George Joestar (ジョージ・ジョースター, Jōji Jōsutā) is a side character featured in Phantom Blood.
George is Jonathan Joestar's father, and after a tragic misunderstanding, he adopts Dio Brando in his family, kickstarting the events of the series.
George Joestar is a middle-aged man of medium build and height. He is typically short-haired but has a few locks of hair long enough to partially cover his forehead and also has a mustache.
George Joestar is typically seen in a three-piece suit and either has a tie or a bow tie.
George is kind, though easily misguided. The most apparent example is when he mistakenly believes Dario Brando saved his life, though the latter was actually attempting to rob him of his possessions. Even when George understands this to some extent, he shows his generosity by claiming that he willingly gave his ring to Dario and easily gets him out of jail. Nevertheless, George still honors Dario by taking in his child and doesn't notice Dio's wrongdoings. Once he does notice, he accuses Dario for Dio's behavior.
George loves his son, but is strict towards him, especially after Dio came along which offered George someone to compare Jonathan with, as he wished to make a gentleman out of him. Although he uses physical punishment and food deprivation to punish Jonathan, they are more a reflection of his time's customs than his own character. He notably shows his fatherly love through taking a fatal knife stab instead of Jonathan.
