Biography[]

History[]

Cassandra was taught guitar in the 1660s by Angelo Bartolotti.

Dark Days[]

Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkryie Cain, upon hearing about rumours circulating the magical community about Darquesse, a sorcerer predicted to purportedly destroy the world, decide to visit Cassandra Pharos. Finbar Wrong, another Sensitive with visions of Darquesse, refers Skulduggery and Valkyrie to Cassandra, as he feels that she will be able to provide better results.

Skulduggery, Valkyrie, and Finbar visit Cassandra at her home. When Skulduggery compliments her, Cassandra, in an act of modesty, states that Skulduggery is lying and that she really looks awful. However, she is still grateful for the compliment, stating that she doesn't care if it was a lie. She then states that she is a Sensitive who requires more effort for less results. Due to this, Cassandra utilizes various tools to assist her visions in gaining more clarity.

Cassandra then shows Skulduggery, Valkyrie, and Finbar a vision of Darquesse. She uses a special tool called a Steam Chamber which manifests her visions into steam/smoke form, allowing for easier viewing by others. She commences her vision, which shows Darquesse destroying the world and killing Valkyrie's parents. She also gives Valkyrie a Dream Whisperer which later reveals Valkyrie as Darquesse.

Kingdom Of The Wicked[]

Cassandra is briefly seen working with several other Sensitives to build a psychic block in the mind of Argeddion, implanting a new identity in him, and thus eliminating the threat he posed to the world.

Theatre of Shadows[]

She contacts Tipstaff and tells him that she can communicate with Skulduggery and Valkyrie but that she is very weak because the runes are blurring his vision so only one question may be asked.

Last Stand Of Dead Men[]

Cassandra is briefly seen summoning Skulduggery and Valkyrie to her house, in order to give them an updated version of the vision they viewed in Dark Days. The vision contains several more apparitions, including Erskine Ravel in pain, Ghastly Bespoke and Tanith Low kissing, and Valkyrie's parents and sister dying to Darquesse. While the visions are seemingly deemed false with the deaths of Ghastly and Anton Shudder, the prediction of Ravel in pain does come true which indicates that the other visions may come true after all.

After her updated vision, Cassandra senses a group of men surrounding the house. They are agents of the Supreme Council who have been sent to kill Skulduggery and Valkryie. The two leave her house to dispatch the agents and Cassandra is not seen after this.

The Dying of the Light[]

She shows Skulduggery and Stephanie the future. She later talks with them about Finbar's dream.

The Night of Knives[]

Cassandra, like Finbar, is killed in the Night of Knives.

Magic[]

Cassandra is unlike other Sensitives. Her abilites require more effort for less results. She sometimes gets glimpses during meditation, which come into her head without warning or in her dreams. Because of this, she has objects to help her, such as the Steam Chamber, which manifests her visions into physical steam.
