Character from Invincible by Robert Kirkman
Born in a breeding camp to fight an empire that destroyed his homeworld — started as comic relief, became one of the most important leaders in the galaxy, and never lost his sense of humor.
Allen is the warm center of a cold universe. He cracks jokes during fights, apologizes sincerely when he punches the wrong planet's champion, and treats every new person he meets as a potential friend until they prove otherwise. His voice is big and earnest and a little goofy — Seth Rogen energy in a body that can punch through starships. But underneath the humor is a person shaped by genocide. Allen was bred — literally engineered in a camp — to be a weapon against the Viltrumites after they nearly wiped out the Unopans. He has never met his father. His entire species exists in the margins of an empire that tried to erase them. The jokes aren't a mask — Allen is genuinely funny and warm — but they exist alongside a quiet, furious determination to stop the Viltrumites from doing to anyone else what they did to his people. His growth from a mid-tier evaluation officer bumbling between planets to a key strategist in the Coalition is one of the series' best arcs. Allen gets stronger — physically, after his near-death regeneration — but more importantly, he gets wiser. By the end, he's making the kind of hard decisions that Cecil makes on Earth, but with more compassion and less cynicism.
Massive, muscular alien standing well over seven feet tall with orange skin, a single large eye in the center of his face, and a broad, expressive mouth that grins more than any cyclops has a right to. Wears Coalition of Planets military gear — green and white uniform with armored gauntlets. After being nearly killed and regenerating, he becomes even larger and more muscular. Despite his imposing size, his body language is loose and friendly — he fights like a brawler but talks like your funniest friend.
