Risotto Nero

Risotto Nero (リゾット・ネエロ) is a minor character appearing in Part V: Vento Aureo.

Risotto Nero is the leader of La Squadra di Esecuzione. He confronts Vinegar Doppio on a beach in Costa Smeralda, Sardinia.

Appearance
Risotto Nero is a 28-year-old man of average to above-average height and fit or medium build.

He wears a black, hood-like headpiece from which hang six small, metallic baubles, bearing the letters "Z", "I" and "R" on one side, from left to right; mirrored on the right. This piece hides his hair; though his light bangs (originally dark) almost reach his eyebrows. Light-eyed, his sclera are completely black.

Bare-chested, he wears a long, black, lapelless coat with straps crossing his chest in an X; and pants in thick horizontal stripes of black and white.

Personality
Risotto is serious, decisive and intelligent.

Abilities
Risotto's Stand, Metallica, comprises a mass of miniscule beings residing in his bloodstream; able to rise to his surface and camoflage him by refracting light; and enable him to manipulate metal through magnetism.

History
When Risotto Nero was 14 years old, his cousin was run over by a drunk driver. Though the driver was punished by the law, Risotto could not forgive him and, four years later, at age 18, he assassinated the driver. From then on, he began living a life in underworld society. At age 21, Risotto Nero obtained his Stand and with it, decided to join the mafia. Risotto was assigned his very own group of assassins, which were called upon whenever they were needed, because Risotto became known for being able to take out his assigned target no matter who it may be.

Eventually, Risotto thought his current position wasn't enough, as he was not allowed territorial control like other trusted mafia groups. Enraged, Risotto decided to expose the Boss's identity. The result was the death of the two men who were sent to try and expose him and from there on, Risotto and his group were branded as renegades. His group now attempts to kidnap the Boss's daughter to exact their revenge.

Vento Aureo
Risotto is introduced as the leader of the assassins investigating the Boss's identity and follows Bruno Buccellati's group to Sardinia. However, he takes notice of Doppio and, finding him unusual, decides to test him with attacks from Metallica. Upon suspecting that Doppio was the boss, Risotto's plan to kill him goes awry with the unintentional interference of Narancia's Aerosmith, and he himself is fatally wounded. He attempts a last ditch attack, with Metallica controlling Aerosmith to shoot at the boss, but is finally killed when the bullets pass through him via King Crimson's time erase.

Golden Whirlwind (PS2)
Risotto is the only villain character from Part V who doesn't appear in the game as an enemy in SUPER STORY or any STORY DRAMA, presumably because he did not actually fight any of the protagonists in the original story line. However, his character model can be seen in the GALLERY MODE.

All-Star Battle (PS3)
Despite not making an actual appearance himself, his Stand, Metallica, can be see during the loading screen.

Eyes of Heaven (PS3)
Much like the previous game, his stand, Metallica, returns as part of some loading screens.

Trivia

 * Due to his unseen actions and his group hunting down Trish Una and Buccellati's Gang, he may be viewed as the main antagonist of Part V, if not for Diavolo.
 * In Golden Whirlwind (PS2), he shares his voice actor with fellow La Squadra di Esecuzione member Illuso and Jean Pierre Polnareff.
