Main Characters

Stanley H. Tweedle

May His Merciful Shadow fall upon ... me, preferably.

Played by Brian Downey.

Stan: For example, if I was to say, "Lexx, destroy that planet - "
Lexx: As you request, Stan. (Blows up planet)

  • Nice Hat: And he gets really sulky when he loses it.
  • Really Gets Around: Subverted - he would sleep with any and every beautiful woman he encountered if he could, but usually things rarely go his way.

Zev / Xev Bellringer of B3K

It's not easy being programmed for love and never finding it.

Played by Eva Habermann (as Zev), Xenia Seeberg (as Xev) and Lisa Hines (pre-love slave Zev).

Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G

I am well qualified to speak for the dead.

Played by Michael McManus.

Prince: "Why, you're just a biochemical machine."

790

Tweedle, you give carbon molecules a bad name.

Voiced by Jeffrey Hirschfield.

The Lexx

My captain is Stanley Tweedle. I blow up planets for him.

Voiced by Tom Gallant.

  • Bizarre Alien Biology
  • Cool Ship
  • The Ditz: Is not the brightest tool in the shed, and the show's writers have stated that they intended it to be a bit like a "big, dumb dog".
  • Insectoid Aliens
  • Living Ship: And very living, most metal and control bits are clearly installed later. And the ship's living nature means it needs to eat.
  • Planet Eater: The Lexx feeds itself by stripping organic material from planets; in "Eating Pattern," when it lands on a planet where the surface is mostly barren, it seems to sift through the dirt for nutrients buried within; while in "Dutch Treat," it flies low over the surface and sucks up the more obvious nutrients (trees, grass, animals, the population of Holland) like a vacuum cleaner. On a few occasions, the Lexx will eat bits of planets it blows up, but doesn't get very much out of it since it's "just a snack".
  • Samus Is a Girl
  • Sapient Ship
  • Wave Motion Gun

Villains

His Divine Shadow / Giga Shadow

First will come the Cleansing, which will feed the Rebirth. The Giga Shadow is the new life beyond order. A time of pain and rejoicing. Our destiny.

Voiced by Walter Borden.

Mantrid

Overkill? It is my style! I think ... big.

Played by Dieter Laser.

Mantrid: You, my friend, are a leaking boil on the anus of a cancerous rodent, squeaking from a damned corner of oblivion!

Prince of Fire / Isambard Prince

I'm very good with pain.

Played by Nigel Bennett.

Vlad

You think you can destroy me? You think you can hunt the hunter?

Played by Minna Harkonen

  • Badass: Divine Assassins are indestructible cyborgs who can survive being blown up with a planet. Vlad is a Divine Executioner, the being sent to destroy Divine Assassins who have gone rogue.
  • Cyborg: She was created in much the same way as Kai.
  • Dark Action Girl
  • For the Evulz: She agrees with Kai that there is no point in pursuing her directive to destroy now that His Divine Shadow is dead, but keeps doing it because it brings her pleasure.
  • Improbable Hairstyle: Even more so than Kai. Apparently the power of killers in the service of His Divine Shadow is denoted by the goofiness of their hair. The bigger the badass, the crazier the 'do.
  • Our Vampires Are Different: She is the source of all vampire mythology on Earth.
