Appearance
Nezbitt is tall and has brown hair. Nezbitt's business suit is black. In the virtual
world, he takes the appearance of Robotic Knight and later Perfect Machine
King.
Personality
Nezbitt is a misanthrope who believes in the inherent superiority of machines
over humans. His fascination with machines is reflected in his deck and his
choice of taking on the form of a Machine-type monster in the Virtual world. He
also tries to behave like a robot in his speech. He is also extremely brutal, as
seen when he takes over the duel against Yugi and Joey, palming Johnson by
the face and shoving him aside. He is also extremely sexist as he targeted
Serenity even when Tristan was a better target with his Cyber Commander.
Despite this, Nezbitt has shown courtesy such as deliberately taking the last
move in his single duel and allowing Serenity two minutes to make her move or
forfeit.
Nezbitt about to shove Johnson
… said 'shove' in action.
Voice and mannerisms
In the 4Kids version, Nezbitt often speaks in a monotone tone with a robotic like
dialect. In his "Robotic Knight"/"Perfect Machine King" forms, he has a
computerized voice. He tends to do machine puns on his speech.
Biography
KaibaCorp
Nezbitt worked at KaibaCorp, where he oversaw the military factories. Nezbitt,
along with 4 other KaibaCorp employees, formed a group known as the Big
Five.
Seto Kaiba, the adoptive son of the head of KaibaCorp, Gozaburo Kaiba,
convinces the Big Five that Gozaburo is mistreating them and he'll help restore
them to their former power. The Big Five agree and thus buy 49% of KaibaCorp.
Combined with 2% that Gozaburo had previously given to Seto for a test to
prove his business skill, the Big Five vote out Gozaburo and vote in Seto as the
president of the company. However Seto quickly backs out on their deal,
stripping them of their power and leaving the Big Five little more than
figureheads and consultants. Seto ordered Nezbitt to destroy his lab and had
him build the Duel Tower in its place. Nezbitt vowed revenge for Kaiba forcing
him to make games instead of weapons.
Duelist Kingdom
Furious over their betrayal, the Big Five strike a deal with the president
of Industrial Illusions, Maximillion Pegasus in an attempt to overthrow Seto. If
Pegasus defeats Seto and Yugi Muto in duels, then they will use their 49% to
vote Pegasus into power of the company by kidnapping Mokuba Kaiba, who
has been entrusted with the security codes to the two percent the Big Five
need.
The Big Five later watches the duel between Yugi Moto and Maximillion
Pegasus on the monitor. The Big Five and Pegasus' plan fails, after Pegasus is
defeated by Yugi. In the manga, Nezbitt and the rest of the Big Five are fired by
Seto and are never seen again.
Legendary Heroes
In the anime, the Big Five avoid being fired, by making excuses and offering
Seto his complete virtual reality game as a peace offering.
Eager to try out the virtual reality game, Kaiba refrains from immediately firing
them and enters the virtual world. The Big Five trap Kaiba in the virtual reality.
However Kaiba is rescued by Mokuba, Yugi, Joey, and Mai Valentine. The Big
Five reprogram the game and set the "Mythic Dragon" as the final boss.
However it is defeated by Yugi and Kaiba's "Dragon Master Knight".
Virtual Realm
After losing in Legendary Heroes, the Big Five got trapped in the virtual world,
instead of Kaiba. Here they meet up with Noah Kaiba. Having Seto as a
common enemy, they made plans for revenge.
During the Battle City tournament, Noah has the KaibaCorp blimp sucked into
an undersea fortress, where the virtual world's main servers are. They force
Seto and Mokuba Kaiba, along with Yugi and his friends into the virtual world
again. Using an altered set of Duel Monsters rules, involving Deck Masters, the
Big Five duel their enemies in the hopes of stealing their bodies to escape the
virtual reality.
Nezbitt as "Robotic Knight".
Nezbitt took the form of "Robotic Knight" to Duel Duke Devlin, Serenity
Wheeler and Tristan Taylor. He initially planned on dueling them 1 at a time,
starting with Serenity, but Duke and Tristan
