List of Metalocalypse characters

The following is a list of characters in the American animated television series Metalocalypse.

The Tribunal

In every episode, an Illuminati-style group of eight men are shown meeting together to discuss Dethklok's latest activities and the dangers they pose. In their first meeting, all they know is the information given in the show's theme song (word for word), but they learn much more through research on fansites and other resources. At the first meeting, they mention that Dethklok's lineup resembles figures in an ancient Sumerian prophecy. General Crozier states, "If they're the ones we think they are, I think we should exterminate them immediately," implying that there may be more to Dethklok than an insanely popular band with an appetite for destruction. This may or may not relate to the prophecy, as Ravenwood felt the need to remind the other members about it. The episode "The Metalocalypse Has Begun" suggests that the ultimate event in the prophecy is an "apocalypse of metal."

The group meets in a room dominated by nine television sets stacked in a three-by-three square, which usually functions as one big TV but will divide to illustrate various points. The screens show news reports, Dethklok footage, background profiles, and other useful information. The meeting room seems to be underground, as it has no windows and no visible doors. A section of the wall opens to allow people to enter and exit. There are also several adjoining rooms. On the wall is a logo depicting an eagle sitting on top of the world.

The groups's briefings are led by Senator Stampingston, who usually has experts speak based on whatever Dethklok is doing in the episode. The group has both military (General Crozier) and religious (Cardinal Ravenwood) leaders in its rank, among others. At its head is Mr. Selatcia, a gray-haired man who sits in a throne in the center. There are four other members, but none of them have been named and only one of them has spoken so far (requesting to go to the United States Pornography Awards, along with Stampingston, Crozier, and Ravenwood). Behind the sitting members of the Tribunal are monitors showing the faces of eight more men.

In the second season, the briefing room has been completely overhauled. Rather than the multi-screen setup they previously had, a single TV of equal size is used. The room is also circular in shape, and the logo is now placed on the font side of the briefing table. Finally, the seating arrangement is slightly different: Selatcia's throne is higher up, with the monitors for the other eight men attached to it, and two more members have been added to the main table, not including Ravenwood's replacement.

Senator Stampingston

Senator Stampingston

Senator Stampingston is the main speaker who reports on Dethklok's current activities. It is unknown what American state the senator represents, or whether he is just a past senator. He doesn't seem to have a seat, instead standing in front of the television sets. He has a diplomatic standpoint for the issues against Dethklok, often recommending espionage and other forms of information gathering. He keeps the most professional and calm attitude towards Dethklok; he knows they are a threat, but he never overreacts and he is rarely the one that comes up with ideas.

General Crozier

General Crozier

Sitting on the far left, General Crozier is an United States Army general. Mr. Selatcia stated that his job within the Tribunal was gathering information and nothing more, although Crozier is not happy with this. He brings a military viewpoint to the tribunal's dealings with Dethklok, and usually recommends military action, often in the form of assassination. However, Stampingston once pointed out that approximately half of the military are rabid Dethklok fans. Despite his desperation to destroy Dethklok, he usually has the most realistic predictions, sometimes questioning if certain things the band does are really that dangerous.

General Crozier goes against the Tribunal's wishes several times, first by sending an assassin to Mordhaus to eliminate Dethklok, and deploying an entire army to one of Dethklok's concerts to kill them in "The Metalocalypse Has Begun". He and Cardinal Ravenwood form an alliance in this endeavor. When Selatcia discovers this betrayal, he severely disfigures Ravenwood but only puts Crozier to sleep, claiming he is still needed. Crozier returns with no memory of anything after the attack on Dethklok itself, but with strange nightmares of Ravenwood's death.

Though his actual status within the military is not elaborated upon aside from his rank, Crozier clearly has influence over much of the army's resources, as he was able to procure several platoons of soldiers, tanks, and fighter jets for an assault on one of Dethklok's concerts.

Of his medals, ribbons, and tabs, the only four that resemble actual awards are the Kuwait Liberation Campaign ribbon, the Special Forces Tab, the Ranger Tab, and Combat Infantryman Badge. With the exception of the Kuwait Liberation ribbon, General Crozier's campaign ribbons do not closely match any issued by any branch of the US military.

