Defcon

Defcon is the leader of the Tentin Force Team, the main antagonistic group in Pokémon: Return to Tentin.

In Pokémon: Return to Tentin
Spoiler warning!

Defcon is the main antagonist in the game.

Previously a Grunt in the Pokémon Poachers, he figured out that Umberto, the boss of the Pokémon Poachers, was trying to fulfill the Tentin Legend by attempting to sacrifice Ren so that Umberto himself could be the true king and ruler of Tentin.

Defcon, after learning this, left the Pokémon Poachers and created his own team, in secret, called the Tentin Force Team. The first member of the force team was Prime, who then went to work for the Pokémon Poachers to attempt to stop Umberto from becoming king. Ultimately, Prime fails to stop Umberto.

Upon hearing this news, Defcon decides to put things in his own hands and, during the events of Pokémon: Return to Tentin, his underling, Inigo, does speeches regularly to misinform the Tentin residents about Defcon's plans. He tells that the Darkness, an intangible being, will consume all of Tentin if not stopped by three chosen ones.

Inigo is also misinformed by Defcon himself, as Defcon purposefully does not explain that he wants to consume the Darkness to become an unstoppable being.

During the climax of the game, Defcon is stopped by the player and their rival, Alexa, atop the Umbra Bell Tower. Defcon initially absorbed the Darkness and became True Darkness, a tangible form of the Darkness without feeling or emotion. With the combined efforts of Alexa and the player, Defcon loses his "true Darkness form" and dies from intense burns.

Name origin
Defcon comes from the successor of the darknet market, the Silk Road, named Defcon.

This is a reference how the Silk Road successor took over from the original leader, just like how Defcon from Pokémon: Return to Tentin took the remaining members of the Pokémon Poachers from their original leader.
