## Biography

### Working for Chen

At some point, the Mechanic began repairing noodle trucks for Master Chen's noodle company. At some point, he lost an arm and replaced it with a robotic prosthetic, which also had a flamethrower feature. He also obtained a nindroid eyepiece.

### Turning to a life of crime

After Chen's death, the Mechanic was put out of business and decided to pursue a criminal career, turning one of the noodle trucks into a criminal vehicle dubbed the Noodle Truck of Crime. He also estabilished a headquarters in an abandoned warehouse and was suspected in at least 37 unsolved criminal cases througout his career. However, he was eventually caught and imprisoned in Kryptarium Prison.

### Alternate Timeline

In an alternate timeline, the Ninja were framed of committing crimes by Nadakhan and were caught and imprisoned in Kryptarium Prison, where the Mechanic noticed them and used his robo arm to free the other prisoners. He then told the ninja that he had a "bone to pick" with them for putting him oit of business after defeating Chen, then became interested in Zane's spare parts, before Warden Noble returned and escorted the Mechanic and the other prisoners back to their cells. Later, he got into a fight with the ninja at the cafateria and tried to gain Zane's spare parts but was electrocuted after Pixal rerouted Zane's power to his chest. The Mechanic was then placed back in his cell.

After Jay made his last wish, the timeline was reset and the Mechanic's memory of meeting the ninja in prison was erased.

### Continuing his criminal career

At some point, the Mechanic escaped from prison.

Around 2018, the Mechanic fought Kai and Zane in a village. He managed to corner Kai with his flamethrower, only for Zane to freeze him from behind. He was then arrested again and placed back in Kryptarium where he witnessed Cole's fight with the Giant Stone Warrior and Killow.

#### Escaping from prison

While in prison, the Mechanic came across a newspaper talking about the ninja's disappearence to the Never-Realm. Later that night, the Mechanic used his robo arm to free himself as well as Ultra Violet and they decided to escape the prison through the sewers. While there, they were ecountered by another immate calling himself Fugi-Dove who dressed like a bird and made bird-like noises as well. The trio then began to discuss which of the ninja was the worst, with the Mechanic considering Nya and shared a story of her defeating him after he robbed a bank. After the three villains sucessfully broke free they celebrated their escape, only to be caught by Samurai X, who promptly took them back to prison. After being locked up again, the Mechanic agreed with Violet and Fugi-Dove that Samurai X was the worst.

### Working with Unagami

At some point later, the Mechanic escaped from prison once again and returned to his headquarters where he began to work with a mysterious individual, who did not reveal his name to him, while also requiting several criminals to be his henchmen. He and his men later robbed a bank and escaped before the ninja could catch him. Back at his warehouse, the Mechanic asked the individual to design a new robo arm for him that he can feel things with, and the stranger granted his request. The Mechanic then asked him what his name was, to which the individual revaled that he was Unagami.

#### Unleashing Prime Empire

The Mechanic later stole the Prime Empire Motherboard and ninja later tracked the Mechanic to his warehouse where he and his henchmen fought aganist them. The Mechanic was eventually defeated and placed in custody.

After Jay disappeared into Prime Empire, the ninja interrogated the Mechanic, but he refused to give any answers, only telling the ninja cryptic messages about Unagami's arrival. He was then taken back into Kryptarium, but not befor giving another cryptic warning to the ninja.

In Kryptarium, the Mechanic was visited in his cell by Warden Noble and he told him that he wuld soon break free. His warning would come true, as Unagami hacked into the prison's security and freed all of the prisoners, including the Mechanic. The Mechanic then requited several villains like Ultra Violet and Captain Soto to work for Unagami, but dismissed Fugi-Dove.

#### Breaking into Borg Tower

The Mechanic and the prisoners then inflitrated Borg Tower, defeating Cyrus Borg's security nindroids and making it to the top floor, where the ninja were about to enter Prime Empire. The ninja held off the prisoners while Cole acitvated the game and the ninja soon entered the game, while the Mechanic escaped the tower.

#### Unagami's Arrival

While Zane and Pixal were investigating Unagami and Milton Dyer, the Mechanic ambushed the two at Buddy's Pizza, knocking out Pixal and capturing Zane. He also sent some of his henchmen to the Monastery of Spinjitzu to capture Wu. He then brought Zane to his warehouse where he had constructed the Manifestation Gate to summon Unagami into the real world. He hooked Zane up to the gate, threthening to harm Wu if he didn't comply, and began to open the portal. However, when the portal opened and Unagami emerged, the Mechanic ran away in fear. He then seemingly managed to avoid capture and returned to his warehouse.

