Mad Alchemist

**Edmund Gareth**, also known as the **Mad Alchemist**, is an official character that is could be happen appeareance in the Brutal Fists as the final boss, otherwise appear in series onces.

## Inspirations

He's like a combination of Shang Tsung and Rugal Bernstein in terms of villainy, goals, and powers beyond comprehension. He's especially like Shang Tsung, since he's a traitorous asshole like he is (he backstabs Ogoleithus so he can be a god) and he seems to be Shang Tsung if Shang was an alchemist instead of a sorceror. The only thing differating him form Shang Tsung is the fact that he can't shapeshift. He also has shades of Rugal in that he clearly set up that tournament to find the best fighters to use as energy source for an army of homunculi he's trying to build (Rugal set up the King of Fighters tournament so he can find the best fighters to turn into his liquid metal trophies, however).

The grenade bursts and the screen starts turning into a blueish-purple color and begans to distort into another scene where the Statue of Liberty is replaced with a statue of Mad Alchemist himself posing like the statue and the sky has turned red.

## Trivia

* Also, about him being voiced by Ron Perlman. I haven't heard Ron sound British before by I would love to see him try a British voice for this guy, since Edmund is a Britishman after all (Edmund was around during 16th century London). Imagine how awesome that would be to hear that!
