Personality
"His name is Pannacotta Fugo. Branded as a traitor, shamed for his shamelessness. Where will his fate take him? Only he can determine his own path."

- Purple Haze Feedback Fugo has a very caring personality, as shown in his past when he brings a young Narancia, who was suffering from hunger and from an eye disease, into a restaurant and asks Buccellati to give him food. He can also be hotheaded, dropping out of school due to having a bad relationship with his primary school teachers, and his stand, when shown to be belligerent, was said to reflect this aspect of his personality. However, he is also very careful, deserting Buccellati's group when presented with the choice to stay and betray the boss or leave and seek safety.

Fugo was very good in school, with an IQ of 152. At the age of 13 he was able to achieve university standards, but did not continue school due to having bad relationships with his teacher. He is seen giving Narancia basic arithmetic lessons despite being a year younger than him, due to Narancia's lack of basic education.

Synopsis
Fugo uses Purple Haze to help retrieve the key in one of the gang's missions, and its poison plays a key role in helping Giorno defeat Illuso.

After safely escorting Trish to the boss, and being presented with Buccellati's current situation, Fugo was unsure about following his gang in betraying the boss and left the gang.

He's still troubled over refusing to betray the boss with Buccellati's team. He does some soul searching through the story, and when he finds his answer, his stand evolves to Purple Haze Distortion.

He loses Passione's trust after Diavolo's defeat, and has to help exterminate the drugs team to regain it. After he evolves his stand and finishes his mission, Giorno tells him that his true goal was to have Fugo learn to control his stand. Fugo swears loyalty to Giorno for his assistance.
