An unnamed individual is a celestial being[1] who resides in the Cauldron of Realms[2] and the master of Lord Ras. They aspire to exert control over the Source Dragons, enlisting the assistance of Ras in this endeavor, with the ultimate goal of harnessing their dragon power to achieve supremacy over the Merged Realms, which includes reversing the Merge.
History[]
The Forest of Spirits (flashback)[]
When a lost Ras was just a cub, he met his master, who taught him strength.
The Spell at the Waterfall[]
Ras' master contacted Ras while he was speaking to Jordana. As a result Ras tells them that he has a new plan, and that they need five Cloud Monks to be a sacrifice to the Blood Moon.
Rising Ninja[]
After the Ritual of the Blood Moon failed, Ras was unable to liberate the remaining members of the Forbidden Five due to the interference of the ninja. In his desperation, Ras reached out for assistance from his master. The master responded by teleporting Ras, along with the Wolf Clan and the Shadow Dojo, to a vast open field. Once there, the master called Ras into their void, where Ras vowed not to disappoint his master again. He pledged to triumph in the Tournament of the Sources and to control the Source Dragons, assuring that the energy of the dragons would ultimately belong to them.
Other appearances and mentions[]
The Power Within[]
After escaping from Imperium, Ras approached his master to discuss Jordana and her exceptional abilities to drain Source Dragon energy. Recognizing her potential, Ras emphasized how her skills could greatly contribute to the master's ultimate objective.
The Blood Moon[]
Ras mentions to Jordana that his master taught him that obtaining true power takes time.
The Forest of Spirits[]
Ras informed his master that all arrangements for the Blood Moon Ritual were complete. He noted that the master's meticulous planning and patience were finally paying off, and it was only a matter of time before the Merged Realms fell under their dominion.
The Shape of Motion[]
Nya mentioned to Lloyd that they were unsure about the identity of Ras' master after learning about them. In response, Lloyd raised a question about the master, wondering how someone could possess such power, especially the teleportation method they used on the Shadow Dojo.
The Final Game[]
Ras mentions his master when demanding, Nokt and Rox (possessing Jordana), their compliance for the sake of his master's desires at the Cauldron of Realms or face destruction.
Powers and abilities[]
- Manifestation: Even though they are not truly present, Ras' master can manifest themselves into a glowing unknown form to communicate.
- Telepathy: The master can summon Ras into an unknown void where they talk to him telepathically.
- Teleportation: The master can teleport any being or thing from one place to another without being physically present.

Trivia[]
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt jokingly said that Ras' master is Lobbo's mom and no one would see that coming.[3]
- When Ras speaks to his master, his eyes glow as he is pulled into his master's void and he levitates. This is similar to what happens to Lloyd in "Beyond the Phantasm Cave," when the Source Dragons pull Lloyd into their void he is spiritually present, but physically floating, and his eyes glow.
- They are the eighth major villain to have an identity hidden from the ninja. The first was Pythor as the Stranger from Rebooted; the second was Krux as Dr. Saunders; the third was Harumi as the Quiet One; the fourth was Zane as the Ice Emperor; the fifth was Unagami as Prime Empire itself, rather than Milton Dyer as the ninja initially thought; the sixth was Vangelis as the Skull Sorcerer; and the seventh was The Overlord as the Crystal King.
- The Netflix subtitles of Rising Ninja refers to Ras' master as a celestial.
- Much like potential parallels to be drawn between Ras and Lloyd as teachers, there are also potential parallels between Wu and Ras' master.
- Both are a currently omnipresent force with golden coloring, guiding the teachers of opposing sides and aiding them in a semi-passive manner.
- While likely not indicative of anything, when Ras' master teleports Ras, the Wolf Clan, the Shadow Dojo, and Nokt away from the Forest of Spirits, the visual and sound effects present for the Golden Ultra Dragon fading away in Roots are utilized.
