Background[]

The Pontifex Magicus originated from the realm of Mysterium, where he became a very well known wizard. Later in his life, he had a daughter named Kreel who left their homeland after the Merge.

The Hollow Ones[]

While staying in Abracalabria, one day the Pontifex Magicus and other wizards were hollowed by an unknown threat during a spectral invasion.

In hope of receiving information about an entrance to the Underworld, Ras, Arin and Sora travelled to Abracalabria, where - according to Lord Ras - the Pontifex Magicus resided as someone who would be in the know. After entering the city the trio saw said man wandering around but in a condition that wouldn't allow him to talk to the them, as he was hollowed shortly before the first spectral invasion operated by Kur.

Chaos Reigns[]

The Pontifex was finally unhollowed along with the rest of Abracalabria after Thunderfang was defeated by the ninja.
