Rook Blonko/History

===Background===
Rook grew up as a farmer on his home planet, Revonnah, where he also practiced the martial art of Revonnah Kai under Kundo. To the dismay of his father, he joined the Plumbers. While attending the Plumbers' Academy, Rook met Scout, and they developed many techniques together. There, he also learned the game of soccer.Collect This At some point, the Vreedle Brothers blew up the academy, forcing Rook to take his final exam in a trailer on an asteroid. While stationed back on Revonnah, he took several classes via the Extranet.Many Happy Returns Prior to The More Things Change: Part 1, Rook was selected by Max to be Ben's new partner in place of Gwen and Kevin.
===Omniverse===
In The More Things Change: Part 1, Rook met Ben at Mr. Baumann's store when it was being attacked by members of Psyphon's gang. During this encounter, he introduced Ben to his Proto-Tool and Proto-Tech Armor. Although the criminals ultimately managed to get away, Rook and Ben managed to detonate the bomb they planted away from the populous. After a proper introduction, they sought to capture the criminals, chasing them into Undertown.
In The More Things Change: Part 2, Rook interrogated various citizens of Undertown, as they tried to hunt down the escapees. When Ben got in an unexpected fight with Buglizard, Rook managed to save him. The two eventually tracked down the escapees, leading them to Psyphon. While Ben was once again forced to take on Buglizard, Rook pursued Psyphon and defeated him.
In A Jolt From the Past, Rook introduced Ben to his Proto-TRUK. They looked around Bellwood for crime to stop, and eventually found Corvo harnessing the power of Nosedeenians. They followed the Nosedeenians to Fistrick's hideout, and worked together to bring down his Class 12 Armored Mecha Suit.
In It Was Them, Rook was introduced to Dr. Animo, who planned to become the king of giant ants. On their way to his home base, Rook expounded several ant-related facts to Ben, and later figured out how to sneak into the giant anthill. While Ben fought Dr. Animo, Rook retrieved the Kormite Power Core, and detonated the core as to only atomize the ants.
In So Long, and Thanks for All the Smoothies, Rook and Ben explored an abandoned Contumelia ship, where they encountered Argit, the Vreedle Brothers, and the Incurseans. Rhomboid accidentally set off the Annihilarrgh, killing everyone, including Rook. Using Alien X, Ben re-created the universe, essentially reviving Rook. Although Ben tried to explain the situation, both Rook and Argit didn't buy his story.
In Hot Stretch, Rook assisted Ben in the pursuit of Ester, who had stolen a Nuclear Fusion Device. They followed her into Undertown, where they met the rest of the Kraaho. Despite Ben warming up to Ester after she saved them from the Kraaho, Rook doubted her good intentions. Once lava began to seep up from underground thanks to the Kraaho, Rook took the job of distracting them while NRG ate the fusion engine. In the aftermath, Rook drank an entire jug of lemonade to cool off.
In Have I Got a Deal for You, Rook informed Ben of Hokestar's history via the Extranet. After Rook was informed that Ben had a Screegit, he came to help deal with the dangerous situation. Once it was deprived of nitrogen, Rook took the Screegit on the behalf of the Plumbers, and began to grow a distaste for Pax.
In Of Predators and Prey: Part 1, Rook and Ben found themselves in a fight with Khyber's canine. They staged a fight between each other in Undertown to lure out their attacker, which led to Ben's capture at the hands of Khyber.
In Of Predators and Prey: Part 2, Rook tracked Ben to Khyber's ship using his Plumber Badge. While Ben was once again forced to fight Khyber's pet, Rook fought Khyber himself, managing to take him down with the Proto-Tool's versatility. However, while commandeering the ship, Khyber recovered, and trapped Rook in a sticky substance. Using Big Chill, Ben managed to save Rook as the ship plummeted into a forest.
In Many Happy Returns, Rook met Gwen and Kevin for the first time, when he rescued them and Ben from Princess Looma's attacks. He and Kevin became fast friends due to their shared love of their vehicles. He also got along with Gwen, who has a similar down-to-earth nature. Rook, along with the others, tried to rescue Kevin from his engagement with Looma, but they were unsuccessful. He watched Ben fight Looma, who inadvertently engaged himself to her in Kevin's place.
