Forthright Mendicant , (or Professor Nefarious ) is the current Authoritarian of Obscurity, and enemy of Equestria.

History[]

Background[]

Forthright Mendicant was born to a royal family during the formation of Equestria, belonging to a well known Political Family; being raised to his parents standards to be intellectual. Eventually, Mendicant became a teacher; (more or less a Professor) his studies being based around the theory of Logic and Biology. Having had been a Professor for years, Mendicant eventually retired from his occupation; being interested in the studies of the unknown magical force known as Essence Seeking, lusting to comprehend how to possess such powers.

Eventually, Mendicant was able to evolve into an Essence Seeker; investing the power of Essence Manipulation; being capable of phasing forms of matter, and change forms of matter by thought. Eventually, Mendicant's studies eventually became to dangerous; and was ordered by Celestia to halt his studies in fear of him becoming power thirsty. Already indulged in his studies, Mendicant continued his work despite Celestia's command; learning to manipulate different forms of essence; geological, biological, and psychological.

Discovering his secret studies, Mendicant was imprisoned by the Equestrian Army; and his work was destroyed. Angered, Mendicant was easily capable of escaping the prison using his Essence Seeking powers; and then escaped the land of Equestria. Swearing vengeance, Mendicant restarted his work on the art of Essence Seeking; improving his control over the power, and his overall knowledge over the form of Manipulation.

Later Life[]

Later, Forthright Mendicant began to don the name: Professor Nefarious; in reference to his previous occupation and his alignment to evil. Mendicant soon formed a group known as: the Obscurity, referencing a Dark Force as he soon became the Dictator of the group; his every command becoming a requirement for his forces. Mendicant later became known as: Authoritarian Nefarious, referencing his Dictator-esque position within the group.

Leading the Obscurity against Equestria in order to assume new-found knowledge and materials, becoming a great source of trouble for Equestria as Mendicant was capable of aligning himself with other villains. Eventually, Celestia would order the Elements of Harmony to defeat Mendicant to restore peace to Equestria. Meeting the Elements of Harmony, Mendicant's forces were quickly dispersed by the powers of the six ponies as he was soon confronted in his chamber of stone.

Instead of trying to destroy Twilight and her friends, Mendicant challenged the Elements to a reasonable game of chess. As the chess match ensued, it turned out that certain pawns that Mendicant took from the Element's side of the board, were apparently certain Elements of Harmony, defeating five of them indirectly. Leaving one pawn, (Twilight) Mendicant pointed out that she herself could not defeat him, (the King on the board) as she was restricted to the command of her player: (Princess Celestia), and that the game was already won on behalf of himself.

Continuing to play the game, Twilight eventually defeated every opposing chess piece on the board; finally trapping Mendicant into a 'checkmate'. Mendicant, admitting clear defeat; allowed Twilight and her friends to defeat him, disappearing before he could have been imprisoned, bailing to a disclosed location.

Relationships[]

Forthright Mendicant maintains a vast amount of relationships despite his secluded nature, either positive or negative.

Twilight and Co.[]

Despite the Elements of Harmony's initial dislike for Mendicant, the group appears to have mutual respect as does Mendicant. While not exactly high respect, Mendicant sees the group as an opportune threat; and believes their powers to be near equal. Mendicant does have a fair amount of dislike for the group, however; as he does dislike their sense of morality and their ideals of following what he thinks is a tyrants orders.

The Elements of Harmony dislike Mendicant to a large extent, as they hate his lust for power and immoral beliefs. However, the group appears to have some respect for Mendicant that he isn't like any other of his enemies, and that he is not exactly arrogant as other villains are, and that he has a slight sense of humility.

Princess Celestia[]

Mendicant and Celestia appear to be bitter for the most part, as Mendicant dislikes the fact that she tried to halt his successful studies; while Celestia dislikes the fact that Mendicant was willing to continue his work despite the consequences. Working against each other, Mendicant and Celestia have become bitter nemesis; one trying to defeat the other for another's sense of good.

Princess Candance and Shining Armor[]

While Mendicant, Candance's, and Armor's encounters have been rather brief; the couple dislikes Mendicant, while he has a slight sense of respect for the two for defeating Queen Chrysalis and King Somba.

Queen Chrysalis[]

Mendicant and Queen Chrysalis are not exactly fond of another, but deal with one another to an extent. The two are not trustful of another as their ideals are not in the slightest close to another's. However, Mendicant and Chrysalis are willing to work together if the situation requires, and mostly keep their suspicions to themselves.

Later on, Mendicant had then built up a positive relationship with Chrysalis; allowing the two to ally themselves with another.

Discord[]

Mendicant and Discord appear to have a mutual relationship with another, despite their initial dislike for one another. Mendicant keeps a small amount of dislike towards Discord, however, due to his mischievous and destructive personality. While Mendicant has worked with Discord countless times, he is not willing to exactly trust Discord in slight fear that he would betray their trust.

Later on, Mendicant had then built up a positive relationship with Discord; allowing the two to ally themselves with another.

Ebullient Adjutance[]

Mendicant and Ebullient Adjutance appear of have a neutral relationship with one another, Mendicant have had recruited Adjutance multiple times in order to use the Mercenary multiple times to steal intelligence and materials for his cause. Although Adjutance had worked against Mendicant multiple times, Mendicant understands the occupation of the Unicorn and never puts the fact to heart; as he sees him as more of a tool than an actual ally.

Although Adjutance is neutral with Mendicant, Adjutance slightly dislikes the Authoritarian for his use; disliking the fact that Mendicant is willing to spend his life despite any given situation.
