The Unnamed was Mevolent's master before Mevolent started The War. Not much is known about the Unnamed, except that he did not have a True Name, but was still able to perform Magic. It is unknown whether the Unnamed is still alive. In a painting at the Great Chamber, he is shown as a man burning with black fire.

In Skulduggery Pleasant: Midnight, it was revealed that he was the father of Abyssinia and therefore the previous King of the Darklands.

Magic and Abilities

He has the ability to burn in black fire. It is unknown what else he can do, and where his magic comes from, since he has no True Name, which is the source of the magic used by sorcerers. It is known that he is a direct descendant of the last Faceless One who had human form, and is implied that his family’s strain of magic is unique and quite possibly Neoteric.

He was capable of surviving one of the most powerful god killers: the void dagger, for a long duration.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Bedlam

As it turns out, The Unamed survived the intial attempt on his life by Mevolent and went into hiding. When his daughter was thought to be killed by Lord Vile, he nursed her back to health and instructed her to assimilate his powers and trap his soul in a soulcatcher, so that he may one day possess the body of his grandchild.

Near the end of Beldam Cassion is grievously wounded. Abyssinia, in her grief and despair, commands Nero to fetch the soulcather containing her father. Despite Skullduggery and Valykries pleas Abyssinia releases her father's soul into Cassions body. The Unamed, now inhabiting Cassions body, returns to life. He proceeds to take back the power he had granted Abyssinia before healing the damage done to his new vessel and flying away.