In Gone Fishin', Rook joined Ben, Max, and Magister Patelliday on a fishing trip at Spaceman's Wharf, when the latter was unexpectedley captured by Captain Kork's Mechaneers. The three travelled through Undertown's waterways and to Kork's ship to save him, where Rook freed several ships trapped by the captain.
In Outbreak, during a fight with Dr. Psychobos' robotic snakes, Ben's Omnitrix was tampered with, and Rook was accidentally transformed into a Revonnahgander/Gourmand hybrid. Despite his inexperience in his new form, Rook was able to fend off escaped prisoners of the Plumber Headquarters. Despite the setback, Rook was able to help his fellow Plumbers reclaim the Plumber Headquarters from Psyphon and his lackeys. Once Blukic and Driba fixed the Omnitrix, Rook was returned to his original form.
In Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothy's, Rook and Ben were tasked with taking down a rampaging Trombipulor. However, because of Blukic and Driba's missing Rook's calls, they had to fight him alone. Rook was forced to fight Trombipulor's robotic mice, while Ben took on an enlarged Trombipulor as Way Big.
In Malefactor, Rook attended the Olde Bellwood Days festival with Ben, who was a guest. While there, he dunked Ben into a water tank several times, much to Ben's chagrin. When Khyber and his pet attacked them, he was once again challenged by Khyber while Ben dealt with the pet. Khyber eventually told Rook that they were a distraction so that his accomplice could get into the Proto-TRUK, who would turn out to be Malware.
In Bros in Space, Rook visited Revonnah with Ben for the harvest festival. There, they met up with his sisters, Shar, Shim and Shi, his younger brother Young One, and his parents, Rook Da and Rook Bralla. However, his father was still angry about him leaving home. During their dinner, Ben was introduced to Rook's girlfriend, Rayona. Later, as the Muroid population began to act unusual, Rook and Ben took it upon themselves to investigate their behavior. They found Fistrick training them, and while Ben took him on, Rook commanded the Revonnahganders to fight back against the Muroids in their harvesters. Rook and his father came to an understanding, and he was invited to come back for the next harvest.
In Arrested Development, Rook was de-aged along with Ben by Billy Billions, regaining his bi'nthak. Blukic and Driba tried to reverse the effect, but failed. After going to Billions Tower, they, along with Billy, almost got sucked into a portal to Dimension 12, but Rook was able to shut off the portal.
In Rules of Engagement, Rook helped Ben defeat Fistina, in turn infatuating her with him. Rook later drove Ben, Julie, Hervé and Ester to the hot spot, where Looma was wreaking havoc. She kidnapped him (per needing "something blue" for her and Ben's wedding), and brought him to Ben's house. He was able to escape using his Proto-Tool, which he also used to free Ball Weevil from his own plasma.
In Showdown: Part 1, Rook asked Ben what happened to Feedback, which went unanswered by Ben. shortly after, they were teleported by Azmuth to the Galvan Museum. While Ben fought Khyber's pet, Rook lent his Proto-Tool to Azmuth, who made a whistle out of a bone. Rook used it to counter Khyber's commands. After Khyber transformed his pet into Omnivoracious, Rook gave Azmuth the whistle, who then used it to turn her into Vicetopus. Azmuth then prompted Ben to tell Rook about Malware and Feedback. Ben and Rook left the museum, only to see Galvan B blow up.
In Showdown: Part 2, Rook and Ben leapt into action, combatting Galvan B's debris falling down to Galvan Prime. After discovering it was really pieces of Malware, they were confronted by him, and after a brief fight, they were forced to retreat. While the others went off to do their tasks, Rook and Gwen stayed in the Proto-TRUK to help Azmuth repair the Helix, which Feedback used to petrify Malware.
In T.G.I.S., Rook and Ben teamed up with the Secret Saturdays to track down Chupacabras that had been absorbing the life energy of aliens. After learning of Argost's revival and team-up with Dr. Animo, they received news of them attacking Bellwood with an army of Frankencryptids. Once the two were defeated, Zak asked Rook to take a picture of him and Ben as an alien, despite Rook already being an alien.
In Tummy Trouble, Rook and Ben travelled to Peptos XI after Upchuck sensed something was amiss. They found its inhabitants, the Gourmands, at war with the Incurseans. While Ben and the Murk Gourmands left to save the queen of the Gourmands, Rook stayed behind to help the Perk Gourmands fight back. Once Plan Omega was initiated by the queen, Rook and Ben left the planet as it was consumed.
