Nokt is a corrupted anthropomorphic wolf,[2] a member of the Forbidden Five, Rox's brother, and the Elemental Master of Brute Force. After centuries of being confined in the Nether-Space along with his peers, he was released by Ras during the Ritual of the Blood Moon. However, he became forced to serve Ras after attempting to turn against him for not freeing the rest of the Forbidden Five.
At some point after the ritual, Nokt and his sister Rox (who was possessing Jordana at the time) slew three Arc Dragons and stole their horns as part of their plan to release the rest of the Five. He went on to participate in the Tournament of the Sources, where he captured the powers of every Elemental Master present. He also tricked Sora into destroying the shock collar placed on him by Ras and then went to the Monastery of Gates with Rox, where the dragon horns were kept. There, he used the stolen powers along with the ivory from the horns to bring back the other four. He succeeded in doing so, but was soon stripped of the stolen powers. Weakened, Nokt and the other four escape through a portal gate to the Cloud Kingdom, but were sent to another realm instead.
History[]
Background[]
Nokt was initially an ordinary Elemental Master from the Wyldness alongside his sister Rox. Their paths converged with those of Zarkt, Drix, and Kur, leading them to form the Forbidden Five. Together, they created the Wolf Clan, where they shared their teachings and mystical abilities. However, as they honed their new powers and techniques, Nokt and the entire clan succumbed to corruption. Fueled by this newfound malevolence, Nokt and rest of the Forbidden Five turned their ambitions towards the annihilation of all realms, using Shatterspin and Theroxian magic. Their relentless pursuit of destruction led them to attack the Wyldness, plunging it into an abyss of despair.[3]
In the midst of the Forbidden Five's attack on the Wyldness, Nokt and the Wolf Mask Warriors launched an assault on the South, resulting in everyone there either submitting to him or being killed. Nokt decided to take Zarkar as a trophy and brought him to the Shadow Dojo, where the other members of the Five awaited his return. Upon arriving at the Shadow Dojo, Nokt demanded that Zarkar recall about the Forbidden Five's fame. Zarkar questioned why they would commit such atrocities. Unfazed by Zarkar's defiance, Nokt and Rox proclaimed that it was time for the Forbidden Five to expand their reign and wreak havoc upon the other realms. Momentarily, the group encountered resistance from Egalt and Rontu.[4] The Dragon Masters harnessed the power of the Rising Dragon to counter the destructive force of Shatterspin. With their combined strength, they successfully halted Nokt and his allies in their tracks, preventing them from achieving their conquest. The Dragon Masters devised a magical spell, banishing Nokt and the rest of the Five to the Nether-Space for millennia.[5]
The Forest of Spirits[]
Nokt heard the sound of a drum commencing the Ritual of the Blood Moon from the far reaches of the Nether-Space and mused that after long centuries, he and his peers are finally being called home.
Rising Ninja[]
Kai was pushed into the portal by Ras, causing Nokt to be released from the Nether-Space and find himself in the Wyldness. Nokt relished in his freedom and Ras took this opportunity to divulge his involvement in the Ritual of the Blood Moon and his ultimate goal of freeing the remaining members of the Forbidden Five. Determined to achieve his objective at any cost, Nokt readied himself to employ Shatterspin, forcefully pushing back all the ninja except for Nya. Nya used Rising Dragon to strike Nokt with precision. However, undeterred by the blow, Nokt retaliated by employing Shatterspin once again, forcefully knocking Nya back. Unfortunately for Nokt and the Wolf Clan, their efforts were in vain as they failed to acquire the necessary sacrifices before the portal closed. Suddenly, to their astonishment, Nokt and the Wolf Clan found themselves transported to an unfamiliar location. Outraged, Nokt confronted Ras, questioning his audacity to abandon their mission of freeing the rest of the Forbidden Five. In response, Ras boldly declared that Nokt owed his newfound freedom to him alone. Attempting to attack Ras in a fit of rage, Nokt's actions were swiftly thwarted as Ras swiftly placed an implant on the back of Nokt's head, delivering a powerful electric shock. Ras made it clear that unless Nokt pledged his unwavering loyalty, he would face the consequences of further electrocution.
