Pre-Battle Tendency
102,000 years before the start of Battle Tendency the Pillar Man Kars was born. His species, the Pillar Men lived peaceful lives underground as they were unable to withstand the sun's light. They lived off the life essence of other living things and had little children due to their long lives. Kars would be unsatisfied by this and would begin working on a way to "conquer the sun" allowing his species to rule the world without fearing the sun's deadly rays.
Even among the Pillar Men, Kars was a genius and due to this genius Kars was able to create the Stone Mask. Kars would test its effects on himself and would gain immortally though the mask didn't have the power to protect him from the sun. Kars' immortally would cost life force to sustain, which would cause the Pillar Men to fear the Stone Mask as they believed the it would threaten their very way of life.
Kars' species would believe they needed to kill Kars, who with his ally Esidisi, would fight back and kill almost the entire Pillar Men species. Kars and Esidisi would take two surviving children, Wamuu and Santana and would set off on a journey to find a something that could give the Stone Mask the power to turn him into the ultimate being, allowing him to survive the sun's rays.
Kars would begin experimenting on humans during his travels, creating the very fist vampires as well as more Stone Masks. Kars ended up creating and feasting on thousands of vampires. During their travels Kars would find a Red Stone of Aja and would try to use its power to turn himself into the ultimate being. Though the gem wouldn't work, Kars would realize that if he could find a flawless Red Stone of Aja he could achieve his goal. With a modified version of the Stone Mask, Kars would leave Santana behind in Mexico and would travel with Esidisi and Wamuu to Eurasia. The Pillar Men would travel to China before heading to Rome after learning that the flawless Red Stone of Aja was within the possession of the Roman emperor. While in Rome, the Pillar Men would encounter Hamon users, people who use energy waves similar to the sun's to attack their foes. The Pillar Men would defeat the Hamon users and would develop ways to counter their Hamon. At some point Kars would command Wamuu to kill a child from the Hamon clan but he would be unable to. Kars would kill the kid for Wamuu as he believed he would come back to kill them for revenge. With the Hamon clan's defeat, the Pillar Men would hibernate with in a wall underneath the Roman Colosseum. This wall would be booby trapped so they could absorb extra nourishment while sleeping, which is what ending up killing the Hamon user Mario Zeppeli.
Battle Tendency
In 1938 Kars and Esidisi would be awakened by Wamuu who would tell them that Santana had been defeated and captured in Mexico. Deciding that Santana was too weak to save, Kars and the other Pillar Men would assume the Roman Empire was no longer in control before planning on how to get the Red Stone of Aja. While the Pillar Men were leaving Kars would accidentally step on Wamuu's shadow causing Wamuu to unconsciously attack him. Though Wamuu would ask to be punished, Kars would forgive Wamuu and knowing that it was his own fault that he got attacked. Kars would allow Wamuu to battle with the Hamon users Joseph Joestar and Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli before leaving the colosseum with Esidisi. After witnessing a mine cart crash Kars and Esidisi would investigate the battle and would learn that Wamuu hasn't killed Joseph yet. Wamuu would explain that he wished to battle Joseph once he has gotten stronger which Kars would allow him to do so. Wamuu and Esidisi would place a Wedding Ring of Death each inside Joseph telling him that he had thirty three days to train before leaving with Kars.
Sometime later Kars would set his base of operations in a abandoned hotel in Saint-Moritz, Switzerland. Weeks later Esidisi would find the Red Stone of Aja's location in Venice and would set off to find it planning to contact Kars after he had obtained it. However Esidisi would be killed by Joseph and Esidisi would fail to contact Kars. However Esidisi was able to mail the stone to Saint-Moritz. While in Saint-Moritz Kars would save a dog from being ran over by using his bone blade to slice through the car, redirecting the car as well as cutting the steering wheel, causing the drivers to crash. Afterwards Kars would question if something had happened to Esidisi.
