Lord Arktivus Brevon, or better known as Lord Brevon, is the main antagonist of the 2014 indie video game Freedom Planet and the arch-enemy of both Sash Lilac and Torque. He is an intergalactic warlord who crash-lands on the planet Avalice after an intense battle. His goal is to drain the life out of the planet in order to rebuild his spaceship and continue his dreams of galactic conquest.
He was voiced by Alexander Barriga.
Biography[]
In the game's intro, after his spaceship crash-landed on the peaceful planet Avalice, Lord Arktivus Brevon ruthlessly murders the king of the city of Shuigang in front of his son, Prince Dail. The Prince is traumatized and tries to fight back, but Brevon is able to easily get him into a choke-hold. He then brainwashes him using his invention, Syntax. By using the brainwashed Prince, he is able to recruit the entire army of Shuigang in starting a war against the other kingdoms of Avalice.
He remains unseen for a while after this; however, his presence is still very clear as his troops attempt to steal the Kingdom Stone. This is shown after a "Chaser" named Torque lands on the planet and gets the game's protagonists Lilac, Carol, and later Milla to help him keep the Kingdom Stone away from Brevon.
About midway through the game's plot, Lilac is kidnapped by Brevon and is brutally tortured by him via electrocution. He also cuts off what little of her fur is not already burnt. This was all done in front of Torque in order to get information. It is also stated that Brevon has killed and corrupted thousands of the "heroes" who try to stand up to him.
Brevon soon attempts to start the war, but the three kingdoms unite against him. Lilac, Carol, and Milla enter Brevon's starship. Brevon sends all of his troops at them. He also actively tries to kill the protagonists, with him even cutting all oxygen from the ship. He even mutates his own loyal general Serpentine and Milla to a disturbing extent and forces Lilac and Carol to fight Them.
Before fighting Brevon, Lilac shouts at him that she will never forgive him. Brevon disregards this, saying that he does not want forgiveness from someone who puts his planet at risk for the Kingdom Stone, which he describes as an "oversized battery".
Brevon is soon defeated and severely beaten up by Lilac. However, Brevon survives and escapes the encounter, but almost all of his troops are dead and his battleship was destroyed leaving him defeated and less of a threat. His survival could potentially lead to his return.
Appearance[]
Lord Brevon is a tall green alien warlord with a large brownish-orange eyebrow-like hair, wearing a metallic armor complete with a dark brown cape donned with 2 gold emerald gems.
Personality[]
Lord Brevon has a very intimidating presence due to his large appearance and deep voice. He is a sadist who is willing to do whatever it takes to get information, including murder, torture, and manipulation.
He is extraordinarily strong; one swing from his knife has been shown to kill most people instantly on touch, and in his boss fight, it takes away the majority of a character's health.
Brevon claims his actions are justified and that stealing the Kingdom Stone is for the sake of the survival of his own planet, whether or not this is true is unknown but his actions speaks louder than his own words due to his cruel and dishonorable nature either way.
Trivia[]
- Brevon's boss fight is infamously difficult; so much that the game's creators toned down the difficulty and put the other version in Hard, the hardest difficulty in Freedom Planet. The fight has been compared to the boss fight against Mike Tyson in the video game Punch-Out!!.
- Even though Brevon survived the Dreadnought exploding, he isn't making an appearance in Freedom Planet 2 but in some unused dialogue in the first he claimed that he will be back if Avalice survived "every terrible thing in the galaxy".
- He is inspired by General Roth'h'ar Sarris, the main antagonist of the 1999 movie Galaxy Quest.
- His unibrow is inspired by the mad genius Dr. Eggman's iconic mustache from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, while his head shape is similar to that of Dr. Nefarious Tropy from the Crash Bandicoot franchise.
- Personality-wise, his cruelty and ruthlessness parallels that to Sigma and Dr. Weil, the main antagonists from Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero respectively.
- Originally, he was referred to as Dr. Brevon according to Strife.