The Final Game (flashback)[]
Nokt would eventually learn of Rox's escape from the Nether-Space by taking over Jordana. The two collaborated to liberate the remaining members of the Forbidden Five without Ras' knowledge. In order to achieve their goal, Nokt would need to participate in the Tournament of the Sources and emerge victorious to gain access to sufficient Elemental Powers. Additionally, he required three Crowns of Horns to further their plan. To obtain the necessary horns, Nokt and Rox launched attacks on the Matriarch of Fallen Leaves, the Patriarch of the Northern Spiral, and the Matriarch of the Mountain Dragons, resulting in the demise of all three dragons.
The Shape of Motion[]
Nokt and Cinder in a sparring session.
Nokt and Cinder engaged in brutal training in preparation for the Tournament of the Sources. During one intense session, Nokt's aggression escalated as he launched a fierce attack on Cinder, attempting to severely injure the latter, prompting Ras to intervene with the control implant, serving as a reminder that their conflict was not one of war. In response to Ras' intervention, Nokt expressed a belief that all interactions are inherently combative. Ras, however, acknowledged the significant improvement in Nokt's skills since his escape from the Nether-Space, yet he firmly rejected Nokt's suggestion to remove the control implant, emphasizing his leadership role within the Wolf Clan and his unwillingness to tolerate any acts of betrayal. Following the tense exchange, Ras redirected the focus back to their training, which only fueled Nokt's frustration.
They Gather for the Feast[]
At the welcome banquet for the Elemental Masters participating in the Tournament of the Sources, Nokt and the Wolf Clan were present to celebrate. During the festivities, Jordana struggled against Rox's possession and attempted to warn Sora before Rox could take full control of her. Nokt approached them and tried to divert attention from Rox's hold on Jordana by casually questioning where she had gone after she had "wandered off." When Zeatrix arrived, Nokt, Cinder, and Rox joined Ras, who justified his presence in the City of Temples by asserting his authority over Elemental Masters like Nokt and Cinder.
Inside the Maze[]
Believing that Rox's possession of Jordana was merely Jordana exhibiting peculiar behavior, Sora had been observing her with a sense of suspicion. In light of these concerns, Nokt approached Rox to inquire whether Sora had any suspicions about the possession. Rox confessed her uncertainty about the situation but emphasized the need for caution moving forward. At that moment, Frak joined them, and the three of them left together.
United We Fall[]
Nokt had attended Cinder's match. He watched as Ras used the Gong of Shattering so Cinder could defeat Wyldfyre. Later he attended the Cavern Run.
Truth and Lies[]
Nokt watch the Ninja win the Cavern Run. Later, Nokt faced off against Tox with the primary goal of scoring a ball into the opposing hoop. However, rather than adhering to the intended objective, Nokt used Shatterspin with relentless intensity. This barrage of attacks inflicted injuries on Tox, ultimately incapacitating her and resulting in Nokt being awarded victory by default. Nevertheless, Nokt persisted in his offensive maneuvers against Tox until Roby intervened, issuing a warning of disqualification to Nokt. Nokt later met up with Rox and called her sister, intriguing Sora, who overheard. He eventually receives Tox's Poison power through the Elemental Cup.
He later overhears Rox talking to Ras about his plans to create more Dragon Icons.

Later, Roby announces Nya and Nokt as the next two competitors. As the two line up, Nokt mocks her over her brother's absence and her boyfriend's usefulness. Roby explains the rules of the match, saying whoever gets the majority of the three gems will win. The game begins and the two start fighting. Nokt looks around for a gem and sees it appear. He manages to overpower her and takes the gem, earning a point. A few moments later, they both see another gem appear and Nya grabs it. Nokt performs Shatterspin and Nya uses Rising Dragon to counteract it and knock him down. After more combat, Nya tries to take the last gem but it disappears and reappears next to Nokt. He gets a hold of it and Roby declares him the winner. Roby transfers Nya’s water and Lightning powers to Nokt.
The Sword Shatters[]
Nokt and Rox infiltrated the ninja's quarters with the intention of capturing Nya and Riyu, having realized that they know how Dragon Ivory can help free Kai and Bonzle from the Nether-Space, mirroring the evil siblings' strategy to rescue the remaining members of the Forbidden Five.
Subsequently, during the tournament, Nokt faced off against Neuro in a challenging puzzle game. Using Lightning to incapacitate Neuro, Nokt was able to swiftly complete the game and secure victory. Following this triumph, Roby transferred Neuro's Mind power to Nokt with the Elemental Cup.
