List of Metalocalypse characters

The following is a list of characters in the American animated television series Metalocalypse. Survival from near fatal injuries in the show is a common running gag; a character may be burned, maimed or hurt in some manner and still be able to return in later episodes.

Dethklok

Main article: Dethklok

The Tribunal

The Tribunal in their meeting room in Season 1. Extreme left: General Crozier; Center: Mr. Selatcia; Right of center: Cardinal Ravenwood; Inset: Senator Stampingston.

The Tribunal is an Illuminati-style group which monitors Dethklok. They appear in almost every episode to discuss Dethklok's latest activities and the dangers they pose. They seem to fear that Dethklok are part of an ancient Sumerian prophecy. The episode "The Metalocalypse Has Begun" suggests that the ultimate event in the prophecy is an "apocalypse of metal."

The group's briefings are led by Senator Stampingston, who usually has experts (who often bear ridiculously complicated names) speak based on whatever Dethklok is doing in the episode. The group has both military (General Crozier) and religious (Cardinal Ravenwood, replaced by Vader Orlaag in season 2) 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 appearing via video conferencing, the top left in the left quarter of which seems to resemble James Grishnack, producer of Dethklok's movie Blood Ocean, and the top left of the right quarter being the band's Therapist, John Twinkletits.

Senator Stampingston

• Voiced by: Mark Hamill

Senator Stampingston is the main speaker who reports on Dethklok's current activities. It's never made clear if he currently represents a state or if he simply was a past senator. He stands to the left of the large television screen in the briefing room, explaining Dethklok's latest activities while the screen highlights his points. He is the very image of a member of the old Eastern Establishment in the United States feared by many Illuminati theorists, as also embodied in the character Robert Putney Drake in the Illuminatus! trilogy. He also has stitches going across the back of his head. 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.

In "Black Fire Upon Us" Stampington is seen with General Crozier at the U.N.

General Crozier

• Voiced by: Victor Brandt

General Crozier is a four-star General in the United States Army. His job in the Tribunal, as stated by Mr. Selatcia, is information gathering, which Crozier is not happy about. Crozier is the main villain of the 1st Season although in the 2nd Season he is more loyal to Selatcia and does not interfere with Dethklok anymore.

He brings a military viewpoint to the Tribunal's dealings with Dethklok, and usually recommends military action, often in the form of assassination. Despite his view that Dethklok should be dealt with in the most efficient manner, 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. He covertly sends an assassin to Mordhaus to eliminate Dethklok, which fails. He also gathers a large military force combined with state-of-the-art guards from the Vatican to kill them in "The Metalocalypse Has Begun," having formed an alliance with Cardinal Ravenwood in this endeavor. This backfires when Selatcia discovers their betrayal and brutally kills Ravenwood, and Ofdensen manages to evacuate Dethklok whilst Klokateers battle Crozier's and Ravenwood's guards. However, Selatcia merely puts Crozier to sleep, claiming he is still needed alive. Crozier returns with no memory of anything after the attack on Dethklok itself, but with strange nightmares of Ravenwood's death. In the episode "Dethcarraldo," during a botched attempt to disrupt Dethklok's plans in the Amazon, Crozier is forced by the native Yaneemango Indians to partake in a drug known as yopo. He imagines the bloodied and disfigured Ravenwood again, along with the soldiers killed by Selatcia. The vision of Ravenwood claims that General Crozier is dead, but he is seen later at the Tribunal meeting concerning Dethklok's new manager.

In Dethrelease he is appointed Chief of Staff by the president and he focuses his attention on capturing the Revengencers. He arrives at Mordhaus and to stop the Revengencers attack, there he is confronted by Orlaag and Selatcia who uses his magic to control his mind. Crozier then becomes a mind slave for Selatcia who apparently needs his new military power, having him gather his forces for a purpose yet to be revealed. In "RenovationKlok", he is seen sending his forces through multiple territories, and is looking at a blueprint for some kind of machine with his eyes glowing, likely for a plan of Selatcia's.

Cardinal Ravenwood

• Voiced by: Victor Brandt

Cardinal Ravenwood was an elderly priest who has a religious perspective on the issues regarding Dethklok and is the secondary villain of the 1st Season. He claims to have prophetic visions on a regular basis, most of which relate to Dethklok; however, they do not appear to be very reliable, or at the very least are not as literal as he explains them. Though his visions do not usually end up accurate, he does accurately foretell his own death, having had dreams of Selatcia speaking to him in an unknown language which he interprets as a sign that he would die. The prediction is realized in "The Metalocalypse Has Begun" when Selatcia telekinetically blows up his eyes and causes Ravenwood's intestines to prolapse from his mouth for his betrayal. Ravenwood then proceeds to look upon the battle happening between Dethklok's Klokateers and Crozier's army as well as guards summoned from the Vatican by Ravenwood and whispers: "The Metalocalypse... has begun." Ravenwood then succumbs to his wounds and falls to his death off of a cliff into the Gulf of Danzig, landing and getting impaled on a conical rock. Though Crozier forgot the events of the night, Ravenwood continuously appears to him in dreams. In the second season finale "Black Fire Upon Us", Cardinal Ravenwood can be seen sitting to the right of Selatcia during the special UN meeting although this is more than likely just a blooper.

