Finally, I get to kill a Schnee...
—White Fang Lieutenant

The White Fang Lieutenant was an officer in the White Fang and made his first appearance in the episode "Painting the Town..." at the White Fang Faction Meeting. His weapon of choice was a weaponized chainsaw. He later appeared in "No Brakes", where he fights Weiss Schnee. He is also referred to as the Elder in RWBY: Combat Ready.

Appearance[]

The Lieutenant has a muscular appearance and has short black hair. He wears the standard pants and black gloves of other White Fang members, but his forearms have metal guards. The Lieutenant also has a distinctive top with a collar that sticks up around his neck and lacks the buttoned look of the standard garb.

The Lieutenant also wears a custom Grimm Mask that covers his whole face and has red eyes with thin red streaks streaming to the bottom of the mask. On his left arm, he bears several black tattooed designs, which can also be found in Adam Taurus' mask.

It is unknown what type of Faunus the Lieutenant is. It's possible that his uniform covers his animal trait, or that it is a trait that can be hidden, similar to Tukson's claws.

Personality[]

Not much is known about him, but it appears that not only is he capable of leading many White Fang members, he also harbors a powerful grudge against the Schnee family, expressing his satisfaction at the opportunity to finally kill one.

Additionally, he is shown to be very loyal and determined both to Adam Taurus and to the White Fang itself, pledging to hunt down Blake after her betrayal in the "Black" Trailer.

Powers and Abilities[]

In terms of overall capability, he is considerably more skilled than the standard White Fang foot soldier, capable of going toe-to-toe with, and even overcoming a first-year Huntress-in-training.

The Lieutenant's fighting style appears to forgo subtlety in favor of brute force, as exemplified by his weapon, a weaponized chainsaw which apparently does not possess a secondary function. Although clearly lacking in speed and finesse, consistently being outmaneuvered by Weiss during their battle, his weaknesses are offset by his incredible strength and durability. In the duel, he is seen shrugging off a great deal of punishment before seizing an opportunity to counterattack decisively.

Weapon[]

Main article: Lieutenant's Chainsaw

The Lieutenant's weapon of choice was his Chainsaw, which he wielded more as a sword. He is first seen using it in his battle against Weiss Schnee, in the episode "No Brakes".

Trivia[]

Character&Design[]

  • This character was listed in the credits as "White Fang Lieutenant". This may be his actual rank or just a general term for a high-ranking individual in the organization.
  • The audio of Gray G. Haddock voicing the White Fang Lieutenant's lines in "Painting the Town..." was meant to be temporary, but the crew ended up using it anyway.[1]
