Background

Santana is a secondary antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency and is the first of the four main Pillar Men featured throughout the part.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Santana's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Pre-Battle Tendency As a child Santana originally had lived somewhere in the Americas with the other members of the Pillar Men tribe, a human like species that is weak to the sun. After Kars had killed the rest of the Pillar Men, he and another Pillar Man named Wamuu where taken in by Kars and his ally Esidisi. Sometime later he would be left behind in Mexico by Kars, deeming him a weak child before he and the other Pillar Men left for Rome in order to find a flawless Red Stone of Aja. Sometime later Santana would need to rest and would do so in a Mexican pyramid that Kars had used for his Stone Mask project. Battle Tendency In 1938, an expedition team lead by Robert E. O. Speedwagon would learn of Santana's existence. After Speedwagon was betrayed by Straizo during their investigation, Straizo would notice that, despite sleeping within a pillar, Santana was absorbing blood from the floor which would cause Straizo to dump the bodies of Speedwagon and the others into a river. Soon after Straizo left the ruins Santana would be excavated by Nazis and would be placed in a research lab in Mexico. Speedwagon who had survived Straizo's attack would also be kidnapped and sent to the research lab for information about vampires and the Pillar Man. The Nazi research team, lead by Major Rudol von Stroheim, would force Speedwagon to watch as the Nazis feed blood to Santana causing him to awaken after two thousand years of slumber. Stroheim would name the Pillar Men "Santana" and would observe him from above. The Nazis would perform tests on Santana and would witness him absorb a vampire. The Nazis would at first think Santana was unintelligent until Santana would say Stroheim's name despite it being impossible for him to hear the outside world for within the testing chamber. Soon after the Nazis would take their eyes off of Santana for a second allowing him to contort his body so that he could escape the chamber through the vents before they would react. Once Stroheim learned what Santana had done, Santana would reach the observation room and would enter the body of a man near the vents and would begin controlling him. The Nazis would see this and would fire at their comrade, causing Santana to absorb the bullets and and would fire them back at the Nazis. Before Stroheim and Speedwagon were killed by the bullets, A man would tear out some of Stroheim's hair and would use Hamon to keep the hair suspended in the air which would shield the three from the bullets. This man would reveal himself to be Joseph Joestar, who had came to Mexico to investigate the Pillar Men as well as to save his uncle, Speedwagon. Joseph would start toying with Santana, believing he only killed the Nazis out of self defense. While Joseph was doing this, Santana would display his vast intelligent as he was able to not only speak prefect English but also take apart a gun in seconds despite never seeing it before. Getting fed up with Joseph's teasing, Santana would try to use his rib blades to absorb Joseph, who would instead be launched away from Santana. Santana would then test his absorption on Speedwagon and would realize that Joseph had something special about him that protected him from his absorption. Enraged that Santana would even put his hands on Speedwagon, Joseph would try to melt Santana using his Hamon. Joseph's Hamon however was redirected to the ground as Santana's skin was able to redirect it to the blood on the ground. Santana's body would then react to Joseph's attack by trying to consume his arm which Joseph would avoid in the last second. Speedwagon would tell Joseph that the reason Santana can't consume him is because of his Hamon. While Joseph tried various other ways to send Hamon through the Pillar Men, Santana would kick Joseph, which seemly knocked him out. Santana would then start absorbing Joseph only to be bisected as Joseph was only pretending to be knocked out so he could use his Hamon to attack Santana from the inside. Santana, having survived the attack would then try to attack Joseph but would be restrained by Joseph, who would use chains to tie Santana up. Santana would then be dragged by Joseph, who was trying to defeat Santana by exposing him to the sun. Right before Joseph could get to the door, Santana would launch pieces of his flesh at Joseph, sucking away his already depleted energy causing him to collapse to the ground. Stroheim would then try opening the door and despite Santana's efforts to restrain him, he would succeed. Before being exposed to too much sunlight, Santana, now fully regenerated from his earlier bisection, would contort his body and enter Stroheim's injured leg and would attempt to control him. Before he was able to do that, Stroheim would use a grenade to blow Santana and himself up. Santana would survive this attack but would be exposed to the sun and would start to harden. Santana would try to enter a well outside the lab to hide from the sun and would push Joseph inside the well with him. However due to it being Santana's first time in the sun he was unaware that the water in the well would reflect the sunlight above it causing him to harden. Joseph would also make sure Santana didn't touch the water by using his feet to slow done their fall. Santana exposed to too much light would harden into Stone and would be defeated. Santana's remains would be taken to the Washington headquarters of the Speedwagon Foundation, where he was kept under ultraviolent lights so he would remain immobile. While being experimented on the researches found out Santana was still alive but was unable to do anything. Santana's fate after this is unknown.