In Vilgax Must Croak, Rook, Ben, Hobble, and two other Plumbers were tasked with delivering Vilgax to Incarcecon. Inside the prison, they encountered Attea and the Sotoraggian bounty hunters, who wished to kill Vilgax. After knocking the four out, the heroes split, with Rook and the Plumbers looking for a way to call for help. After defeating them for a final time, Rook went on to disable the blackout field, which in turn left Ben alone with Vilgax, who escaped.
In Ben Again, Rook and Max found Ben after Eon swapped his mind with his younger self's. He and Gwen took their Ben around Bellwood, where they found coordinates and names of Ben's transformations that his older-minded self placed. The three were led back to Mr. Smoothy, and they found Professor Paradox's Chrononavigator. In their ensuing fight with Eon, Rook took on his robotic minions. Once the timeline was restored, Rook met up with Ben at Mr. Smoothy, not remembering a thing.
In Rad, Rook and Ben were tasked with rescuing Magister Arnux and his squad from the poisonous planet of Terminus III. They went with the smuggler Rad Dudesman, whose ship would disguise them in Incursean territory. On the way, they found Pax had snuck aboard, much to Rook's annoyance. When they were captured by the Incurseans, Rook played the role of freeing their ship.
In While You Were Away, Rook and Ben found Young One on Earth after the Incurseans invaded Revonnah. They travelled back to their home world, only to find their family acting strange. They investigated further, and found Rook Shar and Sheriff Wat-Senn hiding underground. Eventually, both were affected by the Ogia Concentrate, leaving Rook and Ben to deal with Attea and Dr. Psychobos alone. They destroyed the majority of the formula, and forced the Incurseans to retreat. Rook wanted to stay back to help, but Da insisted he return to Earth to stop the Incurseans' next attack.
In The Frogs of War: Part 1, Rook saved Ben from a high fall with the Proto-TRUK while he was fighting the invading Incurseans. Later, he unknowingly brought Ben into the dogfight in space, and the two faked a crash to sneak onto the flagship that Milleous was on. While Ben kept him distracted, Rook hijacked the ship to make it shoot at its allies. Once the flagship crashed outside of Bellwood, Rook properly arrested Milleous.
In The Frogs of War: Part 2, after the Incurseans took over Earth using their Way Bads, Rook formed a small resistance with Gwen, Kevin, Argit and Blukic. After narrowly avoiding the wrath of a Way Bad, Argit suggested capturing Milleous while he is commuting. Although it was a set-up, they were saved by Ben as Bullfrag, who helped them break into the Plumber Headquarters. Rook then teamed up with Blukic and the freed Driba to take down Dr. Psychobos.
In Food Around the Corner, Rook was shrunken down by Blukic and Driba so that he could fight off the Hulex invading Gravattack's body and revert him before his core exploded. He later destroyed Poltroon's Sonic Frequency Device, allowing Rath to take him down.
In The Ultimate Heist, Rook unknowingly joined forces with Albedo (disguised as Ben) to take down Inspector 13, recruiting Argit, Fistina, and Solid Plugg along the way. Rook tried to help the real Ben defeat Albedo (now armed with a new Ultimatrix), but he successfully escaped.
In O Mother, Where Art Thou?, Rook and Ben encountered the Vreedle Brothers outside the Bellwood Museum, which led to the latter two's deaths at their own hands. After the revived Vreedle Brothers stole one of Ma Vreedle's Pretty Boys, Rook, Ben and Magister Patelliday were obligated to track the missing child down. Rook joined Ben for a fight on a train Ma planned to use to blow up the sun with, but he was eventually left behind once Ma separated her warhead from the rest of the train. He then tracked down the Vreedle Brothers, who had stolen Ma's warhead with intentions of setting it off.
In Max's Monster, Rook joined Max and Ben for a shopping trip in Undertown, where they were attacked by Phil. Once Ben as Buzzshock and the local Nosedeenians led an escaped Phil into Undertown, Rook, Patelliday and Max tried to suck him into the Null Void with a Null Void Projector.
In Evil's Encore, while escorting Solid Plugg through Plumber Headquarters, Rook and Ben stopped to watch Dr. Animo perform surgery on his stuffed animals. They soon left him to his own devices.
