Chen

**Master Chen** was the leader of a secret cult of followers who worshiped the Anacondrai and the former owner of Mr. Chen's Noodle House. A master of deception, Chen was responsible for the Serpentine War, causing him to be exiled to a secluded island when the Serpentine he aligned with lost. Over the years, Chen built up his criminal empire while also making money in Ninjago City through his noodle house. He also had a daughter, Skylor, who inherited the element of Amber from her mother.

Shortly after Zane's presumed death, Chen had him kidnapped and organized the Tournament of Elements as a cover to steal the powers of the Elemental Masters, so he could perform a spell that would turn his followers into Anacondrai. This plan eventually succeeded, turning him into "**Chen-acondrai**," but their mission to destroy Ninjago was thwarted when Chen's former pupil, Garmadon, unleashed the Anacondrai generals from the Cursed Realm. The generals cursed Chen and his cultists, before banishing them to the Cursed Realm. Months later, the Preeminent was unleashed into Stiix. When Nya drowned the beast, the Cursed Realm was destroyed, killing Master Chen and all of its inhabitants.

A statue of Chen was later placed in the Ninjago Museum of History. When Cole accidentally opened the Departed Realm, Chen's spirit escaped and possessed the statue in the museum. Chen set off to exact vengeance, in his case allying with Eyezor and Zugu and going after Kai and Nya. After a lengthy chase using the Chenosaurus, Chen fired a missile at Nya, who repelled it with her element and sent it back towards Chen, destroying his statue and sending his spirit back to the Departed Realm.

## History

### Early Life

When he was young, Chen became vain when he was told he would amount to nothing, compared to the Elemental Masters, who were naturally born with unique abilities. This led him to develop a hatred for Elemental Masters and wanted their powers for himself.

### Serpentine Wars

#### Training Students

At one point, he became a master and trained a sorcerer named Clouse. Some time later, he began to train Garmadon. He taught both of them to win at all costs. When a duel broke out one day between his students, he decided to intensify it by declaring that the winner would become his right-hand man and be granted lordship. Garmadon cheated and used Spinjitzu to win, which Chen had forbidden, though the master dismissed it, and even praised Garmadon for his deception while granting him the title of Lord.

#### Manipulating Garmadon

Later, Chen presented Garmadon with a letter he had intercepted. It was a love letter which was written by Garmadon's brother Wu and addressed to Misako, a girl both brothers loved. Chen convinced Garmadon to sign his own name, further stimulating the young lord's dark impulses.

#### Starting a War

Meanwhile, tensions were growing between man and Serpentine, and Chen, who was bored with peace, decided to use the unrest to his advantage. He convinced each side that the other was going to attack, thus prompting an all-out war. Chen decided to ally himself with the Serpentine and asked Garmadon to aid him, though his pupil instead left to help his brother, to Chen's irritation.

#### End of the War

Chen, however, managed to convince the Elemental Master of Earth to turn against the Elemental Alliance (using a Hypnobrai's hypnotism abilities in at least one case), which caused them to lose a battle against the Anacondrai. Nevertheless, the alliance managed to win the war by subduing the snakes with the Sacred Flutes. For their treason, Chen and Clouse were exiled to a secluded island.

### After Banishment

#### Building his Empire

On the island, Chen began to build his criminal empire. He gathered an army of followers and began producing noodle goods in a large factory on his island and sending them to the mainland, where he founded a noodle company named Mr. Chen's Noodles. During this time, Chen made several connections in the criminal underworld.

Chen also made several paintings of himself.

At some point, Chen created the Staff of Elements out of Chronosteel and a blue crystal, planning to use it to steal Elemental Powers.

At some point, he and the Elemental Master of Amber had a daughter named Skylor who inherited her mother's power. Shortly after Skylor's birth, her mother disappeared due to unknown reasons. It's unknown if Chen had any involvement with her disappearance.

Sometime later, Chen heard word that Ray and Maya, the Elemental Masters of Fire and Water, had betrayed Wu and the rest of the Elemental Alliance to work with Acronix and Krux.

#### Collecting Tresures

In 2012, some time after Lloyd unleashed Pythor from the Anacondrai Tomb, Chen raided the abandoned resting place of the tribe in order to loot their remains, shamelessly desecrating them by carving their skeletons into new Jadeblades for his Tournament of Elements and into an elaborate hat for himself as well as simpler hats for his cultists.

