This drastic change in appearance for both characters is explained in-universe as a "two-for-one" plastic surgery. In the chapter Tomb It May Concern, Papa IV is presented with a brand new mask made by Andrew Freeman, alongside with Sister Imperator who is played by a new actor. All his outfits so far have been designed by B.
His minimal facepaint is now gone in place of the more extensive and "traditional" skull facepaint of the Papas before him, and he has now earned a new blue chasuble and mitre, along with a black cope (an ornamented liturgical cape). Once anointed Papa Emeritus IV, his appearance changed yet again. Occasionally, he wears a cape alongside his black dressed down outfit. Ĭopia has several outfits: He has a cassock and accompanying biretta that comes in both black and red variants, a black and red dressed down outfit, and a similar white tuxedo that comes with a hat. He has also been stated as being "the more limber of all of ". This denoted his junior status and that he was yet to "deserve his skull paint". His face paint, unlike previous frontmen of the band, was minimal, only covering his eyes.
His first official appearance featured him in a black Cardinal outfit with an accompanying hat. His mask has medium-length dark brown hair, usually combed back (although initially combed to the side) and prominent sideburns, alongside a pencil mustache. Some fans have speculated that his mask in particular is inspired by the face of late American actor Vincent Price due to their similarities, although Tobias himself has said Copia is a "mix of Dracula and Jacques Clouseau". Like the Papas before him, Cardinal Copia is played by Tobias Forge wearing a custom-made mask by Jerry Constantine. As such, his appearances have changed a considerable amount between the two cycles. Papa IV is notable for being the first (and currently only) Papa to be frontman for more than one studio album, starting with Prequelle and currently with IMPERA.
