~ Alvin |
Alvin the Treacherous is a major character in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise. He serves as the main antagonist of Dragons: Riders of Berk, the secondary antagonist turned supporting protagonist of Dragons: Defenders of Berk and a minor characters of Dragons: Race to the Edge. He is the Chief of the Outcast Tribe.
He was voiced by Mark Hamill.
His Evil Ranking[]
His Villainous Deeds[]
- While somewhat honorable, he tends to betray his allies when they least expect it as shown when he tried to betray Dagur (but it backfired) and tried to get rid of Heather (Astrid in disguise) once their use was up.
- Alvin and the Outcast only teamed up with the Berkians in the comic Legend of Ragnarok to fight the Purple Death to save their own skin, not honor.
- Tried to kidnapped Hiccup many times to train dragons to conquer Berk.
- Attempted to kill the Dragon Riders many times.
- When trying to learn to train dragons he threw one into a cave and earlier in his first appearance he made one fall to it presumably death.
- He took Heather's parents hostage as a way to force Heather to steal the Book of Dragons. He later threatened to kill them if she turned against him.
- While he is kind to Mildew, he often threatens to kill him when things don't go right.
- He planted Whispering Death eggs under Berk with the intention of having them hatch and attack the village. When the Whispering Deaths hatched, they endangered multiple civilians.
- He teamed up with Dagur to attack Berk, but planned to betray and kill him and his men so that he could take the Skrill for himself.
- His backstory of how he got banished is kind of weak since his reckless caused casualties and Stoick tried to tolerate him, but he had to banish Alvin after he betrayed them first and it was to keep people safe.
Why Doesn't He Stand Out?[]
- While he passes the baseline due to endangering numerous civilians, he fails the High Heinous Standards too much to be Inconsistently Heinous, as Krogan, Grimmel the Grisly, Drago Bludvist, the Red Death, Johann (who fails the heinous standard himself), Viggo, and Ryker Grimborn all do worse than him. Grimmel, and Krogan also do much worse than him with lower resources.
- He ultimately redeemed himself by helping Hiccup save his father and defeat Dagur. He then remained one of Berk's allies for the rest of the series.
Trivia[]
- It's ironic that he is a Villainous Benchmark, since his original book counterpart was not only Pure Evil, but the main antagonist of the series as well.
- He, alongside Johann, is the one of the two HTTYD main antagonists to be a Villainous Benchmark.