In Return to Forever, Rook and Ben fought and arrested Sweet-Eels Sparklefunk and Tummyhead. Later, they encountered the Forever Knights, who captured the two using their DNA Scanner. Not long after, Jimmy saved the two, and Rook fought one of the Twin Knights, the Red Knight, and Sir Morton, destroying the DNA Scanner in the process. Rook was then saved by Juryrigg, who reversed the effects of the Forever Knights' Highbreed Pulse Generator.
In Mud is Thicker Than Water, Rook left for an auto show on Khoros with Kevin. Later, Ben got a call from Rook, requesting for his help.
In OTTO Motives, Rook and Kevin attended the Khoros auto show. There, they found Argit, and soon, one of their old enemies, Otto, joined by the Violet Offenders. Soon, the criminals began terrorizing the auto show, but Rook and Kevin were able to take them out, much to the pleasure of Gar Red Wind. Once Otto and the Violet Offenders broke out, stealing several valuable cars, Rook and Kevin gave chase in their own vehicles. Rook called in Ben, who was teleported by Azmuth to the planet. Ben as Upgrade used Rook's Proto-TRUK and Kevin's car to create a mech to defeat Otto, which in the end ruined both of their vehicles. As thanks for their efforts, Gar awarded Kevin his Taydenite Car, accidentally leaving Rook without compensation. However, Kevin promised to help him repair the Proto-TRUK.
In A Fistful of Brains, Rook was left behind as Khyber and Albedo kidnapped Ben. He and Max scoured the galaxy for him, only to find Albedo's DNA scattered about. They eventually found Khyber's ship's tachyon-engine emissions, which led them to his base. After a dogfight with Albedo's drones, Rook and Max managed to crash-land inside the base.
In For a Few Brains More, Rook, Max and Ben all saved Azmuth from the villains, but not before the latter's intelligence was drained. They escaped to Earth, with Khyber and Albedo in pursuit. Rook and Max were initially taken out from the landing, but Rook recovered in time to help defeat Khyber's Ultimate Panuncian. Once Albedo was defeated at Billions Tower, Rook tried to detain him, until Albedo's Ultimatrix malfunctioned, turning him into an 11-year-old version of Ben.
In Something Zombozo This Way Comes, Rook and Ben investigated a circus ran by Zombozo and the Circus Freak Trio, where Rook was transformed into a Zombie Clown via a virus.

Rook managed to defend Kai from the Red Knight, until Joseph Chadwick called it and the others off. Rook and Wes later tried to escape, but were outnumbered, and the four were forced to help Chadwick obtain Excalibur. After Ben failed to retrieve the sword for Chadwick, the Forever Knights turned on the heroes, and the chamber began flooding. Rook offered Chadwick's cane to aid in the two parties' escape, and he and Ben parted ways with the Greens.
In Animo Crackers, Rook revealed that he had been watching Ben's Earth movies, and was confused by the logistics of romantic comedies in particular. Once Dr. Animo escaped alongside a Gorilla Toy, Rook, Ben and Magister Patelliday tried to stop him, but failed. They chased him into a forest, where they found Dr. Animo teaming up with his future self. While Ben and newfound ally Spanner chased the future Dr. Animo, Rook followed the original, and was forced to fight off his Mutant Squirrels. After Ben as Gutrot defeated the two doctors, Rook arrested present-day Dr. Animo.
In Rad Monster Party, Rook, along with Ben, Rad and Hobble, was forced to land on Anur Transyl after Rad's ship malfunctioned. On their way to find Scout, Rook was kidnapped by Kuphulu. Ben and Scout later rescued him and the others. Once the heroes got back to the Lovely Duck, they found Zs'Skayr, Crüjo, and Viktor awaiting them. Rook and Scout teamed up once more to defeat Viktor, though the team remained on Anur Transyl because Ben accidentally broke the Variable G Offset Modulator afterwards.
In Charmed, I'm Sure, Rook, Ben, Hobble, and Charmcaster (who was acting strangely) travelled to Z'Castle Zs'Skayr to stop Zs'Skayr and his minions. On the way, Rook tended to the sudden acne on Ben's face, taking misleading advice from Gwen. Once they reached Zs'Skayr, he teleported them outside of his castle, where they were attacked by Living Pumpkins. Once they were dealt with, Charmcaster betrayed the group, but Rook teleported her to Legerdomain using Gwen's Spellbook.
