Wèi Jù is the main antagonist of Sly Cooper: Thieves Lost In Time. He is a chinese cobra who specializes in botany, chemistry, medicine, and the snake style of kung fu! He has created a powerful fear toxin to achieve his #1 goal, to rule the world with fear and terror! He is the leader of The Global Terror Syndicate (G.T.S.), a group of time traveling villains determined to conquer the world using fear and terror as weapons.

Born into a family of botanists and doctors in China, Wèi Jù became a celebrated healer. However, one day he discovered that people secretly feared him due to him being a snake. Betrayed and outraged, he plotted his revenge. One day while creating his medicine, a drop of venom dripped from his fangs and fell into a batch of medicine. When he administered the medicine into a patient's arm, the patient started seeing horrific hallucinations. Wèi Jù discovered that a mixture of certain types of plants, dangerous chemicals and snake venom had created a powerful fear toxin, which could last depending on how big or small a dose was used. Not only could he control people's fears, but he could also control their minds as well. Using his fear toxin, he also created an army of mutated plant creatures that serve as his guards. In order to escape Interpol, he caused crowds of people to start suffering from horrific hallucinations and caused a mass hysteria. He started a reign of terror around the globe and there was no one brave enough to stand against him.

Wèi Jù's hideout is located in an abandoned temple deep in the Amazon rainforest. Since his guards are all plant creatures, the constant rainfall is good to keep them patrolling at all times. There is also a secret grove of plants and flowers located in a secret spot around the temple. Wèi Jù uses these plants and flowers to produce his fear toxin and also to create his army of plant creatures. Inside the temple, Sly and the gang discover a fear toxin production facility with hundreds of vats and storage tanks filled with fear toxin and fear gas. Sly and the gang also discover a giant airship, which Wèi Jù plans on flying across every major city around the globe, dispersing his fear gas, (now improved to last permanently and cannot be reversed), so that he can control people's minds and fears. With everyone around the world under the influence of his permanent and irreversible fear toxin, Wèi Jù was free to rule the world he desired, a world of fear and terror.

Wèi Jù's boss fight takes place in the main control room on his airship. Before the boss fight begins, he injects Sly with his fear toxin, causing him to hallucinate from horrific visions of the past and future. He taunts Sly by making him relive the murder of his parents. He also shows Sly the future, in which he rules the world with his army of plant creatures at his side and every citizen on Earth suffering from the effects of his fear toxin. He finishes taunting Sly by telling him that he has let his friends down and also disgraced his entire family legacy. He informs Sly that once he is finished with him, that he will kill his friends. That causes Sly to get so angry, that it burns all the fear toxin inside his body, and he returns to normal. Sly tells Wèi Jù that nobody will cause any harm to his friends and if Wèi Jù wants to get anywhere near them, then he'll have to kill him first! Wèi Jù agrees to this, and the boss fight begins! Wèi Jù starts the boss fight by throwing a canister of fear gas in the center of the room, which causes Sly to hallucinate and see multiple clones of Wèi Jù. Sly has a hard time figuring out who the real Wèi Jù is, and which ones are the clones, until he notices that all the clones have white eyes, while Wèi Jù has red eyes, making is easier to find the real Wèi Jù. Although Sly has managed to defeat his clones, Wèi Jù is still a challenge due to him being an expert in the snake style of kung fu. While fighting Sly, Wèi Jù accidently strikes a tank of coolant, which causes him to freeze for a limited time, which allows a moment for Sly to whack him with his cane. When his health reaches 50%, Wèi Jù orders his guards to attack Sly. Sly is completely outnumbered, until the rest of the Cooper Gang arrive to back him up. Bentley, Murray, Carmelita, Dimitri, Penelope (who has reformed and rejoined the Cooper Gang), The Guru, The Panda King, and all of Sly's ancestors distract the guards, while Sly finishes off Wèi Jù. The damage from the battle causes the airship to crash into the streets of Paris, luckily with no civilian injuries. Everyone on the airship survive the crash, except for Wèi Jù's plant creatures, who burn up in the flames. After he is defeated, Sly injects Wèi Jù with his own fear toxin, causing him to suffer from the same horrifying images he inflicted onto his victims. This allows Interpol to finally arrest him. Wèi Jù is sentenced to life in prison in a special cell in solitary confinement. After a few years in prison, Wèi Jù was relocated to a psychiatry hospital located in China to receive some help for his mental issues. Thanks to some very helpful acupuncture treatments, he became the hospital's most relaxed and quiet patient.

Wèi Jù's quotes:

"Once I administer my fear toxin into your bloodstream Cooper, you will face your deepest, darkest nightmares!

"I'm curious Cooper. What are you afraid of the most? Losing your friends? Disgracing your family legacy? Or both?"

"I can only imagine the fear in your eyes when you witnessed The Fiendish Five killing your beloved parents right in front of you. Did you feel helpless and frightened hiding in that closet knowing that there was nothing you could do to save them?

"I can taste your fear Cooper. It tastes delicious!"

"Do not despise fear Cooper. Fear is what pushes us to overcome any challenge life throws at us and makes us stronger. Unfortunately for you, your fear only makes you weaker, while it only makes me stronger."

"Once I'm finished with you Cooper, the entire world will finally know true terror!"

Personality:

Wèi Jù' was once a very kind doctor who cared about his patients, until he discovered that they found him scary. Angered at this discovery, he vowed to teach the villagers what true fear was really like. After creating his fear toxin, Wèi Jù' got his revenge by using the villagers as experimental lab rats. He was now cold, heartless, and very cruel towards everyone. He hired a group of criminals and together they formed the Global Terror Syndicate, an organization who sought to rule the world with fear and terror. Wèi Jù' never really cared about his colleagues, as he threatened to punish them quite severely if they would fail to accomplish their goals. He only used them to distract the Cooper Gang while he prepared the final steps of his plan to spread his fear toxin all over the world and rule it as its only emperor. The only ones who he truly loved and cared for were his army of plant creatures. Wèi Jù' gets a truly despicable joy out of causing people to suffer from the effects of his fear toxin. This once kind soul has transformed into an evil, twisted, heartless, and unredeemable monster.
