LEFT, me, behind. I was forced to find a way to reason with the beasts of Mutraad. To stay alive amongst them.- ―General Modula to The King of Galaluna in Escape To Sherman High @ 08:31[src]
General Modula (simply known as Modula) is the main antagonist of the Sym-Bionic Titan.
He was once the General of the planet Galaluna, and a dear friend to the king. But during a battle at an enemy planet Muttrad, the army and the king barely made it out alive. Unfortunatly, Modula was left behind in the haste to escape and presumed dead. Given time stranded on the hostile world, Modula turned malevolent in trying to establish communication with the beasts of Muttrad and eventually had everything he needed to lead the Mutraddi on a genocidal invasion of Galaluna to take revenge. Now, all that stands between him and complete rulership of Galaluna is the extermination of the princess.
He was voiced by Don Leslie.
About[]
Once a great hero, General Modula commanded the armies of Galaluna through some their fiercest battles and always emerged victorious. Upon his return from the rescue of a stranded science expedition on the farthest moon of Galaluna, Modula was never the same. The General became ravenous for power; delusions of ruling the planet became his obsession. It wasn’t long before he gathered an army of beasts and monsters and attacked the capital and Royal Palace. General Modula is a warmonger and dictator of the worst kind. His paranoia won’t rest until Ilana is extinguished; in his mind she is the only chance for a rebellion against him.
History[]
He was once a good friends with The King and Edward back during their shared childhood. He attended Edward's funeral after his presumed death and helped take care of Edward's son Lance once he became an orphan.[1] General Modula commanded the armies of Galaluna through some of their fiercest battles and always emerged victorious. However, he was believed to have been killed during a Battle on Mutradd, which the King barely escaped himself. General Modula was alive and revealed that the King left him behind and was forced to reason with the Mutraddi race and thus gaining control of it.
General Modula returned to Galaluna and starts his coup d'etat. The Modula Occupation is the current controlling body of Galaluna after the successful coup d'etat by General Modula and other high ranking military officers. However, Princess Ilana escaped to Earth and so Modula began sending creatures from Mutraad to the princess' location in effort to kill her.[2] He was puzzled as to how Ilana was able to defend herself from his beasts until Xeexi sent a prob back to Galaluna, revealing the existence of Titan to him.[3]
Appearance[]
Modula is a tall man that has a large white beard and a mysterious hat with an eye on it, which covers his own eyes. He also wears a military uniform similar to the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. On top of his uniform is a large, lavish coat that flows in the wind and during combat. He also has large black boots that nearly come-up to his knees with Spurs.
Personality[]
General Modula is a warmonger and dictator of the worst kind. His paranoia won’t rest until Ilana's life is extinguished; as long as she lives, the people of Galaluna will still have hope, and continue their revolt. In spite of this Modula appears very calm and in control, rarely raising his voice or showing any other emotions besides subtle anger. In fact he manages to do almost all his actions with only subtle movements.
Relationships[]
The King[]
The King is an old friend of Modula but after he was left behind at the Battle on Mutraad, Modula swore he would have revenge. Modula now keeps The King chained at the destroyed Galaluna palace.
Edward[]
Along with The King, Edward is also an old friend of Modula. Not much is known about their relationship, but their friendship is strong as Modula attended Edwards funeral.
Mutraddi[]
The Mutraddi are Modula's personal army, after "being left behind" at the Battle on Mutraad, Modula had to reason with the beasts. He is the one that organized the Coup d'état of Galaluna.
Powers and Abilities[]
While he relies on brutish monsters to fight his major battles, he is not afraid to get his hands dirty when necessary. When the royal guard resistance tried to take him down, he easily beat them all in hand-to-hand combat and despite his apparent age he is incredibly agile to the point of supernatural. He also possesses superhuman strength since he easily crushes a Gatling energy gun with his fist. Back when Lance was still a child he was skilled enough to shut off two active Manus armors in Shadows of Youth with nothing but his bare hands.
The oversized hat he wears possesses a green eye on the top that allows him to communicate with his Mutraddi beasts and project green energy blasts.
Trivia[]
- An ongoing rumor is that Modula is in fact being controlled by a Mutraddi creature, which explains his oversize hat (which has its own laser-shooting eye) and the fact that the audience never sees his eyes except for in flash backs which date back before he first met the Mutraddi, although it will never be known due to the series cancellation.
- Modula is another term for brain-stem, which connects the spinal cord to the brain and is essentially the focal point of the human central nervous system.
- Modula resembles movie actor George C. Scott
- Modula's hemet/hat slightly resembles a Shako, a type of real-life headgear popular among armies of the Napoleonic era, which Galaluna draws reference from.
- Due to the series' cancellation, it is unknown if Lance, Ilana and Octus will ever save Galaluna and defeat Modula.
