Background

Pit (ピット) is the main character and protagonist of Kid Icarus. He is Palutena's most loyal servant and leader of her royal bodyguard, the Icarus army. During the first game, Palutena was locked away in Skyworld temple by Medusa during a war between the Underworld army and the Icarus army, which resulted in an easy victory for the Underworld due to a surprise attack, leaving Pit the last remaining angel and the only one capable of saving Palutena by retrieving the Three Sacred Treasures. After successfully acquiring them, Pit defeats Medusa and saves Palutena, returning peace to Angel Land.

Some time after the war between the two goddesses, Palutena has a horrid dream of demonic beings known as the Orcos that plan to bring chaos to Angel Land. After learning of this, Palutena tasks Pit to traverse through the Underworld, Overworld, and Skyworld to once again earn the power of the Three Sacred Treasures to become Amazing Pit and defeat the ominous Orcos for good.

Roughly twenty-five years later, the events of the most recent title, Kid Icarus Uprising, lead to another war between Palutena and Medusa, which reveals the true master of the Underworld and his plans to turn the souls of all living things into an undead army of Underworld troops. This leads to many events during the war, such as an alien invasion in which all gods must come together to fight them off, the Chaos Kin's espace which leads to a three-year time skip, the creation of Dark Pit from the Mirror of Truth's destruction, and even Pit receiving his most powerful weapon, the Great Sacred Treasure, which he uses to defeat Hades, end the war, and bring peace to the universe for supposedly another twenty-five years until Hades returns.

Standard Equipment: Blades, Staffs, Claws, Bows, Palms, Clubs, Cannons, Orbitars, Arms, Various Healing Items, Blessings, Protective Crystals, and The Sacred Treasures

Intelligence: At least Genius, likely Higher in combat thanks to having mastered several weapon classes after just using them and leading Palutena's army through several wars over the decades. Possibly has been fighting for eons.

Standard Tactics: Pit resorts to using his longbow and flaming arrows along with his protective crystals to punish up-close combat | Pit typically starts the fight flying around and attacking his foes from a far. Afterwards, he'll land and use his main weaponry at a closer distance | Pit with his Sacred Treasures fight souley in the air and typically bombards his foes with numerous projectiles of all sorts

Weaknesses: If he uses too much of Palutena's Blessings (I.e Power of Flight) his wings will burn up, causing him to die beyond typical resurrection. Very reliant on Palutena for advice, equipment, and guidance. | Same with the Sacred Treasures minus the flight limitations due to having unrestricted flight

Key: Pre-Uprising | Post-Uprising | Post-Timeskip | Three Sacred Treasures | Great Sacred Treasure

Note: Due to Sakurai being the prime developer for both Kid Icarus Uprising and Super Smash Bros., we can take Pit and co's abilities and dialogue as a secondary canon for Kid Icarus's lore since Palutena's guidance stays relative to Kid Icarus's story and even further fleshed it out.

Note 2: Pit grows in power between his first two games and Uprising to the point Hades notes Pit from his early years would have never made it as far as he did and Pit mentions him and Palutena being rookies during the events of the first game.