Sometime later Kars would find out that Esidisi was killed and that the Red Stone of Aja was nearby in Saint-Moritz, in the hands of the Nazis. Kars would approach the chalet the Nazis were staying in and using his enhanced sense of touch, Kars would be able to find out where the Nazis where in the building and would use his bone blade to kill them from the outside. Once inside the building Kars would be confronted by Rudol von Stroheim, who would reveal himself to be a cyborg, which is why Kars was unable to sense him. Kars would also be confronted by Joseph, who was at the chalet looking for the Red Stone of Aja. During this encounter Kars would try to strike Stroheim with his blade but he would be blocked by Stroheim's steel hand. While grabbing Kars' blade Stroheim would use his superhuman grip to tear off a piece of Kars' flesh and wound threaten to tear him to pieces before blasting Kars with a horde of bullets. While being blasted with bullets, Kars would activate his Light Mode and would use his blade to slice through the bullets. Stroheim would question how Kars' bone blade was not breaking from the bullets before being cut down by it himself, Stroheim would realize that Kars' blade has sharp moving teeth on it which is what causes it to glow as well as what allows it to cut the bullets. Kars would tell Stroheim that despite begin a cyborg designed to kill Pillar Men like Santana, he would be unable to as Santana was merely a guard dog compared to him and the other Pillar Men. Kars would grab the Red Stone of Aja from Stroheim's pocket before being hit by a ultra violet light from Stroheim's eyes, causing Kars to drop the stone which would begin to slide down hill. Kars and Joseph would race to catch the stone with Kars' superior speed allowing him to grab it first by using his foot and jumping. However, snow kicked by Joseph would get into Kars' eyes distracting him long enough for Joseph to grab the stone while Kars was in the air. Kars would counter this by using a blade from his foot to stab and drag Joseph down with him, causing both to enter free fall. Joseph would use his Hamon to stick onto a icicle but Kars would cut the icicle causing the two to fall again. Joseph would then try to send Hamon through Kars' blade, who would response by slamming Joseph to a wall with enough force to send him bounding back allowing Kars to use his arm blade to slice him up. However Joseph would block while holding the Red Stone of Aja, forcing Kars to not attack Joseph. As Kars would fall, Joseph would use icicles to create a rope with Caesar's help from above allowing him to survive. While falling, Kars would notice he was about to land on a flower and would punch the wall to redirect himself to avoid destroying it. Once on the ground Kars would laugh like a mad man before commenting on how Joseph has guts before leaving.
Kars would later encounter Joseph and Lisa Lisa inside his hotel where he would try to ambush them with his army of vampires. However due to Lisa Lisa's threat to destroy the Red Stone of Aja with a time bomb, Kars would agree to fighting for it in a one-on-one battle with her with Joseph and Wamuu doing the same. Kars would spectate the battle between Joseph and Wamuu with Lisa Lisa during which he would offer Lisa Lisa poison telling her to use it to kill herself instead of fighting believing that Wamuu would win the battle. However Joseph would kill Wamuu and Kars would have to face Lisa Lisa in battle.
After Wamuu's death, Kars would use his arm blade to kill three vampires who insulted Wamuu for losing. Kars would also kill vampires who tried to attack Lisa Lisa and Joseph. Kars and Lisa Lisa would battle on the ruins of the Piz Berlina Temple. During the beginning of the fight, Kars would use his light to disappear from Lisa Lisa's sight and would allow her to kill one of his body doubles. Kars would then surprise attack Lisa Lisa after his supposed death, stating that despite Wamuu's wishes he doesn't care for a honorable one-on-one duel. Kars would then get his vampires to attack Joseph though they would be killed by the Speedwagon Foundation and the SS who had came to aid Joseph and Lisa Lisa.
