He was then engaged to take charge of the music in the First Congregational Church of Chicago. After three years, he resigned to enter the field as singing evangelist with Major Whittle. Mr. Moody,who was at this time in Scotland (in the winter of 1873–1874), wrote a number of letters to Mr. Bliss, urging him to drop everything else and sing the Gospel. He also wrote many letters to Major Whittle, urging that they two should go together and hold meetings. They finally concluded to try a meeting or two, letting the results help them to decide. The first meeting was held in Waukegan, Ill., March 24th–26th. The meeting was a memorable one. Major Whittle says concerning it: “We returned to Chicago praisingGod; Bliss to find substitutes for his conventions, and I to resign my business position.” Prof. F.W. Root, in speaking of Mr. Bliss, says: “If ever a man seemed fashioned by the Divine hand for special and exalted work, that man was P. P. Bliss. He had a splendid physique, a handsome face, and a dignified, striking presence. . . . He had not had opportunities for large intellectual culture, but his natural mental gifts were wonderful. His faculty for seizing upon the salient features of whatever came under his notice amounted to an unerring instinct. The one kernel of wheat in a bushel of chaff was the first thing he saw. Examine the work which really enlisted his whole soul, and you will see nothing but keen discernment, rare taste, and great verbal facility. His gospel hymns contain no pointless verses, awkward rhythms or forced rhymes, but, on the contrary, they glow with all that gives life to such composition. He also had a natural instinct for melody. Mr. Bliss’ voice was always a marvel to me. He used occasionally to come to my room, requesting that I would look into his vocalization with a view to suggestions. At first a few suggestions were made, but latterly I could do nothing but admire. Beginning with D-flat below (F-clef), he would, without apparent effort, produce a series of clarion tones, in an ascending series, until having reached G space above (C-clef) with pure tone.” His illustrations are nicely done, showing tolkien's skill as a (physically) visionary and not just a literary artist. His style is definitely all his own. Overall, a nicely down story for Children, written by the master of fantasy, J. R. R. Tolkien.

Serpine is best known for his skinless red right hand, however, which uses a Necromantic technique to kill any living or undead creature through agonising pain, simply by pointing at them. Visually, this takes the appearance of red vapour. The only known survivor of this is Skulduggery Pleasant, and this is only due to Auron Tenebrae influencing Serpine's magic to guarantee Skulduggery's survival. The Serpine of the Leibniz Universe refines this technique further, so that it also strips the flesh from the part of the victim that he points at. The red right hand is limited, however, in that its victims must be within range.

Due to the Journal Entry for Season 3, it's possible that Mr. Bliss is canon as it likely talks about him. Serpine is also a collector of magic, which he is able to accumulate in his red right hand through unknown means. By 2007, Serpine is capable of neutralising bullets with a wave, creating and manipulating tendrils of purple vapour, causing metal to rust with a touch, causing objects to expand and contract, and manipulating hand-like projections from walls. The Leibniz Universe version of Serpine never learns these abilities, however. The services is supported by a senior endocrine surgical fellow who works alongside the consultants for a period of one year. This allows the team to help train the next generation of outstanding endocrine surgeons. Our clinical fellow is often involved in research and quality improvement projects, and presents at regional, national and international conferences alongside other endocrine specialists from around the globe. Professor J.R.R. Tolkien invented and illustrated the book of Mr Bliss’s adventures for his own children when they were very young. The story is reproduced here exactly as he created it.
