Beneath this beautiful face and sharply dressed frame lies a beast full of lust and ambition, only capable of seeing the shiniest of things in the world, with a total disregard for empathy and love. Though called the Goddess of Love and Fertility, Freya hides a shameful secret: she is incapable of loving anything but herself. She stubbornly tries to replace this void surrounding herself with perfectly tamed puppets who obey her every command.
But what makes this sinister goddess such a dangerous being is her ability to overwrite the memory and will of every mortal in a huge radius. She's capable of deleting the past of the target of her desire, isolating him, and trapping him in an alternate reality where no one remembers a thing about the poor fool that draws the attention of this greedy deity. This ensures the victim has no other choice than to plead to her for salvation, and she is willing to receive them, in exchange for one thing: absolute devotion and surrender.

A mysterious divine being of relatively unknown origin, Kars is depicted as a member of a superior race of godlike vampires who ruled Earth eons ago. In the events of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, Kars is finally revealed as the creator of the Stone Mask, an artifact that can turn humans into lesser vampirical beings, capable of satisfying his thirst for blood.
Since Kars hasn't received enough sustenance due to the lack of artificially created vampires, his powers are greatly diminished when Joe Joestar and the crew finally face him, though that doesn't make him less powerful than the average god. The only true way to stop him was to propel him out of Earth, and that didn't even truly kill him, since he managed to cover himself in a thick stone chrysalis.
Ultimately, he entered a deep hibernation since he was yeeted into the deepest and coldest corners of space, and he will probably end up crashing against a star. Hopefully, this will be enough to destroy this dangerous god for good.
