Orthopox 13
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orthopox 13 is a fictional character in the video games Destroy All Humans! and Destroy All Humans! 2 for PS2 and Xbox. A Furon mind is a beautiful thing, and Orthopox’s grey matter is no exception. Cloned with great care and no small expense, Pox is a brilliant tactician, a canny businessman, and holds his own in chess. However, years of physical neglect has left his limbs somewhat useless, requiring the use of a cerebro-chair, which supports his massive cranium and allows him to float about the mother-ship.
After discovering Earth is one of the lost sources of Furon DNA, Pox hatches a plan to reap the rewards and save the Furon race from extinction. Notable Achievements: Conqueror of Zarkon-5, Hero of the Battle of Tharsis Mons, Winner of the Xanthrax-47 Mental Cruelty Award 6 years running.
A Furon scientist who sends Crypto on his missions, and supplies Crypto with saucer and weapon upgrades. Called "Pox" by Crypto, he is the fatherly figure to Crypto. Contrary to what appearances may suggest, Orthopox is not the Emperor of the Furons. The emperor himself is never named or shown during the game, though he is mentioned in one level at Capitol City. His name comes from the genus Orthopoxvirus. He is voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz, who, coincidentally, provided the voice for the titular alien character in the cartoon Invader Zim.
He always remains on the mothership in Destroy All Humans!
In Destroy All Humans! 2, his body is destroyed along with the mothership when the KGB missiles are sent. Just before the ship blew, he was able to insert his brain into a floating holodisc (called a HoloPod) and get sent to Earth. His head and a tiny bit of his shoulders are visible as a blue hologram being projected from the disc. Crypto can still buy upgrades from Pox in his saucer.
Sometimes in Destroy All Humans! 2, when Pox comes with Crypto or when Crypto says, "Do you ever shut up?!" Pox's holodisc is shut off and his hologram disappears. The disc is then put in Crypto's pocket.
He will be appearing in the soon to be Destroy All Humans! TV show.
