Apparence
Le Scribe Ani est un homme à l'apparence de momie à cause de sa peau tannée et de ses rides couvrant son visage et son corps. Le Scribe Ani prétend qu'il aurait atteint l'immortalité grâce à son Stand. On ne sait pas vraiment s'il bluffe ou s'il proclame la vérité. Il porte un collier de perles, plusieurs bracelets, des boucles d'oreilles et une grosse bague à l'annulaire de sa main droite. Il porte un chapeau plat avec une voile sur le cou pour se protéger du soleil, une large tunique, et des babouches.
Le Scribe Ani est accompagné d'un grand livre qui est son Stand Ptah.
Personnalité
Le Scribe Ani parle très lentement en raison de son âge avancé. Il est extrêmement respectueux de l'histoire et des traditions décrites dans son Livre "La Genèse de l'Univers", ou "The Genesis of Universe", qui est aussi son Stand. Lorsque Joseph et Polnareff endommagent son livre, Ani perd son calme habituel et se met en colère. Il a juré fidélité à DIO simplement parce que ce dernier possède aussi le pouvoir de l'immortalité.

Histoire
Passé
The Scribe Ani is a mercenary hired by DIO to kill the Joestar group in Cairo. He claims that the only reason he is still alive and didn't die from old age a thousand years ago is the existence of his Stand, which holds an ancient secret method of soul reincarnation, based on the old mummification method from the New Kingdom era. Because of that, his real identity remains unknown. He pledged loyalty to DIO as soon as he could because DIO also had "eternal life" as a vampire and was likely to be the conqueror of the world.
The Genesis of Universe: La Pierre tombale de sable chaud
The Scribe Ani follows the Joestar group and defeats Jean Pierre Polnareff. Believing Polnareff to be dead, Ani corners Muhammad Avdol and Joseph Joestar with his Stand, summoning many enemies to fight them. Polnareff appears to save them and works with Joseph to damage the Stand, but the plan ends up with everyone overwhelmed by more enemies. Jotaro finds out from a merchant that his friends disappeared and goes to the rescue, The Scribe Ani tries to overwhelm Jotaro Kujo by creating Ammit, the strongest ancient beast of Egypt. Ammit proves to be too much for Star Platinum to handle, but suddenly disappears after Polnareff and Joseph destroyed the part in The Genesis of Universe's pages where the creature is described. Jotaro blinds the Scribe Ani by throwing a perfume bottle at him so he wouldn't be able to summon anything else, and then destroys his body with a barrage of "Ora ora" punches. The nature of his body akin to that of a mummy lead to it crumbling away as ash, disappearing into the wind along with his Stand which faced the same effect, his real identity remaining unknown.[1]
