The Serpent is a minor antagonist of the manga/anime Record of Ragnarok, serving as the main antagonist of Adam's flashback arc in the Second Round.
He is a demon who resides in Valhalla and has an obsession with the human Eve. He attempted to assault her and make her his but failed. And out of vengeance, he scapegoated the woman of eating an apple of Eden, which got her exiled from the Garden of Eden.
He was voiced by Bumper Robinson in the English dub of the anime, while his Japanese voice actor is unknown due to the latter being uncredited.
What makes him a Hate Sink?[]
- At some point, he had a creepy obsession with the human Eve.
- He attempts to sexually assault Eve in the Garden of Eden, and would have likely succeeded had two birds not intervened, which allowed Eve to escape.
- Furious at Eve for rejecting his advances, he takes a bite of a forbidden fruit (which was forbidden for humans to eat), and later frames Eve for it in the court of the Gods.
- While Eve was heartbroken that she will be exiled, and won't be able to see her lover Adam, the Serpent smiles with malice while thinking that this was Eve's deserved punishment for rejecting him.
- When Adam intervenes in the court and decides to self-exile himself to be with Eve, the Serpent furiously transforms into his true form in an attempt to kill the Father and Mother of Mankind in a last effort to have things go his way, only to be swiftly slain by Adam as payback for what he did to his wife.
- While his death of having his limbs cut off by Adam is brutal, it's not played for sympathy, and he deserved it for his disgusting actions against Eve.
- Overall, he lacks any 'evil is cool' moments and was not even a good fighter unlike many other characters in the manga.