Clues and Suspects[]
Nokt went up against Lloyd. Due to Lloyd's injuries, Nokt managed to hold against the Green Ninja. When Lloyd used Rising Dragon, Nokt manage to sneak attack him using Shatterspin which blew Lloyd back. Bleckt orders the fight to stop because according to the ancient rules of the Source Dragons, they don't permit injured fighters before a match. This makes Nokt the winner by default and he receives Lloyd's Energy power and his other powers as his prize via the Elemental Cup.
The Final Game[]
Nokt observed Ras as he practiced, emphasizing to Rox the importance of eliminating Ras. Rox reassured him, stating that it was just a matter of time before they would put an end to Ras, allowing the Forbidden Five to carry on with their destructive mission.
As night fell, the championship match of the tournament was set to commence, with Nokt facing off against Sora. During their battle, Nokt expressed his lack of respect for Sora's fierce resolve, boasting that she had never encountered an opponent like him, despite her previous confrontations with her parents and a whole kingdom. In the heat of the fight, Nokt unleashed Shatterspin while Sora countered by creating an Ice wall, merging it with the powers of Reflex and Quake. Although Nokt shattered the ice barrier with Shatterspin, the aftermath sent him crashing into the jumbotron. Ras urged Nokt to unleash his full potential against Sora. The two combatants then engaged in a fierce exchange of their Elemental Powers, with Nokt initially gaining the upper hand, arrogantly asserting that he could outperform Sora in every aspect. However, when Lloyd encouraged Sora to outsmart Nokt, Sora spotted the control device hidden on the back of Nokt's head. Seizing the opportunity, Sora used Technology to transform the control implant into a techno-bee, which stung Nokt and delivered a jolt of electricity. Just as Sora was poised to deliver the final blow to win the match, Bleckt discreetly tilted the arena, shifting the advantage back to Nokt. Using Wind and Shatterspin, Nokt managed to knock Sora off her hoverpad, ultimately securing his victory in the Tournament of the Sources.
.png){kind=link}
Nokt reveals his secret plan to release the other members of the Forbidden Five.
At the victory ceremony, Roby was prepared to declare Nokt as the Champion of the Sources. However, just at that moment, Wyldfyre and Zur arrived, revealing that Bleckt had rigged the games to guarantee the Wolf Clan's success, including Nokt's battles against Nya and Sora. This information left Roby in disbelief, prompting him to cancel the ceremony. Nokt unleashed Shatterspin, which sent Roby flying and allowed all the Elemental Powers from the Elemental Cup to surge into him. With the Elemental Powers in their collection, Ras pushed forward with his plans, but Nokt declared that he no longer works for Ras. When Ras tried to use the control device on Nokt, the evil warrior voiced his growing contempt for Ras, particularly criticizing his arrogance for not anticipating the outcome of the control device during his fight with Sora. To add insult to injury, Rox revealed to Ras that she had been possessing Jordana since the Ritual of the Blood Moon. Both Nokt and Rox admitted to killing the three Arc Dragons to claim their Crowns of Horns, with Nokt disclosing their goal to free the remaining members of the Forbidden Five trapped in the Nether-Space using the Dragon Ivory and the stolen Elemental Powers. Enraged, Ras summoned Cinder and the Wolf Mask Warriors to confront Nokt and Rox, demanding they comply or threatening to destroy them. Despite this, Rox corrupted the Wolf Clan while Nokt used Shockwave to repel Ras.
Elements of Betrayal[]
Nokt and Rox journeyed toward the Monastery of Gates with the intent of liberating the rest of the Forbidden Five; however, their path was obstructed by one of the ninja groups, stationed at the rock bridge. Nokt expressed his disdain, asserting that the ninja were merely squandering their time. As they prepared to unleash their Shatterspin technique, Zane and Nya swiftly countered with their Rising Dragon technique, which irritated Nokt due to its frequent application. Undeterred, he pressed on to rescue the remaining members of the Forbidden Five, closely followed by Arin. In a moment of desperation, Nokt destroyed the rock bridge, causing Arin to fall, but Riyu was quick to intervene and catch him. Upon reaching the monastery, Nokt proclaimed that the time had finally come for the Forbidden Five to be liberated, promising that the Merged Realms would soon be under their dominion. Just as he was about to open the portal, Arin executed a full Spinjitzu maneuver that sent him staggering backward. As Nokt prepared to strike back, Ras and Roby arrived on a hoverpad. Ras launched the hoverpad at Nokt to further destabilize him but Nokt managed to recover and used an Earth rock to attack Roby. A fierce battle erupted, with Arin, Riyu, and Ras collaborating to subdue Nokt; but before Roby could strip the evil Elemental Master of the stolen Powers, Nokt retaliated, nearly sending him off a cliff. He taunted that the Forbidden Five would relish the opportunity to claim Arin and Ras as their first victims upon their release. Utilizing Shatterspin, Nokt slammed Arin and Ras against a pillar and then harnessed the Elemental Powers to activate the Crowns of Horns, thereby creating a portal to the Nether-Space, which ultimately freed the rest of the Five and returned Rox's soul to her body.

