Ronan the Accuser

"I will destroy you and your world!"

- Ronan the Accuser

Ronan the Accuser was a radical member of the alien race the Kree. A ferocious genocidal militarist, Ronan attempted to eradicate the Xandarians by forging an alliance with the Thanos, offering the Orb in exchange for the destruction of Xandar. After a long Quest for the Orb, Ronan finally aqquired the Orb, and decided against giving it to Thanos, choosing to take the Orb's power for himself. Using his new-found power he attacked Xandar but was defeated and killed by the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Early Life
Ronan is a sadistic, dogmatic member of the Kree who holds a strong authoritative position in his race's military. A supporter of Thanos, Ronan trained the warlord's two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula, to be fierce warriors.

In Thanos' quest to obtain the Infinity Stones, Ronan, who sought to bring about genocide against the Xandarian race, agreed to aid Thanos in his search for the Orb in exchange for Thanos' help in an attack against the Xandarian homeworld.

In the hunt, Ronan discovered that the Orb was hidden on Morag, only for it to be taken by the human outlaw Star-Lord.

The Chase Begins
Ronan, unwilling to be denied his chance for vengeance, sent Gamora to retrieve the Orb from Star-Lord, unaware that she planned on betraying him and Thanos by giving the orb to a third party: the Collector. Soon, he found out that Gamora had been captured and incarcerated in the Nova Corps prison of Kyln. When The Other, who was speaking for Thanos, began to annoy him, Ronan killed him by breaking his neck with his Universal Weapon. Thanos then ordered Ronan and Nebula to raid the Kyln. However, by the time they arrived, Gamora had already escaped along with the rest of her new allies. Realizing that the Nova Corps was coming to help retake the prison and knowing that none of the staff had any useful Information, he ordered Nebula to cleanse the prison.

Skirmish on Knowhere
Ronan eventually tracked Gamora and her allies to the planet Knowhere home of the Collector thanks to Drax the Destroyer who wanted revenge for Ronan killing his wife and daughter. When Gamora attempted to flee Ronan attempted to pursue only to be confronted by Drax and so he had Nebula pursue her instead. Drax launched numerous attacks at Ronan, but Ronan was easily able to evade Drax's attacks while landing several of his own. To prove a point, he even let Drax repeatedly punch him in the stomach to no effect. He beat Drax half to death and left him to drown in a vat of spinal fluid. Nebula then called Ronan having retrieved the Orb from Gamora and, with this information, Ronan returned to the Dark Aster.

Betraying Thanos and Battle of Xandar
On the Dark Aster, Nebula gave the Orb to Ronan who then attached it to the Universal Weapon. He was soon contacted by Thanos who ordered him to hand over the Orb over to him. Ronan realizing that with the Orbs power he no longer needed Thanos help to invade Xandar and so severed ties with the Titan and warned him that after he destroyed Xandar he would be coming for him next. Nebula having resented Thanos' treatment of her over the years joined Ronan and so the group converged on Xandar only to be confronted by the Nova Corps, Ravagers and Guardians of the Galaxy.

As the Nova Corps stalled the Dark Aster's approach on Xandar while Rocket Raccoon and the Ravagers protected the civilians, Ronan found himself confronted by Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, and Groot who blasted him with the Hadron Enforcer. However, Ronan was unaffected and easily overpowered the group. Before he could kill them, Rocket crashed his ship, heavily damaging the Dark Aster and causing it to crash. But once again, Ronan was completely unharmed. Walking out of the wreckage, Ronan mocked the group and began to unleash the Orb's power only to be distracted by Star-Lord allowing Drax to destroy his hammer, disarming him.

Quill quickly caught the Orb, only to be almost killed by its power, when Gamora, Drax, and Rocket grabbed his hand, helping with the burden of the Orb's power and directing its energy at Ronan, killing him.
