Mordred agreed on helping him, in exchange for Doem backing support in the Cult’s upcoming internal power struggle.

Rose drew her sword and attacking him all sudden, but his subordinate called for some guards to apprehended her. Rose, now framed as a criminal, fled with Perv warning the princess to surrender herself before the festival end, or he'll ordered her father to make him kill the king Klaus Midgar. Perv and her collaborators then dissuaded Midgar's government not to get involved in interfering with Rose's affairs and personally want to handle it themselves.

Perv later meets Iris Midgar at the tournament when she, who is suspicious of Perv, discusses and asks about Rose's predicament but Perv calmly expressed confidence that she will return to him once she calmed down. He explains that his puppet king will be attending the festival tomorrow citing not feeling unwell and apologized that the security that had been prepared was in vain, which Iris explains that his father, king Klaus Midgar will be also watching from tomorrow.

Perv and Iris watch the tournament when the match between Annerose Nichtsehen and Mundane Mann. Iris had a feeling that Mundane will possibly win the match, and Mundane wins against Annerose and compliments Iris's observation. After the match was over, Perv had his men search Mundane Mann background, believing he might be a potential threat to his plans because it will be a problem if he is denizen from underworld society backed by the Lawless City, even Perv dismisses the idea of Mundane is part of Shadow Garden and doubts if they have a motive to make an attention-grabbing action at the Bushin Festival.

Upon arriving at the tournament for the final match, Perv, along with King Raphael Oriana, met up with Iris once more only to become wary when Beatrix was there, who took notice something off about the king. Perv also waited for Rose to arrived at the tournament because of his threat at her, even if she didn't come he would definitely make his puppet king to kill King Klaus and start a war resulting Oriana Kingdom annihilation and the cult's plans to install a puppet leader in Midgar Kingdom is already underway.

Perv also thought of getting rid of Princess Iris if she were to become a hindrance but he decided to forget about it, due to Beatrix's presence which would become even more troublesome if she decided to make a move against him. Even Perv have to be on high alert about Mundane Mann because he never found anything about him no matter how hard Perv searches, which means Mundane is a pro and have some objective. So, Perv decide to wait until the predicament outcome of the match between Iris and Mundane.

He watched Iris's match against Mundane and was shocked that Iris was taken down in one strike. Suddenly, Rose Oriana arrived and she killed her father, along with wounding Perv. Outraged that he lost his puppet, Perv ordered his knights to arrest Rose only for them to be stopped by Mundane Mann who revealed himself to be Shadow. Perv sends his men after Rose as she flees only to see his men he chose have been killed by Shadow and he watches Shadow against Beatrix but she was overwhelmed. Perv witnessed in horror as Shadow's fight ends with Beatrix losing even with Iris Midgar's help, as he besting both of them. Also, Perv witnessing Shadow emitting a large magic vortex from his body in the tournament.

Now, with Rose escaped because Shadow Interference, Perv decide to change his original plans as he on the way to Oriana Kingdom which is now become a civil war.

Powers & Abilities
As an Royal Chancellor, he had enormous influence, second to the king. Only by giving effective advice, he was appointed to represent his kingdom and be the spokesman for the king. He possessed some physical strength and magical power on par with the "Second Children" of the Cult of Diablos.

Raphael Oriana
Perv brainwashed the king to become his puppet in taking over the Oriana Kingdom. He prepared to have Raphael assassinate King Klaus Midgar and then used him as a meat shield in case Rose tried to attack him during the Bushin Festival, only to be outraged that the princess killed her father as losing him cost his control over the kingdom. In the end, Perv received his comeuppance when Rose activated the "Ring of Succession" that projected an image of Raphael who exposed all of Perv's crimes.

Reina Oriana
Reina was Perv's lover and part of his collaborators in taking over the Oriana Kingdom when she agreed to help Perv brainwash her husband. While it seems Perv is engaged in a romantic relationship with the queen, it's revealed that Perv saw Reina as nothing more than a useful pawn and implied that he would have her either brainwashed like her husband or killed.

Cid Kagenō / Shadow (Mundane Mann)
Perv catches a glimpse of Cid at the Bushin Festival while in the deluxe suite, but he ignores him. Even when Perv sees him back in the Oriana Kingdom during the civil war, he does not recognize his face and only notices him as the famous pianist and composer Shiron's apprentice making Perv tries to test his skills by playing the piano in front of the nobles as he wants to embarrass him. When he is playing the "Moonlight Sonata" with a passion to the end, Perv was amazed by his performance and wanted to know his name until Perv didn't realize that he was snatching the "Ring of Succession".

On the other hand, Perv was terrified of Shadow after seeing just how truly deadly he was during the Bushin Festival. When he lost the "Ring of Succession", he dismissed the idea that it was Shadow's doing because he believed he would have just easily killed him to get it.

Mordred
Despite Mordred being his direct superior, Perv had no loyalty to him and would have switched allegiances to another Rounds member if it served his goals. Nonetheless, he was shown to be rather fearful of the knight, hiding the fact that he had lost the "Ring of Succession" out of fear of what he would do to him. True enough, Perv died at Mordred's hands after he learned of his failures.

Beatrix
Perv heard about the famed "Goddess of War" and was quite wary of her, concluding that he needed to be careful when she sensed something was off about Raphael despite the chancellor's attempts to hide the king's brainwashing.
