Herobrine

Herobrine was the main antagonist of Fractures season 1. He first appeared in "The Struggle" and was voiced by Rainimator. 
He was a citizen of Gravehold, a miner with lightning powers in a town which hated magic. When the found out, they tried to execute him and hanged his innocent wife, while his daughter Abigail escaped with his sister-in-law. Driven mad, Herobrine's powers took ahold of him. He destroyed Gravehold and everybody in it before raising the dead into a zombie army. Then, Herobrine waged war on all humans for 14 years, driving them to near-extinction, before he was finally slain by Ceris.
== Design ==
Herobrine was an average height male with tanned skin, brown hair and glowing white (formerly dark blue) eyes. Underneath all his armor variations was a blue shirt and dark blue pants - just like the mythos variant of himself.
After the events of The Struggle, Herobrine would gain a grey scarf to cover his mouth and a coating of metallic armor to either cover or replace his right arm. Following We Are the Danger in turn, he would gain a chestplate near-identical to Glutton's; black with red trims.
==Story ==
Steve was an unassuming miner in Gravehold, a swamp town known for its fanatical persecution of magic. He was arrested after defending his wife and child from robbers and accidentally revealing his lightning powers. About to be executed, Steve lost control and wiped out Gravehold's leading soldiers before passing out. Horrified, Steve fled the next morning but found his wife's body hanging from a noose; despite her innocence, Gravehold had hanged her. In revenge, Steve decimated the whole village and turned the people into his undead soldiers.
Reincarnated as Herobrine, a ruthless and misanthropic undead lord, he waged war on all humans. The targeted the west snow biomes, as the cold climate ensured they would not burn in sunlight. Herobrine partnered with the and struggled to secure control of Glacierford, a village he turned into a strategic stronghold. The assassination of the Nether's nobility shattered the Nether, leaving Herobrine with no allies.
The , formed to protect the snow biomes from zombies, was led by Patrick Wynter after the death of its previous leader in We Are The Danger. Patrick was one of the few surviving soldiers of Gravehold. Years before, in Gravehold, Herobrine had given him his scar. Uniting with the , Patrick and the Frostbourne staged an ambush on Herobrine. Herobrine was easily defeated and decapitated by the Ender Matriarch, a formidable duelist.
The war was over. Without a master, the remaining undead would scatter. They were damned to mindlessly wander the earth and rot away or be subjugated by lesser undead lords.
Herobrine was one of the most powerful and influential figures in the history of the Overworld. His war brought humanity to the brink of extinction and involved all three dimensions. He inspired an even greater interdimensional war, one started by the King Naeus of the Nether. Naeus obtained and perfected Herobrine's powers and viewed the Nether's war as a continuation of the one Herobrine fought. Herobrine's daughter, Abigail Crysteffor, survived Gravehold to become the future Nether Princess and leader of a rebellion against Naeus.
==Personality ==
Before the events of the series, Herobrine was a family man and a quiet individual, willing to just live his life in peace. He was wary of the Witchbane's actions, and when caught, would approach death calmly. Through unknown events, he would snap, becoming the Undead King, feared by all.
The Herobrine left behind was egotistical and unreasonable, a powerful, destructive madman whose conquest was driven by his unjustified belief that he has a rightful claim on the dimension of which he dwells. He was undoubtedly insane: believing his power could overwhelm all of his foes, even the Ender Watchers, but he was surprisingly strategic in battle, turning losing battles in his favor. However, he recognized and feared the day if he is defeated, as it would ruin his chances of getting revenge.
He dreamt of his reign of terror establishing an iron rule of the Overworld, a world where all of mankind has fallen, and has dedicated his whole life to achieving his vision. Surprisingly, many had decided to follow him faithfully, such as Blackbone, likely with similar goals. 
== Skills ==
"He favors dual swords as his main weapon. He has the ability to manipulate lightning and imbue his weapons with shock capabilities. He can also dash short distances and teleport his way out of danger. However, his most powerful ability is to take control of the undead army and command them to his will." - Rainimator Lorebook
Herobrine was shown to be a very competent fighter with Swords, and was capable of performing acts of Electrokinesis from his hands or weapons in battle. He could teleport as well as control the Undead Army and bend them to his will. 
On a more civil note, Herobrine was a miner, which naturally comes with increased strength and precision. As well as this, he would hold a familiarity with making quick decisions in dangerous situations, allowing him to survive for nearly a decade unopposed.