Cardinal Ravenwood

File:Cardinal ravenwood.JPG

Cardinal Ravenwood

Cardinal Ravenwood is an elderly priest who has a religious perspective on the issues regarding Dethklok. Often, he claims to have had prophetic visions of the outcomes of Dethklok's current activities, though they don't seem to come true too often. During the episode "Skwisklok," Ravenwood admits that he is looking forward to Skwisgaar's pay-per-view event, as he has taken up playing the guitar. He has dreams in which Selatcia speaks to him in an unknown language and interprets this as a sign that he would die. This prediction seems to be true in "The Metalocalypse Has Begun," when Selatcia telekinetically blinds him and causes his intestines to prolapse for his betrayal. In the second season premiere, "Dethecution", Ravenwood is seen being tortured in the depths of Hell by Selatcia and the members of Dethklok while General Crozier watches, though it is unclear whether this scene was real or one of the nightmares General Crozier has been having.

Vater Orlaag

Vater Orlaag is the apparent replacement for Cardinal Ravenwood. introduced in the second episode of the second season. Orlaag is described by Stampington as "a political and spiritual specialist."

Mr. Selatcia

Mr. Selatcia is the elder member of the Tribunal who sits in a throne in the center, is usually the last to speak, and always has the final word on what course of action the group will take. Oddly enough, he always recommends inaction, ordering the Tribunal to allow what is occurring to take place undisturbed. General Crozier describes Selatcia's background as "murky." Selatcia apparently has either supernatural or telekinetic powers, which he displays in "The Metalocalypse Has Begun." Having discovered the treachery of Crozier and Ravenwood, he telekinetically causes five soldiers' heads to burst. He then does the same to Ravenwood's eyes and makes him regurgitate his own intestines. In contrast, he only puts Crozier to sleep, claiming he needs Crozier alive. He then disappears with the surrounding fog before anyone can discover his presence.

Additionally, in an easter egg found on the Metalocalypse Season 1 DVD (disc 2, "episodes" menu), there is a picture of Selatcia wearing non-descript ancient tribal armor (resembling the armor Nathan wore in the "Thunderhorse" video), complete with animal skull shoulder guards and encrusted with talismans which resemble the faces of Dethklok's members, which flash on the screen as lightning crashes. Along with Cardinal Ravenwood's vision of Selatcia speaking to him in an ancient language, this seems to imply that he was (or perhaps, still is) a warlord or dignitary of some past society. There is no dialogue or action to go with the image, so the details surrounding the picture and its relationship to Mr. Selatcia remain unclear.

Recurring characters

Charles Foster Ofdensen

File:Advisorguy.jpg

Charles Foster Ofdensen, Dethklok's manager

Charles Foster Ofdensen is Dethklok's manager, legal counsel, and CFO (although his name was never stated through the first 19 episodes of the series, it is mentioned on the band's pain waiver and is confirmed in "The Metalocalypse Has Begun"). He acts as the voice of reason against Dethklok's constant disregard of law and logic; Nathan Explosion even describes one of his jobs as talking the band out of the terrible ideas they come up with while drunk. The band (or Skwisgaar at least) considers him to be their "butler". Ofdensen's first appearance was in "Dethwater", where he talks to the band through a video monitor. He acts as manager, lawyer, and advisor to Dethklok, protecting the band against everything from slowing record sales to themselves. In "The Metalocalypse Has Begun", he refers to Toki and Skwisgaar as his "bread and butter," indicating his protection of the band is at least as much for his own sake as theirs. He is one of the few individuals seen to interact with Dethklok for any significant length of time and evade subsequent mutilation or death. He appears to live in Mordhaus with the band, as he is seen wearing a bathrobe while lecturing Toki in the middle of the night with the rest of the band.

Ofdensen reacts with general apathy to the mayhem caused by Dethklok, his only concern seemingly being the legal or financial ramifications of their actions. Similarly, he shows little more than slight annoyance when the band insults him in one way or another. Despite his job description, Ofdensen usually supports Dethklok's violence when it doesn't happen in public view, when it solves their problems, or if the band is legally exempt from responsibility (like at their concerts). He has no problems leading two blackmail-threatening Dethklok fans to their deaths in "Mordland", even producing a half-grin while ordering their execution, and later allows the band to blame their rampant embezzlement from their own company on a recently-killed employee. In the episode "Dethklown", he also has Dr. Rockso beaten without any prompting by the band and later threatens him. General Crozier even warns Dr. Rockso that Ofdensen is especially dangerous. In "The Metalocalypse Has Begun", this is seen to be true; he displays exceptional skill in close-quarters combat, single-handedly disarming and almost killing 216's brother, despite the latter being much more physically imposing and presumably well trained. Ofdensen broke the man's arm, stabbed him with his own knife while he was still holding it (using the broken arm), and kicked him into freezing waters. Ofdensen only sustained a shallow cut and a couple of hits himself. Ofdensen also set an army of Dethklok's roadies upon the military forces sent by Crozier.

