When an evil sorcerer named Mevolent gathered an army and tried to conquer the world to summon the Faceless Ones back to their reality he was opposed by a resistance movement, in which Skulduggery helped. At some point, he met Ghastly Bespoke and Hopeless, and they became good friends. When he was a child he had a stutter that caused people to think that he was possessed by the devil. Skulduggery Pleasant grew up presumably somewhere in Ireland approximately 400 years ago.

He did not, however, manage to stop his ex-girlfriend from being resurrected. Five years later, he regained his senses and became Skulduggery Pleasant again.įrom 2007 onward, he took on Valkyrie Cain as an apprentice Detective and together they have saved the world many times – most notably when two of the three generals returned, the Faceless Ones almost broke into our dimension (after which he was trapped in another universe), Croke Park Stadium was almost destroyed, a Remnant infestation of Ireland, the Death Bringer almost killing everyone, Argeddion almost destroying the world by giving Mortals magic, the War between Sanctuaries – in which almost every Sanctuary in the world declared war on Ireland – also almost killed everyone, Valkyrie succumbed to Darquesse, making him draw together a team of soldiers, monster hunters, killers, criminals and Valkyrie's reflection to defeat a god. He was resurrected, but he soon was overcome by his fury and desire for destruction and joined Mevolent's Forces, becoming Lord Vile, the most powerful of the Three Generals. However, the death of his family at the hands of Nefarian Serpine caused him to go mad and in a fit of rage, he picked up a poisoned dagger which trapped him, and Serpine tortured and killed him. He fought in the War against Mevolent as part of a group called the Dead Men.
