Villain Spotlight: Lord Doviculus.


One might suspect a case of Luke I am your Father with this fellow and half demon Brutal Legend protagonist Eddie Riggs, but alas, it's more of a case of, 'I thought your Mum was Hot.' Nevertheless, Doviculus still has a strong connection to the warrior/roadie.

Clad in SNM and wielding a massive pointed stick, Doviculus rules the vile and controlling Tainted Coil and controls virtually all of that most awesomley rocking world. While he is more likley to send down his minions to do his dirt work, occasionally he'll step down and do things himself, which spectacularly brutal results. The first indication that he's a great villain? As the heroic band/army of Ironheade celebrate their victory against General Lyonwhite, Doviculus arrives with none of his minions, intimidates everyone by talking, murders their leader, and with a bored snap of his fingers summons a massive army of murderous Eldritch beasts to rip the area to shreds. His speech also inturn creates another overlord, Drowned Opehelia, who not only creates horrific turmoil for the heroes, but robs them of a powerful ally. Oh, and conquers a lot of the world. With zombies.

Also, did I mention that he carries a six necked guitar in his chest? No? Slipped my mind.

Doviculus was voiced by none other than Tim Curry AKA the only guy who could pull this off with this level of awesome.
