~ Vex ordering Zane to kill Lloyd, one of his own friends. |
General Vex, also known as Vex the Formless, is one the two main antagonists (alongside Aspheera) of Season 11: Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu.
After leaving the Formling tribe due to believing they mocked him, Vex found Zane who had lost his memory. He would soon begin to manipulate him into believing he was the emperor of the Never-Realm, and that the throne was taken from him. Soon, he would use Zane to take over the Never-Realm and rule over it for many years to come.
He is voiced by the late Michael Kopsa.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Upon meeting Grimfax, he tried to convince him to attack his former tribe, the Formlings, claiming that they were plotting against him, solely due to his immense hatred for them.
- Realizing that he could use Zane to his advantage due to the immense power that he possessed, he erased the ninja’s memories by unplugging him from the mech then would immediately begin to manipulate him, feeding him lies into believing that he was the emperor of the Never-Realm, that Vex was his advisor, and Grimfax had taken the throne from him. He then had Zane usurp the throne from Grimfax, brainwashing his men and ruling over the realm for decades.
- Due to the power of Zane's Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, the entire realm would begin to grow colder and colder, with resources becoming more and more rare.
- After manipulating Zane into believing that the Formlings were warmongers, Vex froze their entire village and most of the tribesmen. Kataru was captured during the attack and subsequently imprisoned in the dungeon of the Castle of Ice for several years.
- At some point in time, the Ice Emperor would wipe out almost all the yetis in the Never-Realm, leaving Krag the last of his kind. (It is implied that Krag’s race were peaceful given his personality, as well.) Regardless of whether or not this was Zane's own decision, it is still his fault this happened in the first place.
- On his advice, Zane ordered his Blizzard Samurai after the Ninja to kill them.
- Ordered an attack on the Great Lake village, resulting in its fire being extinguished temporarily, putting all of it's villagers at risk of dying.
- Upon finding out Grimfax failed to eliminate the ninja, he ordered the Ice Emperor to punish him, nearly freezing him.
- The Ice Emperor, still advised by him, would eventually freeze the entire Great Lake village.
- Before locking Lloyd in the dungeon, he tells him that he would kill him to make sure he wouldn't get in his way.
- He attacked and captured both Grimfax and Kataru after they tried to help Lloyd stop the Ice Emperor, ordering them to be both locked in the dungeon.
- He ordered Zane to kill Lloyd in order to finally to finally get anyone else who opposed him out of his way. When Zane failed to kill him, Vex would attempt to do it himself, taunting him about not being able to save his friends.
- After Zane had finally regained his memories, Vex would attempt to kill both Lloyd and Zane, but fail.
- Whenever he offers anyone mercy or alliance, it's purely for pragmatic reasons and he stays openly hostile to anyone who refuses his offer.
- While it is implied he may have been insecure in the past as he believed his tribe mocked him for not achieving his animal form, by the time of the Ice Chapter, he seems to no longer care about his tribe one bit and to be completely shed of insecure traits.
- Even if his tribe did actually mock him, it is worth noting that it would be too petty of an excuse to actually justify anything he would go onto doing, such as freezing countless people, manipulating Zane into becoming an evil tyrant temporarily, and wiping out almost all yetis in the Never-Realm.
- It is also worth noting that his insecurity was never played for sympathy, so even if he was still insecure during the events of the Ice Chapter, it still would not be preventing.
