## Out-of-universe information

### Last appearance

*Hard Pill to Swallow (chronologically)**1 of a Kind (filler)*

**Herobrine** is the main antagonist of the first season of *Fractures*. He first appeared in *The Struggle* and is voiced by Rainimator.

During his life, Herobrine was once the ruler of the now-fallen  Undead. He is a necromancer who could control the undead, but could not rise the dead up from their graves. He used this ability to rise up hordes of undead and ravage the village of Glacierford, infecting its populace. Herobrine later allied with the Nether Horde in the battle for Glacierford to prevent the Frostbourne from retaking the village.

Herobrine was ultimately beheaded by Ceris after his party was stalled by Ser Patrick and ambushed by the Ender Watchers in *Goodbye* — his powers were later transferred to Naeus in *Hard Pill to Swallow*.

## Design

Herobrine is an average height male with tanned skin, brown hair and glowing white eyes. Underneath all his armor variations is 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.

### History

None know much about Herobrine's past, for it has never been mentioned, although he had a companion, Alex, and had a different appearance. Somewhere in his past, he was converted into a zombie, turning into an undead by unknown means. He became legendary, his story and conquest embedded deep into mythology, and became the ruler of the Undead.

## Fractures

### Season 1 - Herobrine's Revenge

#### *The Struggle*

Herobrine made his debut in The Struggle on his conquest for the Overworld. He is shown attacking Glacierford, immediately killing all members, including Kyle, whilst challenging him to a duel. Kyle charges valiantly at Herobrine, adamant at holding him back and protecting his home, but is successful in landing only a few hits. Herobrine, on the other hand, is able to injure Kyle and kill him by impaling him in the stomach with his Pickaxe, before continuing on after the survivors, leaving Kyle to bleed out on the ground helplessly.

He pursues the survivors through the Frostbourne Tundra, eventually catching up to them at nightfall, to which he personally kills Zach. He then duels viciously against Rain, but is gravely injured, unsuccessful in killing him, forcing him to teleport away via his pickaxe.

#### *We Are the Danger*

During We Are the Danger, Herobrine is advised by Blackbone that fighting the Frostbourne-Ender Watcher alliance was an ill fated plan, to which he orders him to "send a raven to the Pig King" in hopes of turning the tides of the battle. As Glacierford succumbs to the alliance's raid, Herobrine meets with the Horde's leaders to propose an alliance: Glutton, Scorch and a revived Abigail. The Horde are able to drive off the surviving Frostbourne, including Rain and his dragon, much to his satisfaction. Herobrine is now shown with a mask and arm guard however it is currently unknown why.

#### *Goodbye*

Herobrine isn't seen for the majority of Goodbye but after Ser Patrick and the bandits attack the Wither Camp, he is shown have been informed of the attack and rides to the camp to confront the Frostbourne alongside his reinforcements. He engages Patrick in a duel, succeeding in defeating him, thrusting a diamond Sword into his chest and landing a barrage of punches. However before he can kill Patrick, Lady Azura and Stella arrive from the End with the Ender Watchers and come to Patrick's aid. Ceris, whom he is shown to fear, then engages in fierce combat with Herobrine but he is no match, and eventually is beheaded.

### Season 2 - The Last Ender Watcher

#### *Hard Pill to Swallow*

During Hard Pill to Swallow, General Naeus and his Wither Skeletons, including Kralos, the Wither Knight, travel to the Wither Camp in order to retrieve Herobrine's head. Naeus, after a small fight with the Pigmen and their commander, takes his head back to the Nether. Naeus absorbs Herobrine's power before heading to fight the False Pig King.

## Personality

―Rainimator Lorebook

Herobrine is egotistical and unreasonable, a powerful, destructive madman whose conquest is driven by his unjustified belief that he has a rightful claim on the dimension of which he dwells. He is undoubtedly insane: believing his power can overwhelm all of his foes, even the Ender Watchers, but is surprisingly strategic in battle, turning losing battles in his favor. However, he recognizes and fears the day if he is defeated.

He dreams 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 have decided to follow him faithfully, such as Blackbone, but it is unknown why.

## 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 is shown to be a very competent fighter with Swords, and is capable of performing acts of Electrokinesis from his hands or weapons in battle. He can teleport as well as control the Undead Army and bend them to his will.

## Trivia

* Herobrine is loosely based on a *Minecraft* internet Creepypasta that circulated in 2010, and takes inspiration from many different aspects of Herobrine videos and mods on Youtube from 2014.
	+ His appearance in the Scrapped Prologue was shown to be a mix between the Creepypasta and Steve, the main playable character in *Minecraft*.
* Herobrine had previously appeared in multiple Radapedaxa videos, having his own story. However, to the contrary of popular belief, this series is not connected to the Fractures universe.
	+ Interestingly, the design used in *RAIDERS* would later be used in a promotional render and We Are the Danger.
* Herobrine was the first character to ever appear in the series, as well as the first Undead Human.
* Herobrine, alongside Blackbone, was one of the first characters to have been voiced.
	+ Herobrine is voiced by Rainimator himself, therefore sharing a voice actor with Kralos.
* Herobrine has the most named kills in the series, with seven to his name.
	+ However, five of these are indirect.
	+ All but one of his kills have also been revived, with two still remaining (Zach (who remains Zombified) and Rain).
* Herobrine's birthday is January 1st, making him the first birthday of the year.
	+ He shares his birth month with Lady Azura, who is born on January 19th.
	+ Herobrine, alongside Ceris and Ciara are the only characters who have birthdays on real world holidays.
		- Herobrine's birthday is New Year's Day, making him and Ceris the only two characters with birthdays on New Year's.
* A Prologue Episode was originally planned to explain how he rose to power as the Undead King, and was to feature himself and Alex.
	+ The promotional for the episode showed Herobrine with a dark blue pupil, which may mean that Herobrine was once a normal Human
	+ It is possible that he was influenced by the actions and possible fate of Alex, turning him into the person he was today.
	+ Said promotional, however, was scrapped for unknown reasons.
	+ Herobrine was the second male to be seen wearing a mask, and he was one of the three masked characters; preceded by Daryll and Ceris but preceding Doraine.
