Puppet Conqueror

The **Puppet Conqueror** is a member of the Blasphemous Seven among Inferno. Like multiple other members of the group he's one of the many commanders to the lower **Acolytes**, and one of the group's Soul Hunters.

His Sin is Invidia (Envy).

## Appearance

Puppet Conqueror is a large, humanoid puppet being with an overall similar look to that of old-style Dummy puppets to him, with his head seemingly being specifically reminiscent of distinct puppets such as Slappy and Howdy Doody. He has a strange, long-dried liquid dripping from his eyesockets, mouth and small parts of his body, and a slightly orange-ish brown tone to his entire puppet-like "shell" overall.

Said "shell" is covered in multiple black thorns and branches, specially in his shoulders. His legs and specially arms have many of these small thorns through them and both noticeably lack their proper end, with the legs having large, sharp snake tails as feet and his arms having multiple long organic, thick strings that can apparently "control some objects" to a certain degree.

He has strange eyeballs within his head which seem to be constantly wide-open almost permanently, aswell as small and distorted puppet-like teeth in his jaws. His neck resembles that of mythical Sea Dragon creature, and is long enough to extend the Conqueror's full body length and give him a 360 degree view normally by moving around.

### Real form

Just like the Scream, Vanity and Entertainer, the Conqueror isn't originated from a human sinner, instead being fully created from Satan himself. Due to this, it's implied he might have a "Real" form and that his puppet shell, along with everything else described above are merely the manifestation he prefers.

## Personality

The Puppet Conqueror is easily one of the Blasphemous Seven whose behavior and overall way of acting seems to be the most influenced by his Sin itself, Envy. The Conqueror is overall serious and is actually a capable strategist among the team, but he seems to have almost next to no control of his envy, to the point where just seeing someone surpass him in an area he had the most experience or knowledge in is already enough to distance himself from his fellow Sins for literal hours, even going as far as having mild fits of anger (not as bad as any of Goatman's though) or even believing someone is trying to actively be better than him.

Sometimes even just seeing others (including the Sins, of course) be interested in something he's great in is enough for him to be rather almost instantly cold towards them, and at his worst he's even capable of brainwashing attempts to stop them, in fear they'll somehow surpass him if they manage to do too much. As expected, he seems to be genuinely happy (in a sort of disturbing way) when he has something over someone even if it's something that really barely matters, as seen with how he rarely misses a opportunity of telling Entertainer or Vanity the group's name features him as part of it and not them.

Outside of his Sin traits, the Conqueror is generally helpful to the team since outside of his envy and basically default strange behavior, he's among the most rational Sins, with a slight understanding of humans that helps with the group's plans. While he's serious he's far from laid-back, even saying his blunt opinions regarding a plan directly to the team's best tacticians (Ringmaster and Scream) if he has any, and blatantly pointing out whenever someone among the group is acting unusually (which considering how he is can be quite ironic) most of the time. Similarly to the Wardrobe Clown, he also seems to do some strange (although still not as twisted) wisecracks when he has the chance at times.

## Prior to the Story

### Origin

After being defeated by an opposing force, Baphomet restarted his plan to invade **Earth** by making himself a "greater" being, believing his narcissism led to his defeat. First, he began by willingly removing all emotions he deemed unnecessary so that they wouldn't possibly cloud his judgement and ruin his schemes ever again.

Through said process, he completely removed all the emotions he didn't find necessary from his own body, such as said narcissism. Due to being made of malevolent human thoughts however, he realized a few of his emotions were mankind's sins in their beliefs. From the "Sins" he separated, he specifically decided to experiment with his Envy and Despair at the same time, just to see how they could possibly develop on their own. Both of them ultimately became stable beings, with **Envy** naturally having the exact same envious feelings towards mankind Baphomet himself once had, and thus physically manifested in a way that properly represented so, calling it the "Puppet Conqueror".

However, the one who actually managed to prove itself as a successful experiment first was **Despair**. This led to the latter being deemed as the first experiment and initial leader of the Seven, with the Conqueror essentially losing everything he could've gotten in the process.

### Blasphemous Seven

As with the rest of the Sins, despite having a fairly clear origin it's unknown how he was specifically recruited in the original Blasphemous Seven or even the current version of the team. Although it's well known he was temporarily removed from the previous version of the team due to his constant issues, which then led to him being readded fairly late and not making it into the current group's "First Five" despite having participated in the previous version of it (which actually really pisses him off.)

## Powers and Abilities

The Conqueror seems to be specifically remarkable among the Blasphemous Seven in terms of abilities due to the fact they don't seem to be particularly terrible nor great in any sense, mostly just being "standard" overall in comparison to all the other Sins, who have one ability related to something and are really good at it.

**"Perfect" Infrared Aim**: Due to some of his snake-like physiology, the Conquerorhas very good sight that works just like Night-Vision Googles, similarly to certain existing species of snakes. This sort of vision allows him to see the body heat (Infrared Light) of things around him, and due to his constant, obsessive use of his own powers he's nearly perfect at distinguishing details, beings or objects well from one another fairly quickly at a decent distance, and while he sees best at night, his eyes have adapted to seeing in daylight aswell, so he's no longer blind at daytime and can act properly there too.
