Lionwhyte

Lionwhyte is leader of the human servants of Emperor Doviculus and a villain from the video game, Brütal Legend.

History
After the demons made the humans their slaves, Lionwhyte became Doviculus's servant and was allowed to create a human settlement for himself and those loyal to him, the Pleasure Dome. So as to insure that the residents of Bladehenge did not rise against him or Doviculus, Lionwhyte made the women slaves in his Pleasure Dome and the men forced labor in his mines.

After Eddie Riggs arrived in the heavy metal past that the game takes place in and began to lead the humans in rebellion, Lionwhyte came to confront the rebels. He then sent his troops to attack Bladehenge, but Eddie and the others won the battle. After this, the new army of Ironheade began a siege on Lionwhyte's Pleasure Tower. When they were successful in breaching the outer walls, Lionwhyte fired the Bouncers there. However this was not a wise desicion on the general's part, since they then joined the forces of Ironheade. Lionwhyte later attempted to convince them to rejoin him, but refused. The general battled the forces of Ironheade, but lost and was eventually killed by the giant mirror from a statue of himself. Lionwhyte attempted to shatter the mirror with his singing attack as it fell on him, only for the shards to impale him.

Powers
Lionwhyte is able to fly using his hair because it is so lucious and large. He wields a combined microphone and mace in battle that he can sing high-pitched screeches into to harm his foes if they're within 10 feet of him. He can also use it to summon lighting.

Trivia

 * Lionwhyte's speech that he makes to the Ironheade warriors is reminiscent of, and probably a parody of, the speech given by Dr. Wallace in Half-Life 2.
 * Lionwhyte and his Hair Metal Militia are based on glam metal bands and his name is a possible reference to a glam rock band from the 80's, "White Lion".


 * Lionwhyte's voice actor is Rob Halford of Judas Priest.


 * He resembles David Bowie, a pop singer.


 * Lionwhyte may be alive, since when Eddie talks to one of the Ironheade soldiers, one of the Razor Girls, he mentions Lionwhyte's death. However they respond by saying, "How do you know, did you see the body?"