Later, while Lloyd attempted to wash Zane's pink gi, Chen succeeded in sending an agent to switch out the robe with an identical one, adding it to his Hall of Fame. Keeping a close eye on the ninja's adventures, Chen continued looting from their exploits, salvaging one of the Great Devourer's discarded scales and likewise engaging in conflict with Captain Soto in order to steal the resurrected pirate's peg leg. He also took possession of the Blade Cup.

At some point, Chen accepted two citizens named Colin and Landon to work in his noodle house. However, while cleaning the plates, they accidentally dropped them, causing the plates to shatter to pieces on the floor and Colin and Landon to laugh. Enraged at their incompetence, Chen promptly fired the two.

Chen started to develop a plan to turn him and his followers into Anacondrai, thus enabling them to take over Ninjago. However, the transformation spell required all of the Elemental Powers, so he came up with the idea of the Tournament of Elements to lure the current elemental masters to his island.

Shortly before the Tournament of Elements, Chen received a new chair with serveral buttons on it, each with different functions.

### Tournament of Elements

#### Capturing Zane

Shortly after the defeat of the Golden Master, the newly rebuilt Zane was sold to Chen by Ronin, which allowed Chen to begin enacting his Tournament plan now that he had sufficient "bait" to lure the four other ninja to his island. Chen used the Staff of Elements to take Zane's power of Ice and allowed Skylor to absorb his ability as well. Chen then sent out an invitation to the current Elemental Masters across Ninjago.

#### Welcoming the Elemental Masters

Early in the morning of the second day after sending the invitation, Chen received word from Clouse, who had taken the ferry to retrieve the elemental masters, that Garmadon had joined them as well. Chen remained confident that he controlled everything and ventured to the dungeons to check up on the captive Master of Ice.

#### First Round

When the Masters arrived on the island, Chen welcomed them into his palace and took note of Garmadon's presence. He then explained the rules of the tournament. He then ordered his kabuki servants to show them to their rooms. Later that day, Chen announced the start of the first round of the tournament. At the end of the round, when Karlof had lost, Chen dropped him down a trapdoor and encouraged the remaining fighters not to break any rules.

That night, Chen led a ceremony in the Anacondrai temple, where he brings in a captive Karlof and states "Only one can remain." He uses his staff to take Karlof's element, while doing so it is revealed he already did so to Zane as he uses Ice to keep him in place. After gaining the element of Metal, he mockingly told the prisoner he'd let him go as the latter looked hopeful until Chen revealed that he meant that he was sending the defeated master to work in the factory, to his horror.

#### Other Battles

The next day, he summoned Ash, Kai, Bolobo, Griffin Turner, Gravis and Neuro to the arena and watched them battle for the jadeblades, eliminating the losers, but forbid Clouse from using his dark magic to make the ninja lose.

#### Breaking up the Ninja

After the tournament, Chen was entertained by his kabuki in the main room of his palace, where Clouse informed him that the ninja had been present at the previous night's ceremony. Chen ordered his right hand man to switch up the fights so that Cole would face Jay, thus eliminating one of the Ninja. At the tournament, Chen eagerly watched, but was dismayed when the two ninja made up and only pretended to fight. To combat this, Chen ordered the Anacondrai Crushers to attack, but they were defeated with ease by the ninja. Chen then began enabling all the trap doors so that neither would win, only for Cole to give Jay the Jadeblade, thus sacrificing himself.

Chen was present at Jacob and Skylor's tournament, where the master of sound lost. After the battle, Chen presented the remaining elemental masters with gold and other valuables, but instantly took them away due to Cole and Jay trying to outsmart them. He then ordered that they had also lost their special quarters and were forced to sleep together in the chow house.

#### Thunderblade Competition

In the middle of the night, Chen sent Clouse to fetch the contestants for the Thunderblade Competition, hoping that the other elemental masters would prevent Lloyd from winning. During the event, Chen bragged that he held the record at one hundred points, though Lloyd ended up winning and shattering Chen's score.

#### Revealing his True Colors

The following day, Chen held a banquet after Shade defeated Toxikita, to celebrate the halfway mark of the Tournament. During the event, Clouse informed Chen of the secret alliance the Ninja had made, and advised them to reveal the Staff of Elements, promising it to the winner of the tournament.

