Rascal

**Rascal** is a character on *The Altered Adventure* Minecraft series. He débuts in the fourth episode of the second volume. He is voiced by Jordan.

## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

Rascal works for all the leaders of the Altered Universe as their servant. During the council meeting to discuss the Demon threatening the land, Rascal is summoned by King Alpha to take his wife, Queen Jen, to the hideout during the battle to keep her safe. He does as he's told and they stay there for the rest of the night.

After King Alpha's death, Rascal starts working for Inferno in the Nether. He finds a golden crown in the Fire Kingdom and shows it to his master. Inferno recognizes it as the King's Crown that must've fallen through the dimensions when the Demon broke free. He suggests that he gives it back to Voice and Witch, but Inferno takes it for himself as it might benefit him in the future. ("Origin")

Volume Two

Once again, the servant is later summoned by Inferno, but to assassinate Gizzy. He arrives at Higher Rank and prepares for his kill. ("The King of Altered")

Rascal enters Gizzy's home but doesn't see him. Instead, he sees that there has already been a murder for he sees Brayden's dead body on the ground. Nonetheless, Rascal awaits Gizzy upstairs. When he gets back from his stroll, Gizzy enters the house. He is horrified by Brayden's dead body. Gizzy hears someone upstairs and decides to inspect it. Rascal is confronted by Gizzy who is turning into a split personality. Rascal is alarmed by Gizzy's transformation and is captured by the split personality. He is later handed over to the Higher Rank guards and is imprisoned in jail.

The next day, Rascal is once again confronted by Gizzy, who doesn't remember what happened last night. He questions him about Brayden's death thinking that Rascal did it. Rascal admits that he was sent to kill Gizzy, but not to kill anyone else. When Gizzy realizes it was Commander Tayren that killed Brayden, Rascal asks him to free him from the cell, but Gizzy denies the request since he wanted to kill him. ("The Power Born")

Volume Three

Weeks later, Rascal is moved to an underground prison while Higher Rank's army march out of the city. With the village abandoned, Gizzy and Divine manage to sneak in and find Rascal still imprisoned. They ask for his help, requesting to know a place where Voice would go if he was in danger. Having been the king's servant, Rascal informs them about a secret hideout which was used by Alpha and his wife, Jen. The minion tells that the hideout is called the Broken Church and is most likely where Voice is. Using his valuable information as leverage, Rascal demands to be released from his cell. The two reluctantly agree, but realize that they don't have anything to mine the prison bars with. ("Haunted House")

Once they break Rascal out of the cell, the three journey to the Broken Church, with the former servant as their guide. They discover the immensity of the location and question why it's forgotten. Entering the main hall, the trio find Voice, hidden in the back of the church. Gizzy tries to persuade Voice into helping them unlock the Prophecy and defeat the Demon, instead of having to kill him to get the aura, but the Air Guardian isn't convinced that Gizzy is able to slay the Demon. During the chat, Witch teleports to them to warn them that Inferno is coming and plans to join forces with the Demon, who's also his father. In an attempt to make Gizzy kill Voice, Witch injures Divine, causing Gizzy to turn into his split personality. In this timeframe, Rascal gets away from the group and sees Voice dead, but doesn't know how. he scurries off to the forest only to be confronted by Inferno. His previous master blackmails him into delivering a message to Letvia about Voice's death or else he'll tell that Rascal killed Voice. The Fire Guardian tells him to make sure that Letvia knows that it was Gizzy who killed Voice. ("Hear My Voice")

Teleported by Inferno, Rascal arrives at the Water Kingdom to inform Letvia of the terrible news. Once he tells her of Voice's death and how he was murdered by Gizzy, Rascal tries to console her, saying that the Air Guardian was respected by everyone in the universe. Letvia questions him about how he and Inferno knew about Voice's death, but their conversation is cut short when the Water Guardian notices pirates approaching the kingdom. She attempts to contact the other Guardian with her communicator for aid, but to no avail. Without any backup, Letvia decides that herself and Rascal will have to take on the pirate on their own. The servant disapproves of her choice as neither of him are fighters, but the Water Guardian continues arming her defenses and preparing for battle. ("The Green Bloods")

