He honestly goes against the laws of decent character design. I'd classify him as a Gary Sue personally. However, you're correct that he isn't in the mainframe for everything. I just wish the show's creators would stop flexing his total perfection and wisdom and take the chance to expand their world. Well, I think he is near immortal because he does evidently passed away, but more importantly, because of how he is part-Dragon, part-Oni, and part-Human, so yeah. Also, you have to remember, he tried to make the Dragons and Oni make a truce during his time in the First Realm, but when they refused, he gave up hope, so that is a negative trait, hopelessness; as shown in Mystake's story in Season 8: Sons of Garmadon. And I don't think he is a Gary Sue personally because that sounds like a rude character term, and I say this because I am not a fan of that character term, and I never will be, same with the character term Mary Sue, and I have never ever used either of these terms in my entire life and I never will. Besides, who even invented those two terms in the first place. I personally think some characters should be perfect, because not every character has to be flawed in my perspective. I hope my opinion on Gary Sue and Mary Sue didn't offend you. I am just saying, that in my heart, those character terms don't exist. So yeah.
