Apparently the old Pious thread got closed so here is a new one.
Pious is from the Nintendo Gamecube exclusive Eternal Darkness, Nintendo's first first party M rated game. He is the second character you play as in the game as well as the main antagonist.
Pious was originally a Roman soldier in 26 BC and after finishing a battle wandered into a cave where he was corrupted by one of three beings Ulyaoth, Chattur'gha, or Xel'lotath ( depending on the choice of the player.). He then became a servant for whichever being he chose.
Pros
Could have a unique moveset
Represents a unique Nintendo IP
Looks really cool.
Could be toned down to be E10
Is more central to the game than the main hero.
Cons
Nintendo needs to use the Eternal Darkness trademark soon or risk losing it
His appearance could raise the rating, but it could be toned down.
He's not the main hero and the main hero isn't in Smash yet
Eternal Darkness' only representation in smash thus far is a reference in the chronicle in brawl.
The cons are minor and Nintendo could keep the trademark by making Pious playable in smash Win WIN!
This fanart also shows that Pious' appearance can be toned down

Moveset
To go with the E 10 rating Pious would need to get his bone staff ( and look) toned down to E 10 quality. ( At least no more violent than Andross' brain) He would be a slow powerful character that fights mainly with his staff.
