Arktiuvs Brevon (アルクティウヴス・ブレヴォン), better known as Lord Brevon, is the main antagonist of Freedom Planet.
He is an intergalactic warlord with a thirst for conquest and destruction, making him the sworn enemy of the Coalition of Planets, who responds by deploying the Spectrum Chasers. After crash-landing on the planet Avalice, Brevon executes a plan to turn the planet's Three Kingdoms against each other, while he steals the Kingdom Stone to power his Dreadnought, so he and his army can escape the planet and continue his galactic conquest. However, Brevon's plans were foiled by Team Lilac, and the Dreadnought, along with most of his army, were destroyed while he fled the planet aboard his personal ship, the Absolution.
Lord Brevon is absent from the sequel Freedom Planet 2, but retains something of an overarching antagonistic role. Despite his absence, his influence can still be felt, taking the form of his remnant forces led by Serpentine and Syntax as they plot to escape Avalice and reunite with Brevon, all while Merga seeks vengeance upon the earth dragons and the Avalicians by awakening Bakunawa.
Appearance[]
Lord Brevon is a large, male green alien with blood red eyes, a large, brownish-orange unibrow and a height that surpasses even the tallest Avalician. He wears orange and metallic grey armor and a brown cape that likely marks his status as a warlord.
Arsenal[]
Brevon's main arsenal consists of a dual-barreled pistol, timed mines and a knife coated with a toxin that is likely used to brainwash and possibly mutate those who get infected. He can also use his cape as a means of combat and flight.
Personality[]
Brevon is a cruel and sadistic individual who is perfectly willing to go as far as possible to get what he wants, even using his preferred method of beheading people as a way of dealing with them. He claims his actions to be justified, stating that he's trying to protect his homeworld by eliminating potential threats, when in fact Torque remarks that his constant warmongering has made his own people suffer in the first place. Despite his threatening nature, he can be very nonchalant and tends to sound casual and friendly whenever he speaks. Brevon's cruelty knows no bounds, and he'll do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if he has to resort to harming innocent children like Milla, whom he turned into a mutant monster in order to stop Lilac & Carol from removing the Kingdom Stone from the Dreadnought's power core. He also claims to have no use for forgiveness from anybody who puts his homeworld at risk.
Relationships[]

Regardless, they have learned how to exploit your tactics. You won't be pursuing them again without backup.
- Lord Brevon, ordering Serpentine not to pursue Team Lilac alone (unused) Serpentine Serpentine serves Brevon as his top general and hunter with unquestioned loyalty. Even when he is marooned on Avalice in the 3 years after the defeated Brevon flees the planet, Serpentine remains faithful to his master and leads his remnant army as he plots to escape Avalice and reunite with him. |

Prepare the snatcher.
- Lord Brevon, upon capturing Prince Dail Syntax Syntax serves Brevon as his strategic advisor and a defense drone for his facilities. Even when she is marooned on Avalice after Brevon flees the planet, Syntax continues to serve her master by assisting Serpentine in his plans to escape Avalice and reunite with him, culminating in her takeover of Bakunawa via Code Black, and transforming into Bakunawa Fusion. |

Don't be a fool. You've seen how far I'll go to get the information I need.
- Lord Brevon, interrogating Torque by threatening Lilac Torque Brevon has an antagonistic affiliation with Torque, as he does with every other Chaser who stands in his way of galactic conquest. He notices that he can easily crack, as shown when he tortured Lilac via electrocution, forcing Torque to admit that he was the last remaining Chaser. |

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, impressed by Lilac's determination, despite her injuries Sash Lilac When Brevon first met Lilac, he saw her as a fool for challenging him. However, during her torture, he grew curious about her, about that, despite the pain she's in, her spirit remained unbroken, still determined to stand against him. Ultimately, Brevon made the mistake of underestimating Lilac, resulting in his defeat at the dragon girl's hands. |
 |
My actions have hurt people? I had no idea. I'm dreadfully sorry.
- Lord Brevon, sarcastically apologizing for his actions Carol Tea Brevon saw Carol as an enemy when she and her friends allied with the Chasers and stood against him. Ultimately, he made the mistake of underestimating Carol, resulting in his defeat. |

Rrrngh! You've pestered me long enough!
- Lord Brevon, irritated by being beaten back by Milla Milla Basset The history between Brevon and Milla is a mystery, with full details remaining vague. During the events of Freedom Planet, he used her as a weapon against Lilac & Carol by turning her into a mutant monster, an act that would only enrage the two and he would be defeated by them soon after. Years later, during the events of Freedom Planet 2, Milla learned from Serpentine that she is a war-dog meant to serve Brevon, just like her parents. |
