[edit] General Treister
A member of the executive leadership of OSI. A career military man, the General is 77 years old, and has had, by his own recollection, 8 heart attacks, and predicts that Brock Samson will be the cause of the 9th (because who's counting? And yes! WE ARE!). He bears a striking resemblance (with the exception of handlebar mustache) to Col. Nick Fury, of S.H.I.E.L.D., but speaks with a southern drawl similar to Foghorn Leghorn; the pacemaker device in his chest, however, bears a striking resemblance to the electromagnetic device in the chest of Tony Stark, Marvel Comic's Iron Man.
His most notable accomplishment in the Venture Brothers Series was to organize a strike force, which came to Samson's rescue, in the Season 3 Finale. A confrontation with Samson at the end of an epic battle between the forces of The Monarch and OSI results in Samson's resignation as a special agent of OSI.
It is also to be noted that in Mid-life Chrysalis, after Brock Samson fails his agent's license renewal test, the proctor tears up the failed test, revealing "My father is General Treister. You saved his life. The man spoke of you as a god- and you did not disappoint." Brock then reveals that he had once served as a baby-sitter for Treister.
