Mevolent was an Elemental. He was one of the few that turned evil. His mastery over the elements was unprecedented, and he had equal skill with all of them. He demonstrated his mastery over air by expanding the air in Darquesse's throat, causing it to burst and also the ability of flight.
Due to the fact that his underlings included Nefarian Serpine, Baron Vengeous and the immensely powerful Lord Vile, Mevolent is assumed to be a sorcerer of unimaginable strength. When she sees his magic, Darquesse claims that, apart from Argeddion and herself, he is most likely the most powerful sorcerer in existence. It is likely that if Mevolent was to discover his true name he would surpass both Darquesse and Argeddion, likely being capable of taking multiple Faceless One's head on.
During his battle with Darquesse, Mevolent shows incredible speed - moving at high speed to go to one place and back almost instantly - and strength - strong enough to lift a large slab of concrete, and rip off Darquesse's head -, fighting techniques and sword mastery. As an Elemental, Mevolent should possess no healing ability, yet was able to regenerate and continue fighting after having his bones crushed by Darquesse, showing that his decision to die once a day has some tangible benefits. Although he did not possess the power of knowing his True Name, Mevolent managed to fight on-par with, and even briefly take an advantage over, Darquesse for the majority of the battle, decapitating her and causing other serious injury, Mevolent would have in fact won had he decided to destroy Darquesse's head instead of leaving it on the ground.
