Donato Porpora

Donato is a ruthless and cruel individual, noted enough among ghouls for his sadistic personality. He thoroughly enjoys inflicting suffering on others, whether physical or psychological, for example: when Donato ripped off Touma Higemaru's arm, messing with the mind of Kuki Urie, and not to mention his horrible acts of brutally murdering children. His utter disregard for others makes him a valuable informant, willing to cooperate in investigations and betray other ghouls in exchange for being allowed to continue living. When visited by investigators, he enjoys making statements to disturb or frustrate them. Though selfish and cruel, he is apparently not without the ability to care. When his secret was discovered by his foster son, Amon, he spared the boy's life out of some sort of twisted affection. Whenever Amon must consult him professionally, he enjoys teasing his "beloved son."

Donato was an old ghoul, showing the physical signs of a long life with a wrinkled face. He had short cropped, light-colored hair and a neatly-trimmed beard, as well as thick, bushy eyebrows. In the past, he dressed in the typical clothing of a Catholic priest. As a prisoner, he wore simple prison scrubs — a long-sleeved shirt and pants, though he seemed to be barefoot. In the anime he appears to have icy pale blue eyes and pale skin. Donato's mask is a white round mask with a tiny golden crown on the center on the forehead - the eyes are round red circles with cross-like slits in the middle; the lips are slightly painted red and he can talk and eat through the mask's lips.

Ghoul Physiology: Being a ghoul, Donato possessed enhanced physical abilities and a potent koukaku-type kagune. *Koukaku Kagune: His Koukaku kagune resembled a long tentacle formed from intertwined strands of sinew and an outer layer covered in cross-like shapes. It was capable of ranged attacks, and allowed him to extend it over long distances and spear targets with great precision. In spite of the type's greater weight, he was able to wield it with incredible speed, attacking faster than the eye can follow. *Kagune Detachment: Donato demonstrated the ability to detach pieces of his kagune. * Superhuman Strength: He possessed strength superior to a human, allowing him to decapitate a human with a single motion. He was also capable of ripping off limbs as shown with what he did to Touma Higemaru. * Superhuman Speed: He possessed incredible speed, demonstrating the ability to move so quickly that he seemed to vanish into thin air. With this speed, he was literally able to disappear from view while standing in an open space with an unbroken line of sight. He was able to sneak up on people very quietly and unsuspectingly. * Superhuman Regeneration: Donato's cells were capable of regenerating in a cross-like pattern after his finger was severed by Kuki Urie. * Cloning: Donato was able to clone himself out of his kagune using his finger, and put them in his place to deceive his enemies. Later on, it is shown he can produce up to four clones at once, and each of them can work individually. However, during his fight with Amon, it is shown he can create a lot more. Even his clones can create clones with the same method. However, the main body can only create ten, and once it is incapacitated, they all disappear. * Great Intelligence: Donato had a brilliant mind, able to connect pieces of information available to him even inside prison, so much that the CCG still occasionally went to him for information. He was also exceptional at reading people, able to deduce what Amon was thinking with minimal effort and succinctly analyzed Sasaki's worries and personal issues.
