Neve Ghiaccio

Ray Chase (English)

**Neve Ghiaccio** is the deuteragonist of Golden Stone. He is a mobster and the leader of his own squad within the powerful Calconian gang, Diamante.

Sent out to track whoever attacked Leaky-Eye guy and debuting as Carlo Calvino's opponent, Ghiaccio becomes the first to lend meaningful support to Carlo in his ascension in Diamante's ranks.

## Personality

During his introductory arc, Ghiaccio acts like a seemingly affable gangster toward Carlo Calvino, starting chitchat on various subjects during which Ghiaccio reveals his more violent side. This behavior is later shown to be an act he puts up with unfamiliar people outside of Diamante, and he would later conduct himself in the same manner with two airport security guards.

Ghiaccio's most important character traits are his righteousness and his natural kindness. Ghiaccio is dedicated to taking the most honorable course of action, even if he puts his life at risk. For instance, at the age of seven, Ghiaccio chose to stay with his father when his parents divorced as he thought he should support the one parent who suffered from this separation. Moreover, Ghiaccio overtly rebelled against Demonio when the Boss clearly wanted to kill his daughter, Amore Cinque, resulting in his premature death. Ghiaccio is loyal to the civilians of his territory, being considerate with them accepting their requests for help, and is generally nice to the people he meets.

## Abilities

**Intelligence:** Ghiaccio is a remarkable fighter in a Vision fight; having mastered the versatile power of his Cryo Vision, he can easily use the environment to his advantage, restrain his enemies, swiftly evade incoming attacks, and attack from blind spots. His natural selflessness means that survival is not among his priorities, thus his actions will easily surprise his opponents.

**Lie Detection:** Ghiaccio is able to know if someone is lying simply by looking at them, claiming that when a person lies their skin glistens due to sweating. He can also taste a person's sweat to distinguish them as a liar, claiming that the sweat of a liar tastes sweeter than normal.

**Physical Strength:** Despite his slim build, Ghiaccio is likely one the strongest humans in the series. The best example of his brute strength kicking Naso so hard he nearly shattered a train window. Other examples include, killing two adults with a knife at a young age, having the likes of Sparo fear and respect him, and overpowering Carlo to the point of drawing blood

**Undead State:** During the events at Maggiore island, Ghiaccio was given a lethal blow by the boss and was subsequently healed by Carlo's Geo Vision. Ghiaccio eventually reveals that his life had ended at that time, however, his body continued to move only through the "**life energy**" that Carlo had given him. In this undead state, Ghiaccio lacks bodily functions such as breathing, a heartbeat, or the ability to feel pain. However, it also allowed him to be immune to the effects of Dendro, and although the decay of his body gradually made him functionally blind and deaf, he could still converse with others through the ability to observe and feel what individual souls thought.

**Cryokinesis:** As a Cryo Vision user, Ghiaccio can manipulate ice, such as lowering the temperature of the surrounding air until solid ice forms or by freezing nearby water sources. They could release and channel this ice in the form of ice beams that freeze whatever it comes into contact with, or extremely rigid and durable ice walls and domes that can be used offensively and defensively. There's also the capacity to use ice in order to freeze one's opponents to death by trapping in ice that slowly kills their cells or shattering them to pieces once frozen.

* **Zipper Creation:** Ghiaccio's Elemental Passive allow him to creating zippers on what its fist touches, which it can remotely open or close at any time. He has various applications, such as using it to travel through walls or floors, detaching and attaching limbs, and storing objects inside something.