Vater Orlaag

• Voiced by: Malcolm McDowell

Vater Orlaag is introduced in the second episode of the second season, presumably having been taken on to replace Ravenwood. Orlaag is described by Stampingston as "a political and spiritual specialist." Orlaag appears to play a strong role in the Tribunal, often giving his input during meetings and being present in the main chamber of Selatcia during a conference with Crozier. He seems to either hold a high military rank or maintain a private army, as seen in "Dethcarraldo." He has also shown himself to be fiercely loyal to Selatcia, more so than any other Tribunal member. His appearance may be a reference to Rasputin. In the second season finale, Orlaag is revealed to be working secretly with Selatcia.

Mr. Selatcia

• Voiced by: Mark Hamill

Mr. Selatcia is the oldest-looking member of the Tribunal, and sits in a throne in the center. When the Tribunal debates the best course of action, Mr. Selatcia is usually the last to speak, and always has the final word on what course of action the group will take. Oddly enough, he usually recommends inaction, ordering the Tribunal to allow what is occurring to take place undisturbed. General Crozier describes Selatcia's background as "murky." Selatcia displays a demonic nature in "The Metalocalypse Has Begun." Having discovered the treachery of Crozier and Ravenwood, he telekinetically causes five soldiers' heads to instantly burst; he then turns on Ravenwood, bursting his eyes and causing his intestines to prolapse from his mouth and strangle him. In contrast, he only puts Crozier to sleep, claiming he needs Crozier alive; it is indicated he is able to do this as a result of the Cardinal's failure to "pray first" before killing the unconscious members of Dethklok. He and Crozier then disappear in the surrounding fog before anyone discovers his presence; his face is superimposed briefly in the ending-panoply of the band-members, which appears just after Cardinal Ravenwood's final words: "The Metalocalypse...has begun." Later, in "P.R. Pickles," Selatcia is superimposed on the screen when the large P.R. tablet Dethklok sent into space collides with a comet that otherwise would have killed the band. When the sound on this scene is played in reverse, it is revealed that Selatcia is saying "The Prophecy".

It is heavily implied throughout the series that Selatcia is connected to Dethklok and the Metalocalypse, although it remains uncertain as to exactly how. In a hidden clip on the Metalocalypse Season 1 DVD, Selatcia is portrayed as a statue wearing armor made of bone, adorned with 5 emblems that resemble each band member. In the opening scene of the episode "Dethecution," General Crozier has an amnesiac memory/vision of Cardinal Ravenwood in Hell, surrounded by what appears to either be the 5 band members, or demons resembling them, and Selatcia in the same bone armor.

Selatcia will also quite frequently make it a point to not kill Dethklok, something that angers both General Crozier and Cardinal Ravenwood in the 1st Season (in the 2nd Season, Crozier has reformed whilst Ravenwood is dead). In "The Metalocalypse Has Begun" Crozier and Ravenwood ally to kill Dethklok at a concert at the Gulf of Danzig, amassing a huge army comprised of Crozier's military forces and Ravenwood's state-of-the-art Vatican guards. Selatcia, however, discovers this treason, kills Ravenwood, and wipes Crozier's memory of the events. Selatcia does not aid either side in the final battle in "Black Fire Upon Us," although his reasons for this remain a mystery.

In "Black Fire Upon Us" Selatcia implants visions into Crozier's head depicting Selatcia wearing the same bone armor and having the same five emblems (which additionally appear to Crozier as five separate planets). This vision, as well as other multi-character interactions involving Selatcia, clearly establish a noticeable height differential: Selatcia physically dwarfs other characters, including both General Crozier and Vader Orlaag.

Dethklok employees

Charles Foster Ofdensen

• Voiced by: Brendon Small

Charles Foster Ofdensen is Dethklok's manager, legal counsel, and CFO, the latter also incidentally being his initials. He also shares the same first and middle name of the title character of Citizen Kane, Charles Foster Kane (played by Orson Welles). He acts alternately as the voice of reason against Dethklok's constant disregard of law and logic and the reluctant enabler of their behavior. He acts as manager, lawyer, and advisory to Dethklok, protecting the band against everything from slowing record sales to themselves. Ofdensen is one of the few individuals seen to interact with Dethklok for any significant length of time and evade subsequent mutilation or death.

Ofdensen is a "dark parody" caricature of band-managers, being "all about business"; his primary concern in most scenarios is protecting the band from fans, enemies, and the legal and financial ramifications of their own actions. His general personality can be described as bookish and analytical, with little patience for humor; his loyalty to the "boys" serves to protect the profits being made. To this end, he has shown himself capable of acts just as brutal as the band members themselves, if not more so. However, his violent acts are always quite calculated, with the clear objective to protect the band. He has no problem ordering others to be beaten or killed (Dr. Rockzo in particular, who he orders to be beaten and tortured twice, ostensibly for no other reason than his dislike of the clown). General Crozier warns Dr. Rockzo to "stay away from [Ofdensen], he means business." Ofdensen's other catch phrase, to this end, is, "That's my bread and butter you're fucking with."

Ofdensen also has secret contacts with the leaders of the United Nations, because so much of their economies depend on Dethklok sales; this allows him a global license to instantly and secretly trace, capture, imprison and torture all those who illegally download or record Dethklok's music. These victims are simply publicly listed as "missing," but are secretly imprisoned and tortured at Mordhaus, where they are driven to insanity by forcibly exposing them to Dethklok's music at extremely high volumes ("Dethvengeance").

