A Comparison:

"We fear not our mortality
We'll serve to the best of our ability
We give our lives to our masters
We vow to smite our enemies"

• The Gears - Dethklok

"You go off and meet your maker while 24 and I keep going this way."
21 & 24 - The Lepidopterists [S3E10]

[u/pswii360i → u/CarthageForever]

If we're captured our orders are "do not tattle on The Monarch"

That is it

[u/SASQUATCH_1997]

They seem like genuine fans of Deathklok! And if not at least a decent financial incentive. Henchmen are kinda just like minimum wage employees. Hell even guild assassins are paid badly lol

[u/Wise_Emu6232 → u/SASQUATCH_1997]

Dangerous idiots

[u/GreatestBeagleMind → u/Wise_Emu6232]

They don’t even make minimum wage!

[u/javerthugo → u/SASQUATCH_1997]

To be fair they do get free housing

[u/SASQUATCH_1997 → u/javerthugo]

Lol that gets blown up every month

[u/javerthugo → u/SASQUATCH_1997]

I mean still have you seen the tent in this area? You still come out way ahead

[u/NooNygooTh]

They're more on the level of fanatics or zealots

[u/ctoatb → u/NooNygooTh]

Acolytes

[u/NooNygooTh → u/ctoatb]

That's a good one, I actually think Disciples fits best.

[u/Coro-NO-Ra]

Gears / Klokateers tend to be a lot more intimidating than an average VB henchman

Though I'd probably put them a step below a standard OSI operator or Guild assassin

[u/ccReptilelord]

Sort of, but they're not working for a supervillain, so they're not henching.

[u/bimbimbaps → u/ccReptilelord]

I mean. Like. adjacent. Like they’ve definitely been to a level 10 party.

[u/Maniacal_Artist → u/ccReptilelord]

The amount of people that die at a Dethklok show would embarrass most professional villains

[u/Dumptruckfunk → u/Maniacal_Artist]

[charles ofdensen voice] They signed the waivers. They knew what they were getting into.

[u/carolvsmagnvs → u/Dumptruckfunk]

honestly hard to argue this point when every dethklok show ends pretty much the same way

Klokateers are, first and foremost, employees of Dethklok. They can range from equipment techs to assassins; and everything in between. If it came down to who is better at their job, I don't think there's a clear answer. More often than not, the Monarch's henchmen are incompetent, lazy slackers who shirk their responsibilities. There are exceptions, of course, like >! Scott Hall !<, 21, 24, and >! the Moppets !<. The Klokateers, on the other hand, are loyal to Dethklok no matter what. I don't remember what episode it was off the top of my head, but during the Klokateer initiation, Facebones mentions that death is an everyday occurrence at Mordland; and that still doesn't stop them from leaving

[u/TrustBig4326]

I mean both of them leave when they cant be paid anymore

[u/SquigglesJohnson]

Bands don't have henchmen. The Klokateers are roadies.
