*Were you looking for Perceverous (Realm-9)?*

> You…fools. I was never just a figure. I’m more than that. I am a legacy. And it will live on. Keep that in mind, Kyle Turner. One way or another, victory is mine. Au revoir, mon ami.

**Perceverous**, also called **The Exterminator** or **The Spirit Mask**, is a Dark Being and the ruler of the Realm of the Forgotten. He serves as the main antagonist of Part I of the Shadowverse, being the overarching antagonist of Arcs 2, 3, and 4, and the main antagonist of Arc 5.

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. He formed an alliance with Amanda Greenwood after she freed him from the Dark Orb, and began to commence his final plan: Realm Collision. Though succeeding initially, Perceverous was defeated and killed by an alliance including Agent 12, Kyle Turner, and Big Güino. Despite dying, Perceverous’s legacy continues to impact modern day in the form of a cult.

## 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

A tyrannical and maniacal being, Perceverous commands legions of Dark Beings with their loyalties being made from fear of their master. When he was alive, Perceverous was considered one of if not the most powerful entity within the thirteen Realms. Ruling over both the Realm of the Forgotten and the Realm of Ashes, he had vast resources at his disposal for attempted Realm Collision.

Contrary to what one might expect, Perceverous does not appear intentionally malicious in the beginning; he truly believes that he is the one to rule over the Realms. In the end, however, he becomes even more corrupted with power and becomes much more of an egotistical and narcissistic version of who he once was.

## Biography

### Pre-Arc 1

Centuries before the mainline Shadowverse began, Perceverous was a general in the Dark Being Army which ruled over the Realm of Ashes. Dissatisfied with the current leadership, he led a coup that started a three century civil war within the Realm of Ashes. Around 1700, the war ended with a victory for Perceverous after he killed his father, setting him up as King of the Realm of Ashes and the Realm of the Forgotten.

### Scorpia Rising

Centuries later, Perceveorus began his quest for Realm Collision. He 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. 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.

### Project X II secrets

In Project X II, it is revealed that the original project, as well as Jim York, was meant to be used as a weapon to stop Perceverous from coming into this world. The project was later stopped after the events of The Final Battle, but Moff later started it up again.

### The Shadow World

In Arc 5, Perceverous teams up with The Phoenix to gain Relivon, a poison. He tricks the phoenix and steals his powers, killing him and using his powers to begin Realm Collision. Perceverous then goes to the hospital, where Edward is, to finish the job the Phoenix’s henchman couldn’t: Kill Edward. He arrives at the hospital, taking out the guards and having a showdown with Kyle and Edward. Perceverous succeeds, killing Edward, but he is forced to retreat.

Returning to The Realm of the Forgotten, Perceverous begins Realm Collision. He combines the thirteen realms together in an attempt to destroy them and create one, single, realm. He is faced off by Moff and Jim York, who eventually push him back, but by then, it is already too late.

Perceverous is intercepted by Fat Güino, who he simply stabs with his scepter. He then begins construction on The Citadel, a home base/headquarters while Realm Collision is taking place.

Edward (who is actually He), Kyle, Project X, The Changer, and more storm the citadel, but are taken down by Perceverous, who captures Jim, injures Kyle, and leaves them to flee.

Taking over Paterson, Perceveorus situates himself in the newly completed Citadel. When Kyle, Jim, He, and Moff attempt to storm the Citadel and kill him, Perceveorus fends them off and they all must retreat.

Later, Agent 12, Agent 9, and Malcolm Green go to The Citadel to reason with Perceverous. After Kyle tries to snipe him, Perceverous locks Agent 12 up in a dark room with The Archer, and imprisons Malcolm and Agent 9.

After Perceverous is attacked by He, he shoots the Edward abberation and has the final showdown with the rest of the heroes. Agent 12 sacrifices himself to collapse The Citadel, and Perceveorus is beat up with the help of all the heroes combined. He falls off the Citadel and dies, ending his reign of terror.

### 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.