Over the course of the series, Ofdensen is portrayed as a sort of caretaker to Dethklok, having a clear knowledge of the various band members' personalities and quirks. He receives a great deal of verbal abuse from the band, which he bears with visible—but controlled—annoyance while continuing to indulge them. When he sees a situation that is immaterial to Dethklok's making music or other money-making enterprises (i.e. Dethmerch -- the merchandise line of Dethklok), he half-heartedly offers a listening ear for advice. After doing this, and receiving the band's typical uninterested responses, he inevitably says one of his catch phrases, "Well, for the record, I tried." Often at a loss with the logic of other band members, Ofdensen seems to interact most productively with Nathan Explosion, making most of the decisions regarding the band's public appearances through him. He shows no compunctions about lying to or verbally manipulating the band, either to sway their decisions or spare their feelings. It is revealed in the Season 2 DVD extras that Ofdensen falsifies Melmord Fjordslorn's disappearance from Mordland and his position as interim manager, planting a newspaper article citing Melmord's exposure to the public (and presumed arrest) as a pedophile. He then volunteers to replace Melmord in the group's drunken social outings.

Ofdensen displays exceptional skill in close-quarters combat in several episodes. In "The Metalocalypse Has Begun", he single-handedly disarms and almost kills the Metal Masked Assassin, despite the latter being much more physically imposing. When he is surprised, badly beaten and thrown through a window several stories high in their next encounter in the episode "The Revengencers", he inexplicably manages to land on his hands and feet without apparent injury. In "Dethsources", he has a fencing match with Melmord Fjordslorn to determine who would remain as Dethklok's manager, having insisted that the only way to separate him from Dethklok would be to kill him. After a lengthy battle, Ofdensen barely manages to stab Melmord and force him off of the top of Mordhaus' Dragonspire, causing him to fall to his death on the rail tracks below.

Ofdensen's knowledge of the conspiracy against Dethklok is unknown. His office has a safe containing classified information; however, the contents of the safe are never seen, as he catches Dr. Rockzo just before he can film them for the tribunal. Instead of having Rockzo killed, he orders his Klokateers to "see where he goes." He uses high-tech radar and surveillance to monitor the band's safety during their ill-fated performance of Dethwater at the Gulf of Danzig in the first season finale; he likewise has an elaborate defense, escape and counterstrike prepared when military forces attack Dethklok. In "Dethrelease", Dethklok's new album release concert and the subsequent Revengencers' attack allows Ofdensen to demonstrate two achievements that establish Dethklok as an even greater superpower: multi-stage manned rocket technology and a functioning missile defense system. The former had been attained by only three nations at the time and the latter is the first of its kind.

Prior to the concert and release party, Ofdensen becomes very preoccupied with security, appointing an elite group of Klokateers to protect Dethklok and constructing a high-powered force field to surround Mordhaus. During the Revengencers' attack, he unflinchingly leads the elite Klokateers in an assault on the Revengencers' soundwave cannon. Most of his soldiers are killed, but he points his hoverbike at the weapon and leaps onto a vacant one, effectively destroying the sonic weapon. The Metal Masked Assassin then commandeers a hoverbike and pursues Ofdensen. After jockeying for position in a high-speed chase, Ofdensen is shot from his hoverbike by the third member of the Revengencers, Teen. The Assassin then proceeds to brutally beat Ofdensen, saying he wants him to live in order to torture him -— with Ofdensen not replying as the Assassin soon is bludgeoned from behind by a flaming crossbeam from the Mordhaus wreckage, wielded by Nathan Explosion. With Ofdensen apparently dead, Dethklok suffered economically for nine months before Offdensen returns to saves Dethklok from signing a new contract with their record company that would give the company vengeful control over them, now shown to have a scar on the left side of his face from his last fight with the Assassin. Revealed to have faked his death, Ofdensen promises to tell the band the full story at a later date.

Klokateers

A Klokateer, specifically 421.

Klokateers are the brutal overseers of the band's various properties and the roadies for their concerts. They all wear black hoods and black, sleeveless uniforms, and in general resemble medieval executioners; however, certain members dress differently when necessary, such as the pilot of Dethklok's helicopter, The "Dethcopter", commonly mistaken for Hatredcopter (written about on The Dethalbum). 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 Klokateers. In order to prove their loyalty to Dethklok, Klokateers have a Dethklok gear emblem branded onto the backs of their necks. They always refer to the members of Dethklok as "my lord(s)" or "my master(s)" 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.

The Klokateers obey Dethklok without question, no matter how outrageous their demands may be. They are quick to beat or kill people, with or without orders, and in "Dethcarraldo" gladly pull Dethklok's very large boat over a nearby mountain at the cost of their lives. In "The Metalocalypse Has Begun", they function as an army for the band, fighting with swords and other medieval weaponry despite the fact that they carry automatic weaponry and high-powered sniper rifles in their estate. Dethklok's massive helicopters serve as troop transports for them, dropping hundreds at a time onto the battlefield.

