Stand
Silver Chariot is Polnareff's original Stand. It is a very powerful, battle-dedicated Stand; all its powers are destructive in nature and assist him in battle. In appearance, it looks like a thin, robotic humanoid clad in medieval armor, armed with a rapier. Silver Chariot is an incredibly agile Stand, able to attack enemies with barrages of sword slashes and thrusts before the opponent can react. It can also use this agility, along with its sword, to defend and deflect attacks aimed at it (he has been able to slash fire attacks from Avdol's Magician's Red away from him without any harm). If necessary, Polnareff can also shed Silver Chariot's armor away, exposing its robotic form. In this form, Silver Chariot is even faster, to the point it can actually move fast enough to create doubles of itself. These doubles are not illusory; the Stand is moving at faster-than-the-eye-can-see speed between different positions. As such, were all the doubles to attack at once, it'd mean that the Stand is attacking from all those positions simultaneously, giving it incredible destructive power. Similarly, because of this same speed, attacking the doubles would be futile, as the Stand can easily move away before being harmed. Polnareff's "secret attack" is called "shooting the sword", in which the blade of his sword detaches at high speed. He uses this only when he is certain it will strike, because the blade has to be reattached before Silver Chariot can fight effectively again.
Silver Chariot Requiem is the Stand that Polnareff develops when Silver Chariot is stabbed with the Requiem Stand arrow. Polnareff died shortly after creating Requiem, so the Stand survived his death but became uncontrollable (much like Notorious B.I.G., a Stand that activated after the user died and was never really defeated). Requiem possessed the power to control the spirits of people. Its primary method of attack was to switch the spirits of people between bodies, usually after inducing a deep sleep. It also possessed the ability to turn Stands against their users, but only when its objective was directly threatened. It also has the ability to accelerate evolution around it, affecting anything in its range.
