The Diablerie is a group of the "sickest fanatics" on Mevolent's side of the 300 Year War, led variously by China Sorrows, Baron Vengeous, and Jaron Gallow.

In the early twenty-first century, three of its survivors - Gallow, Murder Rose, and Gruesome Krav - were recruited by Batu to bring the Faceless Ones back, the group's primary goal.

History[]

The 300 year War[]

The Diablerie was founded by China Sorrows. At least two other member of the Diablerie, Baron Vengeous and Jaron Gallow, were China's students; it is unknown if this applies to the entire group. Other members of the Diablerie included Gruesome Krav and Murder Rose, as well as at least three others.

When Nefarian Serpine plotted to kill Skulduggery Pleasant in 1690, the Diablerie was responsible for capturing Skulduggery's family. Murder Rose went after the child and surprisingly brought it back unharmed, and China herself captured Skulduggery's wife. Different members of the Diablerie stopped in and watched Skulduggery's subsequent torture from time to time.

The Diablerie was also responsible for the fall of the French Sanctuary in Marseilles, opening the doors for the rest of Mevolent's forces.

At some point, China invited Abyssinia to join the Diablerie, and Abyssinia accepted. After Abyssinia betrayed Mevolent, the Diablerie was sent to eliminate her, temporarily allying with the Dead Men. Tensions escalated between the two groups and the alliance nearly broke down until Abyssinia's trail was discovered. The combined force fought Abyssinia for several days but failed to defeat her, until China threatened Abyssinia's son, Caisson, agreeing to take care of him if Abyssinia surrendered.

China grew to care for Caisson, and withdrew from the war to protect him. She was replaced as the Diablerie's leader by Vengeous, now one of Mevolent's Three Generals, who utilised the Diablerie for many of his projects. Gallow took operational command when Vengeous was not around.

By around 1890, the Diablerie was no longer considered a real threat, and the whereabouts of the surviving members were unknown after the war ended in 1929.

Serving Batu[]

In the early twenty-first century, Batu recruited Gallow, Rose, and Krav for his plan to open a portal to the Faceless Ones' reality at Aranmore Farm, and hired Billy-Ray Sanguine to serve as additional muscle, also gaining the support of the Administrator.

In 2010, the Diablerie's plan comes to fruition. Batu begins killing all the Teleporters except for Fletcher Renn, whom he intends to use to open the portal; this is to prevent any of the other Teleporters from closing it.

The Diablerie succeeds in opening the portal at the Battle of Aranmore Farm, whereupon it is revealed that Batu intends to sacrifice the Diablerie to the Faceless Ones. Krav and Rose are claimed by the Faceless Ones, as is Batu himself, but Gallow escapes and renounces his faith, functionally ending the Diablerie.
