!!!'''Appearances:''' ''WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlonAbutbul
An evil, tyrannical dictator who takes over Akiridion-5 and serves as the main antagonist of ''WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow''.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Nobody likes him and he doesn't care. He doesn't want his subjects' love or loyalty, just their obedience.
* AlienInvasion: Morando led a coup d'etat on his homeworld, and took over it for his own diabolical purposes. He also wants to invade Earth.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[spoiler:Upon merging with Gaylen's Core, Morando grows to massive proportions where he personally attacks Arcadia.]]
* BadBoss: When Krel and Aja escape, he kills the person that brought him the news.
* BigBad: He is the main reason that the main characters escaped to Earth and the one who directs the bounty hunters to hunt them.
* CollapsibleHelmet: He is seen wearing a helmet when he makes his introduction in the first episode, which he deactivates, causing it to disappear [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Star Lord]] style.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler:He manages to get a hold of Gaylen's core and become a god in the process. He, however, is destroyed before his power grows enough to recreate the universe as he planned.]]
* EvilIsPetty: He's the kind of tyrant to kill you for reasons like reporting bad news.
* EvilOverlord: He takes a very hard stance against the citizens of Akiridion-5; worship him or die.
* TheExile: Was exiled before his coup at the start of the series.
* ExtraEyes: Much like Vex, he has four eyes.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Whatever politeness he exudes does little to conceal the bastard that he is underneath.
* GalacticConquerer: Morando wants to make Akiridion-5 a galactic superpower with him at the helm.
* GodhoodSeeker: When he finds out that [[spoiler:[[{{God}} Gaylen's]] core is somewhere on Earth]], he changes his motives to getting it with the intent of becoming a god and remaking the universe in his image, killing the royals and ruling over Akiridion-5 becoming mere perks in comparison.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is, simply put, a massive and vicious asshole.
* KickTheDog: Plenty to count, but most significantly, he [[spoiler:blows up Buster]] into goop simply because "[he] hates bugs", when he was ''clearly'' trying to defend House Tarron and their friends; [[spoiler:Buster was no mere "bug", but family (especially to Luug, who mourned his unfortunate demise)]].
* KnightOfCerebus: He's a power-mad dictator whose overthrow of house Tarron and Akiridion-5 is played completely seriously, and his attempts at ending the royal family make him just as menacing.
* MagicPants: [[spoiler:His clothing grows alongside him after he becomes a PhysicalGod via merging with Gaylen's Core.]]
* ManipulativeBastard:
** [[spoiler:Convinced Varvatos to betray the House of Tarron by telling him that no one would be hurt. In fact, to make sure Varvatos accepted his offer, it was HIM that hired the Zeron Brotherhood to kill Varvatos' family, causing Varvatos to be bitter at the royals who refuse to give chase to the ones who did it.]]
** [[spoiler:Convinced Kubritz that he would NOT harm the Earth as long as he gets what he wants, and even gave her some weaponry to protect Earth. It takes him rampaging across Arcadia at the size of a kaiju to make her realize he's going to destroy Earth along with the rest of the universe.]]
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Compared to the humanoid Akiridions with the exception of Loth Soborian, Morando has a much more demonic and monstrous appearance, and with the top of his head shaped like a pair of horns.
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:In season 2, he plans on remaking the universe once he gets his hands on Gaylen's Core.]]
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:In "A Glorious End, Part 1", Morando absorbs Gaylon's core and transforms into a giant god-like alien monster that is unstoppable.]]
* OrcusOnHisThrone: In the first part of the series premiere, Morando is content to send bounty hunters after Krel and Aja while he solidifies his take-over of Akiridion-5 and builds new superweapons. [[spoiler:This changes when his attempt to broadcast the deaths of the royals fails, and he plans to head to Earth soon.]]
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: [[spoiler:After he's merged with Gaylen's Core, Morando is completely black, save for his eyes and neon lights, which have turned red at this point. He also gains red wings shaped like Gaylen's.]]
* SatanicArchetype: His primary color motif is deep, seething red, his head is shaped in a manner that evokes horn imagery, and his goal is to become a god and remake the universe in his own image. Morando's favorite cardinal sin seems to be treachery, as he betrayed his King and Queen to start a coupe and take the crown for himself under a fascist dictatorship, he convinced Varvatos to betray them for him ([[spoiler:even having engineered his family's death to make him more willing]]) and he promises to help Colonel Kubritz defend the Earth by providing advanced weaponry with every intention to destroy the Earth when he is done with it. Even Kubritz's Sergeant describes their deal with him as "a DealWithTheDevil."
* TheSociopath: A cruel, power-hungry dictator who is ChronicBackstabbingDisorder incarnate and is willing to pursue his goals at any cost, even if it means screwing over his allies in the process.
* UngratefulBastard: Despite him having committed high treason against House Tarron in the past, which is punishable by death, the King and Queen decided to have mercy on him by banishing him and the Taylon Phalanx from Akiridion-5 instead. How does he repay their grace? [[spoiler:By ordering the Zeron Brotherhood to bomb Sattelite-Nine, thus killing hundreds of innocents including Varvatos Vex's family, so he can use Varvatos to lower the shields while falsely promising him that everyone will be left unharmed.]] And when that's done, he takes over the planet, leading to the King and Queen's cores being put in stasis. He then sends bounty hunters to kill Aja and Krel and bring the King and Queen's cores to him so he can crush them, and therefore kill them.
* TheUsurper: An illegitimate ruler who usurped the righteous rulers of Akiridion-5.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Morando speaks in an odd, hard to identify accent (a fruit of his VA's hybrid accent, originated due to being an Israeli with French-Algerian and Egyptian ancestry).
* YouHaveFailedMe: He executes Tronos Madu for failing to take down the Royals.

