“ | You have followed my instructions faithfully so far. Continue to do so. It's that simple. I consider your performance here on ZDR highly satisfactory. As I hoped, it has even awakened your Metroid powers. I was right to let you live during our first encounter. That one glimpse you showed told me everything. Submit and offer up your power. My plan is the only way to bring order to the galaxy. Fulfill your destiny, Samus. This is an order. Disobedience will not be tolerated. | „ |

“ | Did you truly believe you could defeat me? You overestimate yourself. You no longer serve any purpose. Even your Metroid DNA is no longer necessary. Do you want to know why? It is now because I can now clone an army of the most powerful Metroid of all... Samus Aran. No one can stand in my way. Not even you. Foolish daughter... Leave the galaxy to me. Close your eyes and rest. Power...is everything. | „ |

Ashkar Behek ("Raven Beak" in Chozo) is the overarching antagonist of the Metroid franchise, serving as the main antagonist of Metroid Dread.
He is the Chozo leader of the Mawkin Tribe, the overseer of Planet ZDR, and the supervisor of the Chozo scientist Quiet Robe, whom he took captive. He is also one of Samus Aran's genetic donors, which contributed to her physical prowess. He plotted to conquer the entire galaxy with an army of Metroids, previously slaughtering the Thoha Tribe for intending to kill the Metroids on SR388 and objecting to his plans. After the Metroids' extinction, he planned to clone a Metroid army from Samus.
He is voiced by Dave Rogers Ruiz.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- After he and the Mawkin helped the Thoha imprison the Metroids under Planet SR388, Raven Beak devised a plan to utilize them to take over the entire galaxy. When the Thoha objected to this, he had the entire tribe slaughtered, only sparing Quiet Robe because he had knowledge about controlling the Metroids.
- Due to exterminating the Thoha tribe to prevent them from eliminating the Metroids, X Parasites, and SR388, Raven Beak is responsible for most of the events that transpired within the Metroid franchise. This includes the Space Pirates— when led by Mother Brain and Ridley— using the Metroids as a means for galactic conquest, the creation of Metroid Prime and by extension Dark Samus, Samus' mission to exterminate the Metroids on SR388, the Galactic Federation cloning the Metroids and using MB to attempt to control them on the BOTTLE SHIP, the X Parasite outbreak on the B.S.L. Station, and (at least partially) explaining the disappearance of the Chozo across the universe.
- He plotted to bring back the Metroids so he could form an army of them and use them to rule the galaxy with an iron fist.
- He forces Quiet Robe to work for him and set up a mural depicting his massacre of the Thoha set close to Quiet Robe's work station, knowing that Quiet Robe was their only survivor.
- He feeds Chozo prisoners to the Drogyga, potentially because he has little tolerance for any defiance toward his orders.
- He hijacks the E.M.M.I. robots and programs them to kill Samus, despite viewing her as his daughter because he was one of her genetic donors.
- He keeps Kraid chained up and tortured whilst being partially submerged in lava. Even though, Kraid may have deserved it, it was still extremely cruel.
- He lures Samus to his planet using footage of an X Parasite and the absence of the E.M.M.I. robots, then strangles her into unconsciousness and drains her abilities, despite viewing her as his daughter. He only chooses to let her live so that she can develop her Metroid powers.
- He has Quiet Robe killed by a Robot Chozo Soldier in front of Samus after he reveals his backstory to her.
- He releases the X Parasites from their containment and helps them spread across ZDR despite knowing how dangerous they are. This resulted in planeticide by having the X Parasites infecting all live creatures across the planet apart from Samus and (initially) Raven Beak. This also risked a galactic plague should an X Parasite have escaped ZDR.
- During the ZDR self-destruct countdown, a Mawkin starship previously sighted in Hanubia is no longer visible, implying that an X Parasite may have actually escaped ZDR and now poses a galactic threat.
- During his final battle with Samus, he painfully drained her of almost all her energy whilst taunting her and would have killed her if the Metroid DNA inside her body hadn't kicked in.
- He attempted to kill Samus for the last time after being infected by a X Parasite, only for Samus to kill him and end his reign of terror once and for all.
