Heracles Montrose

— Season 9, announcement from the Harrington Foundation
**Heracles Montrose** is a Chief Prosecutor of the prosecutor's office. During his first year as a prosecutor, he had a perfect win record in trials and was willing to do just about anything to get a guilty verdict for the defendant. He could be described as morally grey, holding values some may see as corrupt while he saw them as just. He had a strong desire for revenge, hoping to avenge his fallen father. He quit his job after the bizarre incidents regarding Uphlos, only to return with a fresh outlook on how he conducted his life. He later joined the Harrington Foundation, leading their investigative and legal department.

## Early Life

His early life is mostly a mystery. He is the only child of an unnamed couple, with his father being Jeffery Montrose's younger brother, making him a member of the Montrose family. Not much is known about his childhood other than the fact that he was once acquainted with Pholus Inow and Jerry Guts. Heracles had hoped to become a judge like his father, who he greatly admired. After his father's unexpected death, Heracles slowly grew bitter towards criminals and decided to become a prosecutor. He had lived with his mother for a few months before she decided to marry a wealthy politician from Britain and start a new family, leaving Heracles behind. As a result, he learnt how to take care of himself at a very young age.

He became a prosecuting prodigy in his late teens and slowly made his way through the branches of the legal world, eventually giving himself the status of a celebrity. All of this increased his ego exponentially. Heracles was able to identify his father's murderer, Omega Fat Fuck, who he hoped to prosecute as a means of revenge. He doesn't speak much of his childhood, though Jerry Guts implied he was a much brighter and lighthearted individual before the death of his father.

While he did lighten up a bit after the defeat of Uphlos, it's clear his past had a strong impact on his overall persona. He most likely won't ever go back to how he was as a child, though it can be argued that could be due to growing up.

## Pholusfan's Trial

Pholus Inow had coincidentally become a defense attorney and began his legal work in the August of 2000. Heracles heard rumors of a defense attorney who miraculously won their first case, with this being Pholus Inow, who had won a non guilty verdict in the trial of Jerry Guts. Pholus was later set to defend Pholusfan who had been accused of murdering Pholus's mentor, Mua Fey. Out of curiosity, Heracles contacted the prosecutor's office and became the trial's prosecutor.

Heracles had the upper hand throughout most of the trial. He was able to successfully provide a motive and shut down any possible alibi for Pholusfan. Disappointed in the legal ability of the defense, Heracles insulted both Pholus and his allies, to where it got personal and could even be described as harassment. In addition, Heracles was surprised to see Pholus's change in personality. However, an unexpected revelation was made during the arrival of a new witness, Bluee Black.

Pholus was able to pin the crime on Bluee Black, who had been present at the crime scene. Bluee Black's plan consisted of using a singular ant to carry a small stone statue onto a cabinet, which would then be dropped onto Mua Fey, successfully killing her. Heracles had no rebuttal to such a bizarre plan. Pholusfan was found not guilty, meaning Bluee Black was set to be executed by order of the government. Before the execution could take place, Bluee used an ant farm to terrorize the courtroom, resulting in an immediate evacuation. Bluee managed to run off to a local park.

Pholus chased down Bluee and found out more about his plan. Bluee used his money to buy an ant farm that resulted in the trial to end abruptly, letting him escape his crime freely. Pholus presented the shocking revelation to the courtroom which further solidified the notion that Bluee was the killer. Accepting defeat, Bluee had one last wish. He revealed that Pholus's assistant, Giga Fat Fucker, was his brother. Bluee wanted nothing but the best for his brother, and even went as far as to reveal that Giga Fat Fuck gained weight for his own sake. He wanted to give his brother one less farewell before he died. Bluee was later executed meaning Heracles lost a trial for the first time. Furthermore, Heracles, learning Giga Fat Fuck and Bluee Black were brothers, quickly deduced that they were the children of Omega Fat Fuck, **the culprit behind his father's death**.

Pholus and his friends celebrated their victory in the defendant's lobby. An upset Heracles unexpectedly attacked Giga Fat Fuck, severely injuring him. Heracles then insulted Pholus and claimed he wasn't the "hero he thinks he is". With both sides becoming increasingly aggressive, Heracles left the courtroom and wasn't seen until his next trial.

### Aftermath

Heracles spent his next few weeks going against Pholus Inow in court because of his relation to Giga Fat Fuck. Like their first trial together, Heracles often had the upper hand until some chaotic event took place, leaving him with no logical explanation as to how anyone else could be the culprit.

This all changed when Pholus suddenly commit suicide in the office.
