Though officially a peace enforcer, Peace Officer Brutus secretly led a gorilla extremist gang of 'Ape Supremicists' (operating like the Ku Klux Klan) who terrorised the humans and their sympathatic ape friends. Brutus murdered his wife Zena when she threatened to expose him, Brutus then laying the blame on Jason and so beginning their long saga. He was also in league with, first, the Inheritors, then the Gorilloids, to take over the ape city but was ultimately captured.
