Skulduggery Pleasant/Characters: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Within]]}}

* [[Future Me Scares Me]]: Oh boy...

* [[How Much More Can He Take?|How Much More Can She Take?]]: {{spoiler|Lord Vile slits Darquesse's throat, ''shoves his thumb in her eye'' and generally delivers a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] that leaves her on the brink of death. She pretty much walks it off. On one hand... yay! Skulduggery didn't kill Valkyrie! On the other hand... Darquesse. Just. Doesn't. Die.}} [[Oh Crap|Humanity is screwed.]]

* {{spoiler|[[Jekyll and Hyde]]: Darquesse}}

* [[Just a Kid]]: Gets this from others a lot. Sometimes it's justified.

 

* [[Atonement Detective]]: In ''Death Bringer'' we find out what he was atoning for.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: While he seems perfectly normal (aside from the obvious lack of flesh and organs) a few people, including Skulduggery himself, have alluded to him becoming a bit of psycho after his family died. It started to show after ''Dark Days''.