Later, while Chen was being entertained by his kabuki, Clouse informed him that someone had stolen the page containing the spell to turn them into Anacondrai and he had reason to believe the spy was in their midst. Chen ordered his guards to search the kabuki, but they were interrupted by Dareth's guitar solo being broadcast from the DB X. While the search was happening, Chen discovered that one of the kabuki was none other than Nya, and he ordered his guards to pursue her. Later, Skylor returned and informed him that Cole and Zane were trying to escape. Chen declared that he would break up the ninja once and for all the next day.

### End of the Tournament

#### Hunt for Nya

True to his word, the next day, Chen had the remaining Elemental Masters taken far above the island from which point they would parachute down to the island. There, whoever found Nya first would be advanced to the final round. Taking over the DB X, he observed the tournament from within it, remarking to Clouse that it was his new favorite toy.

As the hunt progressed, Chen ordered Clouse to capture the Elemental Masters and put an end to the tournament. Eventually, he met up with Skylor on a frozen pond after she revealed to the master of fire that she was in fact the spy. After a brief fight, Chen used Nature to restrain Kai and captured him, locking him up in a cage on the DB X, along with the other Elemental Masters.

#### Preparing the Spell

Chen has the captured Elemental Masters brought before him when Jay mentions Lloyd will come to save them very soon. Chen decides to wait for him but gets bored and drains the remaining masters of their powers and has them sent to the Noodle Factory. He speaks with Skylor, who wishes to have Kai free and, noticing she likes him, he allows the Red Ninja freedom.

Afterward, he shows Kai some of his possessions when Kai mentioned that he could take Chen down if he didn't have the staff. Chen noted that Skylor was right about him possessing a fiery attitude without his element and reveals his plan of turning his warriors into Anacondrai after defeating Lloyd and taking over Ninjago. He noted that Kai had previously wanted to be the Green Ninja and offers him the chance but is denied and instead, offers him information about his parents that Wu hid from him. When a shocked Kai questions this, Chen tells him to think about his offer while he prepares to fight Lloyd.

Very soon, Kai apparently considered Chen's offer and helped him in luring Lloyd to him. Chen overwhelms Lloyd with the various elements and defeats the struggling Green Ninja while stating "only one can remain."

Chen then confronts the captured Nya and Garmadon in the dungeons, revealing that he has turned Kai to his side, much to Nya's shock. He then tells them that he was soon going to take Lloyd's power and complete the spell, before leaving, telling them that they would be fed to Clouse's pet serpent.

Chen soon has Clouse tell the henchmen he wants noodles for the ceremony. He makes it to the temple where he steals Lloyd's element and has Clouse prepare the spell to transform him and the others. However, Kai reveals he lied about accepting Chen's offer and has turned Skylor against him, which angers him.

Kai takes control of the Staff of Elements, but the power begins to corrupt him as Chen tells him to embrace the power but the Elemental Masters, flying a Roto Jet, break in. Chen notices that Kai dropped his staff and runs to retrieve it but the Red Ninja grabs it and destroys the crystal, returning all the stolen elements back to their masters, allowing them to defeat the Anacondrai warriors.

During the chaos, Chen, Clouse, Kapau, Chope, Eyezor and Zugu then take Skylor hostage before retreating, with Chen complaining about his plans being ruined.

#### Transformation Into Anacondrai

While the Blade-Copter was being repaired, Clouse and Chen returned to the serpent's feeding room only to find the beast dead. Clouse quickly realized that they can perform the ritual, thanks to the powers copied by Skylor. Chen hurried to the cave where his daughter was imprisoned and ordered her release. Skylor, however, quickly realized her father's intentions and fled. Chen ordered his remaining forces to catch her, and he gave chase himself in the Blade-Copter.

Chen eventually caught up to his daughter, but soon lost the trail. When Skylor and Kai were caught, Chen had them taken to the Crystal Caves by Chope and Kapau, who were able to finish the ritual and turn into Anacondrai. After a brief confrontation with Kai and Skylor, Chen returned before his palace and stole the Roto Jet to fly to Ninjago.

### Second Serpentine War

#### Capturing Pythor

Shortly after arriving in Ninjago, the transformation spell slowly ceased working. Chop'rai and Kapau'rai quickly learn that in order for the spell to be permanent, they must obtain the essence of a true Anacondrai. Chen sent his army out to find if there were any Anacondrai remaining and they soon returned with Pythor. Placing him in a hamster wheel with a swamp rat, the little snake quickly released enough sweat to turn the army into Anacondrai, thus making the spell permanent.

