Name: Andre Le Pein

Bio: Andre Le Pein is a highly trained, former member of the military turned mercenary, and also a humanoid chimpanzee.
In his youth, Andre was in fact raised in an orphanage; his real parents still a mystery even to this day. As a youth though, he was very stoic and quiet, usually keeping to himself on an almost constant basis.
In spite of his lack of social interaction, he did make a couple of friends in the form of a pair of weasels who tended to smuggle items that weren’t allowed into the orphanage, partially due to their influence he started to gain some criminal tendencies. The weasels never really feared bullies because Andre seemed to enjoy fighting, and anyone who did this would generally be attacked by Andre…though he was as vicious as he could manage to them.
This didn’t really change as he got older, aside from those two weasels pretty much any kid in the place began to get picked on by him, Andre especially liked to start fights and beat the Hell out of people, the nuns who ran the place were pretty much unable to discipline him, and around the age of twelve, he and the weasels decided to run away to the streets.
With the aid of the streetwise weasels, they basically became petty thugs who started to rob nearby businesses, and as Andre got older they worked into unlicensed boxing, the chimpanzee developing into a particularly vicious fighter…but in time, fighting wasn’t enough…he wanted to kill, but at the time he didn’t want to get caught for it…however, as the Iraq war broke out he found an opportunity.
Using the fight money he’d gained from his boxing, Andre left France (saying goodbye to the weasels) to move to America where he promptly enrolled in the military as soon as he could, at first it was a little difficult but within several months he was able to get in (having learned English due to watching 70s exploitation films).
After he was enlisted, he did fairly well at training…in fact he was head and shoulders over the rest of the trainees, due to his immense potential as a fighter, he enrolled as a navy SEAL, and before long was deployed.
In Iraq and the Middle East, Andre proved to be very good at his job, gaining rank faster and earning a sizable amount of prestige. He developed a reputation as ‘The Unkillable Ape’, especially among his colleagues. However, underneath the surface of his decorated career, he had a tendency to (when nobody was looking, or when he thought nobody was looking) engage in war crimes, usually through cruelly dispatching people he was fighting in overly sociopathic ways, or torturing prisoners with the assistance of a few equally sociopathic soldiers he’d met. He also started to frequently loot the corpses of people he’d killed for money and anything he could possibly sell for money, including weapons, and it wasn’t too long even before he’d start stealing weapons from the army and sell them on the black market.
This sociopath’s downfall came several years later after he’d attained the rank of lieutenant, when an ambitious young reporter, aided with the help of adventurer Betty Pike, found out about his operation and succeeded in exposing him, there was a massive media circus about this scandal, which provoked Andre to make a run for it, but he didn’t get far after three full battalions of soldiers were sent to capture him in addition to two covert military/intelligence squads of extraordinarily skilled or powerful people known as Troupes, after about a full week of hunting him down they finally succeeded in capturing him, though not without considerable casualties along the way.
Andre Le Pein was sentenced to be exiled to France, where the guy was joining to be given life imprisonment in solitary confinement…however, when he attempted this, his plane was shot down by a group of Islamic extremists, who reportedly wanted retaliation for how he’d sadistically murdered a relative of their leader.
In truth however, no such group was involved, rather mercenaries on the payroll of Joshua Sanchez, it was the first year he was running his criminal organization and he was running into various problems, needing a good enforcer who was worthy of the fear and respect of someone of his stature, he liked Andre’s style and thought he’d fit the bill.
And so after having his death faked, Sanchez offered to take on Andre Le Pein as his personal enforcer, the chimpanzee ended up accepting his offer, reveling in the opportunity to kill and rob as he pleased again.
Over the past few years he’s made quite a name for himself among Sanchez’s organization, becoming a strong enforcer whose killing skills have even improved over the years, becoming a feared assassin and one of Sanchez’s best operatives. And at present he’s still a loyal member of the mobster’s crew, capable of even going up against monster hunters with ease…