Despite being tried from his earlier battle with Wamuu, Joseph would climb up the ruins and would prepare to face Kars. Kars would taunt Joseph with Lisa Lisa's passed out body before stabbing her legs and tying a rope between them. Kars would throw the rope over part of the ruins while also throwing Lisa Lisa off the ruins forcing Joseph to use the make shift pully system to hold on to Lisa Lisa. Joseph would try to attack Kars but Kars would block Joseph's kick and would slice his legs to counterattack. Joseph would then light his scarf on fire, claiming it will motivate him to attack Kars with all he's got before being attacked by Kars. Joseph would dodge Kars' attack using the rope to swing around him. Kars would tell Joseph he can't just run around him forever and would threaten to cut the rope. Joseph would then use the rope to leap towards Kars who would response by cutting the rope causing Joseph and Lisa Lisa to fall. However Kars would be dragged down with Joseph as he would learn he had been tricked as Joseph only lit the scarf on fire to distract Kars from seeing Joseph tie a rope to his foot before luring Kars to a rope trap he made as well. Kars would try to use his foot blade to cut the rope but Joseph would use his scarf to grab on to Kars and would use it to launch himself in the air. Kars would try to use his bone blade to block Joseph's attack but would be unable to as Joseph would break through Kars' blade. Joseph's Hamon would spread throughout Kars' arm as he fell to the ground, being impaled by sharp rocks while Joseph would grab the rope and save Lisa Lisa. As Kars was dying on the ground, Stroheim would order his SS soldiers to fire ultra violet light at Kars to finish him off but Speedwagon would tell them to cease fire as Kars had put on the modified Stone Mask with the Red Stone of Aja on it. However Speedwagon's warnings would be too late as Kars would be blasted by ultra violet light, turning him into the ultimate being.
Kars, now the ultimate being, would rise up and would display his power by creating a vampiric squirrel that would rip through SS soldiers, which included Stroheim. Despite the sun coming up, Kars would be completing unaffected by it, with the humans believing they couldn't defeat him. Joseph, however, would run away from Kars, who would grow wings to catch up to Joseph. As Kars chased him, Joseph would hop into a nearby plane and would attempt to fly away from Kars while also firing bullets at him. Kars would react to the bullets, launching his armored feathers at them to deflect them while also using his feathers to pierce through parts of the plane. While Kars was chasing Joseph, Kars' feathers that were inside the plane would turn into piranhas and would attack Joseph. One of the feathers inside the plane's wing would turn into an octopus, which would destroy a part of the plane's wing, causing Joseph's plane to begin crashing. Kars try to attack a parachuting Joseph only to realize that he was flying towards a dummy and would be hit by Joseph driving the plane into Kars. Kars would climb up from the plane's steel plate and would try to attack Joseph only for for Stroheim to reveal he had been on the plane the whole time and would surprise attack Kars, shooting his arm at his neck as a distraction. As the plane crashed into a nearby volcano Stroheim would grab onto Joseph to cushion his fall, while destroying the bottom half of his body in the process. Kars would fall into the volcano's lava and despite using a protective shell would begin to melt. However Kars would survive the lava by creating a layer of bubbles between his skin and the lava and would pop out of the lava to slice Joseph's arm off. Joseph would try to attack Kars but Kars would counterattack, smashing Joseph's leg with Hamon hundreds of times stronger than his. Telling Joseph that he is a fool for thinking he couldn't use it.
As Joseph lied on the ground in pain, Kars would try to use his Hamon to finish Joseph off but Joseph would instinctively block his attack with the Red Stone of Aja, which would amplify Kars' Hamon and would shoot out a powerful beam into the volcano, causing it to erupt. The eruption would the blast the rock Kars and Joseph where on into the air. Kars would try to escape the rock by flying away but Joseph severed arm would be blasted into Kars' throat. Kars would then get distracted by Joseph and would be hit with flying rocks which would launch him into space. As Kars exited Earth, he would try to use his air jets to push himself back to the planet. However the air Kars was blasting out would freeze instantly causing Kars to freeze over. Kars, now frozen and floating away from earth would turn into something half mineral and half lifeform and would float in space for all of eternity craving death though it would never come. Eventually Kars went mad and stopped thinking, never to be seen again.
