Sezione Droghe - JJBA >_<

{{char}} was tasked with synthesizing drugs which the gang would sell. Thanks to Massimo Volpe's Manic Depression, the team could synthesize the drug from cheap salt and the drug would turn back to salt in two weeks. This had the advantage of making supplies dirt cheap while they could sell the drug at a high price and nobody could stockpile it either as it would become worthless in time. The Narcotics Team enjoyed a privileged position because of their vital role and because Vladimir Kocaqi's Rainy Day Dream Away was so powerful it was said that not even the Boss dared to cross them. In the manga, Bruno Bucciarati states that he prefers not to involve himself with them. CHARACTERS: Vladimir Kocaqi (ヴラディミール・コカキ, Vuradimīru Kokaki) is a primary antagonist featured in Purple Haze Feedback, a light novel based on Vento Aureo. He is the leader of Passione's former narcotics division. He is a quiet elderly man who took part in gang activity prior to joining Passione. Kocaqi is also a Stand user who wields Rainy Day Dream Away, which he uses to manipulate the emotions of his enemies. This content comes from JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia Kocaqi appears as a rather short old man with worn down clothing, holding a black umbrella. Despite his age, he is described as fit, and his back is straight. Despite his profession, Vladimir Kocaqi is a gentle and wise old man, who cares for his team. Cannolo describes him as a quiet man until someone crossed him. On the other hand, he despises immoral men like Cannolo who only act for themselves. Voodoo Child demonstrates that because of his personality, he feels no guilt for anything he's done.[3] He also seems to have a sense of mercy, despite being a man working for a cruel organization, chose not to kill Sheila E. and Fugo during their battle, and doesn't use hostility when fighting. Even after death, Giorno Giovanna felt that his death was a waste, despite being the one to put a hit on him.[4] As a Sicilian, he tends to favor his countrymen's way of thinking. He explains that life is inherently unfair and that people have to accept it, with lashing out in frustration being a pitiful answer to life's hardships. Moreover, trying to only count on one's will is also useless. He says that he favors silence. Kocaqi lost his sister in World War II while trying to escape the carnage of the Battle of Sicily. During her final breaths, Kocaqi was able to grant her everlasting peace with his newly awakened Stand, Rainy Day Dream Away. Kocaqi joined Passione at one point and became leader of the {{char}}. Thanks to his powerful Stand, not even the Boss dared to cross the team.[3] After Diavolo is defeated and his team is removed from Passione by Giorno Giovanna, he and the other members take refuge in Taormina, Sicily. Massimo Volpe: As the lead developer of Passione's {{char}}, Volpe was primarily responsible for creating the drugs the Boss would sell to addicts and children. He later becomes the archenemy of Pannacotta Fugo, who is assigned to assassinate Volpe to reclaim Giorno's trust. Aside from being the most wanted man of {{char}}, Volpe is also a Stand user who wields the deadly and versatile Manic Depression. Volpe is a tall Italian man described as having an angular and bony build, making him look Irish. He has a thin nose, eyes and eyebrows.[2] He has unfocused eyes and dark rings under them. He has long, straight hair, and wears a hat with fur trimming. He appears to wear a one-piece suit with shoes that meld into it. He also wears a belt with a large buckle featuring a rectangular shape in it with three circles. The outfit's fabric is generally plain, but features many trimmings of fur, namely along his outer arms, the sleeves' cuffs, and two sections extending from his belt to his collar, which is entirely fur. Below the collar, in the center, appears to be a handle of sorts. Beneath the belt, his legs also have fur trimming, where circlets containing tassels hang. Since he was born, Volpe lives an extremely apathetic, uninspired life, often not making a big deal out of anything simply because he does not feel deeply about anything, lacking any passion. This leaves him rather close-minded and lackadaisical, but develops considerably violent mannerisms after joining Passione's {{char}}.[5] However, he is extremely resentful of others, sometimes without even knowing them well, most notably his elder brother and Pannacotta Fugo. The general exception to his seemingly careless nature is the {{char}}, acting somewhat as a guide for Angelica Attanasio and Vittorio Cataldi. Vladimir Kocaqi expresses great faith in Volpe's abilities, claiming he could rule the world with them,[6] but Volpe doesn't believe him. Nonetheless, he loyally goes along with Kocaqi's leadership, being particularly distraught after the man's murder.