Carne

"That pitiful man. He was used and abandoned like an old rag. He died with hatred in his heart. That hatred is his energy. An energy that activated for the first time when he died. An energy that not even he had ever seen before he died. Nothing can kill him anymore because he is a corpse."

- Words about Carne etched by his own Stand, VA Chapter 95

Carne (カルネ) is a minor antagonist featured in Vento Aureo.

As member of Passione and by extension the Boss' Unita Speciale, he is sent on a suicide mission to kill Team Bucciarati and Trish Una. Although he dies, his now-invincible Stand Notorious B.I.G continues to exist and attacks the gang on their way to Sardinia.

Appearance
Carne is an overweight man sporting a hairstyle which can be described as an inclined crewcut. Carne lacks a nose, having only nostrils, and has black circles under his eyes. His mouth appears in a small grin a majority of his appearance, save for its frown when Carne is injured and eventually killed. His pupils are heavily miotic, constantly staring forward. Overall, his expression appears ominous and intimidating.

Carne wears a stylized dark jumpsuit, on which shoulder-pads are added. He also wears saggy open-crotch pants and sports a large dark headband with the same symbols that pattern Bucciarati's suit.

Personality
While Carne displays no personality before his death, it can be assumed that he was loyal to Diavolo enough to give his life for him. As he approaches Team Bucciarati with no visible weapons and a self-assuring smile, he was likely dispatched as a suicide bomber of sorts.

Abilities
Notorious B.I.G is a strange Stand fueled by its user's hate, not unlike Ebony Devil; as such, its true power is only revealed when the user dies. At this point, it transforms into an autonomous, completely indestructible blob-like creature that attacks the fastest-moving object in its vicinity and devours anything it can to grow.

History
Carne was sent out by the boss to fight Bucciarati's team, summoning his Stand Notorious B.I.G. He was killed almost immediately by Mista, triggering the release of his Stand's true power. Upon riding the plane, the gang started to notice unusual things that were being caused by Carne's Stand.

Trivia

 * Carne's name and destiny may be inspired by the Italian term "carne da cannone" (lit. meat for cannons). It is an informal expression referring to expendable soldiers, who are sure to die on the battlefield. It is equivalent to the English term cannon fodder.
