Profiles in Villainy

Breetai

The Zentraedi war commander known as Breetai was a clone created by the Tirolians following their discovery of Robotechnology and Protoculture.  Answering to his grand lord Zor, Breetai was made a general and assigned to search out a retrieve the lost flagship known as The SDF-1.  This spaceship had crash landed on earth many years ago and the technology of the ship had been reengineered by the humans to act as their primary planetary defense force.  

Commanding his own force, Breetai ultimately came across earth and this led to the First Robotech War.

Throughout the war, Breetai came to cultivate a begrudging respect for the humans, especially for the ace pilot, Rick Hunter.   Seeing the despotic tyranny of his Zentraedi masters, Breetai eventually switched sides and joined the humans as part of the Robotech Expeditionary Force.  The consummate solider would ultimately sacrifice his life in a valiant effort to take out an Invid Supercarrier.

Actor Eiji Kanie provided the voice of the villain turned hoer in the original Macross anime (with actor Tony Clay voicing the character in the English language dub, Robotech).  Breetai first appeared in the first episode of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, airing on October 3rd, 1982.
