Kars is one of the last remaining members of a nearly extinct species that humans nicknamed Pillar Men. He is the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency and is the leader of the 3 main Pillar Men, consisting of himself, Esidisi and Wamuu. He is also the reason Dio rose to power, making him the indirect main antagonist of the entire series.

## **History**

### **The Threat of the Hamon Clan**

Sometime around roughly 61 CE (Common Era) Kars and his two fellow Pillar Men fought a group of strong Hamon users in the Roman Colosseum and won. While they were victorious, they had been severely weakened and were forced to hibernate under the Colosseum for the next 2,000 years. They decorated themselves in gems to trick humans into coming close enough so that they could ensnare and consume them.

### **Indirect Quotes**

> "*Long before the birth of mankind, a race emerged from the Earth's evolutionary garden... they could only survive in darkness, the light of the sun would cause them to disintegrate. So they chose to live underground. Even without the sun to provide energy, they lived for many years by absorbing the life force from plants and animals. When primitive man eventually made contact with this race, they were regarded as gods and demons. Due to their invulnerability, they had little need to reproduce. They maintained a small, but consistent, population. Because of this, they led peaceful lives, without conflict. However... one fateful day, a brilliant mind emerged from their race! This prodigy created the stone mask! The stone mask granted more power and resilience, but it also demanded much more life force from the wearer. Thus, many more living things would need to be consumed! Left unchecked, there was no doubt that life on Earth would have been wiped out. His race grew to fear the stone mask! And they grew to fear the prodigy himself! The prodigy killed most of his race, including his own parents. Along with his companion, and two children that knew nothing of his actions, he departed on a long journey... to search for ultimate power, and the perfect body. And ten thousand years later... on this day, he has achieved that goal!*"
