Kregg

> My name is General Kregg. You've survived your first true battle in proving yourself worthy of your Viltrumite heritage. (...) Your father will be executed, and you will return to Earth. You will assume his mission and prepare the planet for our rule. I know this may not appeal to you, given your sympathies, so I'll put it like this. You can kill a few humans to convince them to capitulate, or we will kill millions if we arrive to find you or your planet still defiant against us. We will check on your progress soon. And unlike your father, we do not change our minds. Good luck on your mission.

> Kregg's introduction to Invincible in It's Been A While

**Kregg** is a major antagonist in *Invincible*, serving from Season 2 and onward. He is a high-ranking Viltrumite general, dedicated to aiding in the Viltrumite mission to make it the only empire in the universe.

## History

Not much is known about Kregg's past other than he was born on the planet Viltrum and engaged in a bloody survival of the fittest called the "Great Purge" along with the rest of his race and was one of many to survive the war.

At an unknown point after their expansion, Kregg managed to work his way up to the rank of General in the Viltrum Army, in addition his right eye was wounded, and he was given a cybernetic eye to replace it.

### Kregg Meets Invincible

In 2023, after the big battle on Thraxa, Kregg was summoned by Lucan's call, and sent medics to transport him to a warship. Kregg watched over the unconscious Invincible, Nolan's son and after he awoke, congratulated Invincible's survival and performance against Thula, claiming that he was worthy of being a soldier of the Viltrum Empire.

When Invincible tried to curse him, Kregg simply punched him before wiping his blood off, telling him that Nolan would be executed for his failure and gave him his mission to prepare Earth for conquest. Kregg warned Invincible to convince the humans to completely submit and surrender, being aware that he was still aligned with Earth. Even if the total capitulation meant killing a few resisting humans; for if the viltrumite armada arrived and found him and/or the human species acting defiant, they wouldn't hesitate to slaughter millions. Before leaving, he wished him luck on his mission and made it clear that unlike Nolan, they would not have their minds changed.

## Physical Appearance

Kregg is a black haired male with a traditional viltrumite yet pencil mustache who wears the traditional plain white viltrumite uniform, and has one natural left blue eye along with a cybernetic right red eye.

## Personality

Kregg is a very practical and logical man. Unlike the more bloodthirsty Viltrumites like Conquest, Kregg is more of a soldier than a warrior. He also showed a level of understanding; being reasonable if not compassionate by trying to convince Mark that it was for the best if he conquers his world for the Viltrumites and doing so would spare his people unneeded suffering and pain. He also acknowledged that, having been born on earth and raised as a human, that Mark would find the task set before him to be unpleasant and emotionally taxing while never admonishing or remarking negatively on Mark or his heritage.
