He specializes in Dark-type Pokémon. Giacomo is a wannabe DJ and the creator of Team Star's theme songs, also going by the name "DJ Vice" (Japanese: DJ悪事 DJ Bad Deeds) when on stage.

Giacomo is relied on by the rest of Team Star for bringing the team together and enacting plans with care. He is reportedly known to hold one-man surprise DJ concerts.[1]
Before the formation of Team Star, Giacomo was elected the president of the Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV student council, but the student conduct policies he proposed were so unintuitive and strict that he lost all support. After only a short time in office, he was forced out by the students, who elected Nemona as his replacement. Humiliated and alone, Giacomo found solace and companionship among a group of students who were similarly victims of bullying and ostracism at the school, and they went on to create Team Star. Despite his doubts, the other bosses of Team Star encouraged him to codify Team Star's current code of conduct, which the group follows to this day.
Giacomo awards the player with Team Star's Dark Badge and TM062 (Foul Play) upon his defeat. Additionally, his defeat allows the player to craft the following TMs using the TM Machine:
