## Ogio Engio

### Namesake

Ogio Engio: Play on an Italian spelling for 오징어 (Ojing-eo), which is Korean for "squid", in reference to TV series "Squid Game".

### Status

Dead

Ogio Engio is a Capo overseeing the hitman teams of Southern Italy, notably Naples and Sicily, and a minor influential antagonist in Fate of Zephyr. In Vento Aureo, he is actually one of the police officers in charge of overseeing Polpo in prison.

Initially believed to be merely a morbidly obese man named **Polpo** who was imprisoned for his crimes, it was revealed that he was one of the police officers standing guard at the prison cell and used Polpo as a mouth piece to communicate with mafiosos, notably Giorno Giovanna, during his test and when interacting with those he does not favor as much. The real Ogio Engio ultimately died as a result of Giorno defeating his Stand, killing its user as a result, and Polpo ended up committing suicide by poisoning himself our of fear. Out of all the mafiosos that know him, only Ariel Sal and Cassio Montagna knew of his true identity, prompting The Rise to send Ariel and Briano Zucchero to pursue his supposedly hidden treasure once hearing about his actual death; Ogio Engio's remaining subordinates were killed off by Ariel and Briano for refusing to give them the necessary coordinates and intel needed to find Ogio Engio's hidden treasure. It was the two of them that prompted The Rise to became suspicious about The Hitman Team after observing that they were only team to not have any members attend the subsequent funeral, overhearing a dying subordinate relaying information to someone on the phone that they traced to belong to Cassio's number, and tracking it to a boat heading to Capri. Despite being a Capo, like other members of higher rank, Ogio Engio does not know much about Father Diavolo in terms of his identity but worships him otherwise.

To perform his infamous test, Ogio Engio used his Stand Y2K, which worked similar to Black Sabbath in terms of hiding in shadows and inflicting the arrow onto any victim it encounters.

## Appearance

Through his puppet, Ogio Engio is referred to as "Polpo" and appears very similar to the original Polpo. He is heavily obese and towering, having an exaggeratedly large head proportional to the rest of his body. His eyes are completely black and his nose is pointy. Like the original Polpo, the puppet wears a cap with multiple gold-colored protrusions that makes him appear lion-like. His two-layered tunic laced at the bottom appears to be a fancy coat lined with fur. The jewelry he wore, like his cuff bracelets and long necklace, is also gold and covered in small square reflective places. He appears to be wearing a protruding earpiece used to communicate and talk for Ogio Engio, although it can only be seen at a certain angle. Polpo appears to be playing with a pair of 딱지 (Ddakji) painted red and blue, which he also uses as a coaster for his tea, when he first gets up to meet Giorno.

His true appearance is the complete opposite. Ogio Engio is instead a man with average height and a very thin build, believed to be caused by early malnutrition in his childhood. He has dark eyes that many claim to be both haunting and alluring. Ogio Engio wears a typical police uniform that is similar to the other guards in terms of style: white button-up underneath a two-piece Napoli police uniform, and a dark green silk tie. However, unlike the other guards, Ogio Engio's uniform is dark pink with a longer tail in the back and he also wears a black moretta mask that reveals a pale complexion underneath and barely some wrinkles that appeared on his forehead. His bright red hair is parted off center and wavy, resembling a successful young businessman, but also implying that he is balding due to his prominent forehead and the hairline appearing to be receeding. Unlike the other guards that wear white gloves, he wears black leather ones that appear to be worn down from wear and tear, specifically at his fingers. He also wears knee length boots with his uniform pants tucked in. He also wears an earpiece used to communicate with his puppet with a small microphone attached at the side. His uniform also appears to have bank notes that resemble Italian Lira bills sticking out of shirt openings and pockets; it is unknown whether the money actually belongs to him or is even real.

He is seen stroking a piggybank painted gold when Giorno walks into the jailhouse. The piggybank is revealed to have some money in form of various bills and coins of different currencies, as well as a slip of paper detailing the coordinates of his treasure, when it fell from Ogio Engio's hands as he passed away and was subsequently destroyed as it was being relayed to Cassio.

## Personality

His puppet appears to act as a typical Mafioso superior, though lacking in manners and proving his knowledge and appreciation for the arts and philosophy as superficial. He also enjoys eating food and demands attention to detail in regards to what he eats. Upon encountering Giorno again after the real Ogio Engio's death, he is revealed to be a cowardly man, attempting to maintain his façade of being the real Capo and for once refusing to eat due to fear. This strange behavior led Giorno to not change a banana in the fridge into a gun; the puppet ultimately committed suicide anyways and revealed that he himself did not want to live such a life as Ogio Engio's face.

