The Security Minister is the most senior ape to appear on-screen. He is analogous to Zaius, in all his incarnations (movie, TV, cartoon), in that he is the ape with authority over the more aggressive elements of ape society, who struggles to contain those elements. Bippu is, however, more sympathetic to the humans than Zaius - he wants to integrate them into ape society and offers them equality. In the heavily-edited and English-dubbed version, 'Time of the Apes', he was known simply as 'The Commander'. Image:Totatitle.jpg
