List of Skulduggery Pleasant Characters - Skulduggery Pleasant - The Elders - Sagacious Tome

Sagacious Tome

Although a wise and powerful Elder himself, Sagacious Tome appears to have something of an inferiority complex and is somewhat paranoid believing that all the Magical Community believe him to be insignificant compared to Meritorious and Morwenna. Bitter at this, the very ambitious Sagacious joins forces with Serpine and tricks the other Elders enabling Serpine to destroy them in order to get the Great Book of Names. When the spell that Sagacious, Meritorious and Morwenna placed over the Book to protect it still doesn't disappear, Serpine kills Sagacious with the Sceptre of the Ancients as well, thereby enabling him to take the Book.

Sagacious is a very haughty individual and is notable for being even more melodramatic than Serpine saying about the people who he believed were mocking him "The streets will run red with their blood" causing Serpine to wryly comment "How very dramatic". Also, in The Faceless Ones, he is mentioned to have been a Teleporter, as evidenced when he appeared and disappeared from the Christ Church in Book 1.

Famous quotes containing the word tome:

    She carries a book but it is not
    the tome of the ancient wisdom,
    the pages, I imagine, are the blank pages
    of the unwritten volume of the new.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
