==Background / Personal history:==
A very long time ago he was born as the result of an experiment by a secret society with the intent to create a god who could bring the whole world under his command, and be a perfect, immortal leader. He appeared to be a normal child at first, but as he was raised by this cult it was clear that he was a prodigy to end all prodigies. He picked up languages overnight. He mastered magic that took most people ages to learn, but the more he grew, the more he began to see the people raising him for what they were, obsessed with an idea, desperate for it. Disgusted by the new light he saw them in, deciding to pursue perfection on his own, he left, and the cult members were helpless to stop him. He wandered the world for centuries, trying to figure out what the ‘perfect leader’ would actually be, but the more he interacted with people the more he disliked them, and the more he learned of the world, the more he recognized flaws, until eventually, all he could see were flaws. Flaws in people, memories, history, magic, physics. And he reached a conclusion, that existence itself was a flaw, and the perfect leader would be the person who put an end to it. The goal was a grand one, and he knew that while he was technically immortal, he could still be killed like anyone else if he were to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, so he decided on his secondary goal, come up with as many “backup plans” to preserve his life as possible, with the idea that with enough time, even something as ridiculous sounding as ending existence would become an inevitable conclusion. All he has is time, but he's very patient.
== Extended Description: ==
Vyze doesn’t seem like much at a glance, his long hair is always unkempt, his clothes are always rumpled and messy, he appears to be constantly tired and unconcerned. He stopped caring about superficial things like his appearance long ago. The only thing important to him is his goal, and his “backup plans”. whenever he absolutely had to interact with someone, he would create a false image of himself to do so, and his real body never actually left his lair. In terms of personality, he acts detached like he’s unrelated to everything that happens and just complains mostly, about how pointless the actions of others are, about how insignificant life actually is in the grand scheme of things. He doesn’t believe there is any value in anything other than what advances his goals and dismisses any idea that would suggest otherwise.

==List of adventures:==
*Come Fly To Space: Hortense would love to abduct Forest and Reed just like he abducted those students at Fennis's school. He tried in Come Fly To Space, but was thwarted by the Firebreathing Kittens. If they hadn't interfered, Hortense would have taken them aboard his spaceship. Things Hortense is shown to have invented in this episode: starships (mothership and shuttle), tractor beam, force fields, stick metal robots he can control that have a tablet video screen sort of thing with his face as their face, and bases like Segways. 
*CATegorical Success: Fennis learned that he was the one who kidnapped the students, and that he has abilities to mind control and teleport people. He uses robots to try to brainwash spellcasters so he doesn't have to deal with them himself. Fennis still doesn't know his name, identity, and that he founded Stunten academy - just his full appearance and that he kidnaps, mind controls, and brainwashes people. 
*Roots Of Corruption: Hortense had been experimenting with a purple slime, Chlroplasia, but wasn't satisfied with how slowly it spread. So he abandoned it, and it wreaked havok in this episode, not that he knew or cared. 
*A Collaborative Effort: Teamed up with a Acnev Cugel to disrupt the protection around Hush for the mysterious source of it's power.