In The Vampire Strikes Back, the group tried to leave Anur Transyl, however, the Omnitrix forced them to land once more as it detected Vladat DNA on the planet. As they searched for the source, they encounter Zs'Skayr, his minions, and the newly-revived Lord Transyl. Using his Corrupturas, he took over the bodies of Rook, Scout, and Rad. Ben (as Whampire) and Hobble returned to the castle with Zs'Skayr's minions under the former's control, and Rook was pitted against Viktor and Kuphulu. Once Lord Transyl and Zs'Skayr were defeated by Atomix, Rook was freed from Lord Transyl's Corruptura, and he and the others soon returned home.
In Catfight, Rook took on a leadership role after Nyancy Chan mind-controlled Ben as Rath, while they were on a double date with Rayona and Ester respectively. Rook formulated many plans, but they all failed, and Ben was eventually freed once an Omnitrix Remote Control was broken. In the aftermath, Rook arrested Nyancy Chan.
In Collect This, Rook and Ben played soccer with some Kinecelerans in Undertown, until they came across Hokestar shooting a series featuring a fake version of Ben. Rook admitted to Ben that he was how he had envisioned his partner prior to meeting him. Rook and Ben soon found themselves preventing Collectimus from collecting the Earth. With Simian effectively kidnapped by Collectimus, Hokestar tried to recast Rook as "Gwevin", but he turned down the role.
In The Vengers, Rook, and more specifically Ben, found themselves in competition with Billy Billions, Mazuma, Kangaroo Kommando, and Captain Nemesis as superheroes. However, after Brainstorm formulated a plan in which the two were to do nothing, Rook went along with the plan, and it worked, as the Vengers turned against each other. In a last-ditch attempt to get back at Ben, the Vengers attacked the duo, with Rook fighting Captain Nemesis and Kangaroo Kommando, ultimately coming out on top.
In Cough It Up, Rook and Ben investigated a case of bounty hunters being after something in Undertown, along with Jimmy and Spanner. As they looked further into the case, the two constantly questioned whether Jimmy and Spanner were one in the same. They eventually found themselves in a fight with Psyphon and his hired bounty hunters at the Black Hole, where Rook fought the Sotoraggian siblings. Afterwards, Rook concluded that Jimmy and Spanner were separate people.
In The Rooters of All Evil, Rook was tasked with escorting the Rooters to Blukic and Driba's lab, as Servantis wanted them to find Kevin for his team. Rook tried to further stall them by noting the similarities of their Proto-Tech Armor, but failed once Swift alerted Servantis to the fact Ben had left. When a fight between the groups broke out at the Plumber Headquarters, Rook purposely destroyed the base's security systems, allowing Kevin to escape from the Rooters.
In No Honor Among Bros, Rook was accidentally exposed to Fistrick's "bro essence", warping his personality to be more like Fistrick's. Going under the name "Fistrook", Rook (along with Ben) entered the Golden Fist Tournament in Undertown. Rook and Fistrick both made it to the finals, where he successfully took Fistrick down, and later pacified Fistina, winning himself the Golden Fist. He then attempted to arrest those attending the illegal tournament.
In Universe vs. Tennyson, Rook and Ben found themselves struggling to detain criminals, as a lawyer named Chadzmuth continually freed them. Once Ben was placed on trial for having recreated the universe. Once Ben was placed on a universe-wide trial by Starbeard, Rook was one of the witnesses brought to the stand, where he stated he did not remember the universe's recreation. Rook finally saw Alien X for the first time proper during his fight with the Galactic Gladiator, proclaiming the transformation as awesome.
In Weapon XI: Part 1, Rook and Ben met up with Gwen, who showed them a cryptic letter from Kevin. They figured out it was telling them to retrieve Manny and Helen, while Kevin got Argit and Alan. With Kevin leaving to fight the Rooters alone, the gang regrouped at his workshop, where Alan filled them in on the situation. They all followed after him into the Rooters' base, where Servantis used his Loyalty Neuro-Matrix to turn the Amalgam Kids to his side. Rook fought Manny, though once Ben used Alien X to fight the Rooters, he, Gwen and Zed hid with Argit. They and Ben later retreated from the base.
