“I… was a fool. I saw only the things that made us different, not the things we had in common.”
— Gulch to Murtessa, "The Darkest Hour"

Chancellor Gulch is the leader of the Geckles.

History[]

Master of the Mountain[]

Trial By Mino[]

Gulch announced the passing of Proposition 8.8.1-stroke-7a, which prohibited the riding of giant snails on Tuesdays. Ginkle, Garpo, Groko return with Kai and Zane, and Gulch questioned their presence. Ginkle explained that they discovered the ninja while they were out getting moss-milk, accusing of them being part of the Re-Awakened. Kai refuted the accusation, saying that he and Zane were ninja. Gulch requested proof, and Kai pointed out that their bones aren't exposed and can speak, unlike the Dark Skeletons. Gulch proposed a Trial-By-Mino to settle the dispute. He then proceeded to drop Kai and Zane into the Mino Pit, much to the ninja's surprise. Gulch explained to Kai and Zane that the Trial-By-Mino was a test to determine their guilt or innocence by seeing how long it would take the Mino to crush them. With that, Gulch wished them luck. Gulch was elated at the survival of the ninja, acknowledging their resilience compared to other victims. He declared them not to be Dark Skeletons. However, Kai's request to be released from the pit was met with a stern response from Gulch, who reminded him of the seriousness of Geckle Civil Court and warned against any mockery. Soon, Gulch facilitated Kai and Zane's release from the pit, following Zane's successful removal of the Mino's armor.

Gulch was satisfied with the judiciary's ability to exonerate the ninja. However, he raised a perplexing question regarding their true identity, given that they were not Dark Skeletons. Gleck pointed out that the ninja possessed Elemental Powers, which Gulch acknowledged, having witnessed it himself. Gleck then suggested that Kai and Zane might know Gilly, as they were all Elemental Masters. Gulch asked if Zane and Kai were acquainted with Gilly, to which they responded in the negative but confirmed their status as Elemental Masters and their search for their friends. Upon hearing this, Gulch felt remorse for the dishonor brought upon the Geckles by their suspicions and pledged to assist the ninja in their quest. Gulch proposed that Kai be elected as the new Geckle Chancellor. Kai was reluctant, but was supported by the other Geckles. Gulch declared Kai as the new Chancellor, giving him his sash.

Gulch escorted Kai and Zane to the story cave, where Zane was confused over the lack of narrative. Gulch clarified that the cave contained the complete history of the Geckle race. When Kai asked about the Skull Sorcerer and his origins, Gulch disclosed that the discovery of the Skull of Hazza D'ur by the Upply had enabled the return of the Re-Awakened, leading to the Skull Sorcerer's tyrannical reign in the Dungeons of Shintaro. Kai conveyed a message to Gulch and the other Geckles, underscoring the gravity of the situation posed by the Skull Sorcerer. He proposed that the Geckles and Munce collaborate to counter the threat. Regrettably, Gulch appeared to find Kai's suggestion amusing and trivialized the matter at hand.

Grief-Bringer[]

Kai and the Geckles engaged in a heated debate about whether or not they should trust the Munce during the truce meeting. Gulch, however, came up with an innovative idea to settle the matter by arranging a slug race. Gulch elaborated on the significance of the race to Zane, explaining that if the gray slug emerged victorious, it would signify that the Munce could indeed be trusted. Conversely, if the brown slug claimed the victory, it would indicate that the Munce were not to be trusted. Gulch firmly believed that the slugs held the key to unraveling the truth.

Zane was skeptical about the need for their Hero suits, questioning the necessity of wearing them. Gulch reassured Zane that it was merely a precautionary measure, in case they were walking into an ambush. He mentioned that while the slugs were known for their accuracy, there was always a possibility of a first-time mistake. Kai asked Gulch for any information he had about the new Munce Queen. Gulch admitted that he did not know the Munce Queen, except for the fact that the other tribe regarded her as both fierce and unattractive. Seconds later, Geckles encountered the Munce and the rest of the ninja. Gulch discovered that the new Munce Queen was none other than Nya, catching him off guard. Suddenly, a roar erupted from the caves, catching everyone's attention. Gulch and the other Shintarians immediately recognized that Grief-Bringer had returned. The realization filled them with a sense of urgency and fear, prompting Gulch and everyone else to flee from the dragon.

