Story
Phantom Blood
Part 1 · 1820–1888George's biography spans Phantom Blood's pre-Stone-Mask-era setup. His marriage to Mary Joestar produces Jonathan in 1868; Mary's carriage-accident death and George's misperception of Dario Brando as his rescuer triggers the eventual Dio adoption in 1881. Across the 1880s Dio slowly poisons George; he dies during the burning of the Joestar Mansion in 1888 — Dio's transition into a Stone-Mask vampire.