[[folder:As a whole]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeronbrotherhood.jpg]]
A trio of ruthless bounty hunters who will stop at nothing to claim their prize, not even killing innocent civilians.
----
* {{Arc Villain}}s: The main antagonists for most of season one, with Morando remaining on Akiridion-5 (until he sends the OMEN in the finale).
* TheDreaded: Even ''Vex'' is wary about the thought of facing them.
* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler:Beta dies first due to being shot by Varvatos, then Omega is crushed by the Zerons' ship due to a bomb Varvatos planted on their ship. Finally, Alpha is stabbed by Varvatos after kidnapping him and taking him to the bounty hunters' outpost on the Moon.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite their evilness, they care deeply for each other and actually seek revenge for being hurt.
* TheHeavy: Morando is the one that commanded them to go after the royal aliens, but he is far away from Earth to actually act on anything, leaving the brotherhood to do most of the damage and be most of the problems faced by the royals.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While Morando is the one who launches the coup on Akiridion-5, Varvatos takes it personally with them for being responsible for the death of his family.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: The Zerons once bombed an entire civilian building, killing hundreds of innocent people, including Varvatos Vex's family, just to claim a single bounty. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that General Morando employed them to do so while hiding this from Varvatos, so he could manipulate him into lowering the shields of Akiridion-5.]]
* TerribleTrio: They are a group of three who work together to get their bounty, regardless of how many lives are ruined along the way.
* ThemeNaming: They are all named after Greek letters. The wolf is Alpha, the cat is Beta, and the lizard is Omega.
* TheUnfettered: Nothing will deter them from fulfilling their contract, even if that means they leave behind a high body count.

->'''Voiced by:''' Fiona Shaw
A mysterious birdlike bounty hunter who infiltrates Arcadia in order to hunt down the royals.
----
* BirdPeople: Halcon has several birdlike attributes such as flight, squawking when she speaks, and not being able to see glass. Her human disguise even uses "Birdie" as a nickname.
* ColdSniper: She is a deadly marksman who would've shot Krel's core out of his body had Dadblank not blocked her shot with his briefcase
* {{Flight}}: She is capable of flying at fast speeds despite lacking any wings.
* {{Foil}}: She is one to the Zeron Brotherhood in terms of how they pursue targets. While both are ruthless and willing to fulfill their contracts by any means necessary, the Zerons don't give a rat's ass about who or what gets in the way of collecting their money and are all too willing to destroy an entire civilized area just to take down one target, as shown by their bombing Commerce Guild that slew Vex's family. On the other hand, Halcon opts for the tactic of "research and destroy", studying her targets either from a distance or in disguise until she finds the right moment to strike.
** She is also a foil to Vex, as both of them are blue-colored aliens and lethal warriors armed with serrators who pose as elderly citizens on Earth. But while Vex is a noble-natured yet zealous warrior who takes time to understand human customs, Halcon adapts to Earth culture much faster, posing as a strict member of the special advisor to the school board who uses her deception to learn where the royals are hiding out.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: She gives Aja and Krel a ton of paperwork to fill out to prove they're U.S. citizens, but that's only so she can find out where they live to ambush them and take their parents' cores.
* RacistGrandma: Her human disguise comes off as this, being scathing and suspicious of Aja and Krel due to them clearly not being from the United States to the point where [[SternTeacher Senior Uhl]] tells her to lay off them

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's destroyed by being smashed between the two halves of his severed hammer.
* IShallTauntYou: According to Mother, ''all'' Cindorites are fond of "trash-talking". It's amplified with his LargeHam approach.

