Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War Prelude Dub
vindikator for Kaecilius
Voice:
We are looking for a performance similar to Mads Mikkelson's portrayal of the character. A strange accent with a hint of being totally insane.

Character Description:
Kaecilius was a sorcerer and a former member of the Masters of the Mystic Arts who became disillusioned with the Ancient One when he felt his mentor was not allowing other dimensions to come to Earth, which he believed could then reunite him with his deceased wife and son. He formed the Zealots with the intention of defeating the Ancient One and bringing the inter-dimensional being known as Dormammu to Earth but was challenged by his former brothers-in-arms as well as a new Master, Doctor Strange. He was defeated and became part of the Dark Dimension for all eternity, gaining him the immortality he had desired, but at a horrific cost that he had refused to understand.
Personality:
Kaecilius was a proud and darkly driven man. Eerily similar to Stephen Strange, he displayed arrogance and an inflated sense of self-worth, but like Strange, Kaecilius had successfully mastered the mystical arts and suffered great loss in his life. The death of his child and wife fueled him with anger and hate, but he initially sought to heal himself of grief upon their deaths, seeking the Ancient One and Kamar-Taj to achieve this.
Unfortunately, Kaecillius could not comprehend how death was a natural part of life rather than just a step behind humanity's evolutionary peak. Viewing time and death as the true enemy of everything, he was enraged by how the Ancient One did not permit access to other dimensions but siphoned energy from the Dark Dimension to power herself anyway. Feeling cheated out of reconciling with his dead family by his hypocritical mentor, Kaecilius eventually went down a malevolent path - cold and nihilistic. However, Kaecillius came to believe that he was doing good as surrendering Earth to Dormammu would grant humanity immortality and rid the world of death, writing his actions to Strange as saving the world.
Kaecilius: "You cannot stop this, Mister Doctor. This is the end and the beginning. You are a doctor. A scientist. You understand the laws of nature. All things age, all things die. In the end, our sun burns out. Our universe grows cold and perishes. But the Dark Dimension, it's a place beyond time. Beyond death."
Kaecilius: "Do you wonder how she lives so much longer? So, you know. The ritual gives me the power to overthrow the Ancient One, and turn her centers down, to let the Dark Dimension in. Because what the Ancient One owns, Dormammu gives freely. He's not the Destroyer of Worlds, doctor, he's the Savior of Worlds."
Kaecilius: "People think in terms of good and evil, but really, time is the true enemy of us all. Time kills everything."
