Renzo

**Renzo** is the main antagonist of Farzar. He is the corrupt and villainous czar of Dome City, who uses brainwashing propaganda to control the citizens into voting for him and murders anyone who votes against him. He is the husband of Queen Flammy and the father of Prince Fichael. He is voiced by the late Lance Reddick.

## Biography

### Rise to Power

   Over 30 years ago, Renzo ventured out through outer space with an army of humans to find a new planet to colonize. It is unknown what planet they originated from or why they felt the need to leave. Nevertheless, he discovered the planet Farzar and decided to make this his new home. The only issue is there were already tons of alien natives who lived there. Renzo and his people massacred their people, stole their goods, and raped their land. Bazarack, the leader of the aliens, waged a war upon Renzo but ultimately, Renzo reigned victorious.

   Following the colonization of Farzar, a colossal golden city called Dome City was constructed there. Renzo would marry the leader of Dome City, Queen Flammy, not because he was attracted to her but because he wanted to gain power. Upon their marriage, Renzo became the czar of Dome City and created an energy dome around the city which blocked out all of the aliens from entering.

Renzo would also lie about what happened between him and Bazarack and tell the people of Farzar a twisted story of Bazarack and the aliens as being pure evil and himself being a godlike Mary Sue, who never did anything wrong or morally unethical to the alien people.

   Renzo was a very dictatorial czar of Dome City, who did tons of terrible things as leader. Renzo would brainwash people into voting for him with propaganda, keep people happy by putting antidepressants in the water supply, and install nerve gas cannons in the voting booths that go off for people who vote against him, censor artwork and creativity, force his own royal servants to kill themselves for frivolous reasons, lie about history in schools, and have anybody who thinks negatively of him getting arrested or even murdered.

### Fatherhood

    Renzo and Flammy would have Fichael as their one and only child. Renzo loved Fichael dearly but was an awful parent. Throughout his childhood, Renzo would psychologically and verbally abuse his Fichael by insulting him and lying to him. However, he would still gaslighting him into thinking he had a good childhood by using a memory gun on him, to implant false memories in his brain of him actually being a good father. This helped to give Fichael a positive perception of him and be more forgiving of his true character, this being a complete piece of fucking shit asshole bastard.

Renzo couldn't be too mean to Fichael, however, since he needed to maintain his marriage to Flammy, who actually loved their son and respected him the way a mother should, albeit spoiling him a little with royalty and riches. Renzo knew that if he expressed his true hatred toward Fichael, Flammy would be appalled and most likely divorce him, losing him the throne and depriving him of complete and total power over Dome City. With that, Renzo would put up with Fichael's idiotic and moronic bullshit in order to keep his dictatorship nice and stable.

### Current Life

    In "Welcome to Farzar", on the date of Fichael's 30th Birthday, Renzo was asked, once again, by Fichael if he could, at last, finally become a general, after having this same conversation every year prior. As per the use, Renzo rejected this and began to tell Fichael the truth, that he'd never get to become a general on account of him being a total dweeb, before Flammy glared at him in disapproval, forcing Renzo to hold his tongue and instead grant Fichael his one birthday wish. Renzo finally canonized Fichael as the general of his own adequately-sized army platoon, much to his son's elation.

The team Renzo threw together, he called the Special Hostile Assault Team (or "S.H.A.T."), a not-so-subtle slight that went right over Fichael's head and aside from Fichael, himself, was composed of Scootie, Val Skullcruncher, Mal Skullcruncher, Barry Barris, and Billy. Renzo's first order for S.H.A.T. was telling them to venture forth and collect rocks for his koi pond but when Mal saw through his bullshit assignment, Fichael went to him and demanded to be tasked with a more pressing matter, preferably killing Bazarack. Renzo was sorely opposed to this, knowing an endeavor this dangerous could get Fichael killed, which would lead to Flammy divorcing him. After he noticed how Renzo only cared about his well being, ultimately for himself, Fichael decided to defy orders completely and leave Dome City with the goal of killing Bazarack.

Fichael's journey to the Netherlands proved completely fruitless as the map Scootie used to guide him led him in a circle all the way back to Dome City. The map Scootie used just had a bunch of drawings of boobies on it. Scootie admitted that Renzo bribed him with snuffle snarts to mislead Fichael away from Bazarack. Fichael was disappointed with Scootie for lying to him but there wasn't much time to argue as Bazarack's minions kidnapped them and took them to his kingdom anyway.