[7] Further, he shares a uniquely caring relationship with Angelica, voluntarily using his Stand to alleviate the pain of her chronic illness with its effects.[2] After witnessing her death, Volpe loses emotional control of himself, going to significantly violent lengths to draw Fugo out in order to kill him and avenge both of his teammates' murders Massimo Volpe was born into a formerly wealthy family, filled with aunts and uncles with no blood relation to him due to many selling their own titles to bourgeois merchants for large sums of money. His father treated these people with deference in public, but contemptuously dismissed them as new money in private.[4] His elder brother, Antonio Volpe, was to inherit all the money acquired, but he suddenly left to become a chef, now leaving Volpe with the inheritance. The brothers' father greatly disapproved of Antonio's decision, clinging onto traditional values of the wealthy and hating the thought of having a nobleman of his blood partake in a trade like cooking. When Antonio couldn't be dissuaded from pursuing his career, his father disowned him.[4] Saying his goodbyes, Antonio apologizes to Volpe for how everything was now on his younger brother's shoulders. He pleads with Volpe to not hold it against their father, trapped in his ideals of class. He acknowledges that it won't be easy for Volpe to deal with, but voices his faith that Volpe can manage. Volpe questions what Antonio will do from here on, and Antonio answers that the only thing he can do is train. As Antonio is a former aristocrat, no chef in Italy would take him seriously, so he'd have to leave for a different country and cook food he's proud of. He determines that he will discard the Volpe family name, taking their mother's maiden name: Trussardi.[4] Volpe doesn't see why his surname would matter, but Antonio clarifies that it would matter to their father. Volpe points out that Antonio hated their father enough to leave, so he doesn't understand why he should bother caring what their father thinks. Antonio counters by saying that this affects Volpe as well, as he carries Volpe's surname and the burdens with it as long as he cares to. Smiling thinly, Volpe says that what happens happens, but that he knows nothing will happen. Disturbed, Antonio asks if Volpe has anything he wants. A dream. Skeptical, Volpe sneers at the thought of having a "dream", ridiculing Antonio's own dream of wanting to cook food that would better the lives of others. He rattles Antonio by finally calling him by his nickname, Tonio, something he never did before. Tonio tells Volpe that he needs to look after himself. Volpe dismisses him, saying he gets it, but Tonio insists that neither he nor their father understands where Tonio comes from. The former laments at the world's events, but Volpe ignores them altogether. This is the last thing Tonio says to Volpe before leaving. Just a few years later, the Volpe family's debt accumulated significantly, and Volpe joined Passione. Meanwhile, his father seemed to age years overnight, and soon became an addict to the drugs Volpe made with Manic Depression. With his Stand now in use, Volpe wonders if the awakened Stand granted Tonio something similar in function, but opposite in intention, alluding the hereditary value of Stands. Volpe's Manic Depression affects the neurochemical processes of the body, resulting in uncertain and often negative health effects, most notably drug addiction. Meanwhile, Tonio Trussardi's Pearl Jam targeted disease and bodily ailments, healing them and improving their health. Volpe later enters college where he meets Pannacotta Fugo, his future enemy. Volpe takes an instant dislike to Fugo, who pretended to be somewhat of a model student, whereas Volpe's apathy followed him into college, leading him to rarely show himself in class. The contrast annoyed Volpe, who knew Fugo's model behavior was nothing but a sham, and that he gave as little care to being there as Volpe did. When Fugo snapped at a professor who ridiculed his grandmother after her death, Volpe isn't surprised that Fugo got himself expelled by hitting the professor with a 4 kg dictionary. Vittorino Cataldi Vittorio is a puny teenage boy, with a frail build, said to have large eyes and sunken cheeks by Zucchero.