#### Taking Over Ninjago

With that problem out of the way, Chen moved on to striking fear among the Elemental Masters and split them apart by sending empty noodle trucks to different regions of Ninjago. Meanwhile, Chen and his army attacked the Jamanakai Village and with the ninja out of the way, took it over with ease.

His warriors advancing, Chen soon took over more villages laughing at how the people are defenseless without the ninja or the Elemental Masters protecting them from danger.

Later on, he took over the airwaves and contacted those aboard the *Destiny's Bounty*. He offered a truce but ended up revealing to Misako and Wu the truth about Garmadon's letter and thus turning them against one another. He laughed that he caused Garmadon much grief as revenge for leaving his services decades ago.

#### Battle at the Corridor of Elders

Before long, Chen had taken over the entire east coast and began moving inland. The next day, his forces passed through Echo Canyons and arrived at the Corridor of Elders, where he was attacked by the inhabitants of Ninjago. Chen himself was attacked by Skylor, but despite the Ninjago citizens' best efforts, Chen's army was still too powerful.

However, an escaping Pythor soon learned that the only way to defeat Chen and his army is to release the spirits of Arcturus and the Anacondrai generals from the Cursed Realm, but only if Garmadon is to sacrifice himself in order to do so since he was the one who banished them in the first place. Deciding to make amends for his previous actions, Garmadon agrees and sacrifices himself, releasing the spirits of Arcturus and the generals. Witnessing the generals cursing his army, Chen tried to plead to Arcturus that they were on the same side, but Arcturus furiously calls Chen out for his deceitful and backstabbing nature and curses him as well. Screaming in defeat, Chen and his army are sent to the Cursed Realm as punishment for their crimes against Ninjago.

### Legacy

At some point, a statue of Chen was placed in the Ninjago Museum of History.

### In the Cursed Realm

Sometime after his imprisonment in the Cursed Realm, Chen eventually transformed from his Anacondrai form back to his normal self. He was then imprisoned in a cell, where he was to remain for the rest of eternity.

When Lloyd was banished to the Cursed Realm, he ran past several cells, one of which was Chen's, who was startled by the Green Ninja running by. He alerted this sight to Clouse, who was in the cell in the left of him, though his loyal right hand assured him that he was seeing things again as he was secretly cutting his cell to escape.

When Nya destroyed the Preeminent, the Cursed Realm was destroyed as a result, killing all of its inhabitants, including Chen and his followers, with the exception of Clouse, who managed to escape earlier.

### Day of the Departed

On the Day of the Departed, Wu and the ninja went to the museum, where Dr. Saunders introduced them to the Hall of Villainy. While viewing the statues of the villains, Nya looked at Chen's statue, remarking that it brings back memories.

#### Released From the Departed Realm

After Cole accidentally opened the Departed Realm, using the Yin Blade, many souls of of the Ninja's old enemies were released, including Chen. the spirits possessed the statues on the Hall of Villany. Chen was revived alongside Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor and Morro.

As the villains met each other, Chen wondered how they returned before playing with his new chair. In doing so, he partially activated its Chenosaurus function, causing two robotic legs to eject from the bottom. Chen's mech stumbled around the museum before he joined the other villains, who were looking at a painting of Master Yang for answers.

Using the painting as a way to communicate, Yang explained how he brought the villains back from the Departed Realm, but that they would only remain in Ninjago for the duration of the lunar eclipse unless they kill one of the ninja who killed them, and take their place among the living. As the villains cheer over this prospect, Pythor arrived to join them, before he sees Chen and they greet each other in quiet disdain. The group tries choosing who they'll go after, with Chen choosing Kai and Nya, although Pythor is aggravated that he chooses two targets. Yang orders the villains to work it out amongst themselves. Chen is the first to pick, claiming Kai and Nya, the latter of whom he has a score to settle with. Pythor proposes that they gather reinforcements from the Hall of Sidekicks. While there, Chen allies with his revived generals, Eyezor and Zugu. As they set off to find Kai and Nya, the other villains go and confront their enemies.

