Personality: The base of Diego's personality can be described with one word: ambitious. Going beyond that he's a much more complicated individual, especially when you factor in the tragic past that shaped him into the man he became.
When he was a child he had a good attitude about things, despite the poor conditions that he was raised in. Happy, resourceful, adoring of his mother; he was definitely a very good kid without the same driving ambition we see as an adult. After she spoke out against abuse that she was suffering, she and Diego were both punished as a result; this was the beginning of the slippery slope that would eventually push him completely over the edge. His mother sacrificed her well-being to keep her son's dignity intact and eventually she fell ill, it was at this point that he began to resent those around him and their position in life. His mother's death wasn't just difficult for him to accept, it was something deeper than that: a personal slight against him. Those feelings of resentment that had formed within him had turned into something different, something far more dangerous and vengeful.
He didn't just dislike the people he'd grown up around, he hated them for allowing the treatment they had endured to continue. He vowed to seek revenge against those that had destroyed what little family he had, though that revenge didn't extend to the other workers at the farm but to the owner and even his own father (who tried to throw him in a river and abandoned them both when his mother fished him back out). His idea of revenge, however, was a little different than just going completely slasher on people; it was more about gaining prestige and climbing all the way to the top of the societal ranks.
This idea of revenge against his father and the people who had wronged him in the past his what fuels him; Diego is a driven young man that will stop at nothing to achieve what he's after. He can be cordial to others, but usually only when he's looking to get something in return or he's trying to get leverage on the other person. He is a user and a manipulator, much like his counterpart from another universe. If it will get him what he wants, he will absolutely do it, right down to marrying an old woman for her money.
The only thing that he actually seems to care about aside from fortune and glory is his horse, Silver Bullet, Diego even going as far as to call it his beloved. He's always been good with horses throughout his life, he had a way with them and from there he aspired to become a world-famous jockey (I did say he would do anything, but a jockey, really...). Despite the fact that he was already well-known, he participated in the Steel Ball Run to earn even more accolades and prestige, he saw it as just another step to his plan for some kind of domination over society. The addition of the search for the Saint's Corpse also proved to be a stepping stone for him, trying to collect pieces at first for his own benefit and then as time went on to sell them to the highest bidder; all he asked in return was...uh...all of Manhattan Island? That wasn't too much to ask for, was it?
As a result anyone that gets in his way will incur his wrath, causing him to lash out and let his true, vindictive nature show. If things don't go his way his temper can really flare, leading to verbal attacks, physical attacks, turning people into fossils (???), using his own fans as human shields? He'll lash out in whatever way is convenient for him, using situations to his advantage to move forward. He doesn't seem to be intentionally out to kill people, he doesn't possess a bloodlust, but if they die then they die and it's of little consequence to him. S H R U G. This is a lesson learned by those that have had to work with him, whether by choice or by assignment as part of a deal. He would much rather be in control of a situation and on some level in control of those that he has a need to work with, at one point explicitly stipulating that he wants a subordinate to help him secure more of the corpse parts.
Going hand in hand with his general resentment of people, he could easily be described as completely misanthropic. He considers humanity to be garbage (or more explicitly 'flock of pigeons') and tries to keep a reasonable distance from himself and other people. He would rather not be friends with anyone or to even work along with others but if it's necessary he can be rather cooperative and even a decent ally. As stated previously, though, just make sure that you watch your back because he will take the opportunity to get the upper hand if it's presented to him. He would, however, prefer to work alone.
While his general demeanor seems to be sour, if he's in the right place or feels like things are going his way he becomes rather smug. And if things are looking bleak and he can't work a way out of them right away he does have the potential to be frightened. He is a person in there, after all, just one that is constantly thinking about how to get what he wants. He's intelligent, able to calculate things and come up with precise plans at almost a moments notice; though sometimes it happens through trial and error. He is able to work out how things work, even things as abstract as stands and finds a way to adapt to the circumstances he's given; whether it's adjusting his fighting style or backing off to preserve his own life for another day.
He's a human. That hates humans. Also dinosaurs are good. Let him suffer without his Stand ability, he deserves it.
