Cyrus Redblock

controlling calculating imposing greedy ruthless
Cyrus Redblock dominates the collapsing boundary between fiction and reality as the ruthless, imposing antagonist who leads a violent hostile takeover within the malfunctioning Holodeck's 1941 Dixon Hill simulation. Clad in a white Panama suit and carrying a clipped British accent, he enforces brutal control over his volatile henchmen, notably restraining the murderous Felix Leech to negotiate with Picard for a mysterious 'item.' His cold civility masks a calculating greed and strategic mind, intrigued by Data's android nature while maintaining deadly threats to Picard's crew. His fatal hubris propels him beyond the Holodeck into the real Enterprise, where delirious excitement morphs into horror as his body vaporizes, underscoring the lethal consequences of transgressing fictional limits.
