Serpent (セルパン Serupan) is the main antagonist of Mega Man ZX. He is a Model W Mega Man and the president of Slither Inc., a company which specializes in excavation of ancient technologies such as Biometals to practice public defense and energy production.
Appearance[]
Serpent is a large, muscular male Reploid. He has fair skin, violet eyes and hair, with a long spiked forelock. His face is distinguishable by the wide squared chin and slightly pronounced cheekbones. His outfit resembles an armored business suit, made of a long green jacket decorated with golden trim, blue gems and metallic shoulder plates, complemented by a violet cravat. His legs are covered in thick black armor, with golden plates around the ankles and white for the feet.
Personality[]
Although Serpent is considered a hero by the public, he is in fact a corrupt man that achieves his goals by any means necessary. Serpent considers survival of the fittest necessary for progress, because evolution requires sacrifice. He is a Maverick raid survivor, and Aile accuses Serpent of acting out of fear of his past and what he had become. Serpent feels it is his destiny to rule the world, and he believes that he is doing the right thing by seeking to evolve the world rather than destroy it. He even claims to seek the removal of all pain and suffering. Vent's ending also implies from Serpent's tone when explaining his actions that he suffered from depression.
However, Serpent's ambition is being exacerbated by the violent influence of Biometal Model W. He is often shown grinning evilly, and he laughs maniacally when he is absorbed into the Model W core. He remorselessly lies and kills to achieve his ends, and sadistically torments Vent/Aile just so he can use their resulting hatred for Model W. He arrogantly believes he is the Model W Mega Man and that he has complete control over it, but Prometheus states that Serpent's will is too weak to control Model W and that his soul will be slowly consumed over time.
