Chance Perdomo, who rose to fame as a star of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Gen V, has died at age 27 following a motorcycle crash.
“On behalf of the family and his representatives, it is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident,” a publicist said in a statement issued on Saturday, March 30 evening. The statement also said no one else was involved in the crash.
Perdomo’s character in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was a cousin to Sabrina Spellman and a powerful, pansexual warlock who specialized in necromancy and was initially under house arrest. He often served as a sort of voice of reason on the show, which wrapped in 2020. He starred alongside Kiernan Shipka, Miranda Otto, Tati Gabrielle, Ross Lynch, and, again, Sinclair.
Exploring Chance Perdomo's character in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
One of Chance Perdomo’s most famous roles was as Ambrose Spellman, a lead character on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The four-season show was a far cry from the Melissa Joan Hart-fronted, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the Netflix show set its Archie Comics characters a town over from the titular location of Aguirre-Sacasa’s Riverdale, and employed a more spooky and salacious tone than its forerunner.
Ambrose Spellman is a warlock who resides in the town of Greendale, located on the opposite side of the Sweetwater River from Riverdale. Due to a binding spell, he had been trapped in Spellman Mortuary for 75 years until being released by Father Blackwood.
Ambrose, an old warlock, moved to various universities after his father was killed by witch hunters. At 17, he published his first poetry collection. In the late 19th century, he met Aleister Crowley and became one of his followers. Ambrose and his accomplices attempted to blow up the Vatican but were arrested.
Ambrose was offered incolumnity in exchange for their names but refused. He was confined to the Spellman Mortuary with a binding spell. He worked as a mortician, coping with depression and loneliness with humor and family affection.
Ambrose is a witty man who is always ready to assist and advise Sabrina in her teenage witch dramas. Although Ambrose enjoys taking part in hexing people or indulging his own lust with other witches of both sexes, he is also a learned witch who has personally experienced the price to pay for breaking Witch Law.
Ambrose's knowledge of witchcraft spans many occult disciplines and practices, including exorcisms and necromancy. Because he is confined to the home, Ambrose has slowly developed a form of depression fueled by a sense of loneliness and isolation that has become clear during the attack of Batibat, a sleep demon, at the Spellman house.
The appearance and powers of Ambrose Spellman
Ambrose is an old British witch of African descent. Despite his age, he appears as a muscular young man in his twenties. Because he is trapped in the house by a curse, Ambrose is more often than not barefoot and wearing trousers and a silk robe on a bare chest.
When working in the embalming chamber, Ambrose wears goggles, rubber gloves, and an apron to protect himself from blood and other fluids while working on corpses. In the rare occasions when Ambrose left the house, he wore a velvet blazer, shirt, pants, and Chelsea boots.
Following are the powers and abilities of Ambrose Spellman;
- Spell Casting: The power to change and control events through the use of incantations, commands, or even gestures.
- Necromancy: The power to control, manipulate, and resurrect the dead.
- Astral Projection: The power to project their astral form from their body, essentially becoming a ghost.
