> "*But I never made a wish. No, no, no. Not I, heh. Couldn't think of anything to w-wish for, even if I tried. Got everything I need right here. Never fit in with the rest of the Serpentine, so I'm happy enough to have a family.*"

**Clancee** is a Serpentine hybrid and a former Sky Pirate. Aspiring to become a pirate since he was a child, Clancee eventually joined Nadakhan's crew. He participated in the battle aganist Captain Soto, where the Sky Pirates lost and Clancee was marooned in another realm for centuries. Eventually, he was freed by Clouse and was forced to assist him in mining Dark Matter from the Dark Island. When Clouse was defeated at the hands of Master Wu, Clancee was imprisoned in Kryptarium Prison.

## History

### Early Life

When he was still in his egg, Clancee was abandoned by his mother. Missing a leg since he was a child, Clancee grew up as an aspiring pirate. For unknown reasons, he never fit in with the other Serpentine.

#### Following his Dream

To pursue his dream to become a pirate, Clancee entered up at Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys. Despite being ultimately kicked out due to his incompetency, Clancee continued trying to practice being a pirate, regardless of his chronic seasickness. At some point, he grew a liking for mopping and even gained a mop for himself, considering it his only friend.

#### Joining Nadakhan's Crew

When he became older, Clancee moved to Stiix, helping swab the docks. He would find his lucky break when he encountered one of the Sky Pirates, and after accidentally falling into the ocean alongside him, he was mistaken for part of the crew by Flintlocke and brought aboard the *Misfortune's Keep*, accomplishing his dream. Satisfied, Clancee would retain his position as the Head Ship's Mate.

#### Meeting Doubloon

Clancee would later return to Stiix, docking at the city and conversing with Flintlocke. Approached by Doubloon, who secretly intended to steal Nadakhan's treasure, he directed the master thief to the *Misfortune's Keep*, and once Doubloon was out of ear-shot, readily agreed with Flintlocke that the thief only wanted to steal gold. Later, he would catch Doubloon red-handed alongside his captain, Flintlocke, and Monkey Wretch, and witnessed Doubloon's transformation into a two-faced being.

#### Battle Against Soto

Later, he would help participate in a battle against Captain Soto and his *Destiny's Bounty*, personally engaging No-Eyed Pete and his parrot in combat. However, after Nadakhan was trapped in the Teapot of Tyrahn, Clancee and the rest of the crew were defeated and banished across the Sixteen Realms.

### Released

***The following events were undone due to Jay's final wish, and thus, did not happen in the current timeline.***

#### Reuniting the Crew

Clancee would be rescued from his realm by Nadakhan using the Realm Crystal. Reuniting with the rest of the crew, he meekly welcomed Flintlocke, cleaning the latter's pistols. Later, Clancee would celebrate with his crew aboard the Misfortune's Keep, and make the decision to accompany his captain to Djinjago, holding the Teapot of Tyrahn for Nadakhan. However, to his horror, he would witness the collapse of the realm and watch as his captain received the Djinn Blade. Stumbling back as Nadakhan destroyed the Teapot, absorbing the souls within, he would escape back to Ninjago, planning vengeance with the rest of the crew, and help convert Misfortune's Keep into an airship. While gathering supplies, he would stumble across a newspaper with an image of Nya and show it to his captain, bewildered by the phenomenon of the Water Ninja being identical to his deceased friend Delara.

#### Raid on Ninjago City

Helping operate the Misfortune's Keep during its first flight, Clancee would discover his airsickness, much to Flintlocke's amusement. After the Misfortune's Keep crashed into the Mountain of a Million Steps, he helped in trying to free the ship, only to be reprimanded by Monkey Wretch, accused of trying to do the mechanic's job for him. After reuniting with the rest of the lesser members of the Sky Pirates, he would participate in an attack on New Ninjago City in order to draw out the ninja. Confronting Jay, he succeeded in separating him from Kai, allowing Nadakhan to trap the Fire Ninja in the Sword of Souls. With another soul in their possession, Clancee and the rest of the crew proceeded to escape.