The first use of the term to represent Dethklok's massive gang of henchmen is in The Dethalbum. In the liner notes, Dethklok states their appreciation of their labor, saying "DETHKLOK would like to thank the tireless work of the Klokateers (see we really are good bosses)." As revealed in "Dethsources", even before they are officially hired, they are quite likely to die. The episode also features the first use of "Klokateers" within the main series. The entrance exam alone has a mortality rate of fifty percent, as the participants are required to pair up and fight each other to the death with their bare fists. Ofdensen mentions that, by the time they are made official Klokateers, most will likely have been maimed or killed. Their living conditions are said to be so horrible that their corpses are stuffing the sewer system, much to the dislike of a visiting health inspector, although it is unlikely that things will change, since Nathan and Murderface convinced the health inspector that the extremely poor and deadly working conditions are very "metal."

Most Klokateers are generic in form and unnamed. However, one Klokateer in particular is given an identity which makes him easily recognizable in future episodes. Number 216, a midget who wins Murderface's "diamond-encrusted, titanium-base codpiece" in the Season 1 "Murdering Outside The Box" episode (while unwittingly saving Dethklok from certain disaster) is seen in two later episodes. In Season 2, he is seen in the "Dethcarraldo" episode manning a large chaingun pod, wearing his prized codpiece and viewing a porn magazine while waiting for the massive gun to be reloaded. In "Dethrelease," Number 216 can be seen with Ofdensen and a fellow Klokateer standing near the Dethcopter prior to the launch of the release concert. His appearance could be considered an "easter egg" in the series.

Jean-Pierre

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

• Voiced by: Mark Hamill

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

In the pilot episode, Jean-Pierre is mangled when a stray firework missile ejects him from the Dethcopter and into its rotor blades. The blades slice him into several pieces, making it necessary to connect them together via a complex and strange-looking machine in order to keep him alive. After realizing that they couldn't feed themselves due to their own incompetence and total unfamiliarity with such mundane elements as grocery shopping, the band sewed him back together. However, they did so very poorly, which gave Nathan the inspiration for the song "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. He can be seen in the background of various episodes, shuffling along.

Dick "Magic Ears" Knubbler

• Voiced by: Brendon Small

Dick Knubbler is Dethklok's music producer. He is first introduced in "Dethwater", where he is sent to monitor Dethklok's album recording by the Tribunal in exchange for having his criminal record erased; among his laundry list of felonies are tax evasion, disfiguring a co-worker's face with acid, soliciting prostitution and drugs. Dethklok's music convinces him to turn on the Tribunal, and he promises to report on the merits of their new record to the label upon his return to the surface. While traveling back in a bathysphere, he is attacked by a giant seahorse mutated by radiation leaking from Dethklok's submarine. In his attempt to escape, his eyes explode from rapid decompression and are replaced with new "dark metal" robotic eyes.

He returns as Dethklok's producer in the episode "Dethkids," helping to produce for Murderface's long-awaited Planet Piss side project. In "Dethvengeance", he helps the band move all their songs onto their newly-created "water format." He also produces the band's long awaited album in "Dethrecord" and stays extremely patient with the band, despite their eccentric behavior (such as Nathan wearing a suit of armor as he records).

In Dethrelease, Knubbler is seen escaping the attack by the Revengencers, convincing the other band members to save the master recordings.

It has been stated that Dick "Magic Ears" Knubbler is a parody of Phil Spector, although his appearance is similar to recording engineer Chuck Ainlay. The Dethalbum and "Dethalbum II" credit Knubbler with producing, engineering, and mixing.

Dethklok's doctor

• Voiced by: Tommy Blacha

Dethklok meets a certain unnamed doctor at various points in the series. The doctor usually does whatever Dethklok asks, despite the fact that they ask him to do things any ordinary doctor would never consider. He even calls them idiots when they believe a simple cold will kill them and request medication to cure it. He usually responds to their requests with a dejected "whatever." He even neuters Dethklok's adopted son, via the band's request, after his first suggestion of cutting sugar from his diet to cure the boy's Attention Deficit Disorder is rejected by the band.

Facebones

Facebones is an animated version of the Dethklok logo, with a twisted jaw and visible brain. He is used in videos related to Dethklok, like during fan day, when he told the fans the rules. He was also used in "Murdering Outside," when he opened the quarterly review. Facebones speaks in a high-pitch voice, but grows darker near the end of the videos. It appears that he is a distorted version of Charles Ofdensen's voice. In the episode "Murdering Outside the Box" Charles is speaking into a microphone, but you can hear Facebones' voice. It is unknown if this was intentional or not.

Facebones is used in frequent interludes at Dethklok's live concerts as well, being projected onto a large screen and frequently providing 'behind-the-scenes' information.

Recurring characters

Dr. Rockzo

• Voiced by: Tommy Blacha (talking); Brendon Small (singing)

Dr. Rockzo the rock 'n' roll clown. He does cocaine, a fact which he will proudly declare at any given opportunity. He admits in one episode that not only does he use cocaine, but also huffs paint, uses crystal meth, heroin, pain pills, and OxyContin before stating, "I do it all baby!." Dr. Rockzo's real name is Leonard Rockstein, the trouble-making son of a physical therapist who became lead singer of Zazz Blammymatazz, a partying rock band named after the guitarist. They quickly became famous; however, Rockzo insisted on being paid in cocaine, and was fired for his actions. After a short-lived solo career, he began his present life as a rock n' roll clown for hire.