Ofdensen's knowledge of the conspiracies surrounding Dethklok is unknown. His office has a safe containing classified information, presumably regarding the band's activities; however, the contents of the safe are never seen. He also seems to have some sort of grasp of the Tribunal's activities, both catching Dr. Rockso as a spy and sitting back to "see where he goes" when Rockso returns to General Crozier. He also used high-tech surveillance to monitor the band's safety during their ill-fated performance of Dethwater in the first season finale, and had an elaborate escape and counterstrike prepared when military forces attacked Dethklok.

Dethklok's roadies

File:Roadie.JPG

Dethklok's helicopter pilot

Dethklok's roadies are the brutal overseers of the band's various properties and concerts. They all wear black hoods and black uniforms, and in general resemble medieval executioners; the pilot of Dethklok's helicopter seems to be the exception (whom the band wrote a song about). In order to prove their loyalty to Dethklok, they have a Dethklok emblem branded onto the backs of their necks. They always refer to the members of Dethklok as "my lord(s)" or "my master(s)" (or in the case of the Mordhaus librarian, "sweetie") and are in turn referred to by their numeric designation. They are killed as frequently as any other people who come into contact with Dethklok; in the episode "Murdering Outside the Box", Skwisgaar mentions that Level 2 employees get a Viking funeral, though just what identifies them as such is unclear.

The roadies faithfully do Dethklok's bidding, beating and/or killing whomever Dethklok or Ofdensen ask them to, as well as performing more mundane tasks such as cleaning up after the band and general maintenance. In "The Metalocalypse Has Begun", they also function as an army for the band, fighting with swords and other medieval weaponry despite the fact that they carry guns (50 caliber sniper rifles as well as handguns) in their estate. Dethklok's massive helicopters serve as troop transports for them, dropping hundreds at a time onto the battlefield. That they were able to defeat all but five of the heavily-armed military force indicates at least decent skill on their part, though their superior numbers likely helped. A dwarfish employee's ability to fight on-par with a trained assassin in "Murdering Outside the Box" supports the idea that they're well-trained in this field.

Curiously, the submarine used by Dethklok to record their underwater album was crewed by what appeared to be members of the Russian Navy, as opposed to the roadies seen at Mordhaus and elsewhere.

Jean-Pierre

Jean-Pierre, before his accident (left) and after (right)

Jean-Pierre is Dethklok's faithful chef, the most recent in a long line to cater to the band. He is passionately loyal to his employers, having stated that he would rather have his "brain scooped out with a melon baller" than miss the opportunity to "deliver the various cheese snacks to [his] beloved Dethklok", despite the job's inherent risks. According to Skwisgaar, all of the chefs previously employed by Dethklok "has died a horribles deaths," (such as one who had his face smashed in by a hovercraft) a fate that Jean-Pierre has (so far) narrowly avoided.

Jean-Pierre was once a normal stereotypical French chef, but was mangled when a stray firework missile shot into the band's helicopter during a live performance. When the missile detonated, Jean-Pierre was thrown out of the helicopter and straight into the rotor blades. He was mangled to such an extent that his body was split into several pieces, making it necessary to connect them together via a complex and strange-looking machine in order to keep him alive, which cost Dethklok $10,000 a day. After realizing that they couldn't feed themselves the band sewed him back together, albeit very poorly. The act gave Nathan inspiration for a song, aptly titled "Sewn Back Together Wrong," in addition to giving Jean-Pierre a hideous and mutilated appearance (some parts were sewn on backward). Despite the dubious quality of his reconstruction, Jean-Pierre returned to work enthusiastically and his current condition does not appear to have adversely affected his skills as a chef.

