History

Background

Rikiel was born in 1988 as an illegitimate son to Dio Brando and an unnamed woman.^[1] Years prior to meeting Pucci and obtaining a Stand, Rikiel suffered from constant panic attacks: his eyelids constantly fell and his knees gave out. He would attempt to take exams in school, only to suffer from his conditions, which caused him to stop attending school. These conditions were so severe that he wasn't even able to drive a car, and this dramatically decreased his self-confidence.

Stone Ocean (2011-2012)

In 2012, Rikiel was recovering from his injuries in a Orlando hospital after a motorcycle crash where he would meet his Half brothers and Pucci. Upon conversing with Pucci and obtaining his Stand, Rikiel instantly became more confident, going as far as to present himself to Jolyne group believing he could easily defeat them. Though new to his abilities, Rikiel used his Stand powers well, weakening Jolyne's body with the use of his anatomical knowledge. Due to this knowledge, he was able to manipulate Jolyne, Ermes, and Emporio's conditions to deal various biological setbacks to them.

It was when Jolyne set herself on fire to counter the effect of Rikiel's Stand that he began to lose confidence, forcing Rikiel to set himself ablaze as well, believing that he could find her weakness by feeling her pain and attempting to conquer the odds. Jolyne, however, came out on top, dealing a massive blow to Rikiel and ensuring his death. Mortally wounded, Rikiel used his own Stand on himself, removing his ability to feel pain and holding onto Jolyne to force his Stand into a last-ditch effort to kill her. However, she allowed this and continued her attack, coincidentally using his hand to block his ability to sap her heat. Defeated, Rikiel reflects on his past and the coincidence that was able to characterize his defeat and Pucci's power, and reveals that Weather Report is actually Pucci's younger twin brother. Just as he reveals this, however, Ermes deals a harsh blow to his head, defeating him.^[9]
