King Crimson (or simply "KC") is the Rare Stand of Diavolo, the main Antagonist of Vento Aureo (Golden Wind). It is a powerful and quick close-ranged Stand, being to impale one's stomach and chop someone's arm off. It also possesses the ability to erase time and predict the future. It is however, not very persistent and has low range, making it difficult to fight groups of people. In-game, King Crimson is a powerful Stand with mediocre speed. It has very powerful combos that allows you to take much HP to end a player. King Crimson cannot evolve further, but back in the Old Universe, you could obtain King Crimson Requiem and XENO.
Stand User: Shared by both Diavolo and Vinegar Doppio, as they are technically the same person.

King Crimson is the stand of Diavolo, and is one of the most powerful stands in Golden Wind as its main ability is to skip time, thus causing things to "happen" when the mind can't remember.
King Crimson is one of the first stands and one of the only few stands to use gore in A Universal Time. When Gore is enabled in settings, his impales cause organs and blood to fly out. Additionally, a donut hole in the victim is created.