Jean-Pierre is indirectly responsible for the death of the Queen of Denmark; having been asked by Nathan to bake a "metal" cake for Murderface's birthday, he took the request literally and made a cake with mercury frosting. Though he warned people not to sample the frosting, as it would kill them, the Queen took a taste before he could stop her. She subsequently died of mercury poisoning.

Dick "Magic Ears" Knubbler

File:Knubbler.JPG

Dick Knubbler, with his new robotic, chameleon-like eyes

Dick Knubbler is a music producer sent to monitor Dethklok's album recording in the episode "Dethwater." Dethklok's label sent him to work with the band as a condition for allowing the band to record their new album in a submarine in the Mariana Trench. Knubbler has a long list of felonies, including tax evasion, disfiguring a co-worker's face with acid, and soliciting prostitution and drugs, all of which are supposed to lead to a 25-year sentence. The Tribunal acquired his services as a "man on the inside" to report on Dethklok's actions during the recording. After hearing the track "Murmaider" (with his eyes bleeding and glasses breaking due to the volume level), his tune changed, and he began praising Dethklok and the album, promising to report to the label upon his return to the surface. While traveling back in a bathysphere, he turned down his planned report to the Tribunal. Afterwards, his attempt to escape a giant seahorse, mutated by leaking radioactive fuel from Dethklok's submarine, causes his eyes to explode from rapid decompression.

In cutaways from the end credits, a newspaper headline claims "New Dethklok Album is so awesome, it blinds Producer." Another cutaway from a magazine cover shows Knubbler's supposed resurgence on the music scene, and details his eye surgery for his new "dark metal" robotic eyes. In the episode "Dethkomedy," Knubbler (with his new robotic eyes) makes a cameo in the crowd of Dethklok's court case, and is seen laughing at jokes made by the band. He returned in the episode "Dethkids," where he served as the producer for Murderface's long-awaited Planet Piss side project. In addition to their obvious sensory functions, Knubbler's robotic eyes can also look in multiple directions simultaneously, much like a chameleon's, which aids him in operating Dethklok's complicated, high-end mixers. The eyes glow in response to his mood (red for anger, green otherwise). Knubbler seems to have been hired by the band to help them in producing records, as The Dethalbum credits him with producing, engineering, and mixing it. In "Dethvengeance", he helps the band move all their songs onto their newly-created "water format", only to be annoyed when the band uses said water for mundane everyday tasks.

Dr. Rockso

Dr. Rockso is a "rock 'n' roll clown." ("Rock n' roll clown" may be a reference to lyrics in Def Leppard's song, "Photograph".) He does cocaine. He mentions this fact quite loudly and frequently, it is even the primary theme in his music video. He talks in a high-pitched voice, which every member of the band except Toki find irritating. He wears a very tight neon green jumpsuit with cutouts that expose almost his entire torso and, in the back, some of his buttocks. The rest of his outfit includes a combination cap, long wig, KISS-like face paint, furry boots, and a spiky red nose. The colors of his clothing and hair sometimes change between episodes, but are always gaudy and fluorescent.

In the episode "Birthdayface," Dethklok hired him as entertainment for Murderface's birthday party, where he made him a Bootsy Collins Space Bass guitar out of balloons. Not long after, Murderface snapped and began shoving the balloon bass down Rockso's throat, before the Dethklok roadies beat the Doctor mercilessly. He reappeared in a short cameo in "Bluesklok" during the Tribunal's presentation as a victim of "celebrity depression."

Dr. Rockso made his proper return in "Dethklown," where he befriends Toki Wartooth. How they became friends isn't elaborated upon, though Toki says he thinks Dr. Rockso is funny and he likes to laugh. After Ofdensen throws him out of Mordhaus and orders the roadies to 'put the boots to him medium style', the Tribunal hires Dr. Rockso to gather information about Dethklok from the inside. Rockso succeeds in taking numerous pictures of Mordhaus, using a camera hidden in his hat, but is forced to flee when Ofdensen catches him opening a safe in the manager's office. He is last seen running out of the house and jumping through a window amid gunfire. Ofdensen opts not to have anyone kill him, ordering the roadies instead to "see where he goes." He lived to report back to the Tribunal, but what he found was not revealed during the rest of the season.

