—Page, Jones, Plant, and Bornnam, Chapter 39: Fire and Ice, Jonathan and Dio, Part 1
Page (ペイジ, Peiji), Jones (ジョーンズ, Jōnzu), Plant (プラント, Puranto), and Bornnam (ボーンナム, Bōnnamu) are a group of minor antagonists featured in the first part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Phantom Blood.
They are four zombies with horrifying and bestial appearances. Dio Brando summons them against the Joestar Group during his penultimate confrontation with Jonathan Joestar.
Appearance
Although all four zombies have muscular humanoid bodies, they each have features that are a combination of various creatures. All of them wear warrior armor, have claws and fangs, and also have cables connected to different parts of their bodies.
Page has a head resembling a canine's skull with long segmented horns above his eyes extending past his head. Small veins stick out of his horns and the back of his head. The back of his head also has a visor. Page wears a loincloth and a belt with a skull emblem. He is the skinniest zombie compared to the others.
Jones has a face slightly resembling an alligator but with two prominent front fangs extending from his nose. The top of his head appears tumorous with small veins sticking out.
Plant's face resembles a deformed human. His nose and mouth are wide and he has a long drooping bottom lip. His most prominent feature is a round shield stitched onto the side of his head, covering his left eye. His skin has various tiny bumps and he has long veins extending past his head. He also has a long segmented tail, which is cylindrical at the end.
Bornnam has an asymmetrical head that is split in the middle, appearing with two completely different faces. The left half of his face looks toward the left instead of facing straight. It has a flattened nose and a webbed design on the top with small veins sticking out. The face on its right side is vertically longer and appears to have a metallic surface, resembling a mask. It faces forward and looks more humanoid, having a drooping eye, a nose, and a crease above its mouth resembling a mustache. The mouth on this face does not move when Bornnam speaks. This face has a cable connecting it to his shoulder pad, whereas his other shoulder has a cable connecting to his back. Bornnam is the largest zombie compared to the other three.
Personality
Little is known of their personalities since they are instantly killed by Straizo. However, they are all violent and cruel creatures excited to kill humans.
In the anime, they are given a short additional scene where they ask for Dio's orders before attacking Jonathan, showing that they are subservient and don't impulsively attack without getting orders beforehand.[3]

MangaAnime
All four zombies share the same ability, allowing them to extend veins from the tops of their heads in the direction of their prey in order to suck their blood. If used in a careless manner, these appendages could become entangled.
History
Background
In the past, the four were knights who were executed in Windknight's Lot.[4] Dio Brando revives them as zombies in 1888.
Phantom Blood
The four zombies approach Poco and his sister, but before they could dispose of the two, they are confronted by Straizo. The four then reveal their names and try to dispose of the Ripple user by attacking with their blood-sucking needles. Straizo jumps into the air and kicks a hanging chandelier causing it to fall. After the chandelier traps the four zombies, Straizo then strikes the iron part of the chandelier with the Ripple, melting the zombies, thus leading to their deaths.[5]

Trivia
- Their profiles in the Phantom Blood PS2 game calls them the Big Four (四天王, Shiten'nō) among the group of zombies who were executed in their pasts,[6] implying that they are notably stronger than the others aside from Bruford and Tarkus.
- In the anime, the four zombies appear slightly earlier. They take the role of Dio's other zombies who attempt to fight Jonathan when he arrives. However, Dio stops them since Jonathan is his prey, so they go back into hiding.
