Bo Cleevil

"We are connected.

[The Ever After is] Earth's shadow,

Like the negative of a photograph.

But one day

Earth will be my shadow.

I'll be very popular.

And I'll never be alone..."

Overview
Evil Bo Cleevil was an illegitimate ruler of the Ever After. Nothing is known about his early life, but he is described as "Older than old", a phrase that implies he existed before the current physical laws of the Ever After were set in place.[1][2][3]He is able to turn certain spirits to ash, telekinetically restrain Live Ones, and create vortices of wind using his hands.[][][] He came to power through the realm's real estate market, assembled an army of ghouls and goblins to kidnap other spirits, and built South Place with the wealth he had amassed.[4]As ruler of the Ever After, Bo Cleevil enacted a realwide ban on Live Ones and most animals, threatening to send the Bogey (aka the boogie man) after them in order to 'turn them into nothing' or to have them torn apart by the Bogey's dogs (which were exempted from the ban).[5][6][7]At the height of his power, Bo Cleevil held prisoner the vast majority of the population and was actively opposed by approximately 20 Live Ones and 30 spirits out of the Ever After's estimated 25,658,159,183 inhabitants.[8][9][10]His reign ended after the aforementioned Live Ones and spirits (including May Bird) that opposed his policies invaded his fortress and inspired a massive but unsuccessful slave revolt.[11] May Bird went to the room in which Bo Cleevil stood,undefinedand he nearly forced her to cross the Bridge of Souls. At this moment, Pumpkin tackled him and they both rolled across the Bridge together, turning themselves into literal night-sky stars in the process.[12]

Personality
Bo Cleevil has an insatiable lust for power and physical treasures. Rather than  simple materialism, his primary motivation for becoming wealthy and stealing the world wonders of the Ever After was to escape his 'emptiness' and extreme loneliness. He is most likely a minimalist at heart keeping only 'an elaborately set table, a shiny apple on a plate, and a book' in the room where he spends most of his time. Although Bo Cleevil demonstrates a complete lack of empathy, he is fascinated by May Bird's personality and does not immediately attempt to destroy her on sight when the opportunity arises, even telling her that "" despite the Book of the Dead stating that May Bird would be "known far and wide…" His nickname for May Bird is 'little speck' Arista describes him as very dishonest, while Cleevil describes himself as 'paranoid' and 'empty'. Cleevil is characterized as a solitary and painfully lonely spirit in the later half of the trilogy.

Physical Appearance
There are several conflicting pieces of narration regarding Bo Cleevil's appearance. He wears a trench coat and a hat, pulled down low, so you can only see his two glowing red eyes.