Rockso seems to be an amalgam of parodies, covering much of rock and roll's most garish personalities, such as KISS, Twisted Sister, and David Lee Roth. He mentions that his video was banned from "music television" because his "junk" can be seen through his jumpsuit, which was also briefly true of MTV and David Lee Roth's "Just a Gigolo" video for being too racy. In the video for "I'm Just a Rock 'n' Roll Clown," Doctor Rockso's high-kicking jump, use of sexy girls, high pitched screams, and surprised mugging for the camera all hearken back to Roth's video and on-camera antics.

Dethklok's doctor

Dethklok also meets a certain unnamed doctor twice in the first season. He is first shown talking to Dethklok about neutering the Fat Kid in "Fat Kid at the Detharmonic." He advises against their idea of neutering and suggests to Dethklok to lower the amount of sugar his diet. To this, Pickles responded that they couldn't do that, as it would be Nazi-like. The doctor finally neuters the Fat Kid with much reluctance. Secondly, the doctor is shown in "Girlfriendklok," attending to Rebecca Nightrod after her accident. He tells Nathan "Well, she's in a coma, and if you want to talk to her, she can hear you... whatever." Note that the doctor that appears in "Mordland," who is shown just before performing the procedure to replace Nathan's liver due to his excessive drinking, is a different doctor.

216's brother

This unnamed man is the brother of Agent 216, a man hired by General Crozier to kill Dethklok, only to meet his end after falling upon Murderface's diamond-studded codpiece. 216's brother is a psychotic sociopath who wears a metal mask, first seen in a slaughterhouse surrounded by dismembered people hanging from hooks (including one live person he was in the middle of cutting open). General Crozier recruits him for the assault on the Dethwater concert, supposedly so he can avenge his brother's death, although Crozier has ulterior motives. As he prepares to kill Skwisgaar and Toki, he himself is seriously wounded by Ofdensen (his right arm broken, stabbed in the side, and kicked into a body of water).

He returns in the episode "Dethvengeance", alive but now wearing a metal support for his formerly broken arm. He tortures one of Dethklok's roadies for information, but the man takes a cyanide pill. The roadie's head was then crushed by 216's brother in his anger. He rescues Edgar Jomfru (floating on his unconscious cellmate, a fan imprisoned for illegal downloading), who escaped from Dethklok's underground prison, for an unknown purpose.

Edgar Jomfru

Edgar Jomfru and his brother Eric are the proprietors of diefordethklok.com, a Dethklok fan site run out of Sandusky, Ohio. Their site is the biggest in existence. They try to blackmail Dethklok by recording one of their exclusive songs and threatening to release it on the Internet. In return, Ofdensen leads them into a sniper-filled hallway in order to kill them. Eric's head was shot off by one of Dethklok's sniper roadies the moment the door closed, but Edgar, despite being in a wheelchair, managed to evade every sniper bullet and was subsequently imprisoned by Dethklok. His ordeal in Dethklok's prison clearly drove him insane: having recovered the remains of his brother's face from the incident, he makes them into a mask for a fellowed imprisoned fan who is put into his cell. He digs his way out of the prison in the episode "Dethvengeance", the fan tied to his back despite the latter not being handicapped. He is rescued by 216's brother after escaping through the sewage system.

One-time characters

In each episode, the band will often meet with different people for various reasons, usually relating to their music. With a few exceptions, most of the people they meet are either killed or horribly mutilated, often by sheer coincidence.

