Personality: Fugo is extremely intelligent. He is said to have an IQ over 150 and was accepted into a university at the age of 13. His intelligence leads him to overthinking things and can delay his actions. He speculates and thinks on things better left unthought, an observation made by Abbacchio in Purple Haze Feedback. He also gets frustrated when people don't understand things that seem simple to him. He doesn't mean to treat anyone poorly when he feels they're not as smart as he is, it's almost a subconscious effect.

Fugo's biggest weakness is his temper. He is very quick to anger and it can turn violent. In canon, he stabs his fellow gang member in the face with a fork for getting a math problem wrong. He was expelled from university when he attacked a professor with a four kilogram encyclopedia. He did this because the professor reacted cold and callously to Fugo's grief over his grandmother's death. His temper is a problem and he's always afraid he'll take it too far. This is reflected in his inability to control his Stand -- where most Stand users have no issue controlling their Stand, Purple Haze is almost completely uncontrolled. He gets infuriated when others don't believe what he does and it can make him snap -- Giorno told Fugo as much at the end of Purple Haze Feedback. It doesn't take much to cause this.

This isn't to say that Fugo isn't caring, though. He is a kind person, just impatient. For no reason he could fathom, he took an orphan scrounging in dumpsters to his boss (as in mafia boss), in hopes something could be done for him. He also took the time to tutor this abandoned kid (nevermind he's older than Fugo), Narancia, because he could. He is also mindful of using his Stand around other people; he doesn't care if he's the one to die from the virus but he'd rather not inflict that kind of torture on anyone that doesn't deserve it. He took care to protect Buccellati from hearing of executions that would upset him -- such as the murder of a child.

He is also direct in how he approaches people. He doesn't like to mince words, unless he has reason to fear retribution. He's careful in choosing his words around his superiors, for example. If he has no connection to the person, however, he's unlikely to watch his words and will say what he means. He doesn't say more than he has to and keeps quiet unless he feels like what he says will add to the conversation.

He is very careful in weighing situations for their benefits and risks. This can be detrimental and he errs on the side of caution more often than not. This is seen as common sense, but it's different with Fugo. He is almost afraid of taking risks and tries to calculate the best outcome. This changes towards the end of Purple Haze Feedback when he risks his life to kill Volpe by biting down on several virus capsules from his Stand's fist. He isn't careless and will carefully weigh his options, even when time is not on his side.

Abilities: Fugo is a Stand user. His Stand is called Purple Haze Distortion -- it is barely under Fugo's control. It can fight along side Fugo, however, its main ability is the virus capsules on its fists. It is an extremely virulent infection and will kill the target by essentially dissolving them from the inside out. It also spreads extremely fast and is effective within five meters. The virus is very weak to light, even a street lamp is enough to kill it at night. If Fugo is too close, he will also be infected; Purple Haze itself is immune to the virus. It is possible for Fugo to remove the capsules and use them close range by breaking them himself; the virus will attack itself if multiple capsules are used and its effective range and lifespan is therefore very short.

Fugo is very hesitant to use Purple Haze due to the danger it poses not only to himself but to everyone around him. Even with the reduced risk of Purple Haze Distortion, he still hesitates to use the virus.
