**Gordon Gold** was the most recent Master of Golden Power in Ogaji. He is the half-brother of Darius Dark and Hank, the creators of Ogaji and Ninjago respectively.

He fought with the Elemental Masters during the Extinction, but was cursed by Bamos into a dark crystal.

Years later he was freed, and returned back home to the First Realm. He later joined G and the Dragon Hunters.

35 years later, he was killed by the Deicide while attempting to keep The New Ninja of Ogaji safe. Before his death he entrusted Chad with the Dragonbone Blade, which encompasses some of his Golden Power.

Gordon would return to his body 6,000 years later when the Oni needed his soul for a higher purpose. Gordon would eventually be cut off from the ties of the High Order and join other Conscious-Men in taking the Oni down.

in *Sleeping Slaves*, Gordon would unite with the other Elemental Masters to destroy the High Order and reset the timeline so that everything after *Doomsday* ceased to exist, and Ogaji lives on with the Balance in shape.

## History

### Early History

Long before Time had a name there was the Oni and the Dragon. The two races lived together in the First Realm, and were eternally at war with each other... until one day, three children were born of the two worlds.

The first child was named Hank, and when he couldn't decide a side to stay on- the Oni or the Dragon, he left their world to begin a new one, that being Ninjago.

The second child was Darius. Darius knew full well which side he would stay on, the Oni side, yet still felt an urge to create a new realm, to be like his older brother.

The third child was Gordon. Gordon was the opposite of his brother Darius in that he sided with the Dragon. Being the remaining child in the First Realm, he was titled the Golden Dragon Master, and was gifted the Golden Dragon Blade, forged from the Gold of the Golden Dragon's breath, and the tooth of Firstbourne.

Gordon lived in the First Realm and lead the Dragons with Firstbourne at his side to drive away the evil Oni. While about half of the Oni migrated to Ninjago and Ogaji, the remaining proved to be extremely powerful for him to fight. In order to truly end the war, he separated the First Realm in two, and made specific lands where the Dragons and Oni would live separately.

### The Creation of the Sacred Realm

With the war being temporarily at halt, Gordon saw it fit that he take a break. He journeyed to his brother's lands, Ninjago and Ogaji, on separate occasions. He found that Ninjago was in good hands, as Hank's children were keeping it at peace, but Ogaji seemed to be in trouble.

He found that it was ungoverned, and the only real protectors were the Elemental Masters. He knew he had to do something, so he created a realm that would watch over Ogaji.

He called the Realm the Sacred Realm, and he appointed three Golden Gods with his power to watch over Ogaji. They were the silent judgers of the land, and were only to interfere with their affairs only if absolutely necessary. The three Gods (Earthra, Fira, and Auqra) embodied three divine Elements, being Life, Order, and Terra. Along with the Divine Elements, he gave them the titles of the Gods of Courage, Power, and Wisdom respectively.

Being satisfied with his work, he left the Sacred Realm to let it develop on it's own, and journeyed to Ogaji to watch over it at ground level.

### Joining the Elemental Alliance

He descended from the heavens to Ogaji, and the people described him as a "golden god" coming down to watch over them.

During his time in Ogaji, he found out about the Elemental Alliance. With no guardians in Ogaji, the Elemental Masters combined to protect the realm from dark forces.

Gordon, being the Elemental Master of Golden Power, joined them in their quest to vanquish evil.

### The Extinction

Gordon played a major role in the war against Bamos. It was his power that dealt great damage to him. Unfortunately, he was defeated and cursed into a dark crystal, held in place by Bamos' Sword of Darkness. . .

### Milo's Adventures

#### The Hero of Light

Gordon had been trapped in the Dark Crystal for many years. During that time, he had gone into a magically induced coma. His time in the crystal dampened his power, and his power of good, and it slightly corrupted him. . .

##### *Revenge of the Demon Prince*

After many years of being imprisoned in the Dark Crystal, Gordon was freed and awakened from his coma by Junior. Junior, being under the influence of Bamos at the time, used Gordon as a ploy in his evil plan.

(At this point Junior and everyone else only referred to him as Golden God.)

Junior convinces Golden God (who has lost his memory,) that his enemy Nicholas Rogers put him there, and that they had to destroy him. Gordon and Junior attack Nicholas, but they are defeated. Gordon is seemingly killed, but he really found himself in the Temple of Time surrounded by many of it's mystical weapons.

He assumed "ultimate power" by using the combined power of the weapons. He went after Nicholas himself, but was defeated yet again. Nicholas reveals to him that it was not he who imprisoned him, but Bamos. Gordon apologizes for his misjudgment, and regains some of his memories.

Gordon and Nicholas go after Junior directly, but find that he is not where he appeared to be. He tricked them by sending a hologram version of himself to toy with them.

Gordon and Nick realized where he really was and found him at the Dark Crystal holding the Sword of Darkness. There, Nicholas convinced Junior that he was on the wrong side, and he dropped the sword. Junior joined Team Waters as a "junior member" of the team, and Nicholas asked Gordon if he would also like to come with them.