Rockzo talks in a high-pitched voice, which every member of the band except Toki finds irritating. He wears a very tight neon unitard with cutouts that expose almost his entire torso and, in the back, the top of his gluteal cleft. The rest of his outfit includes a combination cap, long, thick, brightly-colored hair, KISS-like face paint, furry boots, and a spiky red nose. The colors of his clothing and hair change between episodes, but are always gaudy and fluorescent.

Toki and Dr. Rockzo become friends following Rockzo's first appearance, as Toki has a "strong childhood trust" of clowns (he is shown as a child with clown/serial killer John Wayne Gacy). Rockzo is not well received by the other band members, particularly Murderface. Ultimately, Ofdensen throws Rockzo out of Mordhaus and orders him beaten. After this, a more deranged Rockzo is approached by the Tribunal; they hire Dr. Rockzo to gather information about Dethklok from the inside. Rockzo succeeds in taking numerous pictures of Mordhaus, but is forced to flee when Ofdensen catches him opening a safe in the manager's office. Later, in "Cleanzo", Rockzo convinces Toki to take him in, with the other band members deciding to get rid of him by sending him to be rehabilitated by Rikki Kixx.

In "Snakes N' Barrels II", Leonard Rockstein has been sober for two months and he now does speeches about sobriety in Rikki Kixx's rehabilitation center and dresses like a normal person, as he refers to his "Dr. Rockzo" persona as the source of his drug abuse and had to rid himself of it. He is chosen to host Rikki Kixx's SOBERTOWN USA No Drugs Allowed Sober Rock and Roll Show where in the middle of his opening speech, where he begins going into withdrawal. Rockstein hides backstage, where upon discovering a stash of cocaine he relapses back into Rockzo.

Rockzo seems to be a parody of various events and persons. According to Brendon Small, Dr. Rockzo was supposed to be an amalgam of every kind of front man from the hard-rock era, including Paul Stanley, Axl Rose, and Bret Michaels. Eventually the animators made him resemble David Lee Roth. During the beginning of the episode "Cleanzo", Dr. Rockzo is seen in his underwear struggling to eat a cheeseburger, a parody of an incident involving David Hasselhoff. Another perceived source of inspiration may be front man, Jason McMaster, of Dangerous Toys. Rockzo's consonant stutter is very similar to the "G-G-G-G-G-G-Gimme' No Lip" heard on the band's Hellacious Acres album. The album's cover even features a demonic clown on the front.

Dethklok Minute Host

• Voiced by: Tommy Blacha

The Dethklok Minute focuses on Dethklok's usual celebrity stunts such as TV appearances, movies, romances, rumors, and so on. The right side of the host's face is disfigured when a meteor fragment strikes his studio at the end of "P.R. Pickles," but it hasn't dampened his enthusiasm about reporting on Dethklok's activities. Prior to being maimed by the meteor fragment, the character bore a strong resemblance to Mark McGrath.

Pickles' Family

• Voiced by: Laraine Newman (Molly) and Mark Hamill (Calvert), and Brendon Small (Seth)

Both of Pickles' parents and his brother appear twice in the series. His parents are Calvert and Molly. They reside in Tomahawk, Wisconsin. Pickles' older brother Seth, who Calvert and Molly favor despite the fact that he lives in their garage, and later in a "house room" in their attic, is an ex-con, and has no known job. Seth constantly tries to make money off of Pickles' fame, even threatening Pickles with identity theft. The Tribunal refers to Seth as Pickles older brother in "Dethfam", however Seth calls Pickles his "big brother" in "Dethwedding", though he is most likely the eldest brother in the family.

They first appear in "Dethfam," visiting along with the rest of Dethklok's family. They return in "Dethwedding," where Seth invites Dethklok to his wedding in order to further leech off of Pickles' wealth. After Pickles gives him a blender as a wedding gift, he curses his brother out on stage; Pickles responds by severely beating him. Pickles feels bad about this later and wants to get his brother a job, so Ofdensen gives him the dangerous job of running Dethklok's Australian headquarters. The country quickly plummets into chaos as Seth uses national resources to protect himself from assassination attempts. He is last seen staring out of a skyscraper at a burning Sydney while cradling his baby, but for some reason the baby has eyes that are glowing white.

Toki's Family

Toki's parents are Anja and the Reverend Aslaug Wartooth, two extremely religious people who never speak, smile, or show any emotion whatsoever (they do briefly scream in a music video, however, and Aslaug is shown holding Toki's guitar in the studio). They live in an abandoned village near Lillehammer, Norway. In "Dethkids," Toki has a flashback to his childhood, in which his mother slaps him for no reason.

In "Dethdad" Toki finds out that his father is dying of cancer. He and the rest of the band travel to Norway and Toki faces his traumatic past. Several flashbacks are shown including Toki carrying a huge box of fish up a hill, walking in on his parents having sex, sitting shirtless with bloody gashes all over his back and upper arms (from his father flogging him), and hanging with his arms in shackles on a wall—giving another glimpse into Toki's extremely abusive childhood. After running away briefly, Nathan, Pickles, Skwisgaar, and Murderface search for him. He finally faces his fears and reconciles with his dying father whose last request is to see the house what he was born in, which is at the top of a large steep hill. Toki carries his father up to the steps of the house (the rest of the band refused to help, Murderface stating "ixnay on the canceray contagiousay" because he thinks cancer is contagious and thus preferring to wait in the snowmobile), but Toki slips on the ice-covered stairs and drops him down the hill. Aslaug slides down the hill and breaks through the ice covering a lake at the bottom. Toki rushes to save him, but it is too late, and he is forced to watch through the ice as his father drowns and freezes to death, and sinks to the bottom of the lake. Unintentionally adding insult to injury, Murderface throws a cherry bomb into the snow and the small hill collapses, destroying the home that Aslaug Wartooth grew up in.

