[edit] Backstory

Sludge Vohaul is the arch-enemy of Roger Wilco, and an evil clone of Slash Vohaul, Elmo Vohaul Pug's great-great-grand-clone and uncle of Raemes T. Quirk[1].

[edit] Game Information

Sludge Vohaul is the evil clone of Slash Vohaul, he was once like other humans but became twisted. Sludge claims he was the genius behind the Star Generator when it was still in the concept stages. It was to be his ultimate war weapon until some Elder scientists including Slash Vohaul decided it would be better used saving lives rather than destroying them.[2] While Sludge may have designed the concept, Slash Vohaul was considered better research and invented the actual technology. The cyborg Sludge was allowed to specialize only in the development of articial sweeteners and processed cheese foods. He vowed he would take revenge on the Confederation that did that to him[3]

During Space Quest 1 Vohaul stole the Star Generator program from Slash Vohaul, and employed the Sariens to defend it and execute his plan to use it as a weapon. However, his plan ended up being defeated by Roger.

At the time, though, Roger was not aware of Vohaul; he eventually learned it was Vohaul's plan he defeated when he met Vohaul in Vohaul's Asteroid Fortress orbiting Labion during Space Quest 2. At that time Vohaul was devising a plan to unleash door-to-door salesmen upon Xenon. Roger was eventually able to kill Vohaul by stopping up his life support system.

However, Roger still ended up encountering Vohaul again. It seems that Vohaul, in amazing foresight, had placed his thought patterns on a Leisure Suit Larry disk at some point during SQ2.

In the future, the government of Xenon (who coincidentally had also developed time travel abilities by that time) loaded up the infected Leisure Suit Larry software into their systems (which now controlled Xenon), and Vohaul was essentially re-animated. He sent Sequel Police to capture Roger in the Space Quest 4 era, but Roger's son, Roger Jr, managed to save him. Roger (Sr.) was sent to the Space Quest 12 era to stop Vohaul; however, Junior was captured while Roger was occupied in his task. Roger eventually managed to stop Vohaul yet again and save his son. Vohaul, who would have seemed to have been killed for good this time, was the victim of Roger's superior abilities (or dumb luck) with computers.

Vohaul is quite likely to make an appearance in the upcoming fangame, Space Quest: Vohaul Strikes Back. It is believed he may also appear in the fanmade Space Quest 7, but that fact has not yet been confirmed.

[edit] As Himself

(audio)

"Off to Magmetheus with you..." (info)
"Off to Magmetheus with you, then. It is time for Wilco to meet the fate which I have crafted for him."

"Hello, Roger Wilco." (info)
"Hello, Roger Wilco. Surprised to see an old friend? You have no idea how special this moment is for me. This is no chance encounter, I can assure you."

"I have just one loose end..." (info)
"I have just one loose end to tie up before I begin my reign as the supreme being of all that exists."

"I do not like to lose!" (info)
"I do not like to lose! You were a blemish on what would otherwise be a perfect record of domination, terror, and invincibility. Besides, I'm still a bit miffed about that asteroid deal in Space Quest 2."

"Anyway, to relieve the pain..." (info)
"Anyway, to relieve the pain of my humiliation, and prevent you from being a pain in my... future, you must die. It's been nice seeing you one last time. Men, do the dirty deed."

"Well, what have we here?" (info)
"Well, what have we here?"

"That is no longer a concern." (info)
"That is no longer a concern."

"Wilco will surrender..." (info)
"Wilco will surrender to us once he has learned we have captured his son."

"Then he will be destroyed..." (info)
"Then he will be destroyed, once and for all. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

"Take a good look, Roger!" (info)
"Take a good look, Roger!"

"Remember this poor, wretched soul..." (info)
"Remember this poor, wretched soul, for he is your son."

[edit] Possessing Roger Jr.

"Ah-ha-hah! Hello again, Roger." (info)
"Ah-ha-hah! Hello again, Roger. It's me, your old friend, Sludge Vohaul. I've taken the liberty of 'borrowing' your son's body. I had to remove him first, to make room for my mental self. His is on this disk. Say, it's most enjoyable to be in a young, healthy body, even if it's from your bloodline."

"In fact, I like it so much..." (info)
"In fact, I like it so much, I think I'll keep it. I guess we'll have no use for this, anymore."

"Now it's time to settle things..." (info)
"Now it's time to settle things, once and for all. You'd better be careful, though. Keep this in mind: If I die while in this body, that disk will be useless. Your son will never draw another breath. And if you don't defend yourself, you will never live to buff another helmet."

"Come on!" (info)
"Come on! Show me what you've got, mop jockey!"

"Is that the best effort..." (info)
"Is that the best effort you can muster? All this 'space hero' nonsense must be getting to you. You're getting old, Roger. I, on the other hand, am enjoying the physical joys of youth."
