In contrast to his usual highly-controlled persona, Avdol can be prone to panicking in unexpected situations, such as nearly using his flames in an airplane against Tower of Gray before Noriaki Kakyoin stops him, and exclaiming that the group needs to quickly learn SCUBA diving in the High Priestess arc, prompting Joseph to ask him to stop panicking. Acting as Joseph's second in command, and being the second oldest man of the Joestar Group, Avdol is aware of the danger they are facing, and he frequently advocates caution during their journey. Avdol is regularly seen reflecting on the group's next move. His loyalty is such that when Polnareff accused him to have fled DIO like a coward, Avdol almost lost his cool and hit Polnareff.Ī strategic thinker and experienced Stand user, Avdol often tries to act as the voice of reason to the rest of the team, although his self-described "emotional" temperament does not always make him suitable for this role (such as during the D'Arby the Gambler arc, when Avdol states that his strong emotions make him unsuited for playing poker). During their duel, Avdol commended Polnareff's own chivalry and returned the Frenchman's gestures of honor, such as explaining his Stand's power to him. On two occasions he placed himself in mortal danger to save Jean Pierre Polnareff and Iggy. Besides, Avdol is willing to die for his comrades. When Tower of Gray gratuitously killed unrelated bystanders, Avdol was furious. He is highly dedicated to stopping DIO as one of the two first members of the party remarkably so since he is the only one not to fight him for personal reasons. Accordingly, he is very concerned with maintaining his "image" (as he states repeatedly in the fight against Mariah) as a mature and responsible person.Īvdol sacrifices his life protecting Polnareff and IggyĪvdol possesses a "strong sense of duty and loyalty". (Grey top and trousers, brown overcoat, golden necklace and silver bracelets)Īvdol generally presents himself as a serious, responsible and overall righteous individual.
In addition, Avdol's appearance from this point forward includes a scar in the middle of his forehead (covered by his headband) as well as a scar on his upper back (covered by his clothing). Prior to the fight with Cameo, he wears a traditional Egyptian garment known as a jellabiya (or galabeya) under his outer robe, but from the Cameo fight onward, he wears a shirt and pants. He wears a varying number of thick metallic bracelets on both of his wrists. The smaller medallions are engraved with various other symbols. The largest of these medallions is engraved with the Egyptian ankh symbol a large tassel hangs from this medallion, resting atop his chest. He wears earrings comprised of a single, long chain of medallions, resembling a necklace. He wears a headband or headscarf wrapped around his forehead and keeps his hair in a style resembling Bantu knots, as well as wearing a long ponytail. He has two identical scars that run down his cheeks. His main attire consists of a long overcoat or robe with wrist-length sleeves (he later switches to a robe with elbow-length sleeves) and a scarf around his neck. 9.3 Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)Īvdol is an Egyptian man of above-average height and medium to heavy build.