Dr. Johnathan Twinkletits

• Voiced by: Brendon Small

Dr. Johnathan Twinkletits (pronounced twink-LET-its, deliberately avoiding the obvious pronunciation) is an insane band therapist, and parody of performance coach Phil Towle and producer Bob Rock. He was formerly a member of a band known as the Amazelingtons, who he killed, and is seen calling his deceased bandmates and telling them he is in Dethklok despite being fully aware of this fact.

He is hired in "Performanceklok" to keep Dethklok from having another fight on-stage. He awards the band members with banana stickers for good behavior. After Nathan figures out that the band can simply buy banana stickers as psychological validation and fires Twinkletits, he attempts to kill them. However, he slips on a banana sticker and falls into Mordhaus' front yard before he can do anything. He survives the long fall, but is attacked by the "yard wolves." As shown in "Cleanzo," he survives the wolves, but his arms have been replaced with mechanical prosthetics, and further cybernetic enhancements are indicated by the slight metallic tinge to his voice after his reappearance. He helps Toki intervene in Dr. Rockzo's life and wean him off cocaine.

Snakes N' Barrels

Snakes N' Barrels (SnB) is Pickles' first band, all of whom (aside from Pickles) fell on hard times after Pickles went to Dethklok. When they hold a reunion tour with Pickles, they are driven insane by the military-developed drug "Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake" with Pickles unaffected due to years of severe drug and alcohol abuse rendering him "immune to just about every kind of drug". According to Murderface, during the concert the other members were "clawing [their] eyes out" and "throwing up acid blood". While the rest of Dethklok doesn't like the band's music, they change their minds after hearing the brutal reunion concert.

In Snakes N' Barrels II the band returned to normal and reunites again but this time without Pickles and they replace him with Rikki Kixx who helped them rehabilitate due to the intended purpose of "Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake" as a mind control drug. They put a restraining order against Pickles after Rikki Kixx tells them that he is the reason why they keep doing drugs. This makes Pickles furious and decides to go to L.A to sneak into the "SOBERTOWN USA No Drugs Allowed Sober Rock and Roll Show" where SnB is headlining. In an awkward confrontation, Pickles' former bandmates explain how sobriety has benefited them—however, they all appear just as sick and overweight as before, and their voices are listless and vacant. Convinced his band has been brainwashed, Pickles attempts to remind them of their former glory days, but is interrupted by Rikki Kixx and a security guard, who takes Pickles into custody so the band can go perform. SnB takes the stage and begins to play, but the strobe lights and high adrenaline of performance triggers the more dangerous effects of the "Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake", causing ghost snakes to come out of every orifice of their bodies and making their drug hallucinations visible to the audience members. Some are apparently killed by the monstrous visions, while others start frantically drinking or taking drugs to stave off the spectres. Pickles takes advantage of the chaos to break free of his guard, rush the stage, and attack Kixx. The concert, irreversibly interrupted by Dr. Rockzo's emergence onstage, dissolves into a chaos of violence and substance abuse, and it appears that the venue itself sustains major damage in the riot. Despite the circulation of fanbase rumors to the contrary, there is no verifiable evidence of Snakes N' Barrels' death during the aftermath of the concert. The name of the band is a reference to the band Guns N' Roses, though the band themselves are a comment on numerous bands, from their drastic physical changes to their poverty in later life (with the exception of Pickles).

Antonio "Tony" DiMarco Thunderbottom

• Voiced by: Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott

Antonio "Tony" DiMarco Thunderbottom is the bassist. He is a former alcoholic and drug addict turned sober. His signature top hat is reminiscent of Slash from Guns N' Roses, though his long hair and accent is a subtle representation of Mick Mars. When the band reunites, they presumably do so in his house; he is reluctant to turn his amplifier on due to electricity costs.

Sammy "Candynose" Twinskins

• Voiced by: Nevermore singer Warrel Dane

Sammy "Candynose" Twinskins is the drummer. He was formerly addicted to crack cocaine, but has since become sober. A young Candynose looks very much like Poison drummer Rikki Rockett.

Snizzy "Snazz" Bullets

• Voiced by: former Nevermore guitarist Steve Smyth

Snizzy "Snazz" Bullets is the rhythm guitar player. He suffers from partial facial paralysis due to hallucinogens and heroin abuse. He later invented a strapless guitar that functions as a girdle, known as a "g-girdle-uitar". The younger Bullets bears a strong resemblance to Joe Perry of Aerosmith. The older Bullets is bald, and bears the scars from a botched hair transplant on his head.

