Clouse

Clouse's History

Clouse is Master Chen's former second-in-command and a master of Dark Magic. Like his master, Clouse has a history with Garmadon, having trained with him in their youth under Chen. During that time, he lost an opportunity to become Chen's right-hand man in a fight with Garmadon in the training yard, thus sparking his burning hatred against him.

Years later, when Chen organized the Tournament of Elements, the ninja uncovered a greater scheme to transform Chen and his followers into Anacondrai. Clouse was one of the masterminds of the plan, although before he could complete the task, he was caught in a battle with Garmadon that led to him inadvertently being banished to the Cursed Realm.

Sometime after Clouse's imprisonment, Morro and his army of Ghosts freed the Preeminent, the embodiment of the Cursed Realm, into the city of Stiix. When the beast was drowned, the Cursed Realm and nearly all its prisoners were destroyed, except Clouse. He would later free Nadakhan from the Teapot of Tyrahn shortly after his escape, and would, in turn, be trapped in the teapot himself. After Jay made his final wish, Clouse was freed, but never summoned Nadakhan. Clouse reunited the Sky Pirates on his own, allying with them to corrupt the Temple of Light and plunge all of Ninjago into darkness. The ninja would eventually stop Clouse, and as a result, he was banished to the Underworld.

Currently, he is the last remaining member of the Anacondrai cultists and the only known survivor of the Cursed Realm's destruction.