Ogio Engio, however, is revealed to be just as affable and ruthless. He is remorseful and seemed to enjoy the pain and suffering he either inflicted himself or help inflict onto others. An enigmatic character to outsiders, he tries to emulate a similar style to Father Diavolo by having his own wall of secrecy and uses his puppet frequently to communicate with his subordinates besides his most trusted: the guards seen surrounding him in the jail cell. Unlike the original Polpo, he seems to idolize the Boss and was once willing to do his bidding at the cost of his own mother's well-being and life prior to his promotion, as he implied to the officers when he arrived after Giorno left the cell. While he sees much of the people he oversees as his pawns and disposable at his will, he is generous and respectful to a degree towards the subordinates that are proven useful to him. Two major examples of this are Ariel knowing his true identity as Ogio Engio and Cassio also knowing the identity and being entrusted to hide the 10 billion dollar lira. Ogio Engio seems to have a major favoritism towards The Rise, wishing he could interact with them more instead of The Hitman Team and Team Bucciarati since the infamous feud. Like the original Polpo, he shows a very keen sense of awareness, which he uses often with his Stand, but not enough to notice that Giorno had already obtained a Stand prior to the test and was killed as a result.

To his subordinates, excluding Polpo, he demands their appearance to be well-kept but shows a charismatic, paternal side to them in secret. This explained why Giorno was shocked at how the officers guarding him appeared smartly dressed and carried themselves rather highly compared to a typical policeman and seemed unfazed with the stories being told while Giorno was brought into Polpo's chamber. It is unknown how he is able to mesmerize his underlings to see him favorably (rumor has it that his Stand was more than what he claimed it to be), but he is able to recruit and dispose his underlings with minimal issue. However, this charisma is not influential to everyone, as Giorno, Uriele Carne, and Olio Nero is able to see through it all compared to their peers. It is believed that Ogio Engio's influence caused many police officers to go down the path of corruption. Leonardo Abbadia once said that being bribed by him was the moment in his life where he decided to finally accept bribery and use it to his advantage, leading to Fedel Agnellogetting injured and discharged soon after.

## Abilities

### Stand

Y2K is a far-range autonomous Stand that works similarly to Black Sabbath.

It is unknown or unconfirmed whether it also has the ability to hypnotize or mesmerize others into not being aware of words, as it was used to tell terrible stories that still encaptivated people.

 Not much is known about Ogio Engio, not even his real birth name. However, he is speculated to have some sort of influence within the law prior to becoming a mafioso and Capo of Passione.

## Life Prior to Fate of Zephyr

It was unknown how he came to know Father Diavolo or how he ended up being the Capo, but his ascension and initiation was rumored to begin due to his gambling addiction and going as far as pimping out his mother against her will in order to earn some money to feed his addiction; his mother was eventually driven to suicide when Ogio Engio no longer needed her. It is unknown whether he was a natural-born user or obtained his Stand with the Arrow, but he eventually earned Y2K and used it as his method of initiating new members of Passione. Father Diavolo granted him precedence over the Southern Italy territories, allowing Ogio Engio to set up his own headquarters in Naples. It is rumored that he has as much as 10 teams under him and as little as 4- the later is comparatively the most out of some Capos- although it is unknown whether number is actually true. Two of these teams are Team #47 and Team #99. At some point, he begins favoring Team #88 and eventually Team #47 as well; he went as far as revealing Ariel Sal and later Cassio Montagna his true identity.

It is through his tests that he was able to obtain various mafiosos of various Stand abilities. While most were intentional and caused during a proper trial, a few, such as Taehyung Pescatore, were unsuspecting victims who relit the lighter and gained their Stands as a result. It was heavily implied that Leonardo Abbadia worked for him as a guard at one point prior to the events of Fate of Zephyr.

### Overseeing the Discourse between Team #47 and #99

It is through Ogio Engio that Father Diavolo sent his orders on how to deal with Sorbetto and Stracciatello's act of treason. Ogio Engio had his subordinates coordinate the delivery of their respective members and helped relay the message the Boss had to them. Ogio Engio also carefully documented the downfall of both team's friendship while helping minimize the fallout to avoid heavy casualties as a means to maintain Passione's local reputation as well as his as a Capo. However, it was obvious that Ogio Engio favored Team #47 a bit more than Team #99, as he was willing to help Anita Cicchetti be escorted to meet Uriele Carne in order to negotiate terms that led to the end of the two teams' friendship and Father Diavolo to accept Team #47's apology over the other's. Ogio Engio would use his subordinates again to announce that Team #47 were the innocent ones in the case of treason and also sent orders to punish Team #99, notably to kill Bruno Bencivenga and humiliate Ceci Mariposa through Massimo Volpe when she tried to help bring back favor.