• Prince Henry of Denmark – The young and stupid heir to the throne of Denmark. His idol Murderface head-butted him during a concert, fracturing his skull, as Henry had approached him while he was playing guitar with his genitals. His face was autographed by Skwisgaar, injuring him further. He was last of the Danish royalty at the time of his mother's death from mercury poisoning. His name may be a reference to Prince Henry The Navigator.
• Queen of Denmark - Prince Henry's mother. Bears a resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II. At Murderface's birthday, she tries a sample of the mercury frosting before Jean-Pierre could stop her. Almost immediately, she vomits up pieces of her own flesh and died instantly. Although death from mercury does not make one do that in reality, people who meet Dethklok usually die equally gruesome deaths. Voiced by Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett.
• Mustakrakish, the Lake Troll – A lake troll risen from its thousand-year sleep by Dethklok when they took passages from a "Finnish Necronomicon" to make the lyrics for a song. The song was intended to be offered as a new national anthem in apology for almost destroying Finland on a previous tour. Instead, it awoke the Mustakrakish who terrorized nearby towns. After a failed attempt at a death metal lullaby, Mustakrakish exploded and died after tearing its organs out of its own throat and chest in an attempt to dislodge Murderface's Dethphone from its airway. Voiced by Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
• Finnish bartender – Nameless bartender who helps Dethklok defeat Mustakrakish the Troll by introducing them to acoustic instruments (or as Skwisgaar and Toki call them, "grandspa's guitars"), in order to put the troll back to sleep after it destroys the power grid. He was eaten by the troll. Voiced by Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett.
• Lorkey the Sailor – A sea captain that trains Dethklok to be funny for their comedy routines. Committed suicide after realizing he couldn't teach them any more. Voiced by Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
• Nick Ibsen – A TV personality resembling Larry King. He was killed by electrocution through a pool of his own blood, giving Nathan inspiration for the song "Bloodrocuted." It is possible that he was featured in previous episodes as a news reporter.
• Serveta Skwigelf – Former Miss Sweden 1956 (of course, not the REAL Miss Sweden), and the neglectful, promiscuous single mother of Skwisgaar. A news report claims that her bad parenting led to Skwisgar's guitar skill. She mentioned her dislike of her son in the episode "Dethfam", stating that she "could never lose the weight from having you!". She is not the best mother.
• Anja and Reverend Aslaug Wartooth – The extremely religious parents of Toki. They live in an abandoned village near Lillehammer, Norway. They never speak, smile, or show any emotion whatsoever. However, they have been briefly shown screaming towards the end of the episode "Dethfam." Their screams are guttural and barbaric. In "Dethkids", Toki has a flashback to his childhood, in which his mother slaps him for no reason.
• Stella and Thunderbolt Murderface – Grandparents who raised William after the chainsaw murder/suicide of his parents. Thunderbolt suffered a massive stroke some time in the past (believed to be approximately “30 years ago”, as suggested by the lyrics he has in Dethfam) and Stella tows him in a wagon behind her Rascal scooter until Murderface buys him a wheelchair controlled by blinking. It is worth noting that Thunderbolt Murderface "sings" the only actual written lyrics of the song "Dethfam", although they are computer generated.
• Calvert and Molly – Pickles' parents. They reside in Tomahawk, Wisconsin. They favor Pickles' older brother Seth, despite the fact that he lives in their garage and has no known job.
• Seth – Pickles' older brother. An ex-con who constantly tries to make money off of Pickles' fame. He threatens Pickles with identity theft in the episode "Dethfam".
• Rose and Oscar Explosion – Nathan's parents. They live in Victory Gardens, an armed forces retirement community in Florida.
• Dr. Jonathan Twinkletits (pronounced "twink-LET-its," deliberately avoiding the obvious pronunciation) – An insane band therapist hired to keep Dethklok from having another fight on-stage. He awards the band members with banana stickers for good behavior.Former member of a band known as the Amazlingtons, whom he killed after they disbanded. When he attempted to kill Dethklok after they fired him, he slipped on a banana sticker and fell into Mordhaus' front yard, where he was eaten by the "yard wolves."
• Antonio "Tony" DiMarco Thunderbottom – Bassist from Snakes n' Barrels. A former alcoholic and drug addict, now sober. His signature top hat is reminiscent of Slash from Guns N' Roses. When the band reunites, they presumably do so in his house; he is reluctant to turn his amplifier on due to electricity costs. He was driven insane by the military-developed drug "Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake." Voiced by Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott.
• Sammy "Candynose" Twinskins – Drummer from Snakes n' Barrels. Formerly addicted to crack cocaine, but has since become sober. Bears a resemblance to Steven Adler of Guns N' Roses. He was driven insane by the military-developed drug "Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake." Voiced by Nevermore singer Warrel Dane.