Gordon declined, having unlocked his remaining memories, and tells Nicholas that he must return to the First Realm, having left it for so long.

Gordon says farewell to Junior and Nicholas, and he takes off.

### Return to the First Realm

Gordon returned to the First Realm and found it mostly at peace. The Oni and Dragon stayed at their respective sides, but there was a small civilization of people forming on the Dragon side,

He stayed with Firstbourne at her nest, and governed the land for many years. During this time he suddenly acquired the element of creation as a gift from Firstbourne.

It wasn't until a very long time later that Gordon felt a disturbance in the balance of Ogaji, and knew he had to return.

### Closing the Circles

#### Of Rotten Heritage

Gordon returns to Ogaji and finds that the ancient Half-Oni have been freed from their capture.

He finds the current Elemental alliance, (the soon to be Dragon Keepers) lead by G Frost, and informs them of the Half-Oni's capabilities. He reveals to them that the only way to harm them is with his armor, forged from the golden breath of the Golden Dragon.

Gordon joins the Ninja in finding his armor and halting the Half-Bloods plans, but don't go very far. At the point where they've collected all of his armor, the Half-Bloods collected the four Staffs of Being, and resurrected their Lost Queen.

Gordon assists the Keepers and becomes a valued member of the team.

Gordon joined them in chasing the Oni into the First Realm, and stopped the Lost Queen from gaining the element of Creation. The Queen knew however that Gordon had the element first, and he was their closest chance to getting it.

He knew that he was doomed, he was only one person compared to their whole army. He recently found out about G's power being taken from him as punishment for *Doomsday,* and he thought that he has changed, and was worthy of getting his power back. He trusted G that if he were to take charge once again, they would get it done.

Before he died, he transferred his power back to G, having him reclaim his title as the Master of Creation.

#### Mirror Me Part 1

After sacrificing himself to help G, the Lost Queen still forgot about creation, and used Tom to destroy the first realm.

G stopped her, and rebuilt it using his power. When he did this, he also reverted Gordon's death. . .

Gordon was alive again in the First Realm. He was satisfied at his sacrifice because the realm was there, so they succeeded. However, he had lost his armor and his powers, and he had become a nomad.

He lived in his Home World alone, no longer able to speak to dragons due to a strange shift in his appearance, and loss of his power.

Some time later, he is chased by two strange men, and he realizes he needs help from the Ninja.

The Ninja come to his aid, and he finds out that the men were Lord Dimmick and Mr. E. They were villains that were after his power.

Eventually they are confronted, and Mr. E steals Gordon's power. With that, his form changes. As he is about to take off his mask to reveal his true identity, the Ninja use their combined Elemental Power, leaving his mechatronic face disfigured. The Ninja escape the First Realm and leave him for dead, assuming him dead...

Gordon joins the Dragon Keepers as the Master of Golden Power.

#### Mirror Me Part 2

Serces assembles a small army of Masters of Destruction (Majora, Plague, and Ben Rivers.) They plan on stealing the four Elements of Creation from the Dragon Keepers and powering Serces' Gauntlet of Creation so that he may be G's equal.

The Dragon Keepers combat this by creating a Gauntlet of Destruction. They both steal both sets of powers, killing each master individually, leaving only Kaitlin Rogers (who unlocked her Ultimate Potential), Tom Phan, Gordon, and G.

Serces ends up angering G, and he destroys a fourth of Ogaji in his anger (creating the Edge of the World landmark.) He encompasses Serces in a case of magic and sends him lost in the Ethereal Divide.

Now a fourth of Ogaji is gone, and hundreds died. Gordon and the rest promise to rebuild no matter what.

### Following Closing the Circles

After the destruction of a fourth of Ogaji, Gordon, Kaitlin, G, and Tom rebuild what was left of Ogaji.

They could not revive the lives that were lost there, and there was a strange energy that was coming from the Edge. Following this, G and Tom retired from being Ninja, leaving just Kaitlin and Gordon.

Together they realized that there was not much they could do, so they went their separate ways.

Gordon joined Simon at the Ogaji Academy for Future Ninja. He taught there, and eventually became the headmaster.

### Rebirth

#### The New Elemental Masters

After 35 years of retirement, G and Tom return to the Ninja business when Gordon Gold says he needs someone to teach the New Elemental Masters the arts of Spinjitzu and Airjitzu. G agrees to teach the new class of Masters, and realizes that when there are people that defend, there are people to defend from.

From then on, Gordon retired as a sensei, and moved to his house outside of the City.

Gordon would remain there until a few months later.

#### The Deicide

A few months after his retirement, he is attacked by a mysterious ghost-like man with the element of Wind. He introduces himself as the Deicide, the God killer, and Gordon is his next target.

Gordon fights him off, but just barely. He calls the Ninja and warns them of his impending attack.

It becomes apparent to them that the Deicide is only going after descendants of old members of Team Waters, so the ninja send those (Chad, Sid, and Sheila) to live with Gordon in safety.