### Working for the Crystal King

#### Captured by the Ninja

Some time later, The ninja discovered that a villain named the Crystal King was requiting villains to his council. After escaping from prison, the ninja arrived at Twichy Tim's house, where they figured out that the Mechanic could be the next villain to be requited. They arrived at the Mechanic's warehouse, where he ambushed them and a fight broke out, before the ninja trapped the Mechanic with a Prime Empire arcade. The Mechanic was then captured by the ninja, with Lloyd posing as him to inflitrate the Council of the Crystal King. While the ninja tracked Lloyd, the Mechanic managed to free himself and escape to the subway. The ninja followed him and after a brief fight, the Mechanic managed to escape by clinging onto a subway train with his robo arm, leaving the ninja behind. Eventually, Harumi exposed Lloyd and he was captured by the council, while the Mechanic was requited.

#### Battle at the Monastery of Spinjitzu

The Mechanic, along with the other members of the Crystal Council (Aspheera, Vangelis and Pythor), arrived at the monastery, to steal the Golden Weapons, where they were confronted by Wu, Nya, Pixal and Skylor. Wu battled the Mechanic, Aspheera and Vangelis, with the Mechanic proclaiming that even he could not defeat the three of them. Wu, however managed to defeat them, before Pixal activated the MiniPix to fight the villains, with the Mechanic commenting that he wasn't scared of the robots because they looked adorable. Eventually, the villains destroyed the MiniPix with the exeption of one and used the Crystal Spiders to destroy the monastery, after taking the Golden Weapons, with the Mechanic taking the Shurikens of Ice.

#### The Overlord's return

The Mechanic then returned to the Oni Temple, where he and the other villains placed the Golden Weapons around a large crystal and asfer Aspheera performed a ritual, the Mechanic witnessed the return of the Overlord.

The Overlord then gave the Mechanic and the other members of the council new identical outfits as well as the crystalized Golden Weapons. The Mechanic noticed Mister F taking one of the Shurikens of Ice and protested before being given the other. He then mocked Vangelos and Aspheera's leadership, before being silenced by the Overlord. He then witnessed Lloyd's escape and was immedetly ordered by the Overlord to pursue him, to which he complied. After Lloyd jumped off the temple with Harumi, Aspheera demanded the other villains to jump after them, but the Mechanic refused and told her to jump instead. The council then chased after Lloyd and Harumi on Dragonides.

#### Chasing after Jay and Nya

After Ninjago City was crystalized, the Mechanic and the rest of the council was ordered by the Overlord to find the ninja. The Mechanic found Nya trapped in the wreckage of the Destiny's Bounty, but was attacked by Jay. He then fought the two, but was defeated when Nya started to regain her powers.

The Mechanic the met with the Overlord and the other council members and was reprimanded for his falliure, until Harumi arrived with Mister F, who managed to locate the ninja at the Paperboys' warehouse.

#### Battle for Ninjago City

The Mechanic and the crystal army arrived at the warehouse and managed to overwhelm the ninja, but several of their allies arrived and helped the ninja fight off their enemies. The Mechanic confronted Nya once again, but she used her regained powers to trap him under a pipe.

## Personality

The Mechanic can best be summed up as a vengeful and comedically evil man who has no justified reason for his criminal activity. He takes offense to the idea of being seen as a "fourth-tier bad guy", hinting that he aspires to rise in the ranks of Ninjago's criminals and be seen as a bigger threat to the ninja.

Although the Mechanic has a boastful and arrogant nature, he knows when his match has been met; during the Prime Empire incident, when the Manifestation Gate was going haywire, the Mechanic booked it and abandoned the warehouse before Unagami entered the physical world.

According to Zane, the Mechanic has been involved in thirty-seven unsolved criminal cases, and despite having no superpowers compared to some other major threats the ninja have faced, he still manages to hold his own against the team on multiple occasions.

During the crystal invasion, the Mechanic was invited to join the Council of the Crystal King, and was amused by the arguments between Pythor and Aspheera, and mocked both Serpentine by claiming that their royal titles mean nothing in the long run, which solidifies that the Mechanic holds a rather negative view of royalty.

When the Overlord's forces overran Ninjago City, the Mechanic confronted Nya and taunted her about her lack of powers and called her a "girl in a costume", showing a misogynistic side to himself.