• Snizzy "Snazz" Bullets – Rhythm Guitar player from Snakes n' Barrels. Suffers from partial facial paralysis due to hallucinogen and heroin abuse. He later invented a strapless guitar that functions as a girdle, known as a "g-girdle-uitar". He was driven insane by the military-developed drug "Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake." Voiced by Nevermore guitarist Steve Smyth.
• Fat Kid/Fatty/Fatty Ding-Dongs/Fat Tits (the list goes on and on) – Feral mutant child adopted by Dethklok in a misguided attempt to get a tax write-off. He does not speak, communicating only through pig-like squeals and grunts. They treat him like a pet rather than a person. Nathan even went so far as to neuter him in an attempt to calm him down, with Pickles arguing that it is less Nazi-like than limiting his sugar intake. Responsible for cutting the London Philharmonic Orchestra in half with beams from Dethklok's "Mother-Laser-Fucking Light Show." He was killed by feral cats after being left on an island which Dethklok had earlier dubbed the "Dethklok Home for Wayward Kitties."
• Sergio Pampenheiser – Television personality selling quality guitars on TV. It is likely that Sergio is a reference to the musician-turned-guitar-salesman Esteban, who is famous for selling guitars on television shopping networks.
• 216 – Silent government agent sent by General Crozier to kill Dethklok disguised as one of their workers. Killed two Dethklok employees while trying to get to Dethklok. He was impaled on Murderface's codpiece after being tripped by the dwarfish Dethklok employee who was also identified as number 216. He was given a Viking Funeral.
• Mashed Potato Johnson – The oldest living blues guitarist. Supposedly made a deal with the devil for blues talent. He taught Dethklok about "the Blues". Parody of Robert Johnson.
• The Blues Devil – A being to whom people sell their souls (or in Dethklok's case, a $5 Hot Topic gift card) in exchange for fame in the blues genre, he was seen on the hill standing firm as his car was blown away while Dethklok played blues without signing his contract.
• Prayer Bolt – Christian rock band whose show Dethklok attended to help Murderface find religion. The lead singer was killed when he stage dived onto a board exposed by Toki.
• Juliette Sarmansadandle – Dying, wheelchair-bound little girl whose last wish is to meet Toki. She makes Toki a DVD with her playing a Guitar Hero guitar that causes him to flash back to his own childhood and realize that being a kid is "brutal," but she is already dead by the time he finally assents to meet her. This causes Toki to have fierce hallucionations of her accusing him of her death. Oddly, carrion beasts had removed her eyes completely before she was dead for an entire day.
• Rebecca Nightrod – Nathan's demanding, shrewish girlfriend, a professional tennis player turned sitcom actress and model. She is controlling and never allows Nathan to speak, and he admits that he is afraid of her and his hatred for her is "the most brutal thing ever." When he finally prepares to break up with her, she falls down several flights of stairs, ending up disfigured and in a coma, which makes Nathan avoid ending their relationship (she is now the "ultimate" girlfriend since she can no longer terrorize him). She is voiced by Laura Silverman.
• James Grishnack – Head of Behemoth Productions, which produced Dethklok's horrifically bad $500,000,000 film, Blood Ocean. He expressed his dislike of the film by slapping his assistant and ignoring Dethklok's calls. Grishnack insisted on its release so he could get his money back, even after the band ordered it to be shelved in order to preserve their image. Dethklok's helicopter broke an oil pump while leaving the premiere of the film and the only print of Blood Ocean went up in flames along with everything else when Grishnack's cigar fell to the ground. His face melted off during the fire, but a newspaper says he lived through it. His name is a reference to the alter ego of Varg Vikernes, "Count Grishnackh."
• Adam Nergal - The upbeat, sincere director of Blood Ocean. Due to not understanding Skwisgaar, he makes a deal to direct the best he can if Skwisgaar can "say those words as best as he can"; Unfortunately, he is subsequently fired for breach of contract which, as stated by Pickles, read that he is not allowed to direct, note, or berate Dethklok because "it sickens them", as well as not being allowed to approach the band. After realizing he's fired, he eventually hangs himself (an idea given to him by Toki). His name is a dual reference to Adam Darski, or "Nergal", the founder, lyricist, main composer, frontman and manager of blackened death metal band Behemoth.
• J.F. Amarth – An elderly, respected actor hired to appear in Dethklok's film. He was impaled with a forklift driven by Pickles, although it is uncertain if this act killed him, as he still appeared in the film. His name is a reference to the Swedish Viking-metal band, Amon Amarth, and was voiced by Andy Richter.
• Alfred Belmer - Likely a reference to the serial-killer/canibals Albert Fish and Jeffrey Dahmer, he is a vicious killer who specializes in cannibalizing infants and toddlers. He was scheduled to be executed for Dethklok's big return concert, a prospect he despised due to his hatred of Dethklok. He eventually is seen escaping prison when Dethklok's vehicle breaks down the walls. In the end credits of that episode, he is seen preparing to eat a child.
