Colress

Colress is the co-leader of Team Plasma from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Team Plasma is the fifth of many evil teams in the Pokémon series who aim to generally be evil. In Team Plasma's case, it is a piracy organization under the guise of an animal rights group, with the goal of "liberating" Pokémon from their trainers in Pokémon Black and White and a more full-out eco-terrorist organization in B2W2. He also makes appearances in Pokémon Masters, PokéAni, Pokéspe and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. 
Unlike the majority of Pokemon villains, he is portrayed as more of an anti-hero with questionable morals more than someone who enjoys being evil for the sake of it. He is a fan favorite, though not too many fanworks exist which primarily focus on him.
