And you. Are. History!" - Pit

## Profile

### Identity

Archer's true identity is Pit, a young angel boy trapped in the Underworld. Then he was entrusted with a magical bow from the imprisoned Goddess of Light, Palutena as well as a mission to defeat the Queen of the Underworld, Medusa and save Skyworld. He eventually succeeds, becoming the leader of Palutena's army and returning to the action to defeat Medusa once more before going on to eventually defeat Hades, the one who revived Medusa, with the help of the Great Sacred Treasure produced by Dyntos and Dark Pit, his darker clone created by the Mirror of Truth.

### Personality

Pit is shown to be very comical most of the time, as he, like many characters in the game, breaks the fourth wall many a time. However, he knows when to take things seriously, and even when he is joking around he fights as hard as he can. He is very annoyed that he cannot fly without the use of some item or power from one of the gods, but Pit does not let this weakness of his bring him down or hamper his progress. Furthermore, he is shown to be very gullible at times. However, he does not have a personality in either of his previous games.

Pit also trusts Palutena more than anyone. He has put his life on the line for her many times and always fights for her, not himself. Pit is selfless, and will not stop at anything to put a smile on anyone's face.

## Abilities

Despite being a flightless angel, Pit is still a skilled and versatile fighter. He originally started out as an archer that mainly specialized in using the Bow, but over the years he has become more experienced with using various weapons, such as the Blade, Claws, and Cannon.

He has a very high level of durability, as his body was capable of taking Magnus's powerful blows and attacks. In Uprising, Pit mentions that he's "spent this entire game getting shot at," showcasing his durability against the Underworld Army and the like.

Also, as the Captain of Palutena's Guard, he has demonstrated good leadership skills. Despite Pit's extreme dependence and trust in Palutena, he's capable of coming up with ideas and strategies on his own, as shown from battling Hades's Heart or when battling Pseudo-Palutena when the real Palutena was asleep.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Palutena’s Gifts; Blessings of the Goddess of Light**

Throughout his adventures (Mainly in Kid Icarus Uprising) Pit has been assisted by her either directly or indirectly by his beloved goddess. Unfortunately due to the end of the Age of the Gods, along with Pit himself being a Servant instead of a full-blown Heroic Spirit. This Noble Phantasm has suffered a tremendous 2 ranks down along with losing access to most of weapons he used on his journey.

Pit does have access to two important things that were a central part of his legend though.

The first of which is the Power of Flight. With it, Pit can spread his wings and take off into the night sky with little trouble. His Agility also goes up One rank while using this power, but there is a catch. A 5 minute time limit that will have his wings catch fire if he uses the blessing past the 5 minute mark. Pit himself will be put in near out of commission during that point and will leave a master particularly vulnerable while he recovers...

The second gift is called Palutena’s Bow. A bow that can shoot out arrows of light and gains speed the further it travels. It is a weak bow while Pit is standing but can be surprisingly lethal while he is on the move. The bow was painstakingly crafted by Palutena herself and can split into two separate blades if close quarters is forced…

#### **Three Sacred Treasures**

This Phantasm came from Pit’s very first journey. His journey to rescue the Goddess Palutena from Medusa, a goddess of darkness and Palutena’s former co-ruler driven to evil by her hatred of humanity. Using these Treasures, Pit triumphed over Medusa and saved Palutena from her imprisonment, and restored peace to Skyworld and the earth.

The three Sacred Treasures are a trump card, and are incredibly powerful to even the most dangerous enemy servants. The Arrows of Light fire great beams of pure light energy enough to greatly injure even a Divine Spirit such as Medusa, the Wings of Pegasus have no time limit to worry about and the Mirror shield is capable of blocking or even reflecting noble phantasms.
