Mezmo

Mezmo is a Soldier in the Hypnobrai tribe. He is described as being strategic and proud of his heritage, which brings him into conflict with other members of the tribe when they appear to be degrading the Hypnobrai with their actions.

Ninjago.com Description
Rank: Soldier

Mezmo is one of the more strategic-minded Hypnobrai soldiers who does not parade orders when he disagrees with them.

Mezmo is not happy with their general being under Lloyd’s control and his complaints are loud and frequent. He comes from a long line of Hypnobrai warriors, so he feels he has a lot to live up to, and the right to more power, and he can’t advance fast enough.

History
''Note: In order to fill out the Serpentine ranks, multiple copies of the same Serpentine characters will appear in the cartoon (excluding the generals). All notable appearances of Mezmo himself and generic Hypnobrai Soldiers will be posted below, for your convenience.''

Spellbound
Mezmo was among the Serpentine who attacked Jamanakai Village at the start of the first Serpentine War, but was repelled by the Elemental Alliance. Afterwards, he was subdued alongside the rest of his tribe thanks to the Sacred Flutes, and was imprisoned in one of the tombs.

Rise of the Snakes
Mezmo was one of the Hypnobrai awakened when Lloyd opened the Hypnobrai Tomb. He participated in the raid at Jamanakai Village, but was forced to retreat when the Ninja stole the Hypnobrai Staff from General Slithraa.

Back at the Hypnobrai Tomb, Mezmo demanded to know why Skales refused to confront Slithraa, pointing out that the Warrior could easily defeat their General and seize leadership of the tribe through force. Skales placated Mezmo by explaining that he had a plan in motion - all he needed now was the right opportunity to strike.

Home
With their General still under the command of Lloyd, the Hypnobrai were forced to build a tree fortress for the young mastermind. At one point, four soldiers carried Lloyd around on a table to inspect the fortress. The next day, one of the soldiers was unwillingly made the test subject for one of Lloyd's booby traps.

When the Ninja attacked the fortress, all of the soldiers followed Skales in retreating and reclaiming the Hypnobrai staff at the Spinjitzu monastery. The Hypnobrai then returned to their tomb where the soldiers cheered Skales on in challenging Slithraa to a Slither Pit. Mezmo acted as judge for the tournament while the others watched the duel. After a long, hard fight, Skales won by using his mastery of "Fang-kwon-do" on Slithraa. After the victory Mezmo presented the Hypnobrai staff to Skales who became the new general.

Never Trust a Snake
The Hypnobrai spot another tribe of Serpentine and proceed to battle. They soon realize it was the Fangpyre, a tribe whose general, Fangtom, is a close friend of Skales. Mezmo soon corners Lloyd with other Hypnobrai and Fangpyre but the would-be evil lord escaped when he was catapulted away by the Rattlecopter.

Can of Worms
Mezmo, as well as many other Hypnobrai Soldiers, are present for Pythor's failed attempt to unite the tribes. They soon pursue the four Ninja, only to slip and fall in the icy tunnel.

The Snake King
Mezmo is present at The Lost City of Ouroboros sitting next to a weird-looking Hypnobrai scout. He witnesses the four tribe generals being defeated by the Anacondrai general. After that he hears maracas falling out of the Hypnobrai scout's hands and found out that he was actually Lloyd, who was now in the Serpentines' custody. Later, the Ninja were captured and Mezmo led them into the arena and freed the samurai for the battle. Later, he and other Hypnobrai soldiers went to seize the samurai only to fall beneath Ouroboros to their death.

Tick Tock
Mezmo is present at the Serpentine underground fortress. He witnesses Pythor discover the riddle to where the map of the four silver Fangblades were.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Mezmo is there at the Mega Monster Amusement Park where Pythor unearths the Hypnobrai Fangblade. He then pursues the Samurai only to stop when he sees some cotton candy. He later catches up and uncovers the Samurai and leaves the amusement park.

The Royal Blacksmiths
Mezmo finds a poster for the Ninjago Talent Show and informs Pythor that the Constrictai Fangblade was in the Blade Cup. He then is forced in a Serpentine group called the Treble Makers to win the Blade Cup. Then, upon Skales' order, he attacked the Ninja, only to make the Ninjas' performance better.

Pirates Vs. Ninja
When Garmadon inadvertently brought Captain Soto's crew back to life, a Hypnobrai soldier was among the Serpentine gathered to protest that the ship was theirs, but was locked in the brig with the other snakes.

Double Trouble
Mezmo is one of the Serpentine serving under Lord Garmadon on The Black Bounty. He is Garmadon's 'lieutenant.'

Ninjaball Run
Mezmo returns as Garmadon's lieutenant. When Garmadon complains that they need to remove the excess weight, Mezmo is thrown off the ship.

Following the Serpentine's pacifistic reforms, Mezmo would later go on to judge other Slither Pit matches in Yang's Tavern, attracting participants such as Skulkin, Serpentine, and other lowlifes, with regular fighters including Big Dan, Kruncha, Nuckal, and Zoltar.

A Team Divided
Mezmo would act as the announcer for Kai and Big Dan's fight. Following Kai's victory, Mezmo would proceed to host Zoltar's battle against Kai, proclaiming the battle extra before asking for Kai's title, prompting him to address himself as the Red Shogun.

The Invitation
Continuing his career as the announcer, Mezmo would host Kai's battle against Kruncha, mistakenly referring to him as the Flaming Shogun and being corrected. After Kai's victory, he would initiate the audience's cheers for the Fire Ninja.