[[spoiler:By ordering the Zeron Brotherhood to bomb Sattelite-Nine, thus killing hundreds of innocents including Varvatos Vex's family, so he can use Varvatos to lower the shields while falsely promising him that everyone will be left unharmed.]] And when that's done, he takes over the planet, leading to the King and Queen's cores being put in stasis. He then sends bounty hunters to kill Aja and Krel and bring the King and Queen's cores to him so he can crush them, and therefore kill them.
* TheUsurper: An illegitimate ruler who usurped the righteous rulers of Akiridion-5.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Morando speaks in an odd, hard to identify accent (a fruit of his VA's hybrid accent, originated due to being an Israeli with French-Algerian and Egyptian ancestry).
* YouHaveFailedMe: He executes Tronos Madu for failing to take down the Royals.

!!Bounty Hunters
!!!The Zeron Brotherhood
[[folder:As a whole]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeronbrotherhood.jpg]]
A trio of ruthless bounty hunters who will stop at nothing to claim their prize, not even killing innocent civilians.
----
* {{Arc Villain}}s: The main antagonists for most of season one, with Morando remaining on Akiridion-5 (until he sends the OMEN in the finale).
* TheDreaded: Even ''Vex'' is wary about the thought of facing them.
* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler:Beta dies first due to being shot by Varvatos, then Omega is crushed by the Zerons' ship due to a bomb Varvatos planted on their ship. Finally, Alpha is stabbed by Varvatos after kidnapping him and taking him to the bounty hunters' outpost on the Moon.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite their evilness, they care deeply for each other and actually seek revenge for being hurt.
* TheHeavy: Morando is the one that commanded them to go after the royal aliens, but he is far away from Earth to actually act on anything, leaving the brotherhood to do most of the damage and be most of the problems faced by the royals.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While Morando is the one who launches the coup on Akiridion-5, Varvatos takes it personally with them for being responsible for the death of his family.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: The Zerons once bombed an entire civilian building, killing hundreds of innocent people, including Varvatos Vex's family, just to claim a single bounty. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that General Morando employed them to do so while hiding this from Varvatos, so he could manipulate him into lowering the shields of Akiridion-5.]]
* TerribleTrio: They are a group of three who work together to get their bounty, regardless of how many lives are ruined along the way.
* ThemeNaming: They are all named after Greek letters. The wolf is Alpha, the cat is Beta, and the lizard is Omega.
* TheUnfettered: Nothing will deter them from fulfilling their contract, even if that means they leave behind a high body count.

* TheLeader: Serves as this for the Zeron Brotherhood.
* ShoutOut: His design and clothing greatly resemble several depictions of [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Anubis]].

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ftc_snapshot_2810129.jpg]]
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow''
->'''Voiced by:''' Fiona Shaw
A mysterious birdlike bounty hunter who infiltrates Arcadia in order to hunt down the royals.
----
* BirdPeople: Halcon has several birdlike attributes such as flight, squawking when she speaks, and not being able to see glass. Her human disguise even uses "Birdie" as a nickname.
* ColdSniper: She is a deadly marksman who would've shot Krel's core out of his body had Dadblank not blocked her shot with his briefcase
* {{Flight}}: She is capable of flying at fast speeds despite lacking any wings.
* {{Foil}}: She is one to the Zeron Brotherhood in terms of how they pursue targets. While both are ruthless and willing to fulfill their contracts by any means necessary, the Zerons don't give a rat's ass about who or what gets in the way of collecting their money and are all too willing to destroy an entire civilized area just to take down one target, as shown by their bombing Commerce Guild that slew Vex's family. On the other hand, Halcon opts for the tactic of "research and destroy", studying her targets either from a distance or in disguise until she finds the right moment to strike.
** She is also a foil to Vex, as both of them are blue-colored aliens and lethal warriors armed with serrators who pose as elderly citizens on Earth. But while Vex is a noble-natured yet zealous warrior who takes time to understand human customs, Halcon adapts to Earth culture much faster, posing as a strict member of the special advisor to the school board who uses her deception to learn where the royals are hiding out.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: She gives Aja and Krel a ton of paperwork to fill out to prove they're U.S. citizens, but that's only so she can find out where they live to ambush them and take their parents' cores.
* RacistGrandma: Her human disguise comes off as this, being scathing and suspicious of Aja and Krel due to them clearly not being from the United States to the point where [[SternTeacher Senior Uhl]] tells her to lay off them

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's destroyed by being smashed between the two halves of his severed hammer.
* IShallTauntYou: According to Mother, ''all'' Cindorites are fond of "trash-talking". It's amplified with his LargeHam approach.
