These Arrows were later used to create numerous Stand users that were to be DIO's followers. Prior to 1989, five Bow and Arrows were brought to Egypt by Enya the Hag with one being used to pierce the flesh of her master Dio Brando who gained the ability to use Stands. In 1986, an archaeological expedition came to find the Arrows but they were all stolen by Diavolo. Among the earliest known instances of Stands was when Caravan Serai crafted a sword five centuries ago that contained a Stand power that possessed its users and was known as Anubis. Sometime afterwards, an expedition came upon the site with many of their number dying though a few came to develop Stand powers. Those that came upon the location tended to develop superhuman abilities that were the result of Stands with one person crafting Arrows from the meteorite that could gift abilities to some exposed by it as he came to believe it gave them the power of the gods. It fell into an unpopulated region of Cape York in Greenland where it was said to had brought an unknown virus to the planet.

According to one account, the existence of Stands were traced to a meteorite that crashed onto the surface of Earth around 50,000 years ago. Stands (Japanese: スタンド, Hepburn: Sutando?) was a mystical force that that tied to a select number of people able to wield this power who were referred to as Stand Users (スタンド使い Sutando Tsukai).
