**Damocles**, publicly known on the surface as the **Marionette** or **Puppet**, is a Limbo character from *FNaF: Underworlds* and is introduced in Episode 01 - Firefly of *Slice of Life*.

He is the main attraction of Toy Foxy and Wendie’s *Funtime Corner* and the guardian of the Limbo Root inside the pizzeria.

## Appearance

Damocles is only known through the marionette doll, as his own appearance has never been witnessed apart from his own two eyes. While this is not in effect, the doll's endoskeleton LED eyes are seen instead.

The marionette is a rather tall and slender black-colored doll, with white stripes over its forearms and calves. Its hands have three long fingers while the feet end on pointy tips. Three buttons are stitched onto its torso and a mask is attached to its head. The mask shares resemblances to theater masks - notably the comedy mask, while having some characteristics to the Toy Animatronics class: two red cheeks and red lipstick. The purple "tear streaks" however, are unique only to the marionette.

## Personality

Damocles is an extremely calm, wise and supportive lifeform. His peaceful nature is quite unbreakable due to his experiences, affiliation with Ezekiel's clergy and his personal look on life itself. However, should his peaceful demeanor be broken or pushed too far, Damocles' serious side will assert itself immediately.

His calm voice can be quite monotonous and indifferent towards most situations, unless something surprises him - although it will be brief and barely noticeable.

The animatronic itself does not have a personality and isn't considered as sentient, merely following programming. However, a personality was originally planned in the blueprints before Damocles took over the doll.

## Functionality

Damocles works as an entertainer and mascot of the Funtime Corner, following protocol of how the Marionette itself is supposed to act in the public.

During working hours the Marionette dances to music that plays within the Funtime Corner's speakers or the Marionette's head and interacts with people, all while inside its big present box. It does not speak, but is very expressive with its body. The LED eyes are not shown as it could disturb the younger customers.

## Abilities and Powers

Damocles obtained his powers when he was born and deemed as a Nuntius. He gained key supernatural powers when he was given the role of Reverend within the clergy of Ezekiel.

His abilities remain the same while possessing the Marionette doll, being able to use them near limitless while inside the pizzeria due to the root’s Limbo essence. As Damocles is a member of Ezekiel's clergy, he possesses a very large amount of supernatural abilities.

* **Teleportation** - His means of transport between areas. Damocles often uses this ability when even the slightest eye contact is broken, whether it’s technology or not. He teleports by momentarily creating a small rift in the start and end of the teleportation. This action is done near instantly.
* **Machinery Manipulation** - Damocles is able to tap into a machine’s mechanisms and make use of them to his will. He very rarely uses this ability but it’s mostly used to help his animatronic family.
* **Levitation** - Levitation is Damocles’ preferred way to move around the pizzeria. As his doll body has no weight nor animatronic limbs - excluding the head, levitation is extremely trivial as its very light.
* **Telekinesis** - Damocles can manipulate small to large objects with his hands from a distance, such as closing the curtains of the *Funtime Corner's* play room in EP4.
* **Heat** **Vision** - With the use of machinery manipulation, Damocles managed to tap into his animatronic head’ mechanisms and created a functioning thermal vision.
* **Ethereal** **Vision** - His natural vision that allows him to see Limbo essence and souls of living creatures. Naturally used in the absence of light, grants him complete night vision and ability to see through walls.
* **Lifeforce** **Sense** - Damocles can sense the souls of living creatures in a 23m radius around him. Can be further extended by concentrating.
* **Clairvoyance** - He is aware of things that are happening out of his view but ignores it due to their privacy.
* **Puppet** **Control** - A rather amusing and entertaining ability, Damocles is able to possess a doll or plush toy and control it with his fingers as if it had strings. During seasonal Halloween events in the pizzeria, he possesses the skeletons to move their head and limbs.
* **Gift Life** - Damocles’ main ability as a Reverend is the ability to grant life / home to Limbo entities that are deprived of a host. This is how Plushtrap was created.
* **Mirages** **/ Hallucinations** - Damocles can create illusions that will fool anyone – such as changing his appearance or creating a copy of an existing entity.