Nokt vs Ras and the Ninja
Nokt was troubled by the state of the three members, convinced they had perished. However, Rox clarified that they were not dead but rather unconscious, a side effect of the corrupted method employed for their release, which had severely depleted their energy. Rox suggested that they flee to recover their strength. At that moment, the ninja arrived, challenging the two. Nokt, determined to face the threat alone, noticed that the ninja and Ras were reluctantly teaming up against him. Despite this, Nokt urged them all to confront him together. He unleashed Shatterspin along with the stolen Elemental Powers to overpower them.
During his battle with Ras, Nokt asserted that this was the consequence of Ras underestimating the Forbidden Five, who were not mere pawns in his game but the true masters of the greater scheme of things. Just as Nokt was about to attack Ras, Arin stepped in to confront him single-handedly in order to protect Ras. At the same time, Nya, empowered by Riyu, harnessed dragon energy to activate the Crowns of Horns, which opened the portal to the Nether-Space. Observing this development, Nokt attempted to intervene and thwart Nya's efforts, but Kai and Bonzle managed to slip through the portal. A battle ensued between Nokt and Kai, with Nokt asserting that he didn't require Shatterspin to defeat Kai, boasting that he now possessed more Elemental Powers than anyone in history. Using Sound, Nokt managed to knock Kai back, and with Figment, he generated multiple clones of himself, each one launching a relentless assault of Elemental Powers at Kai until the real Nokt decided to grow giant through Size, crushing Kai with his fist. As Nokt pushed the other ninja back, he intended to use Heat to deliver a dramatic conclusion to Kai's fate. However, before he could execute his plan, Roby intervened with the Elemental Cup, stripping Nokt of all the Elemental Powers he had unlawfully acquired and also draining him in the process. With the powers restored to their rightful owners, the ninja closed in on Nokt, who stubbornly refused to accept defeat in this manner. Just then, the four members of the Forbidden Five recovered, and Rox encouraged Nokt to join them as they made their way toward the portal gate leading to the Cloud Kingdom.

Nokt drags Ras
As Nokt began to follow, Ras obstructed his path, determined to make the warrior pay for his treachery. However, Nokt swiftly incapacitated Ras with Shatterspin and dragged him along, intent on exacting his revenge. Arin chased after the Forbidden Five, but just as he did, the portal gate erupted in an explosion, leaving Nokt and the others stranded in another realm so they wouldn't be followed.
Appearance[]
Nokt has blue skin with lighter stripes on his face, as well as having azure eyes. His clothes have ghostly pattern that also appears on Rox, While he has beads on his left pant leg, similar to ones worn by the Oni. He also wears a dark straw hat that has pieces of it chipped off.
Personality[]
Before and after his appearance, Nokt is already revealed to be malevolent and evil, reveling in the chaos he and his brethren cause. In the past, he is shown to be highly sadistic, enjoying the misery of Zarkar. When he returned after many years of exile, Nokt wastes no time in attacking the Ninja and sides with Ras. After being subjected to an electrical device designed to make him obedient to Lord Ras, he had no choice but to obey his orders.
When training with Cinder, he is revealed to be highly aggressive as seen when he attempted to kill the Master of Smoke even after he defeated him (and even attempted to kill Tox in the Tournament of the Sources until Roby intervened), but Ras stops him and says he is supposed to have a training, not war. In response, Nokt dryly says that everything is war. Nokt asks Ras to release him from his control implant with a fake warm smile, but frowned sourly when Ras revealed that while he respects the Forbidden Five, he does not trust them, which caused the Elemental Master to have a dislike for the tiger. He is a smart warrior, as seen when he taunted Nya before their battle, about Kai not being present to see her battling and succeed against her opponents, and also about Jay who left the Tournament of the Sources after losing to her in his first match, referring to him as the "other useless ninja". He also cares about his sister and the rest of the Forbidden Five, becoming angry and outraged that Ras wasn't able to free them as promised and later, immediately checking on them after they fell from the portal connected to the Nether-Space. He can sometimes be stubborn, as even when he lost all the Elemental Powers he stole, which drained him greatly, and was outnumbered, he still refused to admit defeat.