It is known that Ogio Engio often talked badly of both teams, although he was most open about it with Team #99. It was after helping Anita talk to Uriele that Team #47 via Olio Nero that the team's new leader reintroduced Cassio to him. Cassio began to become the new favorite or Ogio Engio as a liason between him and Team #47. Ogio Engio went as far as ordering one of his subordinates to provide Cassio with the coordinates to his hidden treasure if anything would have happened to him.

## Death and Olio's Promotion

When Giorno Giovanna killed off Y2K, it inadvertedly killed Ogio Engio in the process. Initially believing that the Ogio Engio was still alive, Giorno was caught by surprise to find the puppet trying to hide from him in terror; Giorno decided to not kill him off like he did before. However, the fear overwhelmed his puppet and caused him to commit suicide with his gun soon aftetr. This death was reported as the real death of Ogio Engio, prompting his subordinates to pay his respects. One of them, who was a very loyal subject of Ogio Engio, was able to call Cassio to announce Ogio Engio's death before the official announcement was made, giving him the coordinates and orders to use Polyphia to uncover the treasure. However, as the coordinates are given, members of Team #88 arrive demanding to know the coordinates and killed the remaining subordinates while Cassio was still on the phone.

Cassio reported this to Olio and the latter decided to take the opportunity to find the treasure and have the team take the Capo position themselves. This decision and their lack of appearance at the funeral prompted both Team #88 and Team #99 to grow suspicious of them; the former due to being falsely promised that they would take Ogio Engio's place by Ogio Engio himself and hearing that the subordinates are trying to relay information about the treasure to someone else other than them. Ogio Engio's subordinates were briefly tortured and killed off as a result, and the team had Ariel and Briano Zucchero figure out who the subordinate gave the information to and to try and find the treasure themselves- either before the person given the information or by coercing them in any way to do so. Team #47, besides Cassio and Olio, learned through their interactions with Briano and Ariel of who the original Ogio Engio was and how Ariel thought the former avoiding the puppet's funeral meant that they knew of Ogio Engio's secret. Ariel soon figured out that Giorno killed Ogio Engio via defeating Y2K, rendering the former to not reveal such secret out of fear.

The treasure was discovered to be in an undisclosed public restroom, which Cassio used Polyphia to reverse the creation of a particular urinal to uncover the 10 billion lira payment. When Periocolo received the gift, he initially declared Cassio as the new Capo, but Cassio gave the position to Olio; it was revealed that Cassio and Zura Grattachecca had a private conversation shortly after the discorse between their team and Team #99 where the two both agreed to have Olio take on any promotions for the sake of the team- even if the promotion or opportunity is meant for them. Because it was Team #47 that earned Ogio Engio's title, Periocolo gave a condition as a result: due to their conflict related to Team #99 a few years ago and their lack of respect for not having at least a few members attend Polpo's supposed funeral while finding the treasure, their status and income that would have come with being a Capo will be on hold until they successfully escorted Father Diavolo's supposed daughter, Gigi Una, to him; until then, Olio is only a Capo by name and formal ceremonies meant to initiate a new Capo will be postponed until the task given is successful.

The promotion of Olio and Team #47 became one of the core reasons why Team #99 rebranded as Team Bucciarati and defected as a means of sabotaging the former's effort of proving themselves worthy of being promoted, among other things.

## Post Fate of Zephyr

It is unknown who became the new Capo to replace Olio; it was heavily rumored that Giorno gave Ariel and Briano a chance to take the position if they were able to take down The Narcotics Team.

No one knew what happened to Ogio Engio's real body, with the puppet still buried in the grave marked under his supposed name. It was believed he was cremated and his ashes were scattered soon after Olio was named Capo.

		- The desk Ogio sat on when Giorno first entered had a yellow-stained clear piggybank filled with money, which Giorno stole from and then refilled with items transformed into money when he left.
	+ Ogio's character is also based on the Korean tv drama "The Devil Judge", a series that takes place in a dystopian future where criminal justice is televised in a sensational manner as a means to apease the public.