Confronting the attackers at the entrance of the kingdom, the Water Guardian summons her Water Knights to defend the kingdom and stall for time until help comes. She orders Rascal to hide behind the pillar in the kingdom, saying that she has everything under control. The servant does as he's told and retreats into the castle. Once the battle is called off by the ressurected King Alpha, who is also the newest Earth Guardian, the Rebellion leaves the Water Kingdom, while their leader, Commander Tayren, is arrested for his crimes. Rascal regroups with Letvia, along with her two children, Vantor and Gail, who had arrived in the middle of the battle to protect their mother. When Letvia mentions the name Brayden, King Alpha's son, Tayren reveals that for killing two of his own guards and for being a power born, the commander murdered Brayden, not knowing he was the prince. Suddenly, Alpha swiftly grabs the sword of a dead soldier and slays Tayren with it, avenging his son's death. ("Guardians vs Rebellions")

In the aftermath of the battle, Inferno arrives to apologize to Letvia for not helping her in the fight, but she soon forgives him, learning of the signature agreement he made with Commander Tayren. With more important matters at stake, King Alpha reveals to the Water and Fire Guardian that he recently made a deal with Witch. In order to save Ratchet's life, Alpha agreed to make the magician the next Air Guardian. The Guardians then teleports to Cloud Temple to meet with Witch and host a ceremony for his enthronement, but before departing, Rascal asks if he can tag along to spectate the ritual, to which the group accepts. With Witch already there, the Guardians quickly get to the ceremony, but when Alpha grants the sorcerer the Air Element, he realizes that nothing happened. The Earth Guardian explains that when Gizzy picked up Voice's Aura, he inadvertently became the Air Guardian, later discovering that the aura is also the Air Element. Angered by his deception, Witch casts a spell which imprisons Alpha and Letvia within a Lucky Block cage to hinder their powers. As his father foresaw, Witch reveals his master plan to become the new king of Altered, with the Demon at his side, ruling the universe together. In order to achieve his goals, he must first obtain one of the four elements. Using Rascal's life by threatening to throw him into the void with magic, Witch asks Letvia for the Water Element. Not being able to handle the blood on her hands, she relinquishes the power to him, making him the Water Guardian. As for Rascal, Witch still decides to send the servant flying off the temple, killing him as penance for Alpha deceiving him in the first place. ("The Final Betrayal")

## Physical appearance

Rascal is of an unknown humanoid species that has crimson skin, blank white eyes and doesn't require food to live. On his chest and arms, and presumably on other parts of his body, bits of flesh have been removed, revealing his rib cage and other bones. For clothing, Rascal dons old gray rags for pants, but nothing else. He doesn't wear any shirt or any shoes, giving him the appearance of a poor, mistreated servant.

## Personality

Rascal is an honest and faithful servant to all of Altered. Rascal has been working as the king's servant for an unknown period of time and seemed to be loyal to him, and later became Inferno's servant once Alpha died, also being loyal to him. No matter who it is, he's shown loyalty and obedience to any powerful figure of the universe. Although he's not bound by any agreement, Rascal does as he's told without hesitation, even if it's something like murder. Rascal can be seen as cowardly and selfish at times, bargaining his own freedom with others in exchange for information, but his loyalty may come into question as he might divulge intel relating to his superiors. As a servant, Rascal may not have much self-esteem, but can still offer companionship to others, such as when Inferno referred to him as a "friend". He's shown to be trusted as he was told the location the Broken Church, but has also been called a "weasel" by Letvia, probably because of his cowardice. ("The Power Born", "Origin", "Haunted House", "The Spirit World")

After being imprisoned for a long time, Rascal's personality had somewhat changed, mostly referring to his loyalty. Once he confronted Inferno, he told him that he no longer feels like being his servant as he did nothing to help him and later tried replacing him with Yoshi. Rascal may have felt betrayal, causing him to breakdown and releasing him from his master's hold on him. However, he's later blackmailed by Inferno and forced to deliver a message to Letvia, making him somewhat of a servant again. ("Hear My Voice")
