I've always been curious if there was some preexisting reason Percy was Evil Entity Bait. (Besides the meta reason of Taliesin getting a kick out of that stuff.) Did Percy I or II anger something? Does his soul have a blinking neon sign on it that says "free real estate"?

For Orthax it's more that Percy was an ideal easy target; little to no mental defenses so it would be easy to worm into his mind, but also clever enough to bring enough bad things into the world to be worth it.

Craven Edge seems to figuratively smell Percy's blood in the water. Like the sword can tell he's metaphorically injured after Orthax. It tries over the week Percy sleeps with it under his bed to persuade him into using it.

The Githyanki Skull is where it becomes obvious there is some kind of tell these sorts of entities can sense in him. That skull basically could have had Grog with a slight bit more pressure, but it still specifically asked for Percy. Maybe the skull though he was a better catch or would have an easier time impersonating Percy until it got away?

While it never goes far, there are even some vibes that Raishan might have had some designs on Percy. In D&D 5e green dragons like to collect ... well ... lets consult the Monster Manual: "A green dragon's favored treasures are the sentient creatures it bends to its will, including significant figures such as popular heroes, well-known sages, and renowned bards."

When Percy is making a deal with Ipkesh he asks about it. "Does it show here? Can you see?" Being in the middle of the Nine Hells that's probably a smart thing to know; is it something that could be an advantage or is it something that would attract unwanted attention.

All things considered in the last arc of the campaign I was shocked Vecna didn’t try to shoot his shot with Percy.

Here are some Fun Facts™ about Mr. Lord Long Name, a.k.a.

Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III

brought to you by my research for this dumb game I'm trying to help out with

He only uses his full name 15 times during Campaign 1, in 13 episodes. Over half of which were before the Chroma Conclave attacked in episode 39. The last time he introduced himself that way was in episode 86 to Taryon.

The first time another player character calls him "Percival" is in episode 17.

The only player character to never call him "Percival" in Campaign 1 is Pike. Grog uses the name only once, in episode 40.

The nickname "Freddie" first gets used in episode 36. It gets used most often while the party is in the Nine Hells, because they decide to use aliases. The last time it's used is by Vax during his goodbyes in the final episode 115.

Vax is actually the player character that refers to him as "Percival" the most often, over 150 times during Campaign 1.

Things that often feel glossed over when folks talk about Percy during the Briarwood arc:

How confused or scared he seems throughout

How little he remembers of the TWO YEARS between escaping Whitestone and waking up after the Orthax dream

How many times he tells the party that: he doesn't trust himself, they might need to knock him out/restrain him, they might need to kill him

How he basically looks ill/is coughing the whole time because of the corruption

How much damage he takes over what is only 3-4 days in Whitestone: he takes more HP than every other party member (yep even Grog), is downed twice by banshees, is possessed by one of his ancestors, and then knocked out after taking more friendly fire than anyone else
