Captain Lavernius Tucker is one of the main protagonists of the Red vs. Blue series. He appeared in the 136th episode of Death Battle, Red VS Blue, where he and his teammates fought against the Red Team.
History
Captain Lavernius Tucker is one of the few Blue soldiers stationed at Blood Gulch. Early in his life, he was told women like a man in uniform, so he enlisted himself into the UNSC as a pretended licensed military physician named "Dr. Cloitus". Soon after being caught, as well as multiple reports of sexual harassment claims made against him, he was reassigned to Project Freelancer and sent to Blood Gulch. While Tucker initially started off a sex-crazed ladies man, he began to grow during the many misadventures he and his team went on, even earning himself a legendary weapon and an… alien son. Tucker soon learned what it really meant to be a man in a uniform, even becoming decent leader in some instances.