Rikki Kixx

• Voiced by: Mike Patton

Rikki Kixx (most likely a parody of Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and glam rock band Kix) is Pickles' replacement in the band in Snake 'n Barrels II and is the de facto leader as well as the episode's villain. It's revealed during a conversation with his aide that he hates the "living hell" that is sobriety, and that if he can't do drugs then nobody can. He then kills the aide by strangling him, to ensure that nobody knows his ulterior motive for endorsing sobriety. During the opening act of the SOBERTOWN USA concert, Kixx has Pickles detained by security. Pickles later escapes the guard and rushes Kixx on stage. Kixx was then brutally beaten by Pickles as the concernt degenerated into chaos. it is unknown at this time if he survived the beating.

President of the United States

• Voiced by: Mark Hamill

The President of the United States is a middle-aged bald man first seen in the second season opener "Dethecution". After the attack on Dethklok in the Gulf of Danzig and their withdrawal from the public spotlight, the President's approval rating drops to 15% as the public expects him to bring the band back to the public. He broadcasts an announcement on national television where he blows part of his face off with a shotgun, and is later seen with his mouth partly stitched back together.

He is mentioned, but not seen, in "Dethgov"; Ofdensen mentions the President would appreciate it if Nathan Explosion would say something to keep the angry mobs in Florida from killing Governor Kip Slaughter.

The President is seen again in "Black Fire Upon Us", where he appoints General Crozier as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The Revengencers

The Revengencers is an anti-Dethklok terrorist group formed by Edgar Jomfru and the Metal Masked Assassin in an attempt to exact revenge against Dethklok for the pain they have caused them (both their younger brothers were killed by Dethklok's minions). The third member is an unnamed teen who had been imprisoned by Dethklok forces for illegally downloading their music. The teen wears a mask made from the remnants of Eric Jomfru's face.

The Revengencers are first mentioned in the episode "Dethwedding" as being responsible for the assassination of the head of Dethklok Australia, and presumably the multiple attempts on Seth's life. They make their debut in "The Revengencers," bombing several Duncan Hills Coffee shops (which Duncan Hills blames on gas leaks). They attempt to kill Dethklok during a benefit performance for people who have been disfigured by the Duncan Hills bombings. Their attempt is derailed by the disfigured patients, who protect the band from the attack. In "Dethrelease" they make their most devastating attack on Dethklok yet by raising an army of brainwashed Dethklok fans and attacking Mordhaus directly with a secret weapon. The heroics of each band member are displayed as they survive the attack and win the battle, but Mordhaus is left burning to the ground, and Ofdensen is seriously injured in the cliffhanger ending.

Metal Masked Assassin

• Voiced by George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher

The Metal Masked Assassin is the brother of Agent 216, who Crozier had sent to kill Dethklok in "Murdering Outside The Box." He is a mysterious psychopath who wears a metal mask and regularly dismembers people hanging from hooks (a reference to the song "Meat Hook Sodomy" by Corpsegrinder's band Cannibal Corpse), apparently while they are still alive. General Crozier recruits him for the assault on the Dethwater concert, allowing him an opportunity to avenge his brother's death while still serving the purposes of Crozier and Cardinal Ravenwood. During the band's escape from the concert attack, the Assassin is able to separate Skwisgaar and Toki from the rest of the group. As he prepares to kill the guitarists, he is intercepted by Ofdensen. After a short bout of hand and knife combat, he is quickly overcome by Ofdensen, whose strength he had underestimated. His knife-wielding arm is broken and twisted to stab him in the kidney with his own weapon, and he is kicked into the freezing water nearby.

The Metal-Masked Assassin returns as the principle villain of the 2nd Season, allowing General Crozier to recede into an observer's role, and possibly change his ultimate purpose in the plot. He makes his first re-appearance in the episode "Dethvengeance," wearing a metal brace on the elbow that Ofdensen broke. With a new awareness of Ofdensen's presence as the protector of Dethklok, and bearing a hefty grudge from their previous encounter, the Assassin wants the CFO dead—knowing that this would make Dethklok much easier to eliminate.

In "The Revengencers", he expresses a consuming hatred for Ofdensen, which seems to overshadow his initial mission of destroying Dethklok. He wants to make an example of him, likely in retribution for the murder of his brother and for his own defeat and injury in Poland, and ultimately kill him first and foremost. During Dethklok's concert at St. Necrophagist, he kills a Klokateer guard and steals his hood in order to take Ofdensen by surprise. Caught unaware, Ofdensen grapples briefly with the Assassin before he is overpowered and thrown out an upper-story window —- Ofdensen lands on his feet, however, apparently unharmed. The Assassin then retrieves his other conspirators and makes an escape before Dethklok's enraged fans can overcome them.

In "Black Fire Upon Us", we learn that Ofdensen himself has been searching for the Assassin, who has so far eluded all the intelligence and surveillance at the CFO's disposal. Having built up an army of Revengencers, the Assassin leads the assault on Mordhaus itself, during the CD release party for the band's new album. He personally fires the sonic cannon that brings Mordhaus' shields down and sets the house ablaze. Ofdensen leads the counterstrike with a team of elite Klokateer soldiers, destroying the weapon himself as his soldiers fight with the Revengencer forces. The Assassin commandeers one of the Dethsoldiers' hoverbikes and gives chase as Ofdensen makes an escape, possibly to draw the Assassin away from the rest of his army. After Ofdensen is shot off down by the Death Mask teenager, the Assassin proceeds to brutally beat the manager, promising him indefinite torture. This is put to a stop by Nathan Explosion, who clubs the Assassin from behind with a flaming wooden beam, knocking him down with one blow. Given what has been shown of the Assassin's strength and stamina, it is possible that only a blow of killing strength could have knocked him down. The episode ends without the viewer knowing if either the Assassin or Ofdensen is dead or just unconscious, however the season 3 premiere "RenevationKlok" reveals Ofdensen has survived but gives no indication to the Assassin's fate.

