Lord Brevon

"Before you decided to throw your life away and interfere in our mission, you should have asked yourself one very important question... What makes you so special?"

- Lord Brevon

"That's nice to know, but I was more interested in your resolve. You crack easily, it seems. And this one... I have a funny feeling about you. I'll bet I could hack at your limbs all day and you'd still find a way to bite back."

- Lord Brevon, during the infamous torture scene.

"Lilac: I'll never forgive you! Lord Brevon: I have no use for forgiveness, especially from someone who puts my homeworld at risk for an oversized battery. I offer you one final chance. Leave! Now! (Lilac doesn't leave.) Lord Brevon: So be it."

- Lord Brevon to Lilac before the first phase of his battle.

Lord Arktivus Brevon is the main antagonist of the 2014 indie video game Freedom Planet. 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 3 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
"Well, he didn't get that name selling cookies. He's dangerous with a capital D. Brevon is the most powerful enemy we've ever faced. Hundreds of worlds destroyed, thousands of heroes killed or corrupted, enormous amounts of weapon energy stolen... and that's just the tip of the iceberg."

- Torque about Lord Brevon. 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.

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!.
 * Despite the fact that he survived, Lord Brevon will not return in Freedom Planet 2.
 * 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. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik's iconic mustache from the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame franchise.