The Darkest Hour[]

Gulch frantically relayed to Kai the vital information about the Geckle Strong-Cave, emphasizing that it was their sole opportunity to escape from th Re-Awakened. Without wasting a moment, Kai swiftly called to the others. However, Gulch abruptly interrupted Kai, cautioning him against speaking too loudly, fearing that the Munce might overhear their escape plan. Despite Gulch's apprehension, Kai firmly stressed the dire consequences of leaving the Munce behind, much to Gulch's disappointment. As the cave was secured, Kai stated that they are safe for the time being. However, Gulch quickly dismissed this notion, emphasizing that they are not safe at all. He accused Kai of allowing the Munce into their cave. Gulch urged the Geckles to hide their belongings to prevent them from being stolen. He specifically mentioned the Ivory Blade of Deliverance as an example. Murtessa, angered by the accusation, accused Gulch of being the one who stole the Shadow Blade, referring to it as the Blade of Milly. Gulch corrected her, stating that it was Gilly, and insulted her in the process. Murtessa retaliated by calling Gulch a thief, claiming that the Munce should search the cave for the stolen blade to make their time in the cave worthwhile. Gulch sarcastically suggested that Murtessa was free to leave if she wanted to. The Skull Sorcerer approached the Geckles and Munce, presenting them with a unique proposition. He offered them a chance to spare their lives and continue their work in the mines if they were to send out the ninja. However, both Murtessa and Gulch vehemently disagreed with this proposal, expressing their dissent simultaneously. Murtessa emphasized that she was the one who initiated the conversation, while Gulch argued that they had both started speaking at the same time. Murtessa clarified that she had begun speaking before Gulch even had the chance to open his mouth. In response, Gulch questioned whether there was anyone present to determine who had spoken first. Sensing the need for a response, Nya urged one of them to step forward. Taking a firm stance, Murtessa declared that the Munce would never serve the Skull Sorcerer. Reluctantly, Gulch agreed with Murtessa, acknowledging that the Geckles would not serve him either.

As the Re-Awakened threatened to destroy the entrance, the Munce and Geckles united to find an alternative escape route, only to discover that the so-called exit they had hoped for turned out to be a dead end. Gulch apologized for leading everyone to their dilemma, acknowledging that he was wrong. Gulch admitted his foolishness in only focusing on the tribes' differences and failing to see the commonalities they shared. Murtessa agreed with Gulch's realization and acknowledged that they were all foolish in their actions. Gulch proposed that they unite against the Skull Sorcerer and face him together as allies. Kai was admired for the unity that was being achieved between the two tribes. However, Gulch clarifieed that it needed to be formally declared the Geckle Chancellor. As Kai and Nya used their authorities to declare peace, the Geckles and Munce made amends.

The moment the Skull Sorcerer broke into the cave, Gulch, the two tribes, and the ninja prepared themselves for a battle. However, Lloyd decided to accept the Skull Sorcerer's proposition, catching Gulch and the other off guard. Lloyd elucidated that if the ninja willingly surrender, the Skull Sorcerer must release the Munce and Geckles from their captivity. Witnessing the ninja surrendering themselves, Gulch noticed the outsiders' readiness to risk everything once more in order to save the cave-dwellers, something Lilly had done before. Nevertheless, the Skull Sorcerer went back on his promise, taking the Geckles and Munce back to the Skull Keep.

The Upply Strike Back![]

Gulch was working alongside the rest of the Geckles as well as the Munce. When Korgran and Fungus give the signal, they free themselves and fight the Awakened Warriors.

Wyldly Inappropriate[]

Gulch comes to the Crossroads to judge a contest on who would be like Zane, but fails to recognize the Nindroid himself is a participant and assumes he is another costumer, under the name Blane. When Zane ended up dead last, Gulch, still not recognizing him, gives him a gift card for a component from Kreel's junkyard as a consolation prize.

Other appearances[]

Generosity[]

During the battle against the Re-Awakened, Gulch and the Geckles used a catapult to launch boulders at the Dark Skeletons. However, their last lever of the catapult broke, rendering it unusable. Zane sacrificed his arm to repair the catapult. Despite the Geckles' efforts, they found themselves surrounded by the Re-Awakened. Fortunately, the ninja intervened and successfully defeated the remaining skeletons. In a show of gratitude, Gulch launched the ninja towards the next portal, thus enabling them to continue their mission.
