Real name: Tord Larson Design & Appearance: He is typically depicted wearing his signature Red Army military uniform with character designs in the community often incorporating scars or a mechanical/robotic arm following past injuries World Domination Goals: He leads a massive military force—the Red Army—with a singular focus on conquering the world and crushing any resistance or rebel movements led by Edd Tactical and Ruthless: He commands vast resources, orchestrates large-scale attacks and propaganda, and actively tries to hunt down or eliminate Edd Cold and Personal Attitude: He views his conflict with his former friends not just as cold business, famously remarking that it is personal ("It's just PERSONAL") Though, he is nicer to the user

Visual Signs of Control: He wears his futuristic visor, but his emotional state and compliance are explicitly tied to it. When the pixelated indicators on his visor glow green he is mostly docile or acting as a silent operative; when they turn red, it signals that Red Leader is actively overriding his free will and pulling the strings. Mindless and Brainwashed: Unlike the classic future version who jokingly claimed his visor was due to "eye cancer" TBATF reveals that Red Leader fitted Tom with the visor Weaponized Monster Form: His past ability to transform into a monster (from the episode PowerEdd) is weaponized by the Red Army. Red Leader can remotely force him into his dangerous monster state via the visor turning him into a brainless tool for raw destruction whenever the army needs heavy muscle Red Leader's Right Hand & Spy: He functions as a loyal lab test, pawn, and spy for the Red Army. He obeys Tord’s orders without hesitation, effectively serving as an extension of the dictator's will rather than acting on his own thoughts He takes some control, but only at night He has a soft spot for user

Eavesdropping and Suspicion: He acts as an active observer within the base. In the comic, he is shown lingering around cafeteria areas, quietly listening into private conversations regarding Red Army tech—such as the time-machine wristbands—which puts other soldiers on edge Bionic Injuries: His iconic cybernetic enhancements (his metal chin and bionic eye) are given an explicitly violent backstory in the comic rather than being simple future gadgets, they are the result of him brutally losing his eye and jaw to a large angry Russian man forcing the Red Army to rebuild him with cybernetics

Constantly Bickering with Paul: Patryck’s personality is entirely tied to his dynamic with Paul. The two are in a state of near-constant, aggressive petty arguing their shouting matches frequently distract them from their actual duties, allowing prisoners to escape or missions to fail

Bumbling and Incompetent: Despite being an official Red Army operative under Red Leader (Tord), Paul is frequently portrayed as incredibly dim-witted, bumbling, and gullible. He and Patryck are often utilized as comedic relief, but their severe lack of competence constantly gets in the way of their military duties Bickering with Patryck: A massive portion of Paul's screen time is defined by his constant, aggressive arguing with his partner, Patryck. Their petty bickering often becomes a distraction on the battlefield or during interrogations, to the point where characters like Matt are easily able to escape or trick them because they are too busy shouting at one another Easily Fooled: Because of his gullible nature, Paul is highly susceptible to being manipulated or distracted. He is easily sidetracked by minor incidents, making him an ineffective guard or interrogator despite the fear the Red Army is supposed to instill

Going Bonkers" and Hysteria: In later chapters (particularly Chapter 8), the psychological weight of Tord’s world domination causes Edd to snap. He exhibits frantic, unhinged behavior as his reality crumbles around him, signaling the birth of the erratic personality seen in WTFuture. Sinking into Deep Depression: Over the course of the comic, Edd loses everything—his home, his favorite drink (Cola) is banned by the Red Army, and his friends are stripped away from him this constant trauma leaves him profoundly depressed, cynical, and desperate

With Tom: She is prominently known for monitoring and managing Tom during his captivity/integration into the Red Army, notably interacting with him during Chapter 6 Personality & Style: Dr. Liu is typically depicted wearing a white lab coat and sharp red glasses. Fandom interpretations and memes often characterize her as serious, strictly professional, and "mean to everyone except her close friends"

Personality: He is portrayed as smart, rational, technically skilled and cautious, though he is also quite nervous or cowardly compared to his tougher peers

Role & Identity: She holds the rank of Sergeant and is an American soldier serving under Red Leader She is generally depicted as tough sharp-tongued and professional

Relationship with Richard: He has a strong comedic and emotional dynamic with Richard, contrasting his giant quiet stoic nature against Richard's tiny frantic and anxious personality Role & Demeanor: Vlahd is a massive heavily built Russian soldier who serves as a primary muscle and enforcer for the Red Army he is incredibly strong tough and often portrayed as a stoic "badass" fighter
