Khanjikhan

**Khanjikhan** was Nadakhan's father and the ruler of Djinjago prior to its destruction.

## Biography

### Early Life

At an unknown point in time, Khanjikhan married an Djinn woman and became the Djinn King, to which he would be granted the power of infinite wishes as a result of their union and inherited the Djinn Blade as an heirloom of the royal family.

Afterward, he had a son, Nadakhan. However, when Nadakhan left Djinjago to explore Ninjago and became a pirate, Khanjikhan disowned his son, no longer welcoming him back to his home realm.

### Going Down with his Ship

Following the destruction of Djinjago's sister realm, the Cursed Realm, Khanjikhan's home realm likewise began to collapse, leading to the deaths of many djinns. Khanjikhan, however, refused to leave his realm and decided to stay behind until it was fully destroyed.

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

### Reunited with his Son

Upon his son's return to Djinjago alongside the Sky Pirates, Khanjikjan noted the poetic fittingness of his coincidental arrival as the realm began to collapse. Upon being asked why the realm was collapsing, he explained that, due to the Preeminent's death, and because Djinjago was the Cursed Realm's sister realm, this resulted in the collapse of their home. He then proceeded to give the Djinn Blade to his son, telling him to avenge the Djinn, and stayed behind as the realm collapsed, dying as a result.

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

As a result of Jay's wish erasing the events caused by Nadakhan's return, Khanjikhan would never give the Djinn Blade to his son in the first place, resulting in the artifact's destruction.

### Legacy

As Khanjikhan was a legendary figure and a notable individual in djinn history, a statue of him somehow ended up in Borg Tower, and various statues were created by his son in Djinjago before the timeline was reversed.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Wish Granting**: Like all other djinns, Khanjikhan was capable of granting wishes to other beings but not to himself.
	+ **Infinite Wishes**: After becoming a Djinn King, Khanjikhan was granted the power of infinite wishes, being able to grant wishes to himself and no longer having to follow a set of rules. However, he didn't use his wishes to save his home or people due to his sense of honour.

## Weapons and Equipment

* **Djinn Blade**: Khanjikhan wielded the Djinn Blade after being crowned Djinn King. He later passed on the blade to his son in an alternate timeline before his realm's destruction. However, in the main timeline, his son was never released from the Teapot of Tyrahn and the blade was destroyed along with Khanjikhan and the rest of Djinjago.

## Official descriptions

### Season 6 (2017 Museum gallery)

*The Djinn King is Nadakhan’s father and was the ruler of the realm of Djinjago. When Djinjago began to crumble, the Djinn King refused to leave, preferring to perish with his kingdom. He bestowed the Djinn Blade on Nadakhan before sending him back to the NINJAGO realm.*

### Nadakhan's pirate gang

*This fearsome djinn is Nadakhan's father. Although he's never been part of the crew, he gives the captain of the sky pirates his most powerful weapon - the Djinn Blade - **and tells his son to avenge the Djinn by destroying the ninja!***

## Behind the Scenes

* He has a CGI render of his minifigure, despite not having one.
	+ This CGI render has the same face print as Garmadon's master form.
	+ According to Michael Knap, Khanjikhan is one of the secondary characters designed for fans to be able to create from existing LEGO parts, though in Khanjikhan's case his beard and armor piece would not fit together.
* His belt uses the king crown symbol from LEGO's Castle (2007) theme.
* He uses the hair piece of Aurra Sing from LEGO Star Wars.

## Trivia

* His appearance is similar to his son's, but he appears to have a long gray beard strongly resembling Wu's. This beard style is called a Fu Manchu. His torso has different printing, his extra torso resembles Kozu's, and his eyebrows are also similar to Wu's.
* Khanjikhan is the only deceased Djinn King whose soul didn't go into the Djinn Blade upon his death. However, as a result of both the artifact and Djinjago's destruction, Khanjikhan's soul now rests in the Departed Realm along with every other Djinn King besides Nadakhan.
* The existence of his statue in Borg Tower is not a plot hole, but rather, it is simply an example of humans having a statue of a legendary being in the same way people in the real world may have a statue of a mythical creature.
* He is simply called "Djinn King" in the credits and on the website.
* He has a three-dimensional mouth, just like Wu, probably due to having the same beard piece.