    At this time, Renzo was in his room, having painful sex with Flammy, that caused his crotch to light on fire. When Barry alerted Renzo to the kidnapping of his son, Renzo was horrified but wanted to keep Flammy blissfully unaware of this so he locked her in the closet and told her that she was shopping at Costco. However, Renzo did very little to help his son, mostly just sitting around in the meeting room and getting suggestions from the other top scientists of Dome City on what to do.

    In Bazarack's kingdom, Bazarack explained to Fichael that his father was actually the true villain of the situation, which Fichael refused to believe. However, Bazarack went on to detail how Renzo was not a native of Farzar and actually stole the land from him and the other alien people. Fichael tried to deny this but Scootie, Val, and Billy all admittedly confirmed that this was unfortunately the dark truth behind Dome City and that Renzo just lies to Dome City with false propaganda, censorship of the media, and historically inaccurate textbooks in his school systems. Fichael's entire world started to deteriorate around him, when he started to learn the truth about who Renzo really was but this wasn't all he learned about his father that day. Bazarack also included a few more dark and upsetting facts about his father, in the form of a broadway-style musical number. In it, Bazarack detailed how Renzo did the following; using alien corpses as sleds, playing volleyball with the severed heads of aliens, crucifying the aliens' pets, eating alien babies as food, stealing all of their riches to convert into a giant golden toilet, grinding elderly alien women into liquid to use as facial exfoliation, tying Meezo's dick into a knot, defecating in Gorpzorp's mailbox, punching Clitaris' wife Silah in the vagina, and worst of all, parking in a handicapped alien's reserved handicapped parking spot. Overall, it was clearly established that Renzo was without a shadow of a doubt, an evil asshole. Fichael was so blown away and heartbroken by this revelation but knew that he couldn't keep supporting his father, as that would make him the bad guy. So there was only one righteous thing he could do as an alternative; betray his father and join forces with Bazarack.

    Fichael used the wormhole watch to open a one-way portal to the castle of Dome City, where Renzo was. He was given the perfect shot to kill him but there, he heard Renzo explain to Barry that he was deeply worried about Fichael's well-being, not because he didn't want to give up the throne but because he loved his son, dearly. Fichael was moved by this and couldn't bring himself to kill his own dad. Fichael made a deal with Bazarack, proposing that instead of killing his father, he would try to convince him to be a nicer person and give the aliens the rights they deserved. Bazarack did not like this idea, insisting that Renzo was too close-minded and stupid to ever change for the better but nevertheless, Fichael severed Bazarack's head to present it to Renzo as a way of earning back his dad's respect. Fichael knew that Bazarack's race could regrow heads and just did this as a way to trick his dad.

    Fichael returned to Dome City with the head of Bazarack and Renzo could not have been more happy to see him. To boot, Renzo was very proud of his son for killing Bazarack and held a huge celebration for him. Fichael was not pleased with Renzo, however, saying that Bazarack told him the truth about what he did and said that he wanted to have a little talk with him about it. Renzo threatened Fichael, saying that if what Bazarack said is true, then he'd definitely not the kind of guy he should be messing with. After that, Renzo went to go play beach volleyball with the severed head of Bazarack.

## Appearance

Renzo is a dark-skinned African-American man with long blond hair and glorious abs with chiseled pecs. He wears a vibrant cyan V-shaped tiara as his royal crown that has a prominent glow to it. Additionally, he also wears a white short-sleeved crop top with golden sleeves and a blue cape, rimmed with a white fluffy trim, and held on with a golden X-band with a cyan diamond in the center. Along with that, he wears matching white pants with a golden belt and a cyan heart-shaped buckle right in his no-no square. His pants have three little claw marks ripped into the left leg, most likely displayed for emblazoning certified badassery. Lastly, he wears some golden kneepads with cyan crown shapes on them and matching golden boots to go with them.

## Personality

Renzo is the “elected” czar of Farzar. Everyone usually votes for Renzo because otherwise the voting booth fills with nerve gas. Renzo controls his people through propaganda and keeps them happy with antidepressants in the water supply. He is vain, narcissistic, and spends most of his day oiling up his pecs before making them dance. Renzo wants nothing more than to kill his nemesis, the leader of the aliens: Bazarack.