In Weapon XI: Part 2, Rook and the others hid from the Rooters in the Null Void, where Argit recalled his and Kevin's previous run-in with the Rooters. They were soon forced to evade several Way Bads, and made their way back to the Rooters Headquarters. While Ben (as Gutrot) confronted Kevin, Rook, Gwen and Zed fought Swift and Leander. During their fight, they accidentally caused the Null Void Projector to blow up, but defeated the Rooters regardless. They later found Ben and Kevin, the latter of whom had just betrayed Servantis and restored the Amalgam Kids' memories.
In Clyde 5, Rook and Ben were tasked by Vera and Max to convince Ben's cousin Clyde into joining the Plumbers. Some time later, Clyde found the Mark 5 Nanoshift Enabled Exo-Armor (dubbing it the "Cincotrix"), thereby gaining "superpowers".

In Rook Tales, Rook and Ben met up with Rook Shar and Sheriff Wat-Senn on their way to the Plumbers' Academy, as well as Young One, who had stowed away on the Starliner Ship. While hanging out with Shar and Young One at Mr. Smoothy, the four encountered Kundo, who had also stowed away, desiring to take Rook's siblings home. A fight soon broke out, the group used the confusing nature of Earth to escape from Kundo. At Plumber Headquarters, Rook learned that Kundo had attacked Da on Revonnah, and went off on his own to defeat him with Revonnah Kai. Shar discovered on the Plumber Headquarter's monitors that he had found Kundo, and interfered with their fight, in turn leading to Rook's defeat. Kundo kidnapped him and Shar, with intentions of getting Young One, but was et by Ben, who held him off until Rook could recover. Realizing that his travels across the galaxy taught him well, Rook successfully defeated Kundo. Afterwards, he both celebrated Young One's bi'nthak coming off (allowing him to name himself "Rook Ben") and took Shar to the academy, her having missed her initial flight.
In Charm School, after a run-in with Suemungousaur, Rook and Ben were called to Friedkin University by Gwen. They found Hex teaching at the school, and were surprised that he turned over a new leaf. While Ben and Gwen searched for Charmcaster, Kevin invited Rook to help him make his car indestructible. Though they made it impenetrable to nearly any attack, they forgot to make it Magic-proof, and it was teleported away by an attack from Charmcaster, to both of their dismays.

There, they met up again with Kai and Jimmy Jones. During the tour, Subdora tried to steal the Orb of Pumapunku, prompting the group (along with Spanner) to stay overnight to watch over it. After Subdora's second attempt at stealing the artifact, Rook, Ester and Spanner followed her outside, though she escaped once more, albeit losing the orb in the process. She later returned with Exo-Skull, who despite the group's best efforts, was able to get away with the contents of the orb.
In Breakpoint, Rook and Ben investigated a series of crimes committed by Fistrick, Liam, Corvo and Solid Plugg. While Ben went undercover as Wildvine, Rook became enamored with meatball subs. At some point during Fistrick's scheme, Rook was kidnapped by him and hidden in a space station stocked with bulking fronds. Ben used Bloxx to get both himself and Rook back down to Earth safely, and Rook apprehended Fistrick's cohorts. Later, Rook inspired Ben to order Fistrick a meatball sub as payback.
In The Color of Monkey, Rook and Ben found out that Argit had started up a new security company, with Simian as his only employee. While investigating, they found Rojo trying to steal something, and Simian acting suspicious.

When Maltruant's chrono-cog was prematurely activated, Rook was the only one not to be accidentally sent to Mad Ben's dimension.
In It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World: Part 2, Rook recruited Hokestar to help him search for the Bens using his dimension-hopping Mr. Smoothy location. He found them after they defeated Mad Ben, and applauded Ben 23 for having learned a lesson about using his Hero Watch responsibly.
In Stuck on You, Rook and Ben were attacked by Khyber, who had recruited a Slime-Biot named Skurd to help him use the Nemetrix. They were saved by Blukic and Driba teleporting them back to Plumber Headquarters, and they soon used the same teleporter to arrive at Khyber's ship. While Rook made his way inside the vessel, Skurd caused Khyber to fully transform into Tyrannopede, breaking out of the ship. While Ben and Skurd teamed up to hold Khyber off, Rook broke the Nemetrix collar, reverting Khyber back to his normal state.

