Sword Art Online Season 1 Fandub
Robert J. Butcher VO for Heathcliff
DESCRIPTION
Kayaba Akihiko, known as Heathcliff in Sword Art Online, was the main antagonist of the Aincrad Arc and a supporting character in the Fairy Dance Arc and Alicization Arc. He was the development director and Game Master (GM) of "Sword Art Online" (SAO), as well as the designer of the "NerveGear", the Cardinal System, and "The Seed".
PERSONALITY
As his avatar Heathcliff, Akihiko eventually founded what later became Sword Art Online's strongest guild, the "Knights of the Blood". He was the owner of the first "Unique Skill", named "Holy Sword", and was considered to be strongest player in-game. He wielded the collective one-handed sword and tower shield called Liberator. He also was able to engage the boss of the 50th Floor in battle for ten minutes by himself, which earned him the title "Man of Legend". It was also rumored that Heathcliff's hit points (HP) had never reached the yellow zone.

If you want her, you'll have to use your Dual Blades to take her from us. If you can defeat me in combat, you'll be free to take Asuna. On the other hand, if you lose,...you WILL join the Knights of the Blood Oath!
I'm sorry about this, Kirito. (looking around at the crowd) I didn't think this would be such a big deal. This is crazy.
(nods slightly) Yes, I thought so. It was a mistake to think that would go unnoticed by you, but you were so strong and so fast, the only choice I had was to engage the System's Assist Mode. (more gasps; Heathcliff looks around at the stunned faces) Yes, I *am* Akihiko Kayaba! And, now that my identity has been revealed, it should come as no surprise that I'm the FINAL boss on the top Floor!
