>>116345543I'm thinking about this bad guy as, say, the 1st heavy hitter that leads the story to outside of Earth. Not necessarily that they'll have to venture out into space but it makes things known to Stella and co that there are external threats still interested in Earth. I'm omitting thinking about Steven and Gems' place in the story because of my sheer aggressive disinterest in that show.
I don't know how to implement him though. Being a slow-burn kinda guy, I'd prefer if there was enough time to show the beginning of Stella and her uncles as they go on a few adventures so that we get a good sense of them. Maybe have Allan Mine interrupt them occasionally on a few adventures while helping them in others because I sort of like the idea of him being on Stella's side. (Need to get the villains list again..)
But from what I read of this bald dude, I think he makes a good first heavy hitter. Being a priest who becomes obsessed with advancing humans, serving the Metal Men in secret.
Let's say bald priest here discovered a cache of Metal Men tech as a simple priest in a small town somewhat far from Stella's town. He's investigating because some of the townsfolk reported to him about some weird rumbling or explosion that happened just out of their town. That's when he gets his gold nanotech.
At first, as he's trying to recover from the event, he's not immediately turned evil. Later on, as he experienced the improvements from gold nanotech embedded in him, delusions of grandeur start to get to him, changing him from a humble old priest to someone seeking to change humanity.
I don't know how to connect him to Gold yet. Maybe because of the tech stuff, Gold was able to reconnect him to a network of sorts and that's how he's able to reach to the priest.
