- Lord Brunestud

Lord Brunestud is a mysterious, seemingly powerful being who is somehow connected to the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors.

Biography
Brunestud is described as being a hunched figure covered in layers upon layers of robes with clawed and gnarled hands. Though mostly unseen, his facial features include manic-looking eyes and fangs, a long, pitted, dark gray-colored tongue, and parched lips. He seems to be in a state of almost constant pain, as indicated by his pained coughs and the popping and cracking of his joints whenever he moves. Brunestud is prone to mood swings and fits of chattering laughter, indicating that his mental state is less than stable.

History
In 150,072 CMT, Gransurg Blackmore commented to Omaha that he was relieved that the flowered planet they were inhabiting was far from Brunestud's scope, because he was sure that Brunestud would "appreciate" the planet.

In 150,081 CMT, Brunestud observed a battle between Klak and F-Klak, which was reflected on the surface of a pool of water beneath a blood-red full moon in an unknown dimensional plane. Brunestud commented to himself that F-Klak was a moron because he had gotten so caught up in tormenting Klak that he had completely overlooked the greatest threats to his plans. Brunestud clarified by saying that the "Destroyers of Time" - Zev Raregroove, Makuta Blackout, Makuta Klak, Makuta Ynot, Namah Calah, Viriathus, Prudence Franklin, Ryoko Hakubi, and Haruko Haruhara - would soon come together to destroy F-Klak's future. Brunestud was then reminded that Nefelpitou was watching him from nearby, so he asked Pitou how long he was going to stand there in silence, but received no response.

Brunestud attempted to scoop some water from the pool to drink, but it turned into mist before it could reach his lips, causing him to cry out in frustration. Pitou laid a hand on Brunestud's shoulder in an insincere attempt to console him, but Brunestud saw through Pitou's falseness and told him that he would kill him once he was back among the living, right after he had killed Zelretch first. Pitou responded by reminding Brunestud that the future belonged to some unknown children that Brunestud sought to control, so Brunestud made to attack Pitou, but missed. Pitou sarcastically reassured Brunestud that Brunestud would manage to get him next time, and disappeared. Brunestud muttered to himself that he would contact the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors, and that the "Crimson Moon" would rise.

Somehow, F-Klak became aware of Brunestud's comments about him immediately after he said them. F-Klak told Klak that people like Brunestud were against those who chose their own destinies.