Chen arrives at Four Weapons Blacksmith, where Kai and Nya are commemorating their parents while wondering if they'll find out what happened to them. Chen makes his presence known and offers to tell them, but states they have bigger problems to face. As Eyezor and Zugu roll up on Condrai Crushers, Chen struggles to activate the Chenosaurus' bazooka function. When he does, Kai and Nya flee on their Raider Bikes, and a chase breaks out. After Eyezor and Zugu are vanquished, Chen continued the fight, eventually shooting a missile at Kai and Nya. Using her element, Nya turns the missile around and it strikes Chen, destroying his statue and sending his spirit back to the Departed Realm, killing the manipulator once again.

## Personality

Before his banishment from Ninjago, Chen was an master of deceit and trickery who was able to manipulate both Garmadon to crave power, and the Elemental Master of Earth (in addition to others unmentioned) to fight against the Elemental Alliance. This manipulation served him in keeping a balanced rift between the Elemental Alliance and the Serpentine in the Serpentine War. At this time, he also proved to be a master strategist, twisting moves on both sides in such a way to keep his involvement in the dark—an aspect that grew stronger in the years to come, with the newer generation of Elemental Masters.

After his banishment, however, Chen became more childish, spoiled, and impatient (all of which he expressed while supervising the Tournament of Elements), but still devious and greedy. He also had a quirk, which is his love for buttons and trap doors (which is a combination of his need for power and childish nature). During the Second Serpentine War, Chen started to complain about how difficult and time consuming it was to take over Ninjago.

However, it would appear that Chen did love his daughter, and gave her special treatment (he provided her with a tournament suit similar to those of the ninja, and he allowed her to keep Kai around after he had drained him of his power). After she betrayed him, though, he no longer cared for her safety, and his greed took over.

He was also shown to be culturally insensitive, as he used the symbolism of the Anacondrai, even after betraying both humans and serpentine by igniting the war that drove both sides to near extinction. He even violated their remains by using them as decorations and clothing, while espousing their ideology of "only one can remain," adding insult to injury. He was also shameless in this, as he begged the spirits of the Anacondrai generals to spare him even though he was the one who instigated both wars, which caused them to be banished to the cursed realm and then used elemental power to transform himself into a pseudo-Anacondrai while claiming to be on the same side.

Chen was also shown to be temperamental, sadistic, and possibly psychotic. This was shown in his previously mentioned duplicity, hot temper, and tendency to believe his own lies. He also showed great enjoyment and schadenfreude when he revealed to Wu and Misako that Garmadon had signed the love letter that Wu had written for Misako that caused her to fall for Garmadon in their youth. Chen's perverse glee was quite evident in this action, and only further showcased his psychosis.

Chen was also shown to be quite cowardly and was seemingly incapable of owning up to his own mistakes and misdeeds, claiming that his use of magic to become an Anacondrai meant that he was on their side in a futile attempt to be spared by the unleashed spirits of Arcturus and his comrades.

## Weapons and Equipment

## Trivia

* He is similar to The Joker, as they both enjoy drama, games, are insane, and have high pitched laughter.
	+ His appearance is referenced to Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat.
	+ He may also be based on Mola Ram from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom*.*
* Chen is also similar to Gustavo "Gus" Fring from *Breaking Bad* and *Better Call Saul*. Both are middle-aged men who manage a popular restaurant known for its certain menu item (noodles for Chen and fried chicken for Fring), but are merely fronts for their secret criminal organization (the Anacondrai cultists and Fring's drug empire). Both Chen and Fring were defeated by one of their former allies with the help of another antagonist.

* Though while many Ninjago protagonists had been turned into snakes, Chen (with the exception of his cult and Garmadon) is the first Ninjago antagonist to be turn into a snake.

* Chen claimed to have knowledge of the fate of Ray and Maya, Kai and Nya's parents; it is thus possible that he may have been in league with Krux.
	+ Tommy Andreasen's fanfiction *Way of the Departed* expands on this implication, revealing that Chen had Clouse use his dark magic to plant the idea that they were the most powerful Elemental Masters in the minds of Acronix and Krux. Chen is also identified as having helped the pair find The Great Devourer's eggs that later hatched into the Vermillion. Chen is also implied to have turned the Elemental Masters against each other during the Serpentine Wars through similar methods as well as employing the powers of the Serpentine against them.
* He is one of the few villains to have three known death dates, the others being Samukai and Morro.
* Chen is the only one of the revived villains in Day of the Departed to be killed by the same person who originally killed them (Nya), although his original death was indirect.
