Kars

Kars is the main antagonist of Battle Tendency, and the leader of the Pillar Men. His final form as the Ultimate Life Form acts as the final boss in Part 2. He is the second antagonist of the series.

Born thousands of years before the start of Part 2, Kars is credited as the creator of the Stone Mask. He is responsible for the mass genocide of the Pillar People, and only chose to save a select few (Santana, Asidisi, and Wamuu) Wanting to become the highest form of life on earth, he created the Stone Mask in order to go beyond the limits set to them by the sun. He eventually discovered of a magical stone called the Red Stone of Aja, and with it, would become the Ultimate Life Form when fusing it with the Stone Mask. He attempted to find the stone, but he, Wamuu, and Asidisi were trapped underneath the Roman Colosseum for a thousand years.

Years later, in 1939, he would be awakened by Joseph Joestar by accident. Kars and the Pillar Men resumed their quest for global domination, and raced Joseph Joestar, Caesar Zeppeli, and Lisa Lisa for the Red Stone of Aja. In a final confrontation with Joseph Joestar, now master Hamon User, Kars was flung deep into space, where he was turned to stone, and floated forever in the black abyss, eventually forgetting how to think.
