His story: The Other isThanos’ servant, which is how we first meet him inThe Avengers. He givesLoki the scepter, and waits for him to acquire the Tesseract in order to open the portal between Earth and theChitauri army (and does a little telepathic threatening of Loki when it starts taking a little too long). By the film’s end, he’s explained to Thanos the failure of Loki and the Chitauri and warns him that challenging humankind is as good as courting death. (Foreshadowing!)

He next appears inGuardians Of The Galaxy, where he acts as the intermediary between Thanos andRonan The Accuser, who have made an agreement wherein Ronan acquires the orb containing an infinity stone for Thanos, and in exchange, Thanos will destroy the planet Xandar. However, after learning thatGamora has stolen the orb and betrayed Ronan, The Other summons Ronan (along with Thanos’ other daughter,Nebula) and chastises him, until Ronan loses his temper and kills The Other by snapping his neck with his concussive weapon. Which is how we learned never to pick a fight with a Kree.

Played by: Alexis Denisof

Currently, The Other is: R.I.P.

Where will we see him next? That’s probably it for the little guy.
