## Biography

### Rise of the Dark Masters

Piedmon was created by Apocalymon long before the DigiDestined arrived in the Digital World, and was aware of the Agents' plot to bring the DigiDestined into the Digital World to save it.

With an army of Guardromon and Mekanorimon, he assaulted the Agents' castle and attempted to steal the DigiDestined's arsenal, but one of the Agents, Gennai, was able to retrieve the Digi-Eggs and Digivices intended for the DigiDestined and escaped in a Mekanorimon. However, Piedmon still obtained the Crests and Tags, and gave them to Devimon to hide. Devimon hid the Tags in the Net Ocean while he scattered the Crests around the Continent of Server. While the DigiDestined were fighting Myotismon in the Real World, Piedmon and his fellow Dark Masters were able to take control of the Digital World.

    Piedmon lived atop of Spiral Mountain, which consisted of areas of the Digital World that had been turned into a lifeless wasteland; he saw no need in specializing what kind of area he wanted aside from darkness. He observed his domain and monitored the other Dark Masters while they fought the DigiDestined using a TV-like device. After returning to the Digital World, when the DigiDestined first encountered Piedmon in the form of a clown, narrating their impending doom before revealing himself. From there, he easily defeated WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon because he had far more experience.

Before he could ask for 'audience volunteers' for their 'grand exit', Piximon rescued the Digidestined and sent them to MetalSeadramon's territory. He watched from his castle as each Dark Master fell until his Digital Wasteland was all that was left of Spiral Mountain. Before confronting the DigiDestined, he sent LadyDevimon, his personal bodyguard, to kill them, but she failed. He fought them and nearly killed WarGreymon, but Matt and Garurumon showed and healed WarGreymon.

The Crest of Friendship Because he saved himself for the end, MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon were able to gain experience from their fights with the other three Dark Masters and back him into a corner with their combined strength. To avoid a losing-battle with them, he turned them, along with Andromon and most of the other DigiDestined into inanimate keychains; only T.K., Angemon, and Kari escaped, while Mimi and Lillymon were elsewhere. He was briefly held off by Angemon, but then sent T.K and Kari off a cliff by cutting a rope they were holding on to. However, T.K was able to digivolve Angemon into MagnaAngemon, who easily beat Piedmon, and then turned everyone back to normal.

    Despite Piedmon's efforts to counterattack with his army of Vilemon, the combined attacks of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon blasted Piedmon right into MagnaAngemon's Gate of Destiny, which then sealed and dissolved, putting an end to the Dark Masters. However, before his fate was sealed, he was timely saved by a portal used by Van Kleiss and brought back to his lab.

### New World

Awakens to his surprise to find himself someplace else as he expected to meet his fate in the Gate of Destiny, alongside other villains from other dimensions, Gorilla Grodd and the members of his Secret Society, the Green Goblin and Vexus, who had been timely saved by Van Kleiss to work alongside him. Rather than follow a human, he threatened him but offered to make it swift for timely intervention from his previous battle. However, instead he sends his 'daughter' Bell to face him, at first thought she was just a mere girl until she demonstrated her true skills to him after easily beaten the Mega-Level Digimon. After the demonstration of Bell’s abilities, Van Kleiss gave them the offer of upgraded abilities, injected Piedmon with nanites and Ghost powers that allow him to turn into ChaosPiedmon. Decided to put his powers to the test and challenged one of the Legendary Warriors, Beetlemon, along side Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck,. With his new powers, Piedmon easily overpowered them and close to victory when a Green Lantern power ring closed Daffy as the new Green Lantern, he was defeated and forced to retreat but swore to finish them off.

## Qoutes

* Piedmon telling a story he created with his own imagination, while disguised as an ordinary clown: *"Well, hello there boys and girls, and welcome! Today I'm going to tell you an amazing story. Once upon a time there were eight DigiDestined. They went with their Digimon companions to try to save the world. The children and their Digimon discovered that in order for them to do it, they'd have to travel to the top of Spiral Mountain. But to their dismay, the Dark Masters beat them. So sad."*
* *"Who would like to the first to be destroyed? Oh, come now, don't tell me you have stage fright?'**"***
