Blackmore
Blackmore (ブラックモア Burakkumoa) is a minor antagonist and Stand user featured in Part VII: Steel Ball Run.
Blackmore stands as one of Funny Valentine's more specialized and effective agents or assassins.
Appearance
Blackmore is a man of average to above-average height and medium build.
He wears a black, hooded poncho punctuated by diminutive metallic rings; through the hood of which is threaded a long ponytail of his light hair. Underneath, he wears light clothes covering his arms to his metacarpals, and his pants and boots in a piece, patterned by a symbol resembling a halved taijitu.
Personality
Blackmore is an efficient assassin, deeply loyal to Valentine; equally believing in his authority and cause.
Whenever Blackmore apologizes, he splits "sorry" into "so-rry", a translation of his original Japanese vocal tic. In Japanese, Blackmore always says "sumimasen" ("I'm sorry" or "excuse me") as "suImasEn," changing "sumi" into the diphthong "sui", putting extra emphasis on the I and E sounds, and drawling out the E to varying lengths; with the intended effect of a vaguely petulant and childish sound.
Abilities
Blackmore's Stand is Catch the Rainbow, which permits him to still and tread a path among falling raindrops, as well as relocate functioning parts of or his entire body with their touch and force.
Synopsis
Blackmore is introduced as one of Funny Valentine's loyal men, and an especially skilled assassin. His mission is to recover the Corpse Parts that Johnny and Gyro had so far collected.
Valentine enlists Blackmore's help in searching for a local saboteur, who is Lucy Steel. When Mountain Tim helps her escape, Blackmore confronts him. After incurring one gunshot wound, he incapacitates Tim in the manner of a Stand duel before executing him.
Meeting the protagonists, they are quickly surprised and overwhelmed by Blackmore and his Stand, which demonstrates novel defensive and offensive capabilities.
Blackmore takes the Corpse Parts back with him along with Lucy Steel. Using a phone to talk to Funny Valentine, he is distracted by the image of the Saint, before Lucy shoots him with a gun she had been hiding.
Though fatally injured, Blackmore resists, plugging his wounds with raindrops harnessed with his Stand. Chasing the protagonists, another battle ensues before his weakness is discovered and he is defeated. As per his Stand's limitation, he finally dies when it stops raining and he exsanguinates.
