Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli (シーザー・アントニオ・ツェペリ, Shīzā Antonio Tseperi) is an ally and friend of Joseph Joestar featured in Part II: Battle Tendency.
Caesar Zeppeli is a blond, suave ladies' man, as well as a skilled ripple user. He is rather cool and collected, especially compared to Joseph, with whom he is grudgingly paired to fight the Pillar Men, but over time Joseph starts to grow on him to the point where he is "even able to understand his strange thought patterns".
When Caesar and his two brothers and two sisters were children, their father suddenly left them with no explanation. As a result, Caesar grew up hating his father thinking he was out living a new life. However, one day when Caesar spotted him walking, he tails him with the intention of killing him, down to a secret passage leading to the Pillar Men under the Colosseum. Caesar then spots a jewel, not knowing that it was part of Wamuu's trap, but his father pushes him out of the way, sacrificing himself for Caesar, leading Caesar to admire his father and swear revenge on the Pillar Men.
Some time after Caesar desires revenge against the Pillar Men, he trains under Lisa Lisa in the use of the hamon, but apparently has learned little more than the fundamentals and still needed to go through the final part of the ripple training in order to master it fully.
Joseph, Speedwagon and Caesar are taken to where the Pillar Men were found by Caesar's friend, a young Nazi named Mark. When they arrive they are horrified to find that all the soldiers that were there had been killed, and Mark is nonchalantly killed by the Pillar Men. Enraged at his friend's death Caesar attacks the Pillar Men but Wamuu's headgear renders his 'Bubble Launcher' useless and he is injured. In order to protect Caesar and Speedwagon from Wamuu Joseph feigns cowardice to lead him away. Caesar eventually finds Joseph and witnesses him bluffing Wamuu and Esidisi into leaving and having the Wedding Rings implanted inside him. Finding newfound respect for Joseph, Caesar decides to help him get stronger in order to defeat the Pillar Men.
Caesar presents Joseph to Lisa Lisa and they begin their training together. For their first challenge Lisa Lisa forces them to tackle 'Hell Climb Pillar', a pillar covered with oil that requires expert control of the ripple to climb. Caesar is able to climb the tower, but expresses concern for Joseph, who is less experienced than him. When Joseph nearly reaches the peak but slips Caesar grabs his arm, saving him. After weeks of training the two reached the final phase where Caesar had to defeat Messina managing to win after Messina admitting defeat admitting that continuing the fight would result in either one or both of them dying, acknowledging how far Caesar has developed his abilities. When he returns he finds out Esidisi's remains have possessed Suzie Q. They manage to save Suzie Q by using their combined ripple to neutralize the damage to her body, while still forcing Esidisi out.
During the pursuit of Kars Caesar goes ahead of the rest of the group to fight Wamuu, and Messina goes to help him. Caesar almost manages to kill the Pillar Man, however he closed in for his final attack, his shadow then was taken advantage of by Wamuu to hide from the sunlight, and so he is dealt a deathblow. As he is about to die, he rips off Wamuu's lip piercing with an antidote and sends it with his headband in a ripple bubble made of his blood for Joseph before his body is crushed by a cross-shaped rock.
As a highly trained individual, Caesar possesses very high physical abilities: along with a large amount of physical strength and proficiency in hand to hand combat, Caesar has demonstrated an amazing sense of balance, and even being able to perform the "seated jump" that his grandfather previously performed.
Caesar also boasts a high level of endurance far surpassing normal humans, being able to survive for a few days without food, and taking high amount of physical punishment and still getting up to continue fighting. His endurance was best demonstrated when even after receiving Wamuu's Holy Sandstorm head on, he still managed to get up and continue fighting for a short amount of time, even managing to produce a Ripple after losing huge amounts of blood.Caesar also has high precision, managing to catch a Ripple enhanced spaghetti thrown by Joseph using the holes in the tortiglioni he was eating.
Having been trained under Lisa Lisa, Caesar is able to efficiently use the ripple in various techniques. He is able to use more advanced techniques such as focusing the ripple on the fingertips, and much like Joseph, can channel the ripple through objects, such as a weapon, food, or even living beings.
The base for most of his attacks relies on his gloves, which are loaded with a special soap-like substance. Because of this, he is able to release bubbles from his hands at anytime and fuse them with the ripple to create deadly projectiles.
Caesar is not playable in Heritage for the Future, however when Young Joseph ("JOJO") does one of his special attacks, instead of whispering Lisa Lisa's name (who appears on PART III Joseph's special move), he screams out Caesar's name and an picture of Caesar appears on the background, among with several manga moments from PART II.
Caesar makes his first playable appearance in the PS3 title. He is one of the 6 characters who uses the Hamon as his main style and was confirmed for the game alongside Eisidisi.
Most of Caesar's special attacks utilizes his special techniques using his bubble based Hamon attacks with some variation types, such as the Bubble Gliding, where he throws some Hamon infused bubbles that will hit the opponent, the Hamon Bubble Launcher where Caesar throws a series of bubbles as projectile (also works on the air) and his Hamon Bubble Lenses, which works as a projectile as the bubbles will act as a magnifying glass and shoot a ray of light at the opponent.
During his HHA, Caesar will trap the enemy in a large Hamon Bubble to immobilize them which then explodes and causes damage on the enemy (similar to what he did to Joseph when they first meet in Part II). His GHA involves his Bubble Lenses, where the enemy gets surrounded by a multitude of lenses that refract the light from the sun and fire with multiple beams of light, causing opponent to burn (Much like how he attacked Wamuu during his final battle). If Caesar is defeated by a regular attack, he will remove his headband and encase it in a bloody bubble as he slowly keels over (similar to his last moments before his death).
If Caesar fights Will Zeppeli, before the match start they will have a special dialogue, where Caesar says he will make Zeppeli pays for what he did to his family's namesake.
Caesar also managed to win the first place on his League Group on All-Star Battle League, beating Polnareff, Esidisi and even Jotaro. Also made his way to the semi-finals matches, but ultimately lost to DIO.
Caesar posses two alternate costumes, the first being his debut attire (wearing William Zeppeli's hat) and the second one being his attire from his first battle against Wamuu (jacket-less and wearing a top).
Caesar's appears as one of the several characters who possesses a Metal Striker in the game. During his FINISH move, Caesar shoots several Hamon Bubble Cutter on the defeated opponent.
Also, Caesar's Level 2 ability allows his Metal Striker to drop a single Bubble each time he hits an enemy. During the opponent's turn, if an enemy hits the bubble, it's Metal Striker looses a certain amount of Health Points.
Caesar was one of the first characters confirmed for the game. Since the game reproduces several animations and moveset from All-Star Battle, his gameplay remains mostly the same. His only new move it's the Hamon Bubble Barrier, as it can trap the enemy allowing the player to attack.
His main partner is Joseph Joestar, their special tag move it's the positive and negative Hamon wave (the same one they both used to save Suzy Q from Esidisi's control). If paired with Joseph and Caesar dies in action, he'll repeat his last moment before dead, removing his headband and screaming to his friend earn his will, making Joseph receive a PowerUp.
Unlike the previous game, his main color scheme is now based on his anime appearance.
