“ | Help? I didn't really want to help Humanity! Humanity can go to Hell! It's all about staying on top, never about helping those weaker than you. Remember that. | „ |

“ | The weak do not inherit the Earth, or reality itself. That's the job for the strong. | „ |
~ Jacob Nemsus's philosophy |
Adrian Jacob Nemsus Rothberg, also known as Mister Zero is one of the secondary antagonists of Multiversal Legends and the Armored Studios franchise, being the overall main antagonist of the Chaosblade series. He is one of the head of Mindstryke Industries, a powerful military company made to weaponize anomalies for other countries. He is one of Devos Brightmore's archenemies (alongside Mendax and Nekrozoth) and a power-hungry social Darwinist who seeks to find the Excalibur/Chaos Blade so he could rewrite the law of reality in his own liking despite the many innocents he has to kill for.
He willingly sold his humanity to the all-powerful Dark-Lord Nekrozoth so that he could gain demon power. As an immortal criminal mstermind and terrorist, he once served many dictators, tyrants, and crime lords before betraying them and rose to power to the point that he became the most powerful man on Earth. He has made alliances with several other villains such as Malroc and Xuriah D'arcmast'r especially, and as such became the leader of the Earth's Unit of the Doomsday Alliance.
Personality
“ | It's called might makes right, the strong gets the power while the weak receives nothing in return. That's the way the world works, you either live among the strong or die among the weak. | „ |
~ Jacob Nemsus's philosophy. |
Jacob Nemsus represents the worse of humanity both the inside and out, a heartless and cold-hearted sociopath lacks any redeeming qualities, tragedy and excuse for his for his heinous actions. He is a completely monstrous businessman with no empathy towards those he deems as weak, nor show any pity or sympathy towards them along with a complete lack of remorse for anything horrific he has done. He is a defined psychopath with a god complex with extreme "Might Makes Right" philosophy as he believed it is the strong's destiny to dominate the weak and have ultimate power for themselves. As such he declares himself as the most powerful person alive and would willing to betray those he finds weak and unfit to rule.
As part of his "chronic backstabbing disorder", he would happily betray his former bosses including those with higher authority for self gain, stealing their position and power for himself in order to stay on top of everyone else. He was willing to betray his own family in his bid for power, as he did in order to join the Tauredian's corrupt government in order to gain as much power in his positions as possible. One of his biggest example was that he was willing to betray humanity to Nekrozoth and plunge the world into total disarray and establish a "Hell on Earth".
He is fully aware of the consequences of his action and admits once he is killed he is doomed to eternal damnation which he is glad of hearing himself. He doesn't really care on the innocent lives he has taken over his life time as to him, "everybody was bound to die someday". He is rather a psychopathic sadist as he enjoy chasing and hunting down Duncan and his friends for fun rather than just merely wanting to use Duncan's powers to open the portal to Nezmodam to take the powers of the Chaos Blade. He also very fond with causing war and carnage, and enjoys being in battle with powerful enemies of his own.
He is exceptionally manipulative and intelligent due to use to be part of the Tauredian military and serving as the general for the Taured-Laxarian War. As a supervillain, he would mercilessly kill any of his subordinates without question and would happily sacrifice an entire squadron once they outlive their usefulness. Should one member of a group fail him, he punishes the entire group as a whole with extreme prejudice. Nemsus also despises the Laxarians, seeing them as the weakest of the races and thinks they have no purpose to live, therefore he has his soldiers to show prejudice and spite towards them.
erefore he has his minions to show prejudice and spite towards them. Despite showing sopartnershiplwithrds Nekrozoth, he is also not above attempt to betray him as well and try to steal his powers and control over the Omega Empire and the entire forces of evil.
As the series progresses became much more power-hungry and mad going so far as to try to destroy the Earth so he could have a "brand new beginning" and rule humanity like a god.

He also wears a metallic mask concealing his face at times, usually it was to help control his powers when needed.

Trivia
- Nemsus is based on "The Man from Taured" urban legend which is about a man ho was visiting Japan during the 1950s, when the people who work at the Japanese airport they asked the man where he's from. The nameless man said he was from a country called Taured which actually doesn't exist. Some people believe that the man from Taured is from an alternate dimension who happens to stumble across our universe.
- However, he is much more evil than the character in the urban legend as the original was enigmatic and confused person who happened to stumble onto our dimension and doesn't show any malicious intentions whatsoever.
- He was inspired by Maxwell from The Zodiac Legacy book series by iconic comic book writer Stan Lee. Other characters also helped influence Jacob's personality and design like Doctor Doom, All For One, Major from Hellsing, Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, Lex Luthor, and Vandal Savage.
- People often compared him to doctor doom as they're both the ruler of a country, both are genius and they want to take over the world. Nemesis had also shown some knowledge on the mystic arts and show to have a hate fueled rivalry towards Duncan, they're also power-hungry tyrants too.
- He is one of the two human characters who turned themselves into a demon, the other being Deacon Helfyre himself.
