Lavernius Tucker

Captain Lavernius Tucker is a main character in Red vs. Blue and is voiced by Jason Saldaña. He is portrayed as the self-proclaimed ladies man of the Blue Team, although this trait is increasingly diminished with each subsequent season. He is a main character in most seasons, although he only makes a cameo appearance in Reconstruction and is absent during Season 9. Because of his part in the Chorus Civil War, however, he can be considered the main protagonist of the Chorus Trilogy.
==Biography==
Second-in-command and often clueless Bumbling Sidekick to Church, Tucker is the longest-serving of the surviving Blues at Blood Gulch and the main character of the Chorus Trilogy. As disinclined towards work or combat as Grif (he's actually the highest-ranking Blue as a Private First Class, but is happy to let Church take the reins), he repeatedly claims to be a "lover, not a fighter," and utters his Catchphrase at the first sign of a Double Entendre. He's somewhat juvenile in personality, offering pick-up lines to any females he isn't terrified of. He called dibs on Capt. Flowers' blue-green armor when the former died of an aspirin overdose. Tucker may or may not be black, and is quick to point out this shouldn't matter. Despite his reluctance to fight, Tucker's a great shot due to his keen eyesight (which developed because Church always hogs the sniper rifle).
Tucker's role in the plot is increased after he accidentally learns the secret about Red and Blue Command, prompting the hiring of Wyoming to assassinate Tucker before he can spread the news. After the "time travel" incident, Tucker stumbles upon an alien sword that can then only be wielded by him, supposedly proving he is "the chosen one" destined to save an alien race. This results in a failed quest, a dead alien, and Tucker's "impregnation" which culminates in Junior (see below). Tucker somehow manages to figure out Wyoming's temporal loop ability.
Tucker is Put on a Bus along with Donut and Doc sometime before Reconstruction, though an intercepted radio transmission at Command reveals that he's evidently out recovering something buried under some sand. He eventually makes his triumphant return in Recreation, by taking on a group of heavily armed Marines, Elites and a Freelancer Agent by himself (though said Freelancer turns out to be the leader of the Insurrection as opposed to the actual Connecticut).
Tucker is devastated by Church's desertion, and becomes one of the most prominent protagonists in the series in his stead in Season 12. He leads the Green Team in the New Republic, but his squad is reduced to one soldier by the second episode of the season. Tucker holds Church's actions against him when he returns mid-season, but the two eventually reconcile. At the end of Season 13, Church convinces Tucker to don Maine's armor, recovered by Hargrove, in an attempt to give the Reds and Blues a fighting chance against Charon's forces. By Season 15, Tucker's unofficially inherited Church's status as being the closest thing the series has to an overall protagonist.