## Relationships

### Family

* **Fichael** - Renzo is the cold-hearted, disrespectful, and verbally abusive father of Fichael, who is completely unfit to be a good father at all. Renzo berates and belittles Fichael endlessly, spouting out a slew of hurtful compliments to him every chance he gets and it's clear that Renzo has absolutely zero faith in his son, showing no support in any of his hopes and dreams and most of the time, flat-out rejecting them. Renzo makes it very clear that the only reason he values keeping Fichael alive is because as his son, he's the only reason, he's even allowed to be the ruler of Dome City and if something were to happen to him, he'd likely get dethroned and reduced to commoner status, since technically, Renzo married into the royal family, with Flammy being the family member of true royal descent. (Having another child and getting rid of Fichael is out of the options, since Flammy is way too old to produce another child at this point.) This also means that occasionally, Renzo has to be nice to Fichael, to make Flammy think he's a good father to their son, worried that she'd divorce him if she really knew about what an asshole he was. Because of this, there are some good things Renzo does for Fichael, that he'd ideally never actually put himself through, such as granting Fichael military status for his birthday in "Welcome to Farzar" and going down to visit Fichael's reaper demon sanctuary in "Save the Reaper Demons". There have actually been a few short but sweet moments of genuine love between Renzo and Fichael, such as near the end of "*Welcome to Farzar*", Renzo confessed to Barry that he loves his son and doesn't want him to get hurt because he truly cares for him, denying that it's all because of political power. Renzo also respected and appreciated Fichael for decapitating Bazarack in that episode and threw him a huge party in honor of him. This was continued on in "Robot Revolution", when Renzo thanked Fichael by giving him his first dad hug. However, Renzo was more or less, still just as abusive and spiteful toward Fichael as ever before, even after gaining respect for him. Most notably, in "Memory Wars", a memory-induced flashback showed Renzo carrying Fichael as a baby and admitting to Barry that he loves his son but knows he's a terrible father, who has no idea how to raise him. Because of this, Renzo had Barry build him a memory gun, which he'd use to give Fichael tons of false memories of him being a good dad and doing things such as teaching him how to ride a bike, playing adoraball with him, and going on fishing trips with him. Fichael's brain being filled with all of these false memories of Renzo being a good dad explains why he continues to respect his father, even when he's being an abusive asshole, as Fichael will generally see this behavior as out-of-character behavior instead of his true personality. Up until the events of "'*Welcome to Farzar*", Fichael had no idea that his dad was evil until Bazarack enlightened him with a song about it. Since then, Fichael has been trying to convince Renzo to start treating the aliens with more respect but Renzo refuses to negotiate even slightly. This dynamic went into a total whirl in "War and Peace", when Rezno plotted to kill Bazarack and the aliens once and for all with his mecha robot and offered to have Fichael join him with his mecha robot so they could exterminate the entire alien race and rule Farzar as father and son. Fichael turned on Renzo and joined Bazarack instead, leading the a war between the two of them in their mecha robots. Ultimately, Fichael won this war and blew up Renzo's robot costume, supposedly killing him. Despite Fichael hating his father, Fichael was still heartbroken and miserable when Renzo died.
* **Flammy** - Renzo is the husband of Flammy and is completely repulsed by her for being old and disgusting. The only reason he married her was to obtain the throne and rule over Dome City. Renzo has to constantly put up with wild and kinky sexploits with Flammy, which are absolute torment for the poor soul. Renzo has to do things to make the sex with Flammy more bearable, such as having her wear a mask of himself in "Robot Revolution" or blindfolding himself in "Memory Wars". The only time Renzo was actually turned on by Flammy was in "Flammily Reunion", when Flammy killed her entire family and Renzo found this sexually arousing. Renzo still has to act like he loves Flammy and give in to her desires or else he'll lose the throne. This also includes showing respect for Fichael and supporting his dreams, even though he truly has no respect or faith in his son, whatsoever. Nevertheless, he has to pretend he likes Fichael or else Flammy will have his head, as seen in "Welcome to Farzar", when Renzo intially rejected Fichael's birthday wish to become a general before Flammy gave him a death glare and Renzo suddenly had a change of heart and officially deemed Fichael a war general.

