Biography[]
Past[]
Centuries before Princess Ciara's dad officially became king, Ryker was the King of Astoria. Unfortunately, during his reign, he abused his royalty status by oppressing people and enslaving the villagers without a good reason to. Eventually, he was reported, and the students of Astoria banded together to defeat Ryker, and he was banished from the kingdom as a result. He then vowed to return and conquer Astoria. So the great wizards created the legendary Dragon Blood Crystals to create a force-field that would keep Ryker and his army from coming to Astoria. As long as all the five crystals remain in place, the kingdom of Astoria is safe from Ryker.
Knight Squad[]
A Thief in the Knight[]
One night, Sir Gareth and Wizard Hogancross had a discussion and decided to set up a fake villain break-in, to test the Knight School students' abilities and see if they were ready to face an actual threat.
That night in Astoria, the alarms (horns) go off, waking up the Knight School students. The students came out in their pajamas to find out what the danger is. Suddenly, a portal opens and Ambala, the commander of Ryker's Army passes through. The students wonder how it is possible for her to come through since there was a magical force-field that keeps Ryker and his army from entering Astoria. Ambala starts fighting the students, who happen to have come unprepared with no weapons. Arc and Ciara try to stop Ambala with their double kick attack, only to fail and fall to the ground. She defeats the untrained students and insults them. The Great Wizard Hogancross then appears and reveals that he used magic to make Sir Gareth look like Commander Ambala. He then reveals that it was just a drill. Sir Gareth is disappointed that his knight students are not ready for a real threat.
After the drill, Arc asked Ciara to tell him more about Ryker. During mid-story Arc reveals he lost interest in-between, so Ciara explained Ryker's origins in an "Arc-ified" way. This captured Arc's attention and made Arc want to go see the Dragon Blood Crystals that generated the force field. Ciara was hesitant at first but then decided to take him.
While everyone else is distracted by the "Slobwick" the new slobber-puff like creature, The Princess (Ciara's true form) sneaks Arc into the room with the Dragon Crystals. Arc wants to take a selfie with the crystals behind him and send it to his dad to show him that he made it to Astoria. But The Princess refuses to let him because it is too dangerous, but Arc takes the photo anyway.
The next day, while the two were doing some yoga, The King and The Princess are shocked when Ryker appears through a hologram and informs them that he is coming to conquer Astoria since the Dragon-Blood crystal force-field is weakening. The King calls Sir Gareth and Hogancross to talk about the matter. They realize that one of the Dragon Crystals is missing. This would cause the other crystals to become weaker and start fading away. As more crystals fade out, Ryker's army would be able to come through a portal. And once all the crystals are dead, Ryker himself would make it through and attack Astoria. They had to find the other crystal fast.
The guards show them a bone they found on the door. The Princess recognizes the bone as the same one Arc used earlier. She thought that Arc snuck back in and stole the crystal to sell it just like he stole her tiara. She tells the guards to arrest Arc. Ciara blames herself for trusting Arc. Later that day, in the Tasty Trunk, the guards notice Arc ordering in the expensive section. He claims that he just woke up and found money on him. This convinces the guards that Arc stole the Dragon Crystal and sold it for money. Arc says he's innocent but they don't trust him. They arrest him and start questioning him about it.
Ciara comes over and tells Prudence and Warwick about Arc's arrest. Prudy and Warwick believe in Arc and are confident that he would never do such a thing. They follow Arc and find him locked up in stocks. They try to convince the guards that Arc was a victim and not the culprit, but Arc proves their point by unlocking himself and running away. Warwick and Prudy take Ciara's side and think Arc is was a bad person as well.
After Arc escaped his capture from the guards, Arc started looking for ways to prove that he was innocent. When Prudy and Warwick find him, he admitted that he snuck into the room but he didn't steal the crystal. He then showed them the selfie, to prove it. All the five crystals were still behind him. Prudy and Warwick notice a slimy goo that looks exactly like the goo that comes from the slobber puff's mouth. They thinl that the sneaky Slobwick is the one who snuck in and stole the crystal after Arc left. They decide to go off and hunt for the slobber puff. But before Arc can get the crystal out of its "pocket," the guards catch and arrest him. He's taken before the king, but Prudy and Warwick follow them to explain. They open up the slobber puff, releasing the crystal, and proving Arc is innocent. Ciara comes in ready to beat up Arc, not realizing Arc has been cleared as innocent.
While the duo have their small fight, they accidentally drop the crystal on the ground. By this time, three other crystals have died out, weakening the force field further. Since the force-field was extremely weak now, Ryker's army led by Commander Ambala manages to get into Astoria. Commander Ambala quickly makes her move and grabs the crystals. Her army ties up everyone on the scene including The King. Speaking with Ryker through a hologram, Ambala tells him that she's going to hold onto the crystal until the final one dies out, so Ryker would be able to cross through.
