Bruno Buccellati was born on September 27, 1980, in a coastal town near Naples to a fisherman. After his parents’ divorce at age seven, he elected to live with his father, fearing the man’s potential loneliness—an early display of his protective instincts. At twelve, his father observed drug traffickers’ operations and was shot multiple times. While his father recovered in the hospital, the same traffickers tried to assassinate him. Buccellati concealed himself under the bed and slew both attackers with a knife. To shield against retaliation, he joined the criminal syndicate Passione. Under Polpo’s command in Passione, Buccellati ascended to capo, forming a squad he recruited during their bleakest moments: disgraced ex-officer Leone Abbacchio, homeless and malnourished teen Narancia Ghirga (whose eye infection Buccellati funded to cure), academically brilliant but violent outcast Pannacotta Fugo, and Guido Mista (freed from prison by Buccellati). Though he discouraged Narancia from gang life, Narancia joined after passing Polpo’s initiation. Buccellati initially condoned Passione’s operations but clashed internally as it expanded into drug trafficking—a trade he despised after his father’s suffering. Investigating gang member Leaky-Eye Luca’s death, Buccellati confronted Giorno Giovanna. After a brutal clash where Buccellati wielded Luca’s severed parts to intimidate Giorno, he acknowledged Giorno’s resolve and moral integrity. Giorno disclosed his goal to overthrow Passione’s boss and halt Naples’ drug trade. Buccellati allied with him, securing Giorno’s initiation by Polpo before introducing him to the team. Polpo’s death led Buccellati’s squad to recover hidden treasure, earning Buccellati a promotion. The boss then assigned them to guard his daughter, Trish Una. Escorting her to Venice, Buccellati uncovered the boss’s plan to kill Trish to preserve his anonymity. This betrayal ignited Buccellati’s rebellion; he denounced Passione, offering his team freedom to depart or follow. All except Fugo joined his insurrection. Facing the boss Diavolo on San Giorgio Maggiore island, Buccellati sustained mortal wounds. Giorno revived him using his Stand Gold Experience, but this only temporarily reanimated Buccellati’s body. His soul decayed, eroding his senses and motor control, rendering him a walking corpse. Defying this state, he spearheaded the hunt for Diavolo’s identity and retrieval of a Stand-enhancing Arrow. In Rome, Buccellati battled Secco, deafening him by detonating tires near his ears and imprisoning him in a garbage truck. He unwittingly guided Diavolo to informant Jean Pierre Polnareff. As Diavolo assaulted Polnareff, Polnareff used the Arrow to evolve his Stand Silver Chariot into Chariot Requiem—swapping souls among the living. Buccellati, inhabiting Diavolo’s body, identified Chariot Requiem’s weakness: a light-emitting orb. Shattering the orb restored souls to their bodies but caused Buccellati’s spirit to ascend eternally. He transferred the Arrow to Giorno before vanishing, enabling Giorno’s triumph. Buccellati commanded the Stand Sticky Fingers, generating zippers on any surface—even living tissue. He manipulated these zippers to open, close, or reconfigure matter for combat, defense, or mobility, such as concealing himself in objects or disassembling body parts without harm. His tactics leveraged environmental control and ambushes. Physically, he had a slim frame, black chin-length hair with straight bangs obscuring his forehead, featuring a central braid and hair clips. His signature attire was a white suit patterned with black spoon motifs and functional zippers, echoing his Stand. Underneath, he wore a lace top rendered as a tattoo in adaptations.
