“ | He (Proctor Jupiter) is like any other petty tyrant of history. A slave to his own whims. A master of nothing but selfishness. He is the Society—a monster dripping in decadence, yet seeing none of his own hypocrisy. He views all this wealth, all this power, as his right. He is deluded. | ” |
— Darrow, Red Rising, Ch. 42: War on Heaven

During the assault on Olympus, Darrow sees Proctor Jupiter carrying a pulseShaft and razor, fully armored alongside Proctor Minerva as they decimate Darrow's forces through the hallways. The two Proctors knock down students left and right, causing Darrow's forces to scamper over each other to retreat. Jupiter laughs at the swords and spears the students carry but Darrow steps forward wearing the slain Proctor Apollo's recoilArmor and pulseFist. Darrow flies towards Jupiter and the two slam together, sending them away from Minerva. A thrilling duel as they hack and slash each other through Olympus and Darrow bodies Jupiter out a window and they fall into the snowbank 100 feet below. They roll down the mountain side and are obscured from each other in the clouds. The two insult each other, their voices sounding as if underwater. Finally the clouds split and day breaks, revealing the Proctor's location. Darrow then gives a cloaked Sevro the signal who slashes Jupiter's tendons, silencing him.
