Stories featuring Sir Pentious
About Sir Pentious
Character Background
A sinner from the Victorian Era. He was a Victorian era demon striving to be modern and cool and has a passion for building steampunk machines of destruction. His goal in the pilot was to conquer Hell using his machines and army of Egg Boiz. After being forgiven by Charlie and he became the second guest the Hotel was attempting to redeem.
As a sinner demon, Sir Pentious had a snake-like appearance with a body color predominantly in charcoal grey. His eyes had cerise sclera with black pupils, and a mouth with sharp yellow teeth, two of which were long snake-like fangs.
His tail was black with thick yellow stripes featuring numerous cerise eyes running down the length of it. He had a black cobra hood with its front colored yellow with black corners and four cerise eye patterns spread across the center.
Sir Pentious wore a jacket in a matching charcoal grey to his skin, pinstriped with yellow, and a black bow tie with a single cerise eye in the center. Beneath the jacket was a long-sleeved orange-yellow undershirt. He also wore black fingerless gloves with yellow dots on each knuckle and had sharp cerise claws.
He accessorized with a large top hat in charcoal grey, which had a sizeable cerise eye in the center of it, as well as many sharp yellow teeth and a pair of goggles. The top hat blinked and changed expressions in unison with Sir Pentious.
Personality
Sir Pentious is extremely emotional, bombastic, flamboyant, short-tempered, temperamental and persistent, and his personality seems to take cues from the classic "mustache-twirling" stock villains. He takes tremendous pride in his grandiose ideas of how evil and cunning he is, and at one point even openly declares "I'm so evil!".
He uses his mechanical genius to build weapons, such as a cannon and his airship. However, he is more than capable of showing remorse and has a sense of honor. He demonstrates this when he accepts his defeat and "inevitable death" at the hands of the Hotel staff after being reprimanded by Vox for failing.
When Charlie forgives him, he is grateful and fully joins in his redemptive effort. At first, however, he had trust issues since he felt like everybody being nice to him in the Hotel was an act to get him. Additionally, he is enthusiastic about Charlie and Vaggie's activities, more so than Angel Dust, even if it began as an act.
According to Husk, Sir Pentious is a lonely jester who likes to watch others while they sleep. Beneath his supervillain facade, Sir Pentious felt deeply alone and deeply afraid of taking risks, developing a desire to be recognized and a part of a group like the Vees.

He also cannot die from any kind of damage to the body, and will recover from any injury, however, he can only be permanently killed with angelic weaponry.

Constriction - Sir Pentious is able to constrict his victims with his tail. This is demonstrated in the pilot when he squeezes one of the Egg Boiz. Sir Pentious turns this feature into metaphor when he exposits over his plan to take over Hell, claiming that no one would be able to escape from his "constrictive grasp".
Omnidirectional vision - Sir Pentious has eyes scattered across his body which allows him to see in different directions. Though he is shown to lack many of the eyes in his winner form, he still claims to be covered in eyes in "Storyteller", implying he retains this ability.
