China is magically beautiful, and her power is to make anyone fall in love with her at first sight. She is fluent in the language of magic and has hidden symbols all over her body and the library that she owns. She is quite secretive, but as time goes on Valkyrie gets to know her. China used to worship the Dark Gods (The Faceless Ones), as her whole family did (including Mr. Bliss, her brother). China helps Skulduggery and Valkyrie out many times, and has fought alongside them, though she calls herself neutral, stating '"I am loyal to one person only. That person is me.'" She is also perceived by Skulduggery as "not to be trusted". When asked by a fan, Derek Landy confirmed that the additional scar to Ghastly's head in Cassandra Pharos' vision (in Last Stand of Dead Men) was inflicted by Billy-Ray Sanguine, as an act of jealousy that Tanith had chosen Ghastly.

[ citation needed] Plot summary [ edit ] Ghastly is a highly skilled boxer and tailor, skills which he inherited from his mother and father, respectively.

Stephanie tells Ghastly that they believe that Serpine killed her uncle Gordon to get the Sceptre of the Ancients. Ghastly and Stephanie get into an argument about how she is to young for the world of magic. Stephanie storms out, and Skulduggery asks Ghastly if they can have access to his family’s collection of art and books about the Ancients in the Vault. Ghastly does not give him permission and calls Skulduggery irresponsible for allowing Stephanie to be involved. Skulduggery then leaves. This year, Halloween still might not be quite like normal, thanks to the pandemic. But there are still loads of ways to have fun and make the most of the day. The greatest weapon in Serpine's arsenal is his Red Right Hand which has the dark power to cause individuals great pain, eventually killing them, when pointed at. He was taught this by High Priest Tenebrae after Serpine surrounded the necromancer's temple.Serpine is highly intelligent and a skilled manipulator who managed to persuade Sagacious Tome to join him.

According to the novel's magical premise, knowing someone's given name gives you a limited amount of power over them. China Sorrows knows Stephanie's name, and uses this knowledge to prevent Stephanie from rescuing Skulduggery. Stephanie is thus forced to take on the name Valkyrie Cain. Taking this name seals her given name, keeping others from controlling her, and breaks China's hold on her, allowing her to save Skulduggery. Although known as Valkyrie by other characters from this point onwards, Landy continues to refer to her in the third-person as Stephanie in the first book, and Skulduggery chooses to call her Valkyrie. However, for the rest of the series, she is known as Valkyrie. Lord Vile fights Darquesse alongside Melancholia St Clair. Skulduggery takes charge again after an explosion took place in Roarhaven.Due to his duties as an Elder Ghastly doesn't appear much. Skulduggery and Valkyrie visit the Sanctuary in Roarhaven to report what they have to the Elders. Ghastly openly expresses he does not like being an Elder and is focusing all his powers on trying to find Remnant Tanith. Landy is an established writer, and the combats between Skulduggery, Serpine and his legions of Hollow Men rival the climaxes of the Potter films for hair-raising effects; it isn't often that writing makes you feel as if you are watching a film.

He once used the earth power in defense against the White Cleaver Serpine had created, resulting in him being turned to stone for two years. Though he is gifted, he prefers to use his fists, which are very strong, as shown when Ghastly fights Tesseract with hand-to-hand combat.
