The show ended with the now baby Peppermint Butler living with Princess Bubblegum and Marceline, reading a book on the basics of Dark Arts. The story synopsis released for Adventure Time: Distant Lands reveals that one of the specials will be centered on Peppermint Butler, titled "Wizard City.
Apparently trying to reacquire the kind of power he previously had, the younger Peppermint Butler will attend Wizard School, another element introduced early in the first season. But the synopsis promises to tease out more about Peppermint Butler. When series of mysterious incidents plague the school, suspicion turns to Pep, because of his history.
The Distant Lands description mentions his checkered past, hinting that fans will finally get to see more of his actions outside of helping Princess Bubblegum. Audiences were never shown the origin of Peppermint Butler's obsession with the occult, or what he did to become so demonically gifted.
He's even referred to as the "Dark One" by the Candy Kingdom's massive Gumball Guardians, hinting at how deep his eldritch impulses go, and that makes him a suspicious figure. He also possesses impressive knowledge of the Land of the Dead, such as knowing not to drink the water. In "Mortal Recoil," Peppermint Butler shows he has some ability that can sense evil within another, as seen by him hissing like a cat when he realized that Princess Bubblegum was being possessed by The Lich.
In "Return to the Nightosphere," a picture can be seen displaying Peppermint Butler acting as a caddie while Marceline's Dad plays golf, furthering his connection to the Land of the Dead and now the Nightosphere.
He also seems to have control of dark magic when he summoned a demon into Cinnamon Bun in "The Suitor. Like a real peppermint candy, Peppermint Butler has minty, cooling abilities for those who eat any part of his body; this was seen when he cooled down the mouth of the Earl of Lemongrab after he consumed a hot potion.

Peppermint Butler seems to have a dark and secret past, as he has close ties with Death revealed in " Death in Bloom. Given that Finn and Jake still have their flesh, this may have only been a morbid joke. In " Return to the Nightosphere ," a picture is shown of Peppermint Butler golfing with Hunson Abadeer as a background gag.
In " You Made Me ," when Finn asks to see his aura, Peppermint Butler declines, sweating nervously, backing away, and replying with "you don't wanna see that. A Gumball Guardian seems to know that Peppermint Butler might have had a dark past, as seen in " The Suitor " when he went to his lair and called him "Dark One," not questioning the demon he had trapped.
It is revealed in " Nemesis " that he has an evil and vindictive side, even torturing Peace Master by turning his children into demon hybrids. Although Peppermint Butler does notice he has gone too far and allow Peace Master to leave, he does not turn his children back. This episode further displays his secretive side; Princess Bubblegum seems to be unaware of anything going on. Though the Gumball Guardian has called Peppermint Butler "Dark One," other candy citizens are either unaware of or accepting of Peppermint Butler's dark side.
In the miniseries Stakes , it is revealed that Peppermint Butler is quite knowledgeable about vampires and has a secret vampire hunting kit that he keeps just in case Marceline ever becomes a threat. When Marceline learns that in being cured of her vampirism, the vampires whose souls she absorbed in the past have revived, Peppermint Butler supplies Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, Finn, and Jake with various vampire hunting implements from his kit so that they can hunt down the revived Vampires.
In " May I Come In? As well, Peppermint Butler aids in the vampire's defeat by informing Jake of The Hierophant's inability to enter a house unless invited in, which gives Jake the idea to shapeshift into a house; the Hierophant dies when pushed through Jake's doorway by Crunchy , allowing Marceline to reclaim his shapeshifting powers.
In " Take Her Back ," Peppermint Butler kills The Moon by shoving a stake through her back and into her heart, which bypasses her self-regeneration and allows Marceline to reclaim her self-healing powers.

However, when Peppermint Butler finally does get a chance to meet the Vampire King, he is nervous and has trouble talking to him.
Fortunately, however, Vampire King reads Peppermint Butler's mind and uses his psychic powers to sign Peppermint Butler's book. After the Vampire King is cured of vampirism, Princess Bubblegum asks Peppermint Butler to carefully dispose of the vampire goo extracted from the Vampire King; however, an accident results in the creation of a Dark Cloud Monster that threatens the Land of Ooo.
In " The Dark Cloud ," as a result of the explosion that created the Dark Cloud, Peppermint Butler is broken into pieces; he survives this.

In " Gumbaldia ," after coming into contact with Gumbald's "dum dum" juice, Peppermint Butler reverted into a baby-like form similar to his appearance in " The Vault. During the final montage in " Come Along With Me ," he is shown reading a book on "Dark Magic ," suggesting he is either regaining his past memories or will repeat his previous interest in the dark arts. By the time of " Adventure Time: Distant Lands " special " Together Again " set decades after the events of the main series , Peppermint Butler's personality and appearance is back to how is was prior to "Gumbaldia" implying there was a way to reverse the affects of the Dum Dum juice , or he has naturally aged back to his original self.
Despite his numerous questionable activities, hobbies, connections, and powers, he is above all else an extremely loyal servent of the candy kingdom, specifically Princess Bubblegum.
He is her most trusted advisor and servant, and he has shown extreme protectiveness and care for her, such as in " Varmints ," where he both showed great concern for her potentially losing the throne to the King of Ooo, and when she left the candy kingdom he moved in with her at her cabin by lake butterscotch, acting as her servant, protector, and good friend. It is unknown why he has such undying loyalty for PB, given his numerous illegal activies.
