Lord Marshal "Oberon"
The Chronicles of Riddick film (2004)
Lord Marshal "Oberon" is the Necromonger Commander. The Necromonger's are a race of humanoid being's who, now that they no longer have a home-planet, they travel the universe in search of other planets to conquer. They subsist entirely on what they have managed to build on their ships, which can be up to 2000 feet long. The "Underverse" was discovered by the first Lord Marshal, "Covu the Transcended". The Necromonger's believe that death is the next phase of life and use this as justification for their acts of destruction. Necro troops make especially effective fighters because they find honor in death, and are unable to feel pain.
Escaped convict Richard B. Riddick, after escaping bounty hunters visits old friend Inam who informs him that he has been singled out by an Air Elemental, Aereon, as the one man who can stop the evil Necromonger's from taking over the Universe. Suddenly, the Necromonger's arrive on the planet, causing mayhem and destruction. They capture Riddick who soon escapes, only to fall into the hands of the bounty hunters he so deftly eluded. They take Riddick to a rogue prison planet where he is met by scorching heat, an underground penitentiary, and his female companion Kyra. They escape from the planet, and vow to bring down the Necromonger's.
Riddick and Kyra manage to make it to the starship hangar where a Necromonger named Vaako attacks Riddick and ends up taking Kyra hostage. Riddick flies a ship back to Helion Prime, where he intends to rescue Kyra. He arrives too late, and Kyra has been converted / brainwashed into believing the Necromonger religion. Enraged, Riddick hurls his knife at the Lord Marshal who catches it with only a slight cut to his right cheek and earlobe and proceeds to attack Riddick who is no match for the Marshal's unique Necromonger powers and is badly beaten.
Before the Lord Marshal can deliver the final blow, Kyra stabs the Lord Marshal in the back with a weapon he had just discarded, suggesting that she was faking being brainwashed the whole time or that Riddick snapped her out of it. The Lord Marshal backhands Kyra into a spike on his throne, mortally wounding her. Vaako, sensing an opportunity to vanquish his superior and claim leadership of the Necromonger empire for himself, strikes out at the Lord Marshal, who barely manages to evade the killing blow, only to be positioned directly next to Riddick, who stabs him in the head with a knife, killing him.
