènements des six premières parties.
George Joestar est un homme mûre de constitution et de taille moyenne. Il a des cheveux sombres un peu bouclés peignés vers un côté, et une mèche sur le droit de son front. Il porte aussi une moustache.
George Joestar porte typiquement un costume trois pièces avec soit une cravate soit un noeud. Dans un flashback, il portait aussi un manteau pour les sorties.
Personnalité
George est un gentil homme, bien qu'il soit mauvais juge de caractère. L'exemple le plus évident de ceci est lorsqu'il croit à tort que Dario Brando lui a sauvé la vie, alors que ce dernier essayait en fait de lui voler ses biens.
[1] Même lorsque George a vent de la duplicité dans une certaine mesure et qu'il voit que Dario avait volé la bague de sa défunte femme, il montre sa générosité en affirmant qu'il a volontairement donné sa bague à Dario et le fait sortir de prison. Néanmoins, George honore toujours Dario en accueillant son enfant et ne remarque pas les méfaits de Dio. Même lorsque Dio le poignarde, George veut croire qu'il ne faut pas trop blâmer Dio.
George aime son fils, mais il est strict envers lui, surtout après l'arrivée de Dio qui était meilleur que Jonathan sur tout les plans, car il souhaitait faire de lui un gentleman. Bien qu'il utilise des punitions physiques et la privation de nourriture pour punir Jonathan,[2] ils reflètent plus les coutumes de son temps que son propre caractère. Il montre notamment son amour paternel en protégeant Jonathan d'un coup de poignard de Dio et meurt heureux dans les bras de son fils.
Histoire
Passé
Un homme de la noblesse anglaise, George a eu une carrière dans dans le commerce, rendant sa famille riche et capable de vivre dans un manoir luxueux. Il a ensuite épousé une femme nommée Mary et ils ont eu un bébé qu'ils nommèrent Jonathan Joestar.
Phantom Blood
George Joestar prend Dario Brando pour son sauveur.
George perd tragiquement sa femme Mary dans un accident de carrosse en 1868. Lorsque le voleur Dario Brando arrive sur les lieux pour piller les objets de valeur des morts, George se réveille. Pensant que Dario vient le sauver, George se sent redevable envers lui. Plus tard, George rencontre à nouveau Dario en prison. Dario a été arrêté pour avoir tenté de vendre une bague qui a été identifiée comme étant la propriété de Mary, sa femme décédée. Cependant, George décide de mentir à la police pour sauver Dario de la peine de mort et dit à l'inspecteur chargé de l'affaire qu'il a donné la bague à Dario. Il remet ensuite la bague à Dario, lui disant qu'il comprend la raison du vol et qu'il doit devenir un bon père de famille. Même Dario ne peut pas comprendre la nature généreuse de George. George lui fournit aussi de l'argent pour fonder un hôtel qui fait finalement faillite.[3]
For the next twelve years, George raised his only son Jonathan who grew into a fine youth despite being rough around the edges. He got Jonathan a pet dog, Danny, who saved Jonathan from drowning and became his best friend.
After receiving a letter from a dying Dario, George honors his "debt" by allowing Dario's son Dio Brando to live at the Joestar Mansion and accepts him unconditionally as a member of the family. During Dio's stay, George is impressed by Dio's superior manners and intelligence, which causes him to berate his own son Jonathan several times. However, George remains unaware that Dio is brutalizing his son.
After Dio forcefully kisses Jonathan's girlfriend Erina Pendleton, George and him have a conservation about Jonathan's dog, Danny. George thus narrates Danny and Jonathan's story together, how they didn't like each other at first but that then Danny saved Jonathan from drowning in a river, starting their friendship. When Jonathan learns about Erina, he rushes to the Joestar mansion and fights Dio, winning the struggle through sheer will. Jonathan manages to reduce Dio to tears for the first time. Unaware to both Jonathan and Dio, George catches them fighting (not noticing the knife Dio planned to stab Jonathan with) and sends them both to their rooms, promising punishments for the both of them after.
Dio then traps Danny in an incinerator, causing the dog to be burned alive. George and the other members of the house don't suspect Dio of the crime, believing it to instead be a burglar. Nethertheless, Jonathan suspects Dio was responsible but has no proof.
George: "Don't look so sad, JoJo. Where better to die than in the arms of my son?..."
Eight years later, George is struck ill. Jonathan discovers Dario's letter from which he learns that his father is probably being poisoned by Dio. Jonathan travels to Ogre Street for proof and to find a cure. George is then cured and learns of Dio's treachery. Feeling responsible for doting Dio, George stands by as the constables Jonathan has brought proceed to arrest Dio. At the last moment, as Jonathan goes to Dio to personally handcuff him, George overhears Wang Chan mentioning Dio's luck and worries that the arrestation is going too smoothly.
When Dio attempts to stab Jonathan to use the Stone Mask on himself, George leaps between the two and shields his son, getting fatally stabbed in the back. George dies nestled in Jonathan's hold, cheering his son up saying that is best for a father to die in the arms of his son. George's body is later burned away from the fire that destroys the Joestar Mansion.
You got it wrong again, JoJo! This is the sixth time! You've made the same basic mistake six times! I'll keep this up until you understand! Look at Dio! He answered all 20 questions correctly!
George made his first video game appearance in the Phantom Blood videogame. As he did not fight in the original story, he is obviously not a playable character.
George appears as a random Campaign Support character, providing a significant boost for the player. Should the player lose a campaign battle, he gives them a boost to ensure a perfect S rank in any battle, even if they lost.
The information below derives from a source not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.
In the light novel JORGE JOESTAR, Erina names her son after George but spells it in the Spanish style ("Jorge") so she can call him "JoJo".[4] In the past, George used to be friends with the grandfather of Steven, Kenton, and Darlington Motorize.[5]
There is also an iteration of George in the 37th universe. Although he is English, he lives in America because England does not exist in this universe. He is still a wealthy man, owning a large estate in 1881 where he lives with his son Jonathan and adopted son Dio Brando. It is unknown whether the George in this universe dies before his sons, as Jonathan and Dio both die in a train accident when Jonathan attempts to stop Dio from robbing the train.[6]

Trivia
George mistaking Dario as his savior bears resemblance to a similar scene in Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables, in which Marius's father mistakes the corrupt innkeeper Thénardiers as his savior and sends Marius to seek aid from him on his deathbed. George also claims that he gave his ring to Dario Brando, who was imprisoned for stealing said ring, resembling the bishop Myriel claiming the same for Jean Valjean, who attempted to steal his silverware.
