- This article is about the Lee from Ninjago. For the Lee from the Land of Lee, see Lee.
Lee is the owner of the general store Lee's Supplies, which he used to sell goods to the Skulkin. His fellow villagers view him as a disloyal and dishonest man who obtains his wealth illicitly.
History[]
Jay: Ninja of Lightning[]
When Jay and Kai arrive at Lee's Supplies to restock their supplies, Lee awkwardly told them that the shop was closed for the night, and that he'd be open again at nine the next morning. Kai expressed his anger that the sun hadn't even begun to set, and Lee stated that he had dinner to get to and proceeded to accuse the ninja of plotting to steal his goods. After Kai mentioned the Skulkin, Lee claimed that there were no Skulkin in the area, despite the ninja knowing that there were. Lee then directed them to a nearby inn where they could stay the night.
When the two ninja become acquainted with residents in the inn, they learn of Lee and his character. Mrs. Park, the innkeeper, states that Lee sells incomplete bags of flour, expired bread, and fragile nails and axes. Din, a trader, states that he would sell goods to Lee, which Lee would sell and pretend as though he didn't owe Din anything. An old man, Lu, states that Lee is a thief and a cheat.
That night, Lee's Supplies collapses on Lee while he is still inside. His wife quickly arrives in the growing crowd, and he whispers the word "trader" to her, which she mishears as "traitor".
The next day, the two ninja go to investigate the crime, and to talk to Lee's wife. She tells them that Lee claimed he needed to return to his shop to put out a candle that he left lit. When they look at the records he kept of his shop, they discover that he had more goods coming in than he was selling, meaning that he should have gone out of business long before.
As the investigation continues, the two ninja learn that Lee sold the villagers weapons and equipment for them to defend themselves with from the Skulkin, draining their treasury. They also heard of the suspicion Lu had of him about Lee profiting from thieves who worked with him, though Lu couldn't confirm the tale.
Eventually, the two ninja connect the dots and discover that Lee used his shop to sell supplies to the Skulkin, explaining the deficit documented in his records and the foul play involved in his injury. They summon the suspects of the crime and eventually root out Din. Din breaks away and flees, eventually fighting the ninja. He reveals that he would sell excess supplies he had to Lee, who would sell them to the Skulkin. He was also the person who caused Lee's Supplies to collapse, injuring Lee.
