Mr. Bliss


The strongest man on Earth, Mr. Bliss is a sinister and enigmatic man who works for the Elders. He later betrays them in favour of Serpine who he believes is too powerful to defeat. He is later revealed to be a double-agent for the Elders and assists in defeating Serpine. He is China Sorrows' brother. He and China were brought up to worship the Faceless Ones but neither worships them anymore although they continue to believe in their existence and so assist Skulduggery in preventing Serpine from resurrecting them in Book 1 and Baron Vengeous from doing so in Book 2 and Batu and the Diablerie in Book 3. Both he and China mistrust and apparently despise each other though in the third book after Gruesome Krav attempts to kill China he chases after him yelling "My sister? You tried to kill my sister? My sister is the only family I have left!" . In addition to his alarming strength, Mr. Bliss is also described as being very difficult to kill, with his sister admitting "I've tried to kill him several times already and he just won't stay down". He was killed by a Faceless One in the third book "Faceless Ones".
