Higgs Monaghan

Higgs Monaghan, also known as the "Man in the Golden Mask" is the leader of the militant separatist group known as the Homo Demens.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, Higgs alongside the Homo Demens where among the independent factions that flatout hated the world of Equestria and he's threatend destroy the world itself with the help of Beached Things (BTs).

Highly psychopathic and malicious, Higgs has no qualms nor moral boundaries when orchestrating ruthless acts of slaughter and gleefully participates out of fun and personal enjoyment. Holding an aura of unshakable confidence, charisma, and sarcasm, he rarely loses his cool and consistently maintains a composed and collected personality. No holds-barred when engineering voidouts killing thousands for that reason as well as to install fear in the cities guided and united under the UCA Alliance, and to facilitate the extinction of humanity.

Higgs has a layer of dark humor when confronting Sam and Fragile as well as overall. Musing about death and destruction of the first POTUS, and noting that Amelie wasn't cut out for a similar role. Having no restraint over his men and sees them as infallible and loyal. Highly egotistical and arrogant. Higgs views himself as greater than humanity, yet also has accepted the inevitability of the sixth extinction event. In his dealings with other humans, especially Sam Bridges, he uses his chiralium control as demonstrations of his superior nature.

Despite his psychopathic behavior. Higgs demonstrates a very high intellect and understanding of various concepts prior to Sam and Fragile. Higgs displays his worst traits through an affable exterior that hides his more evil intentions. He once believed in the preservation of the UCA and actively supported their cause.

Due to him meeting Amelie, he finds out the truth about everything and becomes a hyper-fatalist hellbent on creating about a massextinction of humanity, the sixth such event. He implores Sam to cave in to the reality of his apparent inevitable destruction. His philosophy is heavily influenced by his realization of extinction entities and their purpose. As noted above, he accepts this fate without pause, and even manipulates Sam into helping the acceleration of the 6th Extinction Event.
