This is seen when the supernatural-seeking Veritas Brigade, led by Starchy, defend him from Peace Master in "Nemesis," with Starchy telling Peace Master, "That's my boy Peppermint Butler you're messing with!" Though the Gumball Guardian has called Peppermint Butler "Dark One," other candy citizens are either unaware of or accepting of Peppermint Butler's dark side. This episode further displays his secretive side Princess Bubblegum seems to be unaware of anything going on. Although Peppermint Butler does notice he has gone too far and allow Peace Master to leave, he does not turn his children back. It is revealed in " Nemesis" that he has an evil and vindictive side, even torturing Peace Master by turning his children into demon hybrids. A Gumball Guardian seems to know that Peppermint Butler might have had a dark past, as seen in " The Suitor" when he went to his lair and called him "Dark One," not questioning the demon he had trapped. In " You Made Me," when Finn asks to see his aura, Peppermint Butler declines, sweating nervously, backing away, and replying with "you don't wanna see that." In " The Suitor," Peppermint Butler summoned the demon Ogdoad to possess Cinnamon Bun. In " Return to the Nightosphere," a picture is shown of Peppermint Butler golfing with Hunson Abadeer as a background gag.Ī picture of Hunson Abadeer and Peppermint Butler golfing together There is also some controversy with Peppermint Butler and a Goblin in the episode " The Eyes." It looks as though Peppermint Butler has killed the goblin by claiming to Finn and Jake that the goblin had been dead when he found it ("I swear I found it that way,") Peppermint Butler diverts suspicion from himself. Given that Finn and Jake still have their flesh, this may have only been a morbid joke. Peppermint Butler seems to have a dark and secret past, as he has close ties with Death (revealed in " Death in Bloom.") This acquaintanceship saved Finn and Jake from peril, but Peppermint Butler later claimed that he would steal the flesh from Finn and Jake's sleeping bodies as payment. For example, in " Mortal Recoil," he realized that Princess Bubblegum was being possessed by the Lich, as evidenced by his hissing at the sight of her. Peppermint Butler is likely more intelligent and able than he lets those around him see. Peppermint Butler is a trusted member of Candy Kingdom society, but evidence suggests that there is more to him than meets the eye. Though an adult, Peppermint Butler can occasionally be childish and immature this is seen in Peppermint Butler's squabble with Chet over who got to be the grill-master in " The Real You." Peppermint Butler is generally portrayed as a happy, even-tempered, and carefree person, as shown by his interactions with the Candy People in " Slumber Party Panic." An ever-diligent worker, Peppermint Butler serves Princess Bubblegum, as well as the Candy Kingdom, in various ways these include carrying Princess Bubblegum, working as a jailer, and serving as a castle chef (seen in " Ricardio the Heart Guy," " The Duke," " The Real You" and " Too Young" respectively). After becoming subjected to Gumbald's Dum Dum Juice in " Gumbaldia" Peppermint Butler is transformed into a smaller, naked, baby-like peppermint, though he is back to his previous self in " Together Again" implying that he either aged back to his original self since the episode is set years in the future, or the affects of the juice were reversed in some way. His shoes, gloves, and bow-tie are red, matching his red stripes. He wears the traditional tailcoat of a butler but opts for the less traditional blue version of the outfit. This may give Adventure Time a reason to finally reveal how Peppermint Butler met Death, or how he became so involved with the dark ways.īut it can also go a long way to establish why and how Peppermint Butler remained so loyal to Princess Bubblegum, especially after he gained the kind of powers that would normally end up with him targeted by heroes like Finn and Jake, and show us why he's a good guy after all.Peppermint Butler, as his name suggests, is a peppermint candy. Audiences were never shown the origin of Peppermint Butler's obsession with the occult, or what he did to become so demonically gifted. He's even referred to as the "Dark One" by the Candy Kingdom's massive Gumball Guardians, hinting at how deep his eldritch impulses go, and that makes him a suspicious figure. The Distant Lands description mentions his checkered past, hinting that fans will finally get to see more of his actions outside of helping Princess Bubblegum. When series of mysterious incidents plague the school, suspicion turns to Pep, because of his history.