### Friends

* **Barry Barris** - Renzo has a creat deal of respect for Barry, since he was the top mind on Farzar for a while. Renzo and Barry go way back, at least as far back as the birth of Fichael, as seen in a flashback "Baz, Bangs, and Brains", where Barry was the doctor, who delivered Fichael. Renzo has always relied on Barry for assistance with building machines to help him. In "Memory Wars", it was shown that Renzo had Barry build him a memory gun to help raise Fichael, shortly after the latter's birth. Even today, post-mental breakdowns, Renzo still prioritizes Barry as his go-to scientist, above anyone else, when requesting inventions and scientific procedures for his benefit. In "St. Pudchugger's Day", Renzo had Barry use a cloning machine to make sex clones of him to fuck Flammy so that he wouldn't have to. In "The Adventures of Daddy O'Baggins", Renzo got an abortion from Barry. In "*Baz, Bangs, & Brains*", Renzo enlisted Barry with building the Mega Brain to detect any negative thoughts people had about him. As much as Renzo respects Barry, he still thinks he's weird as fuck. In "*Baz, Bangs, & Brains*", Renzo was pretty thrown off when he read Barry's mind with a mind-reading helmet and heard the voices in Barry's head have a six-way orgy.
* **Zobo** - Renzo first met Zobo in "The Adventures of Daddy O'Baggins", when the latter walked in on him, while he was watching alien porn. Immediately, Renzo freaked and and choked him, being opposed to an alien being in Dome City. However, Zobo struck a deal with Renzo, saying that he'd take him down to a whorehouse to meet Tammy Tentacles in person, if he let him stay in Dome City. Renzo agreed to this and Zobo helped Renzo even further, by helping him sneak back into Dome City and get an abortion after Renzo got pregnant with Tammy's alien fetus. At the end of the episode, Renzo officially announced that despite his ban on aliens, he was making an exception in Zobo's case and letting him live in Dome City.
* **Scootie** - Renzo is one of Scootie's dealers. In "Welcome to Farzar", Renzo bribed Scootie with some snuffle snarts to sabotage Fichael's mission of finding Bazarack. Unfortunately, Renzo does not hold Scootie in high regards, believing him to be nothing more than an inferior being due to his status as a robot, as exemplified in "Robot Revolution". In fact, he even tried to have Scootie executed in that episode before finding out that he's technically 1% human, on account of his taint. Suddenly, Renzo gained a small iota of respect for him. In "St. Pudchugger's Day", Renzo was opposed to a robot playing him.
* **Flobby and Belzert** - Although Renzo is racist against all alien species, he considers Flobby and Belzert to be a credit to their people since they helped him to get an abortion in "The Adventures of Daddy O'Baggins". Because of how they benefited him personally, Renzo considers them good enough to live in Dome City.

### Enemies

* **Bazarack** - Renzo and Bazarack are a couple of ever-battling archenemies, who have wanted each other's deaths, even since the colonization of Farzar. Bazarack hates Renzo for stealing his land and vows to invade Dome City and have him killed. Renzo wants Bazarack murdered because he's one of the few alien menaces on Farzar that he has yet to eradicate and has failed to take him down for years. Currently, the war between the two has been more or less, pretty tame, as Renzo resigns in Dome City, which is completely protected by an impenetrable energy dome that Bazarack and his alien armada couldn't possibly break through. However, this doesn't stop Bazarack from making many unsuccessful attempts and breaking in. Bazarack also sends out many taunting messages to Renzo, such as having his alien minions spraypaint insulting words and offensive artwork on the energy dome for all to see. This always pisses Renzo off and drives him crazy. Still, it's clear that Renzo has the upper-hand, given how he lives high and mighty in the illustrious and ultimate Dome City, while Bazarack is forced to wallow and suffer in The Netherlands.

## Trivia

* Renzo is loosely based on *He-Man* from *Masters of the Universe*, one of Roger Black and Waco O'Guin's favorite cartoons, growing up.
* Renzo is prejudiced against alien people, treating them as subhuman and refusing them entry to Dome City. However, he's also sexually attracted to aliens, as seen in "The Adventures of Daddy O'Baggins", where he was shown watching alien porn.
* In "Save the Reaper Demons", Renzo admits to wearing women's deodorant.
* In "The Adventures of Daddy O'Baggins", Renzo occasionally suffers from asthma attacks and needs an inhaler.
* Renzo tells several jokes, where he references to other characters played by Lance Reddick:
	+ In "Robot Revolution", Renzo made one of his levels of bullshit "In my office now, McNulty.", referencing to his character of *Cedric Daniels* on *The Wire*.
	+ In "St. Pudchuggers Day", Renzo made a clone of himself, who happened to be *Agent Clappers* from *Paradise PD*, although he claimed that this guy sounded nothing like him.
* He is the Farzar counterpart of Gerald Fitzgerald from Paradise PD.
* Due to his voice actor Lance Reddick's death on March 17, 2023, it is currently unknown whether or not Renzo will return in Farzar's second season, especially considering the fact that Renzo was seemingly killed off in the first season finale. However, if Renzo does survive his injuries sustained in the battle with his son Fichael, he could be recasted with a new voice actor or it is entirely possible that Lance Reddick has already recorded his lines and will therefore appear in the second season posthumously.
