Lore & Background

In arc 4 he is revealed to have been a close family friend of Emilia and her aunt Fortuna. When the Witch of Vanity attacked the elf settlement a hundred years earlier, he absorbed the unstable Witch Factor of Sloth and accidentally killed Fortuna, the source of his insanity and his devotion to Satella.

Petelgeuse wields the Authority of Sloth, the Unseen Hands: invisible, shadow-like tentacles that can pass through objects. He is usually accompanied by ten hand-picked cultists called Fingers, who act as sub-commanders and spare bodies. He targets Subaru, sensing his deep connection to the Witch of Envy, and is defeated by Julius and Subaru; Subaru finally crushes him under carriage wheels.
