Master of the Graveyard


 * Are you looking for the song titled, Master of the Graveyard?

"Whatever, just take your time. The end result will be the same. I will eat you to your last bone."



The Master of the Graveyard is the awakened vessel of Gluttony. She commands the graveyard around Evil's Theater, capturing and devouring any tresspassers. Her servants refer to her as the Queen of the Dead and the Repulsive Food Eater.

Awakening
Sometime before EC 990, the Glass of Conchita awakened, assuming the title of Master of the Graveyard with her Servants by her side. She became subservient to Ma and was tasked with guarding the Theater from any intruders. Building a graveyard around the theater, she devoured any intruders who came within its perimeter.

Gammon Octo, attempting to obtain the Venom Sword, managed to elude the Master of the Graveyard and her servants, but ended up at the mercy of the Master of the Court. She and her servants desired Gammon to be captured, executed, or eaten but was denied her meal by the Waiter. At some point, Gammon told her he entrusted his body and life to her. Despite his trust, she planned to one day have him in her stomach as well.

She later attended the "trial" the Master of the Court held, searching for the vessel of Wrath. In response to GEAR's impatient and pessimistic commentary about their search, she called him the "soul of Adam who fell in the trap" and told him he was helpless to do anything about it either before or now.

Personality
The Master of the Graveyard is described as a dark and deceitful woman. She adopts many of the traits and mannerisms of her vessel's sinner, Banica Conchita, including Conchita's cruel treatment of others and her gruesome appetite.

When GEAR comments how nothing will exist in the end, she makes a snide remark about his helplessness both then and now to do anything about it. Similarly, she toyed with her victims by asking them which method of cooking them they would prefer since it didn't make a difference for her; she would still eat them entirely.

Although officially serving Ma, she harbors her own intentions and exemplifies this deceit by planning to one day devour Gammon Octo (who entrusted his life to her) to satiate her hunger. Despite this, she shows a loyalty to her servants by defending them when GEAR mocks their incessant banter.

Skills
Being the awakened vessel of Gluttony, the Master of the Graveyard wields all the powers granted to her by the Glass of Conchita. She also commands the graveyard surrounding the theater, successfully capturing and killing many intruders who enter Evils Forest and devouring them.

Appearance
The Master of the Graveyard adopts the appearance of Banica Conchita with pale skin, short, blood-red hair, and fiendish, red eyes. She dressed in a red, Victorian gown with gothic Lolita fashion. Her dress was elaborate with many layers tied together with white bows. It had red frills along her shoulders and white frills along her arms and along the bottom of her dress.

She wore dark gloves that tinted her skin color and a black collar with a red stripe, decorated with a black cross hanging atop her collarbone, as well as a black veil and a small, dark magenta hat with a red rose atop her head. Finally, she wielded a dark magenta parasol in her hands at all times.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The vessel's original form, The Seed, is represented as a pomegranate, often referred to as the "Fruit of Death" in Greek mythology.
 * The pomegranate connects to Hades and his dual aspect of fertility and destruction as well as the myth of his wife Persephone and the pomegranate.
 * Her attire resembles Victorian-era clothing; tuberculosis, a disease which causes weight loss and coughing up blood, was identified and named an endemic in this era, nicknamed "consumption".
 * The Master of the Graveyard's relation to the Graveyard is connected to the event of Death in Hieronymus Bosch's The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things.

Curiosities

 * The Master of the Graveyard's hat with a rose is positioned in the same place as a rose flower Banica Conchita wears in some of her appearances.
 * She bears an obvious connection to Banica Conchita, the Deadly Sinner who commited the epitome of Gluttony.
