Even Giorno can't help but be surprised by that. He did have that very same birthmark on his shoulder, so for this guy to have it as well, he'd have to be related to his father - not directly, apparently, especially considering the two of them don't look that far apart in age. There's no way Jotaro could be a descendent of Dio considering that, so he'd have to be related to him some other way for that to make sense.
So...maybe his father really was some kind of weird body stealing...whatever he was? This was really confusing.
"No, I do...just like the one he had."
A pause, as he considers this...but he has to know.
"What exactly was my father then? Stealing someone's body...that isn't something a human can do. Unless it had something to do with stands?"
"Not exactly, in fact this was a while before we knew about the existence of stands. I can understand you're probably confused so I'll try to explain." He inhales deeply. This was going to be a long one.
"Your father and my great-great grandfather apparently grew up together, sorta like siblings I guess. He was adopted into the family for whatever reason. But in adulthood, Dio discovered a stone mask my ancestor had been researching and found out that it turns humans into vampires upon wearing it. And then he transformed himself into a vampire willingly."
A pause before he continues.
"I only know what I've been told from Gramps, sorry if some of the details aren't very explicit."
