Pouvoir et Compétences
Capacités Physiques
En tant que guerrier entraîné et l'un des cinq seuls chevaliers à réussir le défi des 77 Anneaux, Tarkus possède une force physique et une endurance incroyables. Même de son vivant en tant qu'humain, son cou pouvait résister à plusieurs coups de haches et il a fallu plusieurs haches avant que le bourreau puisse le décapiter complètement.[1]
Après que Dio l'ai ressuscité en tant que zombie, sa force est démultipliée au point qu'il peut écraser plusieurs homme à mains nues[2] Tarkus démontre sa force prodigieuse quand il apparaît en soulevant un rocher massif du bout du doigt, sur lequel Jonathan était perché. Il brise ce même rocher en petits morceaux avec le doigt.[3]
Later, he throws himself onto a stone wall in order to trap Jonathan in the Lair of the Two-Headed Dragon. Whereas Zeppeli states that Tarkus should be unable to move because his bones would have shattered from the collision, Tarkus manages to climb the building and still be in a state to fight Jonathan and Zeppeli afterwards.[4] A kick from him is strong enough to shatter the bone of Jonathan's upper arm.[5]
Chain Techniques
Tarkus is an expert at the Chain Neck Deathmatch, having killed forty-eight warriors in death matches.[5] He uses his surroundings to his advantage, such as ensnaring his opponents with a chain to rip their bodies apart.
- Hell Heaven Snake Kill (
天地来蛇殺 , Heru Hebun Sunē Kiru, lit. "Heaven and Earth coming Snake kill"): Tarkus' signature technique. He jumps above his opponent while he manipulates his chain to strike them from below, cornering them from both sides. The chain wraps around his opponent and Tarkus pulls on it with enough force to tear a body in half.
Swordsmanship
When Tarkus was a knight of Mary Stuart, he was described as a hero who could cut rocks like butter with his sword. Proving the stories of his past, Tarkus strikes the ground with his sword and slices off a large cliff, causing the Joestar Group to fall.[2]
Histoire
Passé
Born in the 16th century, Tarkus was a member of the Tudor Dynasty and a retainer of Mary Stuart. After losing his relatives in previous wars, the young Tarkus was brought up as Mary Stuart's knight and trained his body for that sole purpose. At the same time, Tarkus became attached to Mary. Alongside his fellow retainer Bruford, Tarkus passed the Challenge of the 77 Rings in 1563, being the only two out of five in history to succeed it.[6]
Eventually, when Mary was imprisoned by her political rival Queen Elizabeth, Bruford and Tarkus fought the queen's army until she offered Mary's release in return for their surrender. But on the day they of their execution as enemies of the Crown, Bruford and Tarkus learned from their executioner that Mary was already killed before they gave into the queen's demands. Tarkus was livid to hear that Elizabeth deceived them into giving up their lives for nothing and cursed her in his dying breath, rumors saying that his neck became so rigid from anger that several axes broke before he was beheaded. The story of Bruford and Tarkus was passed down and became famous in England[1]
Phantom Blood
After taking residence in Windknight's Lot following his transition into a vampire, Dio resurrects Bruford and Tarkus as his Zombie enforcers to exploit their hatred against the world. He first summons them to kill Jonathan, Will Anthonio Zeppeli, and Robert E. O. Speedwagon. While Bruford fights with Jonathan, Tarkus fights Zeppeli and Speedwagon. But following Bruford's defeat, Tarkus desecrates his remains while saying that Bruford disappointed him before assaulting the heroes. Tarkus violently kicks the remains of Bruford's armor, turning its pieces into a dangerous hail of metal and Zeppeli is wounded. He almost catches Poco but Jonathan grabs him just in time. Tarkus slices the ground with his sword, cutting the cliff and isolating the heroes near the knights' former training grounds. He then catches two men who stumbled upon the fight and squeezes the blood out of them to drink it. He rushes to attack again, but Jonathan and his friends attempt to escape Tarkus on a hang-glider created from Ripple-induced leaves. Tarkus jumps and crashes the glider. Though assumed indisposed, Tarkus' durability convinces Zeppeli that the zombie is a loose end they cannot ignore.
Jonathan enters the building to find a place where Poco can hide safely, finding himself in the Chamber of the Two-Headed Dragon where Tarkus engages Jonathan in a Chain Neck Deathmatch. After Poco nearly gets himself killed to get the others in, Zeppeli proceeds to fight Tarkus before the zombie binds him with the chain which is used to rip the Ripple master's torso from his legs while snapping Jonathan's neck. Fortunately, Zeppeli transfers all his remaining Ripple into Jonathan's body. Empowered and healed by the sudden surge of Ripple, Jonathan shatters his collar then easily kills Tarkus with a Ripple-infused double punch to the face.

Tarkus
Tarkus appears in Diamond Records as a playable character in both the Action Battle and Tactical Battle game modes. He has a few unlockable statues varying between the 'Fighting Spirit' and 'Solitary' types, ranging from 4 stars to 6 stars.
Tarkus' moveset in both game modes is comprised of various attacks inspired by the anime using his sword, chains, and brute strength. Despite being a zombie in canon, the game gives him the "vampire" tag and thus gives him the qualities of a vampire character (such as regeneration and weakness to the Ripple). Playing as him will force any outdoor stages into their night time variants.
Moveset
Tarkus' basic attack string is a combination of up to five various attacks comprising of different strikes with his sword and fists. In Tactical Battle, this is cut down to only three hits.
Tarkus performs a powerful swing with his sword that lands into the ground.
Tarkus swings a chain around above his head briefly, then swings it down it at the opponent, covering a longer than average range. In Tactical Battle, this hits all opponents present on the stage. (Unlockable)
Tarkus belly flops onto the ground, covering a medium sized area of effect. In Tactical Battle, this hits all opponents present on the stage.
Tarkus lets out a barrage of punches while continuously walking towards his opponents. In Action Battle, you have control over Tarkus' movement as he is performing this skill and can use it to take on crowds of opponents. (Unlockable)
Tarkus swings a chain at the opponent, then briefly disappears as the game cuts to the cutscene. In the cutscene, Tarkus is seen jumping into the air as he throws around the chains. When the cutscene ends it's revealed that the chains are wrapped around the opponent, and Tarkus performs his signature Hell Heaven Snake Kill and pulls the chain until it snaps and damages the enemy, similar to how he kills Zeppeli in the anime.
