| ~ Scarlemagne's past. |
When he was not yet known as Hugo, Scarlemagne was a kind and naive person who loved to play the piano and sing while being mesmerized by the abandoned concept of monarchy. He was, however, very fearful of hostility, like when he was being force-tested or when he had to fight for the first time in his life. After Lio Oak was eventually abandoned, Hugo took a darker path that led him to become the tyrant Scarlemagne.
Ten years after sinking into resentment and hatred for humanity, Scarlemagne had grown far more ruthless, chaotic, angry, resentful, power hungry and seemingly insane. Due to his fascination with the monarchy, the mandrill behaved with a polite and refined air in the presence of his subjects even though that was not who he really was. He also despised the human species, probably because of his past and had developed a deep resentment towards his adoptive father, also disgusting his birth name that he could not bear to hear spoken.
His megalomania eventually made him want to take full control of not only the entire human race but also all mutant animals, which was the reason he was feared so much.
After his defeat and his imprisonment, Thanks to Kipo, Scarlemagne slowly began to feel remorse for these previous acts and ended up redeeming himself not hesitating to sacrifice his life to save his adopted sister and then to choose to die like Hugo and not Scarlemagne.
