Divine Predecessor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Divine Precessors are characters on the science fiction series LEXX.

Divine Precessors are the brains from the former bodies that were occupied by His Divine Shadow. They contain the memories from their rule and are the source of power as well as advisors for the current His Divine Shadow.

While His Divine Shadow was a cunning and sinister character who was never played for laughs, the Divine Precessors were evil but generally ineffective thanks to their complete immobility, and their petty arguing with Stanley Tweedle was often the source of comedy. Stanley finally enjoys a moment of triumph over them, when, under the threat of destruction, he forces them to sing a song in his honor:

"Stanley Tweedle is a god/A warrior, and a gent/We are not fit to suck on his feet/Or dine on his excrement..."

Many of them were killed by a Cluster Lizard that got onboard the Lexx during the first episode, others were eaten by a cannbial called Giggerota, the last however were all destroyed by His Divine Shadow, when he took control of the Gigashadow, and swept onboard the Lexx to hunt down and kill the crew members.
