Sogliola Lopez (ソリョラ・ロペス, Soryora Ropesu), also known as Seppia (セッピア), is the main antagonist of GioGio's Bizarre Adventure II: Golden Heart, Golden Ring, a light novel based on Vento Aureo.
Apparence
Sogliola Lopez est un vieil homme italien de petite taille. On ne décrit pas son apparence plus en profondeur dans le roman, mais une illustration montre qu'il porte un costume sombre dont les bras et les jambes sont couverts de motifs d'étoiles et qu'il porte des lunettes de soleil.
Personnalité
Sogliola est un capo désagréable, autoritaire et ambitieux qui opère à Venise.
En tant que capo, Sogliola fait preuve d'un haut niveau de compétence. Il opère à Venise, une ville où on note que la police est beaucoup plus stricte qu'ailleurs et a tout de même réussi monter une opérations de trafic de d'explosifs pour le compte du Passione couronnée de succès tout en gardant la police sous contrôle. Lopez est aussi un homme méticuleux. Il a gardé un œil sur les manieurs de Stands présents à Venise et a conçu un piège sur plusieurs niveaux dans lequel la Team Buccellati serait menacée par son pouvoir, puis un assassin et enfin l'un des Manieurs de Stands en ville dans un court laps de temps. Ainsi, il a réussi à exploiter le Purple Haze de Fugo et puis à faire du The Cure de Coniglio une menace pour la Team Buccellati.
Lopez montre plusieurs traits de caractère maléfiques. Durant son enfance, Lopez a été victime d'intimidation et rêvait d'acquérir du pouvoir pour dominer tout le monde. Il a gardé son ambition jusqu'à l'heure actuelle et il a permis sans ménagement à Purple Haze de provoquer plusieurs massacres en ville dans le cadre de son plan. Parce que Venice est un territoire mineur pour le gang Passione, Lopez n'est pas satisfait de sa position actuelle et exécute les ordres de son patron plus pour se faire promouvoir que par loyauté. Lorsqu'il parle à ses subordonnés, Lopez est toujours autoritaire et regarde de haut ses subordonnés. Il les insulte aussi constamment. Lorsqu'il a l'avantage, Lopez a du mal à résister à l'envie de rire du malheur de son adversaire.

Stand
Joy Division allows Lopez to switch objects between his two hands. Moreover, he can switch any object and even choose to delay the switch so that it happens later.
Compétences personnelles
Lopez is a rather intelligent capo. He has mastered his Stand and has managed to design several creative uses for him. Moreover, he's managed to create an elaborate plan to kill Team Bucciarati by exposing them to several dangers in short succession, all plans using the tools at his disposal and in a short enough timeframe that the team hasn't had time to leave Venice.
Histoire
Passé
Sogliola is a Passione capo who operates in the city of Venice. It is known that he was bullied in his youth and developed a great ambition. He eventually joined Passione and rose up to the rank of capo. He is a Stand user, but since his power is not considered very useful or powerful, he is denied a carrier advancement. He built up Seppia, his second identity, to fool the police and have a better control of the organization's traffic in the city.
Over the years, Lopez had compiled a list of all the Stand User in Venice, noting the existence of Coniglio and her The Cure.
Golden Heart, Golden Ring.
Things change when the Boss himself e-mails Sogliola, requiring Bucciarati's group to be executed. Seeing the assignment as a possibility to advance in Passione and move out from Venice, Sogliola persuades Pannacotta Fugo to help him in exchange for the organization's forgiveness. He elaborates a plan to kill the traitors. He first exposes Coniglio's The Cure to Purple Haze's virus, making it absorb the virus, and the pain and suffering of its victims. He also used his power on smuggled sea mines and polystyrene broken into small pieces and scattered in the sea. The moment the traitor took to the sea, Lopez teleported his mines in place of the polystyrene, forcing them to head for the Saint Mark square, where Rigatoni was also posted to shoot the traitors. However, Mista and Giorno defeated him.
In the basilica, Lopez unleashed The Cure, which had grown to a giant size because of Purple Haze. Lopez observed the battle protected by a biohazard suit but it was somehow pierced and Lopez retreated to an exit route. He is however betrayed by Fugo who has only pretended to obey him in order to save his friends. Cornered by Team Bucciarati, Sogliola attempts to escape in the sewers by teleporting, but is intercepted by Mista and caught up to by Bruno Bucciarati. Ensnared into vines, Lopez attempts to touch Bucciarati to switch places but Bucciarati pummels him with Sticky Fingers.