#### Rebuilding Djinjago

Helping operate the Misfortune's Keep, Clancee would gloat over conquering his airsickness, only to dreadfully realize his mistake before going off to vomit. Later, he would witness the reconstruction of Djinjago and after celebrating over their capture of the Destiny's Bounty, cheer for his captain, cementing his loyalty. Later, he would help pilot the Sky Shark alongside Flintlocke and Monkey Wretch, having an aerial battle with Lloyd over Tiger Widow Island before escaping with a captured Jay in tow.

#### Capturing Jay

While swabbing the deck with the imprisoned Jay, Clancee would discuss the backstories of the Sky Pirates with the Lightning Ninja, only for the latter to suddenly proclaim that he wanted to wish it all away. Fooled, Clancee rushed off to find his captain, only to be reprimanded over his foolishness.

Nadakhan would proceed to kick him off of the Misfortune's Keep, causing him to land on Doubloon's Raid Zeppelin and battle with Jay, only to later fall off. Afterward, having a dispute with Monkey Wretch over his right to swab the deck thanks to Jay's presence, he thanked Flintlocke for settling the dispute, claiming swabbing the deck calmed his nerves, and would later bear witness to Jay's matches of Scrap-N-Tap.

Later that night, Clancee, giving Jay his food, would remark of his admiration for the latter's strength and gave him an eye-patch as a sign of his respect. He would then participate in the Sky Pirates' ruse, laughing when Jay fell for it, remarking that even he wasn't stupid enough to fall for that kind of trick. He presumably watched as Jay endured more of the crew's abuse in Scrap-N-Tap after they announced another round.

#### The Prisoner's Escape

While patrolling Djinjago, Clancee would confront the disguised Nya and Lloyd, and assuming their status as new recruits, educate them on the hierarchy of the Sky Pirate crew. After hearing Lloyd speak and affectionately dubbing him "Mutt the Miracle," he would go on to help capture the ninja.

Later, he would participate in the ensuing chaos when the ninja began to use their wishes, eventually falling onto the clouds below as a result of Cole's wish. Thankfully, he and everyone else landed safely thanks to Nya's wish, and he would attempt to capture the ninja, only for Jay and Nya to escape. Frustrated, Nadakhan turns to Clancee, forcing the hesitant Serpentine to use one of his wishes to trap Cole and Lloyd inside the Sword of Souls. Nadakhan would then pressure him into wishing for their imprisonment, before leaving on one of the Raid Zeppelins.

#### Hunt for the Ninja

Clancee would participate in an attack on the police headquarters and bear witness to the Police Commissioner, Tommy, and Simon jumping into the Endless Ocean, frightfully commenting on how the Tiger Widow venom would allow the ninja to defeat his captain.

After watching Flintlocke's failed mutiny and subsequent demotion, Clancee would be promoted to First Mate in his place. Later, he would lead the ground assault on Lighthouse Island, and after disabling the door trap, confront Echo Zane.

#### Preparing the Wedding

Clancee and Doubloon attempted to fit Nya into her wedding dress, eventually succeeding with Dogshank's help. However, discovering the Tiger Widow venom stored away, he would eventually heed Nya's pleads and not report his discovery to Nadakhan.

Placed in charge of the ceremony, Clancee carried out Nadakhan and Nya's wedding, and by declaring the two of them husband and wife were able to grant his captain the power of infinite wishes.

#### Banished by Nadakhan

When the ninja were forced to escape, Clancee had a change of heart and told them the location of the Tiger Widow venom. When Nadakhan reprimanded him, Clancee confronted his captain, expressing his disgust over the Djinn's descent into greed and selfishness. Deciding to set an example, Nadakhan promptly banished Clancee to another realm for his insubordination, before going on to banish Doubloon and Monkey Wretch as well.

