Dr. Julien

"The only reason I'm about to do this.... is because I love you."

-Zane's Father to Zane before turning his memory off.

Zane's Father was a inventor who created Zane and the falcon. Eventually, he got older and older, and days before he died, he said to Zane, "You were built to protect that cannot protect themselves." He soon turned off Zane's memory switch and died in his bed. Later, in Season 2, Episode 7, Tick Tock, Zane finds out he is an nindroid and turned on his memory switch and unlocks his full potental. It appears that he created Zane because he did not have a family of his own, and grew to love him as a son. Knowing this made Zane feel stronger, which helped him unlock his full potential.

Trivia

 * He has the same hairstyle as Ed, which probably means this is a popular hair style in Ninjago.
 * He may have created the Bronze Robot to protect the workshop, though this is unconfirmed.
