Pythor P. Chumsworth

**Pythor P. Chumsworth** (錦蛇 価値, *Chamusuwāsu P. Pitōru,* born January 25, 1962), also known as **Pythor P. Anacondrai** (錦蛇 蠎, *Anakondurai P. Pitōru*), is a Brittainian born Ninjagoan Yakuza, the founder and current *kumicho* (supreme kingpin, or chairman) of the Anacondrai Clan (蠎族), Ninjago's largest yakuza organization.

## Heritage

Under the Shogun period of Ninjago, the Anacondrai family clan, as well as many other family clans were outlawed from Ninjago as they rebelled against the Skulkin's. Even outside Ninjago, these clans adhered to the nobility bloodline and only intermarried between the clans and combined their sizes. The Anacondrai Clan, which finally ended up in Britannia, changed their official family name to Chumsworth to blend in better. Although being with high certainty only racially Ninjagoan and Pythor being a Ninjagoan ultraconservative, Pythor share Brittish cultural traits and speaks fluent in English with a strong Brittish accent. Besides English and Ninjagoan, Pythor is fluent in many other languages, namely French, Russian, German and Arabic.

## Career

After Pythor finished his PhD in Economics at 22, he and his family immigrated to Ninjago and started a Anacondrai family business. As the company grew and Pythor learned the flaws of the Wu economic system, he took the opportunity to gain more money by exploiting these flaws. Fast forward, using his manipulative skills, he managed to sway Ninjago's politics to better suit the Anacondrai Clan business. Using his wealth and power, as well as great international ties, especially to the Johanian Empire, he and the clan secured themselves legal protection and created a nation wide criminal gang. Besides the family business, the clan also focused on the *Shinobushido*, or the *Way of the Ninja Warrior*, where they have a strict honor code. Following orthodox Way of the Ninja teachings, the crimes the clan commited were often justified by them as being in the best interest of the Emperor and/or was an act of chivalry.

During the large reformations under the Ninjagoan Imperial Rule Assistance Association and Emperor Kareastikuru, Pythor was briefly imprisoned for his acts against the people's community and for potentially being a *Zasshu* (hybrid). However, due to his contacts within the NIRAA, he could yet again secure his freedom. During the Ninjagoan Empire, Pythor initiated sub-clans throughout the empire, which later remerged with the Anacondrai clan following the Empire's defeat. However, Pythor managed to spread his influence within the United Nations and started to communicate with other international gangster organizations, including VaushAgo gangs under hidden codenames.

Pythor was imprisoned once again when the Second Ninjagoan Empire was established, falling guilty of 108 commited crimes at the People's Court. However, this time he managed to bail himself out of his crimes, and made a special deal with the Kempeitai. Again, under legal protection, Pythor continued to commit various crimes "in the name of the emperor". As the empire expanded, so did the yakuza, which now exists throughout the entire empire. Pythor is seen as the most feared leader of all the clans, and often punishes other yakuza leaders if they do not follow the yakuza code of honor.

## Political views

Besides his opportunist selfish goals, Pythor follows a ultraconservative ideology according to political scientists. In his own views, he believes that Ninjagoism is too progressive, being far too reformist and nationalistic. He believes that the Emperor should be in larger focus than the nation and the race, and that international partnership is more beneficial to the Emperor. He is also strongly against any welfare reforms, as he believes in a perfect Ninjagoan community, a *Shinobushido* following rich individual would donate to the poor, and that it is not the state's job. He also believes in limiting Imperial power, as it could potentially be harmful to the Emperor, instead advocating for a Way of the Ninja cleric shogun to rule the nation. According to his own words, above all else, Pythor believes in fairness, prosperity and peace.

## Life style

Since Pythor has others doing his work for him, he mainly sits at the Ninjago City Hotel bar and casino, where he gambles or discusses with gang members or business partners. The rest of his days are mainly in a peaceful setting in the Anacondrai Clan House, which is an isolated place featuring three classic Ninjagoan buildings and a garden. Here, Pythor practises Spinjitzu and yoga, as well as reads Way of the Ninja litterature, especially about the Serpentine, Ninja-Serpentine War, Green Ninja and the Fang Blades as well as the stories about the Great Devourer. Pythor also enjoys Earl Grey tea and reading Sherlock Holmes.

## Crimes

Pythor has fallen guilty of hundreds of crimes both in Ninjago internally but also internationally, which all have been declared void and null. Namely, assisted suicide involving several hundred beheadings in forced and consented *seppeku* rituals, cutting off body parts of others, mostly little fingers and ears, gang shootings, ordered assassinations, tax evasion, gambling, running brothels, killing citizens of Ninjago, killing non-Ninjagoan - Ninjagoan allies and many more. Pythor has also been accused of cannibalism.