	~ Esidisi to Joseph Joestar

Background

Esidisi is a primary antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency and is the third of the four main Pillar Men featured throughout the part. He serves as Kars' right hand man during their search for the flawless Red Stone of Aja.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Esidisi's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Pre-Battle Tendency Esidisi originally lived in the Americas with the rest of the Pillar Men, a human like species weak to the sun. Sometime during his life he would meet Kars, another Pillar Man who wanted to use his creation, the Stone Mask, to conquer the sun so his race would no longer have to hide from it to survive. Esidisi would be one of the few Pillar Men who agreed with Kars ideas as the other Pillar Men would view the mask as too dangerous. Due to this Esidisi would be spared by Kars, who would slaughter almost all of his entire species only leaving himself, Esidisi, and two kids named Wamuu and Santana alive. Esidisi would go on to become Kars' right hand man during his search for the flawless Red Stone of Aja. During their search Esidisi, Kars, and Wamuu would abandon Santana in Mexico and would head to Eurasia to find the red stone. While searching in Eurasia, Esidisi would learn of Sun Tzu before coming to Rome, where he and the other Pillar Men would defeat members of the Hamon tribe before entering hibernation under the Roman Colosseum. The wall the three Pillar Men would embed themselves in would be booby trapped so they could absorb nourishment, which is what killed the Hamon user Mario Zeppeli. At some point the Nazis would find the Pillar Men and would being researching them to make sure they wouldn't pose a threat to Germany. Battle Tendency In 1938, Esidisi, Kars, and Wamuu would awaken underneath the Roman Colosseum.

Esidisi would view Wamuu's battle with Joseph Joestar and Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli and would allow him to fight them as he and Kars left the Colosseum. Esidisi would meet up with Wamuu when the battle moved outside the Colosseum where Joseph would try to bargain for his life telling Wamuu that he would be able to defeat him in thirty days once he's trained. Amused Wamuu would place a poison ring inside Joseph to make sure he would train and fight him for the antidote thirty days later, which Esidisi would do as well. After that the Pillar Men would leave in search of the Red Stone of Aja. A few weeks later Esidisi would find out the red stone's location around Air Supplena Island and would head there alone. While on a nearby island Esidisi would kill the Hamon user Loggins. Right after killing him, Esidisi would encounter Joseph, who had been training on the island and was prepared to battle against his teacher, Loggins. Esidisi would realize the red stone was on the main island and would prepare to battle Joseph in a spiked arena. Esidisi would attack Joseph, who would block his attack with his finger and would use his Hamon to pierce through Esidisi's hand. Esidisi would grab Joseph's fist and would attempt to flip him over but Joseph would vault over Esidisi and would tie string around his arm. Joseph would yank the string and would slice Esidisi's arm off. Esidisi would then begin to bawl his eyes out, trying to control his emotions. Once Esidisi calmed down he would slice of Loggin's arm and would fuse it with his arm as a replacement. Joseph would witness Loggin's corpse melt and Esidisi would reveal to Joseph his Erratic Blaze King Mode, which allows him to fill his veins with extremely hot blood which he can splash its victims with. Esidisi would dig out his skin to unleash his veins and would attack Joseph, burning his mouth in the process. Esidisi would then impale himself with spikes to unleash even more veins and would surround Joseph with his burring blood veins as well as taking care of a string trap Joseph had sent up. However Joseph would reveal that he used a cut and restore rope trick to hide another set of string behind Esidisi. Joseph would then yank one of the strings, which would tighten around Esidisi, which would cause him to start evaporating. Esidisi would reveal his horn and would try to attack Joseph but would be nearly evaporated when Joseph destroyed his horn. Esidisi's body would be destroyed but Esidisi would live as just a nervous system clinging on to Joseph's back without him noticing. Clinging on the Joseph's back Esidisi would sneak into Lisa Lisa's mansion and would possesses the body of Suzi Q. Using Suzi Q, Esidisi was able to grab the Red Stone of Aja and would mail it to Switzerland. Esidisi would reveal himself to Lisa Lisa before Joseph and Caesar entered her room. Esidisi would attack Caesar, and would tell the Hamon users that they would have to kill Suzi Q in order to kill him as a way of stalling. Esidisi would then decide to turn Suzi Q into a burning blood bomb to kill the Hamon users but would be stopped by Joseph and Caesar who would use positively charged and negatively charged Hamon to remove Esidisi with harming Suzi Q. Esidisi would then be killed by sunlight as he tried to escape to Joseph's body.