While still tied up, Arc realizes that he's still got his tool to unlock the chains. He unlocks himself, and the other people who were tied up by Ambala and her army. Sir Gareth asks the Knight School students to run to safety because he is worried that they wouldn't be able to confront Ryker's army after their terrible performance during his drill. The King asks Ciara to find The Princess and take her to safety. The Wizard teleports with the King to safety, leaving Sir Gareth to fight off Ryker's army without much help.
The kids find Sage and Buttercup and tell them what's going on and that they should run to safety. Arc takes the blame for the situation and says that he will remain behind to fight and help fix the situation. Ciara says she will stay and fight too because that's where her family is. Prudy and Warwick agree to help too. Sage surprises them when she decides to stay as well, saying that she cares about things, and since Buttercup usually agrees with Sage on nearly anything, she goes with them also.
So, Phoenix Squad and Kraken Squad, and a few other students join forces to go fight Ryker's Army. Sage leads the fight on the ground while Ciara and Arc battle Commander Ambala. After a long flight, the final crystal is about to fade out. Ciara and Arc want to do their double-kick move again, but they are initially nervous to try again. They did it anyway and succeed in the attack, which temporarily knocks Ambala down. The two of them quickly put the crystal back into its place. After the crystal was put back in its place, the other Dragon Crystals become reactivated as well, cause Ryker's army to be magically dragged through the portal, and locked out again. The kingdom is safe from Ryker once more.
End of the Knight[]
Knights & Danger[]
In the short-crossover with Henry Danger, Ryker returns because Bill Evil accidentally let him through. While Ray was telling his boring story, Ryker barges in and asks them where Astoria is. Ray replies by telling him that he is telling a story there. Ryker gets angry and starts trashing the store but Ray doesn't care. Ryker finds a sword and asks them where the nearest castle is. Jasper tells him that there is a "Burger Castle" a mile away and Ryker says that his loyalty will be rewarded when he becomes king. Ryker leaves and Ray continues with the story till Schwoz comes and interrupts him which makes him really angry.
At Burger Castle, Henry and Ray are still fight Ryker and Ryker tells them that he just wants his kingdom back. Ray and Henry feel pity for him and they decide to help him, not knowing his past. In the Man Cave, Schwoz is checking different dimensions. Charlotte asks him if he found anything yet. Schwoz says he could only hear rumors about Henry and Charlotte dating. Charlotte tells him that they are not dating and Schwoz winks at her. Then Jasper comes telling Charlotte that some woman is paying them two hundred dollars to paint her dog's nails, then Charlotte and Jasper leave. Ray, Henry, and Ryker come through the tubes. Ryker thinks Schwoz is a troll slave. Henry and Ray go to the weapon room with Ryker and Schwoz gets a signal from Astoria.
Schwoz opens the portal and Arc and Ciara come and start wondering where the are. They see Schwoz, think he is a troll and take out their swords to attack him. Arc tells that he had heard that "if you tickle a troll they puke gold", so they start tickling Schwoz. Henry and Ray come with Ryker (who is covered in weapons). Ryker tells Henry and Ray that Arc and Ciara were the ones who stole his kingdom from him. Then Arc and Ciara tell Henry and Ray that Ryker is the bad guy. Henry and Ray try to take the weapons away but Ryker ends up beating and throwing Ray and he insults his story. Henry, Arc, and Ciara hide behind the sofa and watch them fight until Henry realizes that Ray is goin g to pass out so he makes a plan with Arc and Ciara. Henry, Arc, and Ciara start fighting Ryker. Henry shoves Ryker into the elevator and closes it. He asks Arc if he managed to activate the bombs and he said yes. Then there is a huge explosion from the elevator. They open the elevator and look at Ryker. Then Ray staggers, goes to Arc, calls him Henry, and falls down. Arc asks "who's Henry". Schwoz is trying to open the portal to Astoria while Ray is telling Arc, Ciara, Henry, Charlotte, Jasper, and Ryker (who is now bandaged and sitting on the couch painfully) the rest of his story. Schwoz opens the portal to Astoria and Arc and Ciara leave by telling the gang they can do whatever they want with Ryker. Ray is about to continue his story when Henry asks who wants to go to Junk N' Stuff and do anything else. Everybody but Ray and Ryker raise their hands and they walk to the elevator. Ray asks them who is going to hear his story and Henry tells him Ryker and the elevator closes. Then Ray tells Ryker the story and Ryker starts crying.
It's unknown what happened to him after that but it's possible he is in prison somewhere in Swellview or in the Man-Cave.
