Emperor Nefarious

Emperor Nefarious is the main antagonist of Rift Apart. Hailing from Rivet's dimension, he is the dimensional counterpart of Dr. Nefarious who has always been successful in his dimension. His Nefarious Empire rules almost his entire dimension, aside from a few forces that resist him. Emperor Nefarious' main challenge came from Rivet and the Resistance forces that oppose him. When Dr. Nefarious used the Dimensionator to travel to the dimension and take the Emperor's place, Emperor Nefarious tried to stop him. Battling Ratchet and Clank, and his former warbot Kit, he saw the Dimensionator as a tool through which to extend his conquest ambitions and invade all other dimensions. As with his counterpart, Emperor Nefarious is self-absorbed and power-hungry and leads entire armies of followers in his conquest. Unlike his counterpart, he is used to achieving success, driven more by a desire for power than by vindication or vengeance. Emperor Nefarious largely surrounds himself with sycophants, namely the Emperor's Assistant, and demands adoration from those beneath him, having those who oppose or fail him either killed or sent to Zordoom Prison. The Emperor's imagery is seen throughout his dimension to honor him, particularly in Nefarious City, Corson V.
