Perceverous

“I will free you all. I just need time.”

-Perceverous

Perceverous, also called The Exterminator or The Spirit Mask, is a Dark Being and the ruler of the Realm of the Forgotten. He is one of the members of the high council of elements.

After overthrowing his father, Perceverous set up a totalitarian government and sent out armies of Dark Beings with commanders such as Addax Zorn and Anthony Smith to lead these armies. When they failed, Perceverous tried to go in himself, but was defeated by Moff and the Professor.

Perceverous later teams up with Amanda Greenwood to try to destroy the remaining Defenders of Time. Overall, Perceverous is seen as the main antagonist of Arc 5 and the entire Shadowverse.

Appearance
Perceverous has golden eyes, and magma is spewing out of his torso, making up his feet. He wears black armor which has a symbol on it. He usually carries the Sprit Staff.

Personality and Skills
Perceverous commands the Dark Beings and tries to get villains out of the Forgotten Realm. He also is able to possess people when he was just a hood, not even a physical being, showing that he is extremely powerful.

The Books
Perceverous is seen as the main antagonist of the entire Shadowverse. He is the overarching antagonist of Arc 2, 3, and 4, and the main antagonist of Arc 5. He appears multiple times in numerous books.

The Media
Perceverous makes a physical appearance in the media of the Shadowverse.

Scorpia Rising
Perceverous eyed Scorpia and knew that they had the orbs, more specifically, the Dark Orb. He, as the hood, possessed many people and took over the Scorpia base, and opened the Realm of the Forgotten, revealing his true form. Moff. The Professor, and The Archer all team up to stop Perceverous. They end up trapping him into the Dark Orb, which now turns green. Perceverous was later freed by Amanda Greenwood.

The XYZ Files
Perceverous returns in The XYZ Files as once again, the main antagonist. However, we don’t know if this is the real Perceverous, as he is just a mini figure, but it is seen moving around at the end of the final episode.

Chronologically, Perceverous goes after Y first. He manages to kill the Time Corps agents who arrived there, but it is unknown if he kills Y, or has to flee. He then goes after X, who has special beings protecting him. Perceverous manages to kill X, but X makes Perceverous go back to the Realm of the Forgotten and traps him there, making the events of the first four episodes (that are represented) a prequel to the events of Scorpia Rising.

Perceverous’s final target is Z, who is much more antagonistic. He is able to control Dark Matter, but Perceverous manages to succeed in killing Z much easier then the others. His final appearance shows him moving around when the unseen narrator was forced to flee his base, without anyone controlling him.
