Though it is difficult to confirm, it is believed that Pendulum was the oldest ~~Immortal~~ of the Lost Age.

	Of course, being a powerful player in the Contest also made Pendulum powerful enemies. Some ~~Titans~~ sought his destruction, to take him out of the Contest permanently. Many ~~{{Category Stormhearts}}~~ sought revenge for being defeated in a grand game. ~~{{Category~~ Dragons}} and other ~~Immortals~~ mostly avoided Pendulum, when they could, or sought him out for aid when desperate.

	Pendulum was among a small number of ~~Immortals~~ and ~~Dragons~~ that paved the way for a wider alliance with the ~~{{Category~~ Founders}} before the [[Foundation War]].

When Pendulum decided to ally with the Founders, many other dragons and immortals saw the opportunity in a different light, seeing wisdom where once there was only folly.

	Pendulum helped strategize with the Founders, choosing which ~~Titans~~ to attack, and when to attack them. Pendulum revealed many of the secrets of [[~~Consolidation~~]] to ~~Servitors~~ of the Founders, which led to the invention of the ~~Rending~~ weapon. Pendulum also directly confronted the forces of the ~~Titans~~, most famously at the Battles of the Shattered Shores.

They sparkle with an internal light, a manifestation of his profound magical prowess and the vast knowledge he has accumulated. As with many Immortals, when Pendulum casts spells or focuses intensely, his eyes might flicker with tiny bolts of lightning or swirl with mist, reflecting the stirring of Fury beneath his Integral form. His skin has an almost translucent quality, with a slight luminescence that makes him stand out in any light. This otherworldly glow hints at his immortal nature and the centuries of exposure to magical energies.

	Pendulum wields a staff that is as old as he is, crafted from the wood of a tree that once stood at the nexus of ley lines in an ancient enchanted forest. The staff is topped with a crystal that pulses with a light from within, containing a trapped storm—a trophy from his defeat of a powerful ~~{{Category~~ Stormheart}}. He also carries an ancient tome attached to his belt, its cover a dark leather clasped in silver.