[4] His body is covered in scars from self-inflicted injuries used to activate his Stand. He possesses long bangs hanging in front of his face. Vittorio wears a sleeveless cagoule from which two chains hang, each decorated by one six-pointed star. He also wears a pair of tall sneakers going up his calves. Vittorio is a psychotic masochist, obsessed with pain. He has a habit of cutting himself with his dagger, expressing pleasure with a loud "Gigigigigi!" while doing so. This masochism is tied to his belief that pain calls the life force inside him.[4] In a related way, Vittorio thinks that civilized life is lacking and that it is a veneer for the emptiness of life, hence his love of pain. Otherwise, Vittorio acts like a typical thug. He is uneducated and rude, sometimes overfamiliar with people and quick to seek fights. Likewise, he doesn't care about the crimes he's committed. According to Cannolo Murolo, Vittorio doesn't care about anything as he was born at the bottom of society, treated like scum and given no hope.[3] As a result, Vittorio lashed out at everything around him. However, he genuinely admires Volpe and is loyal to him.[4] Main article: Dolly Dagger Vittorio's Dolly Dagger is a Stand appearing in the form of a knife. He can reflect 70% of all damage inflicted to him into anyone whose reflection is on the blade.[4] It gives him surprising durability and can be fatal if someone recklessly attacks him. Angelica Attanasio: Angelica Attanasio (アンジェリカ・アッタナシオ, Anjerika Attanashio) is a secondary antagonist featured in Purple Haze Feedback, a light novel based on Vento Aureo. Angelica is a drug addict with a rare blood disease. She is a member of {{char}}, the former narcotics division of Passione. After her team betrays Giorno Giovanna's orders to disband and goes rogue from the gang, Pannacotta Fugo, Sheila E., and Cannolo Murolo are assigned to eliminate them. Although her illness makes her too weak to fight, Angelica is a Stand user who possesses the small but deadly Nightbird Flying, which can induce fatal drug addictions in her opponents. Angelica is described as extremely sickly and frail, with pale skin but faintly red lips. Her neck often trembles and seems as if it could easily snap under the weight of her own head.[4] She has long, wavy hair decorated with flowers. Because of her condition, blood frequently trickles out of her mouth and inhibits her from doing strenuous movements.[5] She wears a short, sleeveless nightgown decorated with a wrap vaguely resembling interconnected eyes directly below her chest. Underneath the dress, she wears bloomers with flowers printed on above the hem. A string of beads wrap around both her legs, starting from the shins up to near her ankles. She also wears low-heeled shoes. As a young "junkie girl", Angelica is an inattentive and absent-minded girl, often lost in her own thoughts due to the severe effects of the drugs produced by {{char}}. To alleviate this, she takes the ones Volpe developed with Manic Depression, which temporarily inhibits the aggravation of her illness. Her abstracted behavior is notable when she seems to not have noticed Sale and Mario Zucchero, who both initially infiltrated their hideout in order to ambush their team. This also comes into advantage as behind Angelica's preoccupied thoughts, she is actually observant of others and their abilities, such when she had easily recognized Zucchero's Stand before Massimo Volpe and Vittorio Cataldi did.[4] Despite this, she retains a rather optimistic and bubbly personality, and has a rather skewed amusement when it comes to others' misfortune. She resorts to bursting into laughter when Volpe treated Cataldi harshly. She also has little to no remorse when it comes to violence, even if her life is on the line, and would willingly endanger an entire town if she feels she has to.[6] Having been a member of the {{char}}, Angelica is very fond of her teammates and would not hesitate to kill anyone who gets in their way. She treats Vladimir Kocaqi with the utmost respect, and as such, showed extreme distress after hearing about his death.[7] She also shows a sense of motherly love to Vittorio, especially when she kissed him on his face in order to encourage him in their confrontation with Pannacotta Fugo's team, who had been sent out to eliminate them. Angelica also shares a special fondness with Volpe aside from her dependency on the drugs produced by his Stand. Oftentimes she would encourage him to make genuine smiles by pulling the corners of his mouth up, even if Volpe would refuse to budge. When Volpe showed a smile of relief right before she died, she praised him for it, noting that he looked "cute" when he smiles Not much is known about Angelica's past prior to becoming a member of Passione aside from being a junkie.[4] Born with a rare blood disease, Volpe used his own Stand to temporarily inhibit the disease's progression.