Edgar Jomfru

• Voiced by: Brendon Small

Wheelchair ridden Edgar Jomfru ("Jomfru" meaning virgin in Danish) and his brother Eric (voiced by Tommy Blacha) are introduced as the proprietors of diefordethklok.com, the largest Dethklok fan site. In their greed, they attempt to blackmail Dethklok into paying for good reviews on their site by secretly recording an exclusive one-time only song, "Fansong", played by Dethklok during their annual fan day. Their scheme fails miserably when the two brothers are lured into a sniper-filled hallway by Ofdensen. Eric is killed instantly, his head blown off and the remnants of his face scattered on his brother, while Edgar, remembering Ofdensen's cryptic advice regarding how to cross the narrow corridor beforehand, survives, only to be promptly imprisoned inside the band's dungeon.

Edgar returns in the 2nd Season as the secondary villain of the Season (the Metal-Masked Assassin acting as the main villain). The shock of his brother's death, as well as the brutal torture inflicted upon him by the band's minions, drives Edgar insane: having recovered the remains of his brother's face from the incident, he makes them into a mask for a fellow imprisoned fan who is put into his cell, even referring to the teen as his brother upon doing so. 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 the Metal Masked Assassin after escaping through the sewage system. He and the assassin start the Revengencers and begin orchestrating terrorist attacks on different Dethklok-related places. The Tribunal describes Edgar as the brains behind the terrorist attacks. He has his nose bitten off by a Dethklok fan while attempting to assassinate Nathan, in the episode "The Revengencers" aka "Sicklok".

In "Black Fire Upon Us", Edgar masterminds the attack on Mordhaus and even infiltrates Mordhaus himself to personally kill Dethklok. He corners Skwisgaar and Pickles in their secret vault and prepares to shoot them with a shotgun. As he prepares to shoot them, he flashes back to all the years he and his brother spent as avid Dethklok fans. He lowers his gun as he is unable to kill what were once his idols. Immediately thereafter, a Klokateer kicks his wheelchair over and starts beating him with a night stick. His fate after this is unclear.

The Teenager

• Voiced by: Tommy Blacha

In "Dethvengance", a teenager is imprisoned and tortured by Klokateers after illegally downloading Dethklok music. There he meets Edgar, who makes him wear a mask made of Eric Jomfru's face (a reference to 'Dead Skin Mask' by the band Slayer) and refers to him as his brother. Edgar ties him to his back and escapes from Mordhaus. He joins the Revengencers with Edgar, never speaking and obeying Edgar without question. He participates in the attack on Mordhaus by shooting Ofdensen with a crossbow as he is chased by Metal Masked Assassin. Shortly thereafter he is hit in the head by the butt of a rifle by General Crozier. It is unknown if this knocked him unconscious or snapped his neck.

Lavona Succuboso

• Voiced by: Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy

Lavona Succuboso leads the group "Succuboso Explosion", an extremist faction of women devoted to capturing Nathan Explosion and bearing his children, creating a race of warriors that will conquer the world. Their mantra is "We are the vessels that hold the future." They use a device called the "loin extractor" which is a harpoon-like projectile that attaches to the target's crotch and electrocutes them. It is unknown how the device actually "extracts" the loins, but when Lavona fired the weapon at Nathan during a concert, Murderface jumped in the way and was hit instead. Although the weapon did not actually hit Murderface's crotch, just his bass, he was mildly shocked and a charge was shot back through the weapon which sent Lavona flying completely out of the concert arena.

In "Black Fire Upon Us", Lavona and her followers have allied themselves with the Revengencers to help them attack Mordhaus during their CD release party. She made an agreement with Edgar Jomfru that she would get to have her way with Nathan before he is killed. She makes her way to the roof as Mordhaus burns and meets Nathan and a passed out Toki. She first attacks him, all the while making cryptic comments about having previously met Nathan, but is easily overpowered, causing her to kiss Nathan to get his guard down. She then knees him in the crotch and pulls out the "loin extractor" to finally complete her task. Before she can fire, Toki smashes his liquor bottle over her head, knocking her out. It is unclear whether or not she escaped the inferno of Mordhaus alive.

One Time Characters

Mustakrakish

• Voiced by: James Hetfield of Metallica.

Mustakrakish, an ancient troll that appears to be at least 50 feet tall, appeared in the episode "Dethtroll" after Dethklok accidentally summoned him using a song whos lyrics were made from a Finnish book of Necromantic spells. After his summoning, he ravaged Finland, shutting down electricity and lowering Dethklok's album sales. After going to a nearby bar, they acquire acoustic instruments to attempt to put Mustakrakish back to sleep. Knowing Dethklok's luck, they fail at this. In a last ditch effort, the band throws their Dethphones at the troll, which fall quite short of their target. Murderface was so enraged by the loud noises the troll was making, he lobbed his Dethphone into Mustakrakish's mouth. Mustakrakish swallowed it and was thrown into a rampage of pain, clawing himself to death and eventually falling on live power-lines while trying to get the spiked phone out of his body.
