The Prefects are the major antagonists in the 2006 video game Bully.
They consist of four senior students at Bullworth Academy, and are the lowest level of authority in the game, being responsible for general enforcement of the rules on campus. They are not merely staff substitutes, but aggressive agents of control who channel their personal desire for dominance and power into the official mandate of maintaining order. As the first and most accessible line of authority on campus, their primary function is general rule enforcement, but their zeal ensures this duty is executed with an unrelenting harshness that far exceeds true justice, establishing them as an oppressive force in the school hierarchy.
Biography[]
Prefects' main duty is to enforce law at the Bullworth campus, and bust students who violate the rules, punishing them with detention tasks. All four of them are easily spotted on campus due to their relatively large stature (excluding Karl) and their navy blue suit jackets. They patrol the school grounds, the school itself, the library, and sometimes the gym; and will always be present on campus no matter what time of the day it is, carrying flashlights after dark.
They play an essential role during freeroam, chasing Jimmy if he violates rules at campus. They have brute strength, being the strongest people of the game, and hard to defeat generally. While they are not friendly towards Jimmy or any students, it is possible for Jimmy to get a friendly response from them if he is wearing the Orderly Uniform and a respectable haircut. If they bust Jimmy for his rule violations, they punishing him with detention tasks. On winter, they task Jimmy with shoveling snows, and lawn mowing on other seasons. Seth Kolbe acts as the supervisor of detention.
Although they are tasked to enforce laws, they are corrupt officials to an extent, as they sometimes abuse their positions just to beat students for no reason but out of joy.
While their biggest role is during freeroam, they also take a few supporting roles in storyline, the most significant being during Chapter 5, where Seth and Max tackle Jimmy and take his slingshot during the school-wide riot. Before he can do anything else, they are chased off by an angry Russell Northrop.
Hierarchy[]
While the Prefects have no clear hierarchy, Seth is the presumed leader, as he is in charge of overseeing detention, has the largest role of the four, and is the toughest of them. Also, Max is the second-in-command according to data files, being very mildly backed up by his role in Complete Mayhem, where he accompanies Seth as Seth confiscates Jimmy's slingshot.
Membership[]
- Seth Kolbe (presumed leader, and the biggest prefect)
- Max MacTavish (presumed second-in-command)
- Edward Seymour II

Trivia[]
- While the game data files state that Karl is the leader, there is nothing indicates that in the game itself, as Seth takes a larger role instead.
