Krux is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Acronix) of both Season 7: The Hands of Time and the episode "Golden Hour" in the miniseries Ninjago: Reimagined in the animated series Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. He was one of the Elemental Masters of Time, one of the Time Twins and one of the co-leaders of Vermillion Army, as well as Kai's second arch-nemesis.
He was voiced by Michael Daingerfield, who also played Gordon Godfrey in Smallville, Sesshomaru in the English dub of Inuyasha: The Final Act, Unicorn in Iron Man: Armored Adventures and Johann Trinity in Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Appearance[]
Krux is an elderly man with mustache and gray hair that has been styled back. He has hazel eyes and a black and green tattoo on his face. He has thick, gray eyebrows. When he was younger, he had chin-length, black hair similar to Acronix's that was fashioned a little haphazardly and with swept-back bangs. He had Acronix's eyebrow shape, but had a shorter mustache.
His attire consists of a set of armor in the colors red, gray, and black. His body is covered in red and gray metal plating with a gold outline, and in the center is the Time sign. His armor's plate and left sleeve are both gray. His attire also includes a black hood and mask with a gold-tipped Time sign on top. His green half-cape, which at times hangs over his right shoulder, is what he wears.
He donned the same silver helmet as Blunck does during the Serpentine War. When he exited the time vortex, he lost the original. To temporarily manage the Vermillion, he swapped it out for Raggmunk's helmet.
Before Acronix joined him again, his armor had aged far more than that of his brother, becoming duller, darker, and more faded. His armor's emblem started to corrode, and the top right corner of the shape was broken. Additionally, he started sporting an hourglass on its side and a golden chain around his hip.
He put on false spectacles and cosmetics to disguise his tattoo and a fake long mustache to cover his genuine mustache while posing as the nice Dr. Saunders. His hazel eyes had a dark tint (presumably because of contact lenses). He was dressed in gray jeans, a red shirt with an orange outline, and a maroon coat with pockets, one of which held his pocket watch and two images of the museum.
Personality[]
Krux is revealed to be a merciless man, having endangered the lives of two children in order to persuade their parents to agree with his demands. He resents Wu and Garmadon for beating him and isolating him from his brother for decades. His rage extends to anybody who is linked to them, as he despises Lloyd for being the son and nephew of his adversaries. He has shown to be very patient, having waited forty years to be reunited with his younger brother Acronix and to carry out his intentions to retaliate against Wu.
He greatly cares about his brother Acronix, since he waited decades to reunite with him and the first thing he did upon their reunion was embrace him. They create an excellent team because they are fast to defend one another.
They share a desire to govern Ninjago alongside him and attempts to persuade him of the perils of being surrounded by technology, though he does rely on it at times. He is quite power-hungry, as he has twice attempted to cease control of the world and his goal is what drove him to wait for his brother.
Krux, unlike his brother, had grown up in Ninjago without technology, thus when it rose, he detested it. He is easily irritated by Acronix's obsession with technology. Krux, on the other hand, is not beyond recognizing that technology has its purposes but still dislikes it out of pride.
Krux is also stubborn, according to his mother and brother, and won't adjust his opinions. He is usually quiet, although he occasionally loses control of his quick temper. Krux has demonstrated that he dislikes both loud noises and having his photo taken. He poses as Dr. Saunders, a quirky but benevolent museum curator, but all of this was only a front as he plotted and created Vermillion.
Biography[]
Long ago, Acronix and Krux were the Elemental Masters of Time in Serpentine Wars time. When the war ended Acronix and Krux betray Wu, Garmadon and the other Elemental Masters, because they liked their own Elemental Power as a valuable weapon and thus thought it entitled them to rule Ninjago. Later Ray and Maya made the four Time Blades from Chrono Steel, the purpose of export Acronix and Krux's powers. When their powers were exported Wu and Garmadon made the Time Vortex where the Time Blades was destroyed.
Acronix and Krux attacked after the Blades and there was thought to have disappeared into the time, later it became clear that before Acronix disappeared was a visible sign that told when he would return, it was forty years and Wu saw it. But Wu did not know that Krux saw the sign to, but he had not been in the Vortex. Krux was able to plan, he always traveled in disguise and decided to use eggs of the Great Devourer to create his own army. The warriors needed the armour, weapons and vehicles, and Krux knew who could design them.
Krux presented himself as the kind Dr. Sander Saunders and he managed to gain Ray and Maya to trust him, they thought he was their friend until he deceived them. He told his brother's return to the present and he forced them to design armour to plot revenge for the fact that they made the Time Blades.
And if they had not agreed to the plot then Krux threatened to kill Kai and Nya. When Acronix returned they ordered the Vermillion Warriors to take the hand-literate builders and the metal. Their plan was to build the Iron Doom spitefully to manage all the time. Krux hated modern technology, although he said that the technology can help.
When he and Acronix were going too far into the future, Kai, Nya and Wu met them on the way in time. When Wu saw Ray he untied the Reversal Blade and threw it with Kai and Nya. Wu remained on the Iron Doom and he, Acronix and Krux disappeared in time.
Krux and his brother continued to battle their enemy before they noticed that Wu was affected by the time blades, becoming younger as a result of it. Krux bitterly remarked that it was no fair but Acronix realized if they were to get him, they would gain control over time but Wu put up a good resistance and their clash resulted in them being sent into various spots in the timeline.
Wu prevented them changing timeline while becoming younger each time until he was de-aged into a child, as Krux taunted him that he is no threat before he and his brother moved to finish the fight. However, Wu sabotaged the Iron Doom, as the Twins called him insane but Wu stated they are no longer a threat but a pair of thugs and his resulting actions left the mech to be immobilized. Krux and his brother to be left frozen in the time vortex while Wu managed to escape the vortex though he was de-aged into an infant.