As a result of Jay's final wish erasing the events following Nadakhan's return, Clancee was restored back to the realm Soto had trapped him in, with no memory of the events that had happened.

***The following events occurred after Jay made his final wish, and thus, happened.***

#### Helping Clouse

Clancee was eventually rescued by Clouse alongside the rest of the Sky Pirates, with the sorcerer needing help in kidnapping a workforce from Ninjago's sailors. With his magic restored by the power of the Island of Darkness, Clouse attempted to persuade Clancee and the others to serve him, but unable to serve another, he attempted to leave. However, threatening to banish Clancee and the others once more, the Sky Pirates had no choice but to serve Clouse, thus forcing Clancee to engage in routinely kidnappings of fishermen.

Regrouping with the rest of his crew to help transport the final trove of Dark Matter alongside Clouse, Clancee, aboard his Raider Bike, was the first to spot an incoming Kai and Cole. Not recognizing the two, he was nevertheless instructed to open fire on the two by Flintlocke. After the rest of the ninja arrived at battle the Sky Pirates, Clancee eventually escaped after Clouse summoned a sandstorm to give them cover.

After arriving at the Temple of Light and dumping the final Dark Matter trove, Clancee was then instructed to defend the corrupted structure from the ninja, with help from an army of Shadows summoned by Clouse. However, despite his best efforts, Master Wu would use the Golden Mech to defeat Clouse and disperse the Dark Matter, banishing Clouse to the Underworld. Heavily overpowered and defeated, Clancee and the rest of his fellow Sky Pirates were forced to stayed on the island by the ninja.

### Visiting the Wailing Alps

Clancee and the other Sky Pirates left the Dark Island and went to Ninjago. There, he and his crew went on their separate ways and Clancee started to work in a bar near the Wailing Alps, hoping to be reunited with his fellow crew.

During his work, he became fond of one particular mop that he used to sweep the floor and named it "Moppy."

#### Accompanying Lloyd Garmadon

When the Green Ninja Lloyd came to the bar one day, shortly after the Oni's invasion, Clancee recognized him. Once Lloyd left to see the Wishmaster, Clancee decided to follow him, saying goodbye to his Moppy and leaving.

Clancee followed Lloyd as he made his way up the Wailing Alps. During this time Clancee thought of a variety of things, such as the final battle with Captain Soto and Misfortune's Keep. Whilst in his thoughts Clancee began singing the sea shanties of his crew. Lloyd heard him and attacked Clancee.

After Clancee promised he would confess his intentions after the snowstorm, he and Lloyd hid in a cave. An avalanche later came down on both of them. Although Lloyd got stuck, Clancee found a new skill of burrowing and helped get both himself and Lloyd out. After that, whilst they were walking up the snow, Clancee said that he hoped that the Wishmaster was his former captain Nadakhan and wanted to wish to reunite with his crew.

#### Finding the Wishmaster

Lloyd and Clancee arrived at the Hanging Temple. While Lloyd found nothing, Clancee found a scroll, which told of ominous tidings. Clancee fell down the floor to a lower level, though Lloyd helped Clancee get up. Lloyd and Clancee then saw a door with the Elemental Master of Ice's symbol and entered a room full of sculptures of former Masters of Ice. There they met a mysterious woman called Yana, who led them to their quarters in the mountain.

Lloyd was suspicious of the place and left without Clancee to explore. After some time Clancee also decided to explore the place by himself, going down a staircase where he found a large amount of treasures, including something he instantly recognized but hadn't seen for a long time. Just then, Clancee found a pistol aimed at his head.

Clancee was dragged to the Wishmaster, who revealed himself as Fenwick, and attempted to intimidate Lloyd by killing Yana. When that failed, Fenwick rewrote Dogshank's destiny to throw Clancee into a pit, where he was to be killed by Nimbus. After dodging Nimbus' attacks several times, Clancee's peg leg (named Peggy by Clancee) broke, and Nimbus was about to pounce on him when Lloyd agreed to Fenwick's plan.
