Cinder is the new Elemental Master of Smoke and one of the secondary antagonists (alongside Jordana) of Season 2 of Ninjago: Dragons Rising.
Lord Ras recruited him as one of the Wolf Clan generals and taught him the Forbidden Five's Shatterspin technique. He is also Jordana's rival.
History[]
Season 2, Part 1[]
After Lord Ras recruited Cinder into the Wolf Clan, he broke into the All-Realm Antiques Emporium to steal the Mallet of Shattering, which was needed for the Gong of Shattering. And though Sora, Arin, Lloyd, and Riyu confronted him and the Wolf Warriors with him, they failed to stop them, and he and the Wolf Warriors escaped and entered the Shadow Dojo. He and the entire Wolf Clan then attacked the Cloud Kingdom to gain information about the Blood Moon Ritual and they forced the Cloud Monks to translate the Theroxian text needed for the Blood Moon Ritual so that he and the entire Wolf Clan could free the evil Elemental Master Corps called the Forbidden Five. And even though the Ninja came from the Cloud Kingdom, they were no match for him when he introduced them to the Forbidden Five's Shatterspin technique, which Ras taught him with the Gong of Shattering. And when the Blood Moon rose into the sky and he and the rest of the Wolf Clan prepared to release the Forbidden Five, they used Bonzle, a kidnapped friend of the Ninja, because she was a powerful banishing spell that banished the Forbidden Five, and he and the Wolf Clan used her to free the Forbidden Five. But during the ritual, the Ninja came to stop them, and only one member of the Five, Nokt, made it through when the Fire Ninja Kai was thrown through the gate, and as the Blood Moon was ending and Ras asked his master for help, he and all the other Wolf Clan forces disappeared with Shadow Dojo and Nokt.
Season 2, Part 2[]
Later, after the Blood Moon Ritual, Cinder and the entire Wolf Clan were invited to compete in the Tournament of Sources, where he and the Wolf Clan forces attempted to win the Tournament and defeat the Source Dragons. During the competition, he and the other members of the Wolf Clan had to defeat the other contestants, and in the final stages of the Tournament, Nokt betrayed the entire Wolf Clan and freed the other members of the Forbidden Five. And while he and the other Elemental Masters regained their elemental powers, he and all of Wolf Clan's forces were captured along with the man who claimed to protect the Tournament, Bleckt.
