What is Penance?

I know he is an optional boss, but where did he come from? Like Omega was a traitor monk that was banished, what's Penance's deal?

Rayman + Transformer= Penance.

Actually... I have no idea. He's some random and insanely powerful toy that appears out of nowhere just like that. :cool:

hes probly some kind of summon. the aeons are different to the dark ones , they are a cimpletely different fayth. because when you fight a summoner you cant summon the aeon they have but E.G. if you are fighting dark ifrit you can still summon ifrit. so id guess that penance is a combination of all the defeated dark aeons.

I think I remember reading that it is the emotions of the dark aeons or their summoners or both that combine and manifest itself into a physical form. I'm not sure though. I'm american.
