Cousin Perdix was a member of Faction Paradox who survived the War in Heaven.

Biography[]

The leader of a "coven" who survived the "great war", (PROSE: Night of the Yssgaroth [+]James Hornby, SIGNET (Arcbeatle Press, 2023).) Perdix personally participated in a mission to 2021 London to set up a ritual that would allow the Faction to "steal" the hours lost by Londoners to daylight savings in the night of the 28th of March to the 29th. This necessitated that he break into the vaults of the Bank of London, something which he managed to do without being detected by security cameras.

However, Maxie Masters of P.R.O.B.E. divined his presence in London using her time detector, and alerted Scotland Yard. Perdix was temporarily arrested, and Giles was called him to interrogate him by the spooked police detectives who thought him "too weird". However, the Faction then altered history so that Maxie had not managed to pinpoint the anomalous temporal activity to the Bank, preventing Perdix's arrest. (HOMEVID: Daylight Savings [+]James Hornby, P.R.O.B.E. (BBV Productions, 2021).)

Some time later, however, the Fractured, who had become well-known to SIGNET leader Charles Zoltan, had become noticeably more ethereal, fearing that it would not take much to erase them completely. After a Galk was transported to York in the lead-up to an attempted Yssgaroth reemergence, the Fractured took the risk of travelling there to collect its bones, which they hoped to carve into the necessary equipment for new initiates. However, they made sure to vanish again before the Yssgaroth actually emerged. (PROSE: Night of the Yssgaroth [+]James Hornby, SIGNET (Arcbeatle Press, 2023).)

Behind the scenes[]

An older version of Perdix, holding the rank of Father in the Faction, had previously appeared in Seconds, a part of the Faction Paradox fanfiction archive The Stacks, written by James Hornby (who would go on to script Daylight Savings and write Night of the Yssgaroth). There, it was revealed that Perdix had been a native of Leeds prior to his recruitment by the Faction.