Using the Time Cycles, Rook and Ben put a stop to a rampaging Time Beast, and Professor Paradox helped reconcile the existence of the extra Rook, Ben and Skurd created.
In The Secret of Dos Santos, Rook, Ben and Skurd travelled to Dos Santos to help Kai find the Temple of the Sky. Once inside the temple, they fought a Jungle Guardian, which turned out to be controlled by a Galvan named Ujin.

Rook was quickly taken out of the fight by Exo-Skull, though he was ultimately defeated anyways.
In Third Time's a Charm, Rook and Ben were called by Kevin to Friedkin University, as Gwen had gone missing at the hands of Charmcaster. While reading in Hex's library for ways to help Gwen, Rook asked for the help of a custodian, who turned out to be the magician Bezel. Charmcaster eventually showed herself, and Rook fought off the Rock Monsters she summoned. Once Gwen, Hex, Addwaitya, and Darkstar were freed from Charmcaster's bag, Rook apprehended the latter.
In The Final Countdown, Rook was stuck at Plumber Headquarters watching Fistina while the other Plumbers tried to deal with Yetta. However, Kundo returned, now cybernetically-enhanced, and took over the base, seeing the Plumbers organization and their technology as a threat to the galaxy. Rook begrudgingly accepted help from Fistina and rallied the little Plumbers, attempting to take back the Headquarters. He, Fistina and Robucket fought Kundo, only to find out that he planned to blow up every Plumber base in the galaxy using a virus. Ben was able to get back into the base, and using Upgrade, reverse the virus' spread, but it was too late for the Bellwood Headquarters. Believing their fate to be sealed, Rook told Ben it was an honor to serve alongside him. With help from a damaged Robucket, however, they were able to launch the base into space and safely escape. Max rewarded Rook's handling of the situation by promoting him to Magister.
In Malgax Attacks, Rook was stated by Max to be visiting Rook Shar at the Plumbers' Academy.
In The Most Dangerous Game Show, Rook and Ben watched television, leading to Ben being selected as a contestant for Charles Zenith's "The Most Delicious Game" show. Rook watched Ben's love interests compete in the challenges, along with the other Plumbers. For the race on Anur Transyl, he sent Ben his Time Cycle at his request. Once they found out that Zenith had been sending the losers to the Null Void, Rook opened a portal allowing them all to escape. Back in Bellwood, Ben used Pesky Dust to trap Zenith in a dream where Rook told him how Revonnahganders live out their lives, ad infinitum, in turn defeating him. The real Rook then arrested Charles Zenith.
In The End of an Era, Spanner travelled back in time to bring present-day Rook, Ben and Skurd to a fight outside the Plumber Headquarters with Maltruant. Maltruant sent his lackeys to fight them while he modified his stolen Annihilarrgh. Rook once again went against Subdora, whose Positron Blaster backfired on her.
In A New Dawn, Professor Paradox gave Rook, Ben and Skurd a Time Beast egg to help them catch up to Maltruant in the Time Cycles. While travelling through time, Ben rammed their Time Cycles into Maltruant's chariot, sending both parties into the year 1773. After a crash-landing, the three met George Washington, and teamed up with him. After seeing the Chimeran Hammer in the distance, Rook went back for the Time Cycles while Ben and Washington fought a young Vilgax. He arrived with the Time Cycles as Maltruant made his escape, and after the defeat of Vilgax, the three left the past. They followed him to before time began, where they found a functioning Contumelia ship. They made yet another crash-landing, and continued their search for Maltruant on the ship. In one room, they found the Contumelia, who appeared to Rook as three copies of Rook Da. They learned that the Contumelia planned to create a new universe, and warned the Contumelia. The Contumelia teleported the three to Maltruant, who already put his plan in motion. Rook held off Maltruant, while Ben and Skurd attempted to break the Contumelia's barrier containing the Annihilarrgh. Rook assured Ben (as Chromastone) once more that it had been an honor to fight at his side, before Chromastone leaped after the plummeting Annihilarrgh. Once Ben absored the Annihilarrgh's energy and defeated Maltruant, the Contumelia invited the three to watch the creation of the universe proper. Rook and Ben said their goodbyes to Skurd, and Professor Paradox appeared, bringing the two back home. Later, in Bellwood, Rook and Ben decided to explore the universe they had saved, calling Gwen and Kevin for a road trip.
