Conquest - Invincible S3

"Stand ready for my arrival, worm. You were given orders. You were given time. You were given more leeway than most, and yet, I find this planet unprepared for the arrival of our Viltrum Empire. (...) The Empire anticipated your resistance, which is why they sent me. I am Conquest, and I am your last chance to fulfill your duty." -Conquest's first words uttered to Invincible.

Conquest is a towering Caucasian man. Like all adult male Viltrumites, he sports a thick but well-groomed mustache. He is very old, even by Viltrumite standards, with noticeable wrinkles, crooked teeth, and grey hair that has begun balding. Despite this, he retains a massive and equally well-defined muscular build. His clothing is that of an adult male Viltrumite: a white and gray garment resembling a bodystocking, but he was eventually given an elite uniform similar to Anissa's, featuring a circular symbol with three vertical lines in the center of his chest. His pelvic region is covered by a simple loincloth, and he wears a sturdy pair of white boots.

While his healing powers were temporarily impaired, during an incident on Savage Planet, he received a long scar running diagonally across his face, from the top of his left temple over his right eye, blinding it, to his right cheek. His right arm was removed up to below the bicep.

In contrast to his peers, he does not fully support the Viltrumite cause, instead presenting himself as a sociopathic lunatic, as he solely seeks to battle formidable, deserving adversaries driven by his hedonistic thirst for blood. Because of his great power, Conquest sees his opponents as simply "toys" for him to manipulate or torment. This results in a strong longing for an adversary who can provide a good challenge, although it sometimes makes him undervalue his opponent.

During his confrontation with Invincible, he consistently mocked him, even urging him to retaliate more fiercely to fulfill his desire for a fitting, grand battle, by harming or tormenting those he cherished to drive him to attain his highest potential. Similar to all Viltrumites, he views love and empathy as vulnerabilities. After seemingly murdering Atom Eve, he mocked Invincible regarding her demise, then expressed gratitude for finally providing him a chance to kill and wreak havoc without any limitations. His hubris briefly diminished on two occasions: first when an enraged Invincible bit a chunk out of his shoulder, and second when a full powered Atom Eve seared much of his flesh, knocking him down temporarily. Even when confronted with imminent death by Invincible, Conquest kept taunting him as he persistently head-butted him until his skull cracked wide open, finding Invincible's emotional fury entertaining.

Beneath this sadistic and sociopathic persona, there is a man who is lonely and yearns for companionship. Nonetheless, because of his effectiveness in conquering planets and obliterating civilizations, everyone views him as merely a monster. This causes him to fall into a depressive state, yet he buries this under his maniacal sadism and violent bloodlust. He finds no reason to be anything besides how others view him, though he feels he is capable of achieving much more than the role designated to him by his colleagues, even mourning his absence of a true name.

He is driven by a craving for the exhilaration of combat, more so than loyalty to the Viltrumite cause, and this is taken to such extremes that he massacres everyone he can when given the opportunity, particularly those much weaker than him, and torments them as they perish or grieve.

Conquest claims to "take the good with the bad" and while he can grow angered when things do not go his way, he can later accept how something plays out, even when being defeated in combat, and not be bothered much.
