Regent

The Regent is the tyrannical male co-ruler of the Invid, a powerful insectoid alien race. Driven by conquest and rivalry with his counterpart the Regess, he serves as the primary antagonist opposing Rick Hunter's Sentinels alliance across occupied worlds.

Born into the pages of Robotech II: The Sentinels #1 in 1988, Regent is a creation of Ben Dunn and one of the defining presences of Malibu's ambitious Copper Age expansion of the beloved Robotech universe. Across the pages of both Sentinels volumes, this formidable figure shares the stage with heavy-hitters like Rick Hunter, Max Sterling, and T. R. Edwards — names that signal just how deep into the heart of the Robotech saga this character operates. With a run spanning from 1988 to 1992, Regent may not boast the longest bibliography in the catalog, but every appearance carries the weight of a story that fans of this era hold close. For collectors hunting the corners of the Robotech expanded universe, this is exactly the kind of character that rewards a deep dive.
