Destrier is a member of the anti-Sanctuary and plans to rule over the Mortals.

Biography[]

Resurrection[]

Destrier teleports into Richard Melior's house, along with Lethe, Nero, Razzia, Memphis and Smoke. He is described as "dressed in an ill-fitting suit. He is later identified by Skulduggery. His only words in Resurrection are when he is walking past Valkyrie in her cell.

Midnight[]

Destrier, Nero, Razzia and Cadaverous Gant are waiting at a road in Italy, their mission to stop the ambulance carrying Caisson. When the ambulance comes, Destrier walks out into the middle of the road and holds up his hand. All around him, times slows down. Razzia gets into the ambulance as it inches along and throws out the driver and the passenger. Destrier then lowers his hand, and they hit the road. Razzia kills them both, and they go to the back of the van. Destrier, Razzia and Nero kill the peoples inside, as Gant takes the unconscious body of Caisson to safety. When they walk out of the ambulance, Gant pulls a double-cross and hits Destrier on the head with the butt of a gun, probably rendering him unconscious, as he is not mentioned for the rest of the chapter.

Bedlam[]

Destrier leaves the Anti-Sanctuary, no longer agreeimg with their goals.

Seasons of War[]

Destrier uses the Eternity Gate to help Damocles Creed capture Mevolent. Creed threatened Mevolent's wife, Serafina Dey, to get Mevolent to step into the machine. Serafina stabs herself with the same knife that Creed had just held to her throat, and the two of them step into the machine and Destrier activates it, trapping them frozen in time.

Until the End[]

Destrier is approached by Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain with Omen Darkly in tow just as the world is being rapidly erased by Obsidian. Destrier reveals that he has completed his work on a modified Necronaut suit that would allow him to go back in time to a specified date but stressed that in doing so, he would put all of reality at a significant risk. After agreeing that the goal of finding and retrieving Darquesse was preferable to complete annihilation from Obsidian, he prepares to enter the suit, asking Valkyrie and Skulduggery for any final relevant information before doing so. Destrier is shortly after killed when a doomsday preaching Null enters the building and opens fire, hitting Destrier in the heart. His work would ultimately be utilized by Omen Darkly instead, adopting the name Sebastian Tao.
