Pre-Phantom Blood (1863-1888) Robert E. O Speedwagon was born on October 16th, 1863 and grew up in Ogre Street, one of the worst parts of London. Living his life in darkness Speedwagon became a thief in order to survive and would learn how to tell if a person is good or evil. Sometime in his life he would travel around the world and see all kinds of rare animals. Speedwagon also would learn a technique on how to use his body heat in order to cure frostbite. Phantom Blood (1888-1889) In 1888 Speedwagon and his fellow Ogre Street gang members would try to ambush a British noblemen named Jonathan Joestar. In their battle Jonathan Joestar would show true courage by showing that he would lose limbs for his cause and would spare Speedwagon and his gang after defeating them. Speedwagon, humbled by this would order his gang to not attack Jonathan anymore as he realized that Jonathan was a good man. Speedwagon would then help Jonathan track down Wang Cahn the man who sold poison to his brother Dio Brando which he used to try to slowly kill their father. After finding Wang Chan, Speedwagon would follow Jonathan back home worrying that something might happen to him. While Jonathan was confronting Dio, Speedwagon would reveal himself to the two and would tell Jonathan that Dio is truly evil and that Jonathan should not trust him. Speedwagon's suspicious would be proven right as while Dio was getting arrested he attempted to stab Jonathan but would instead stab his father, George who moved Infront of the blade to save his son. After Dio used the Stone Mask and was gunned down by the police, Speedwagon would voice his respect for the Joestars stating that they are noble people with good hearts. Soon after this a now vampirized Dio would attack the police and the others. Jonathan would help Speedwagon escape the mansion before battling and defeating Dio. Speedwagon would take the injured Jonathan to the hospital where he would meet Erina Pendleton, a nurse who was a childhood friend of Jonathan. Speedwagon would allow Erina to take care of Jonathan's injuries knowing that he was in good care. Using his underground connections Speedwagon would find out that Dio was now hiding in Windknight's Lot and would accompany Jonathan and Will Anthonio Zeppeli in their journey to defeat Dio and destroy the Stone Mask. Speedwagon would witness the use of Hamon during Jonathan and Will's fight with Jack the Ripper and would ask Will to teach it to him. Will would state that Speedwagon would never be able to use Hamon but tried to teach him anyway by striking his diaphragm in order to force Speedwagon to start using the Ripple breathing technique. However Will would hit the wrong spot and would just injure Speedwagon. Soon after a kid named Poco would try to steal the group's money but was stopped by Jonathan. The group would learn the kid was hypnotized to do that and that they fell into Dio's trap. Dio would reveal himself to the group and brings an army of zombies with him. The group is able to take down most of the zombies with Will and Jonathan attempting to attack Dio. During the brief encounter Dio would flash freeze Will's arm making him unable to fight Dio's new minions, Bruford and Tarkus. While Jonathan was fighting off Bruford Speedwagon was able to use his body heat technique to defrost Will's arm allowing him to heal his injuries. Once Jonathan defeated Bruford, Tarkus began to attack the group but they where able to escape with Poco to a medieval training ground.
