Krux

Krux, formerly known as Dr. Saunders, is one of the two current (and powerless) Elemental Masters of Time.

He is the older twin brother of Acronix.

Once a proud Elemental Master, Krux and his brother betrayed the Elemental Alliance due to them believing that their element was the strongest.

In response, their former allies forged a set of weapons called the Time Blades that absorbed the twins' element.

Krux and Acronix were lost in the temporal vortex, but Krux managed to escape.

For the next forty years, Krux conspired to strike back against Wu and Earth.

s he awaited his brother's return, he bred an army of Vermillion snakes and took on an alias as a museum curator, **Dr. Sander Saunders**.

He also kidnapped Ray and Maya so they could mold armor for the Vermillion, and build a time-traveling mech, the Iron Doom.

When Acronix finally returned, Krux had Cyrus Borg captured so he could complete the Iron Doom's construction.

With Wu out of the action, the protagonists struggled to fight Krux, his brother, and their Serpentine army.

Ultimately, the Iron Doom was completed, and Krux traveled back in time to defeat the original Elemental Masters.

Using their Fusion Dragon, Kai and Nya made a final effort to thwart his plans.

When the Iron Doom traveled into the future, Wu removed the Reversal Time Blade from the weapon, and it was lost in the Time Vortex.

Though Nick and Ian escaped, Krux was lost along with his brother and Wu.

He and his brother’s fates are currently unknown.

He and Acronix act as the Main Antagonists of the Hands of Time Story Arc.

## Appearance

Krux is an old man with gray hair combed back and has a mustache.

He has hazel eyes and a green tattoo with black detailing on his face.

He has gray bushy eyebrows.

When he was younger, his hair was black like Acronix's but chin-length styled somewhat unevenly and he had swepted back bangs.

His mustache was also shorter and his eyebrows were identical to Acronix's.

His outfit consists of a red, gray, and black suit of armor.

He wears red and gray metal plating with gold outlining around his body and has the symbol of Time in the middle.

The left sleeve and plating of his armor are gray. His outfit also has a black hood and mask with the symbol of Time and gold detailing on top.

He wears a green half cape which sometimes drapes over his right shoulder.

During the Serpentine War, he wore a silver helmet identical to the one Blunck wears.

He lost the original when he fell out of the time vortex.

He temporarily replaced it with Raggmunk's helmet to control the Vermillion.

Before Acronix reunited with him, his armor became duller, darker, and faded compared his brother's considering it became much older.

The symbol on his armor started rusting and the top right outline had cracked.

He also began wearing an hourglass on his side with a bronze chain on his hip.

While pretending to be the kindly Dr. Saunders, he wore fake glasses and makeup to cover his tattoo, as well as a fake long mustache to hide his real mustache.

His hazel eyes were colored black, (presumably because of contact lenses).

He wore a maroon coat with pockets, one holding his pocket watch, and two pictures of the museum, a red shirt with orange outlining, and gray pants.

## Personality

Krux is shown to be a ruthless individual, as he had threatened the lives of children to get their parents to comply with his demands.

He truly despises Wu and Garmadon for defeating him as well as separating him from his brother for decades.

He is proven to be a patient person, as he waited forty years to be reunited with his younger brother Acronix and for his plans to strike back at Wu.

It appears Acronix is the only person he cares about as he waited decades to reconnect with him and the first thing he did in their reunion was hug him.

The pair make a great team, as they are quick to defend the other. H

e had sought to rule Earth with him and tries to get him to under his plight of being surrounded by technology though at times he relies on it.

Krux had grown up in New York without technology so when he saw it rise, he despised it, unlike his brother.

He is easily angered by Acronix constantly loving technology.

However, Krux is not above admitting that technology has its uses but still doesn't like it out of pride.

According to his mother and brother, Krux is also stubborn and won't change his views.

While normally calm, he also has a short temper which gets the better of him.

Krux has shown to not like loud noises or having his picture taken.

As Dr. Saunders, he pretends to be a somewhat eccentric but kind-hearted museum curator, though all of this was just a façade while he schemed and bred Vermillion.