The Deicide eventually finds out where they are hiding, and kills Gordon. . . Before he is killed, he transfers his power into his Dragonbone Blade and trusts Chad with it.

### Ogaji Origins

#### Sleeping Slaves

Gordon would return to his body 6,000 years later when the Oni needed his soul for a higher purpose. Gordon would eventually be cut off from the ties of the High Order and join other Conscious-Men in taking the Oni down.

Gordon Gold, Kaitlin, and Sammy Strumar would all regain their memories at some point. All of them have control over their Elemental Power-- except Sammy, because the Element of Earth was destroyed within the Gauntlet of Creation.

The three of them meet up with G, Llide, and Tom, who have also regained their memories. Realizing that Kaitlin is an Elemental Master of Amber, G realizes that means something must have happened to Chad and his other students.

The six of them realize that the sheer fact that they are alive after 6,000 years means something. If they are alive, so could their students. The heroes suit up, and decide to get to the bottom of the High Order, and find their students.

They have the idea to go to the Temple of Time to potentially meet other people in The Outside, and go there where they meet Zack and Serces. Serces meets G, and G is absolutely pissed to see him again, and have a fight. They end up putting aside their differences, if only for now, until they save Ogaji. Zack fills everyone in on the situation, how Nightmarre has total dominion over the entire Multiverse, Realm, and Dimension. He is all powerful.

The group enters the Temple, where they find the Ivory Blade of Deliverance, one of two. What's it do? They don't know. Suddenly, they are all attacked by Red Riot, who is Lavender taken over by the Oni. They defeat and unmask her, and leave her in the temple dungeons, as she has been mutated beyond help... Now with this out of the way, their next stop is the Desert Palace, to find any hope of G's students being alive.

They find the Desert Palace deserted... but there is someone waiting for them there. They are attacked by All For One, the Oni with the powers of the Gauntlets of Creation and Destruction. G and Serces must put aside their differences for good to stop the evil that the two of them created. At All For One's defeat, the two of them reconcile, and Serces becomes a true hero (now going by Lukas.) Now they have one goal: to find the High Order.

Eventually, G's group and Team Waters finally meet up, and through a couple of set backs, finally reach Nightmarre's chamber. With the Shadow and Ivory Blades of Deliverance, they're ready to destroy Nightmarre, but they are still outmatched. Both blades are shattered, but before Nightmarre can kill the heroes, a portal is opened up, and Warren pushes Nightmarre through...! The rift created by Mal-G in the past lead here... it was destiny.

The rest of the heroes go through the portal and return to the year 2044, at the hour of Doomsday. They fill in the past heroes about what is about to go down, while the future heroes merge with their past selves so as not to cause a paradox.

The Golden Goddesses intervene and reveal that all this time, the Greatest Evil the Realm would ever see was not G, but Nightmarre all along. Everything they've ever done, Genesis' corruption, Bamos' resurrection, the creation of the Edge of the World, and onward has lead to this. When the prophecy was created, this is what it all lead to.

Together, the heroes join forces one last time to destroy Nightmarre, now powered up with Forbidden Spinjitzu. G fuses together with Hope to create the ultimate deity, Destiny, and they finally defeat Nightmarre. His mask shatters, and is revealed to actually be Warren...

The Goddesses intervene again and reveal that the Dark Timeline from which they came is now destroyed. Doomsday is over, and their job is done. With that, Warren and Nightmarre fade from existence, unable to exist in the same timeline...

That's it.

Gordon would move on with his life, joining G, Tom, Zack, and Lukas in becoming teachers at the Ogaji School of Future Heroes.

All is well. The legend of Ogaji has been concluded.

## Legacy

After passing his power to Chad, making him the keeper of the sword, his power lived on through him and the sword.

## Appearance

Gordon was at first a muscular man who seemed to be made entirely of golden energy, with a black wrap around his face.

During *Closing the Circles*, he wore a white and gold Ninja gi, and had spikey black hair.

After being reborn he wore white and gold armor, and had long unkempt white hair, stubble under his chin, and an eyepatch.

## Weapons and Abilities

Gordon's most famous weapon was his Golden Dragon Blade, forged from the breath of the Golden Dragon and the bone of Firstbourne.

Gordon also posses the Element of Golden Power, where he has nigh-omnipotence - The user is virtually omnipotent (unlimited in power, unless part of the power is taken from them, in which they have a limited amount of power left.) Unlike Creation, Golden Power can be used for offensive energy attacks, and its "constructs" can be mostly made of energy rather than matter. The user is able to use the five main elements that comprise it (including Energy).

## Notes

* Gordon is based off of Young Wu from Season 9 of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu
* He was the last surviving brother of the Trio of Balance, those born of both the Oni and Dragon.
* His original name was Golden God, however back in the earlier drafts of the first Chapter, Gordon and the Golden God were separate people. It wasn't until his original story was revived that the characters were combined.