Personality and Mannerisms: Andre Le Pein is the formidable second in command of Joshua Sanchez, a stoic and determined killing machine willing to do whatever his boss asks of him.
Andre Le Pein greatly enjoys killing people, to an extent you’d expect more from a psycho killer, you wouldn’t generally know this though due to how he’s silent and reserved about it.
He’s very stoic and usually doesn’t speak unless he has something to say, Joshua really being the only person he’ll regularly converse with, he’s also on good terms with the weasel friends he’d grown up with, usually calling them sometimes. When not killing he usually is by himself, and likes to watch boxing matches, this is due to him not having much use for people, though he is quite fond of the few people he genuinely likes.
Andre is asexual, which sets him apart significantly from the rest of the cast as he has no interest in members of either sex, save from simply wanting to kill people.
He is very intelligent and not easily fooled; though he’s fully willing to pretend to be dumb muscle just to fake out an opponent. He’s not a criminal plotter or an engineer, but his intelligence is still pretty present. He’s also got a sizable interest in chess and reading novels.
While very loyal to Sanchez, he’s also highly greedy and motivated by the desire to earn as much money as he can manage through his criminal activities, to him there’s not really such a thing as ‘too little money’, however he’s also known to pool and manage his money to finance the purchase of better equipment and invest them in making his job easier.
Among his other interests, aside from those mentioned about, he is quite interested in rugby, steak dinners, watching people make fools of themselves on Youtube and thriller movies.

Powers, skills, and equipment: Andre Le Pein is a very dangerous chimp, a hardened ex-military man who possesses incredible fighting skills that are borderline superhuman, in fact his own ability to fight is roughly equal with that of Alistair Garth’s.
He is military trained, and a former SEAL, though he’s a much better fighter than most soldiers, to the point where he could fight like he was a whole squad all by himself, he even tended to fight like he was a riot squad (minus the shields, and added with an overly sadistic attitude).
As you could expect, he’s really good at hand to hand combat, he was good before becoming a soldier but after joining the marines he turned into a better fighter, extremely better even! In time his skills grew good enough for him to beat full squads of enemy combatants to death even if they had firearms with them. Truth is they’re so good that virtually every member of Joshua’s organization who’s aware of his existence is absolutely petrified of him, and this group includes, among others, super strong, bulletproof trolls with mountainous fists.
In addition to his incredible skill in fighting, he also has phenomenal skill in gunfighting, he’s only slightly above average accuracy wise (though he’s quite good with sniper rifles) but in terms of instincts he’s very skilled.
Other things he possesses is the same sort of training given to SEALs, which includes demolitions, another area he’s greatly skilled in.
One other advantage he possesses is that he’s quite skilled in the art of improvising, capable of planning on the fly, though he also possesses a keen skill for strategy.
Andre is of great physical fitness, possessing great strength and speed, he also has a high tolerance for pain and is very resilient, though as he’s not invulnerable he can bleed but it takes a lot of damage to take him down.
His outfit is completely bulletproof and fire proof, though bombs can cause him trouble. His favorite equipment happens to be various assault rifles, a Desert Eagle magnum and hand grenades.

Appearance: Andre Le Pein is a six foot tall, black furred chimpanzee in great physical condition, stoic and imposing just by appearance alone.
Due to large amounts of exercise he’s preformed, Andre is in top physical form and his build is quite intimidating to most people, however he has several scars on himself, several marks on his back that resemble whip marks, a long scar on his front torso, a couple scars on his face, and one in his thigh.
He possesses a sizable lantern jaw, and brown eyes that frequently remind anyone who looks into them of a hawk, he possesses also a beard, one he grooms well though mostly to keep it fairly short. His hair is quite short, in fact it’s so short that he’d be full out bald if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s a humanoid ape, and by a result has hair nonetheless, it’s just very short.
His outfit consists usually of a blast vest similar to that of Bane’s from the Dark Knight Rises, in addition to a black sweater worn beneath it, he also usually wears a pair of military pants with a camouflage theme, which have a belt equipped with a holster for his Desert Eagle.

Other: Some of Andre’s influences included Batroc the Leaper (specifically his movie version), Crossbones (as seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men and Jopling from The Grand Budapest Hotel.
His name is intended as a pun on ‘pain’ and also a reference to a French far-right politician Martine Le Pen.
The reason he’s French, and a Chimpanzee, is a reference to the stereotype of the French being ‘Surrender monkeys’, the irony being that he’s anything BUT a coward, this also reflects how the stereotype is also one that isn’t true, in truth the French actually have a very strong and sophisticated navy, in fact the only thing that caused them to gain that reputation was surrendering to the Nazis, and in that case they didn’t have choice!...Plus they kept fighting Hitler after they surrendered.
Andre is essentially a character who can fight most the heroic characters (excluding ones like Oglethwhip zim Hobbersnatchers, for obvious reasons) on relatively even terms, though several he’s outright stronger than him, the person who’d have the best odds of beating him in a fight though’d be Alistair Garth…though on the antagonist side Ednit Mritue or Dennis would have better odds of beating him than any of the other antagonists.
