Percy Shippelton[1] is an archaeologist and a member of the Explorer's Club.
History[]
Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu[]
The Explorers Club[]
Inside the Explorer's Club, Shippelton was giving a presentation to Smythe and Underhill on his recent adventure in the Lost Tomb of Impending Peril, which included being affected by the Boobytraps of Inescapability, resulting in his back being inflicted with arrows, and refused to have them removed.
Later, he was in a meeting along with Smythe and Underhill before being interrupted by Lloyd, Nya, and Zane. Once Shippelton realized the ninja were stealing an artifact, Smythe called security, which caused the ninja to flee to one of the rooms.
Once the ninja escaped the Explorer's Club, the building is left in disarray as Shippelton blamed Clutch Powers for the theft. Unfortunately, he and Smythe were under attack by the Vastodectrus Venemous and begin to run.

Tales from the Merged Realms[]
The Explorer’s Wise Words[]
Following The Merge, several artifacts believed by the Explorer's Club to have been lost forever had reportedly been spotted across the newly merged lands. In response, Shippelton set out to discover some of these artifacts and succeeded in recovering the Scented Relaxation Candle from the Realm of Madness. Unfortunately, Shippelton also had relied on fellow explorer, Clutch Powers' book, Boobytraps and How to Survive Them, discovering to his chagrin that chapter four of the book mentioned nothing about hidden levers of booby traps being disguised as rocks. When he then sat down on a rock to rest, it triggered a trapdoor that sent Shippelton, and the Scented Relaxation Candle, falling into it.
Sometime later, Clutch Powers discovered the pit that Shippelton and the candle had fallen into. When Clutch called out to him, Shippelton angrily shouted back that Clutch's book had an error in it and urged him to sit on the same stone he had earlier, stating that the "error will reveal itself." When Clutch too tumbled into the pit, Shippelton inquired for Clutch's professional advice on how they could escape from the pit, noting that the former was an expert on booby traps. Unfortunately, Clutch revealed that he was an expert on avoiding them, and since he had never actually triggered any before, he wasn't sure how to escape one. Realizing his mistake, Shippelton remarked that the two were clearly in a bit of a pickle now as both explorers sat down to wait for rescue.
Relationships[]
Explorer's Club[]
A devout member of the Explorer's Club, Shippelton has been shown to be on pleasant terms with all of the club's other members. With regards to Clutch Powers, however, Shippelton seemed to have at least admired him in the past due to the fact he owns, and uses, a copy of Clutch's Boobytraps and How to Survive Them. However, this high regard for Clutch seemed to have evaporated after the Merge due to the fact that Clutch's book said nothing about rocks possibly being hidden levers; in fact, when Clutch came to rescue him, Shippelton made it expressly clear that they were not friends and he blamed Clutch for the predicament he was in.[2]