When Nokt revealed he and Rox killed the three Arc Dragons to obtain their Crowns of Horns, he was unconcerned of their death, showing he didn't care what his actions had on others, as long as it means achieving his goals and satisfies his bloodlust and sadistic nature.
Weapons and abilities[]
Abilities[]
- Brute Force: Nokt possesses the Elemental Power of Brute Force but its abilities are currently unknown.
- Elemental Powers (briefly): Despite not using his own power during the Tournament of the Sources, Nokt managed to obtain the powers of every Elemental Master that participated by winning matches, before they were returned, and handled many of them with ease, such as Energy, Earth, Ice, Lightning, Figment, Heat, Light, Reflex, Shockwave, Size, Sound, Water, and Wind.
- Shatterspin: Since Nokt was one of its creators, he possesses an advanced Shatterspin skillset. Nokt is able to harness the powerful waves of the technique in a controlled manner of attack. He also doesn't require the Gong of Shattering or a Wolf Mask to perform Shatterspin, as he helped create it. When activating the technique, he stomps his feet at least two or three times before his eyes glow red. At rare times, he is able to completely overpower the ninja's Rising Dragon techniques and even block their dragon beam.
- Skilled combatant: Nokt is a dangerous combatant, outmatching most of the ninja following his freedom from imprisonment. Thanks to Ras' training, his skills improved where in his sparring match with Cinder, he managed to predict his smoke form and overpower him. During the Tournament, he managed to hold against his opponents without using his elemental power; only using his opponent's. However, it should be noted that Bleckt's interventions significantly increased Nokt's chances of victory in his confrontation with the ninja, which he would have lost without such interference. After stealing all the elemental powers in the Tournament of the Sources, he became more dangerous, seeing as the ninja and Ras were unable to stop him until Kai returned to help fight him off.
Weapons[]
- Katana: Nokt wielded a katana as his primary weapon.
- Ras' golden hammer: Nokt briefly used Ras' hammer to take out several of the Ninja.

Etymology[]
Nokt or Nokto means "night" in a constructed international language Esperanto.
Additionally, his name is most likely based on the Latin word "noct," which also means night.
Trivia[]
- Despite being an anthropomorphic wolf,[2] his appearance is very different from the ones previously seen in the Wyldness having in particular a classic LEGO head instead of a molded animal head and a very similar face to the Keepers due to his mouth, teeth and face markings. His teeth also have a slight resemblance to the being depicted on the Gong of Shattering and the markings on his face are also reminiscent of the Munce.
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt explained that Nokt's appearance is altered due to his corruption, which accounts for his dissimilarity to actual wolves such as the ones from the Wolf Tribe.[7]
- His legs share similarities with the Oni, with the beads worn on the bottom of his robe resembling the ones worn on the Oni's necks, and his pants seemingly resembling the plated appearance of the Oni's legs.
- He is the second person to control stolen elemental powers and use them for a ritual, the first being Master Chen.
- LEGO's YouTube video, "How to Be a Spinjitzu Ninja" mistakenly identifies him as the Elemental Master of Shatterspin, but Shatterspin is not an Element.
- With Nokt and Rox being the concealed assassins of the Arc Dragons, they are the ninth and tenth villains whose identities remain undisclosed to the ninja. The first of these was Pythor, the Stranger who helped the Overlord; the second was Krux, who was revealed to be Dr. Saunders; the third was Harumi, who was the Quiet One; the fourth was Zane, who was the Ice Emperor; the fifth was Unagami, being Prime Empire, contrary to the initial belief that Milton Dyer was Unagami; the sixth was Vangelis, who was the Skull Sorcerer; the seventh was the Overlord, who assumed the title of Crystal King, prompting the ninja to question the true identity of the Crystal King; and the eighth was Ras' master as of "Rising Ninja."
- In addition to Bleckt, Nokt and Rox are two of the three concealed antagonists featured in Season 2 of Dragons Rising.
